Yeah I had no idea that was there.  I feel like I'm seeing a whole different Ancaria.

How has come the idea for the developer to put these eggs there? "None will ever see them anyway" may have he thought, desperatly. And yes! We saw them What a good surprise it must have been to discover them. Nice find.

The chimney easter egg is marvellous!

UNhappy to report: the GOG-version got exactly the same problem as the Steam-version on my system: loading screen shows, after that only dark screen.

Sorry to hear that.

Have you tried putting your Windows 10 for Games: Settings > Games > Game mode > On

and Developers Mode: Settings > Update and Security > Developers Space > Developer Mode > On

Also try to remove any GOG Galaxy or Steam client overlays.

Have you finally tried to install CM Patch? It can do the trick.

Good luck.

[Help Sacred 2 Gold (steam) don't start (startup error)]

Hey all, a shame that the steam version has so much problem for Sacred 2 to launch on Windows 10. Can't you have a refund on Steam and buy it on the GoodOldGames (GOG) platform? I don't think the GOG version (the one I got instaled right now) has all these problems.

Just in case, try to rename the folder trailer (for example in trailer_old) situated in the locale\<your_language>\ folder of Sacred 2. It will then skip the intros, maybe that'll help.

Else I saw recently that putting Windows XP SP3 compatibilty mode worked for some players.

Well, at least it was exciting to me

Actually it was exciting, does this game still have secrets to be found? When you see the amount of details, could be.

[[Solved] Possible Easter Egg - Strange Item on top of a mountain in the crystal region. Can you help me reach it?]

You should have a teleport ability to check. Don't know if you can teleport with a console command.

[Using Deep AI to Retexture Sacred 2]

I'm not into all that, it exceeds me but it's brilliant. Where you are taking the game is awesome! Keep up the great work, long live Sacred!

I noticed that in the crystal region on top of the mountain directly western to the watchtower where Seraphim Latencia dies during the First Steps quest, there spawns an item with the quest item icon on the minimap. The item is too far away to pick it up, there is no area on that mountain where you can teleport to get to the item (like you can on the swamp south) and there is also no "hidden pathway" to the item. So far, it seems to be inaccessible to me and I'm really curious what that item is about.

I've just ckecked, I haven't got any spawmed item but I could be wrong. Don't you confuse with a Yeti's fur or something? Sometimes the quest indicator can move unreasonbly.

Delightful, Martin. "Can Christmas Still be Saved", thanks to you, surely.

I wonder if I've ever got it. Making me wants to do a little journey upon the Blood Forest

All these new reworked weapon designs are absolutly delightful Flix. Great job as always This Delior's Holy Staff is awesome and astonishing.

I almost never find any life leech items

Sure they are rare but there are some. I always loot at least one (have to be patient...) and I play self-drop without bargaining (with bargaining you can more often find some at the merchants). At first glance, there is little bonus from life leech (like +1.2%, something like that) so you can think it's not worth wearing it. But in fact it has terrible power (especially against bosses). Well, I guess it's a matter of taste if one want to dual-wield or have a 2 handed weapon.

I totaly love twohander. Sadly, can't find a build where twohander do as much damage in the same amount of time as two one hander. But these look so good, maybe I make a Char just to use this swords for a while. *.*

I second you Roderik, love 2 handed weapons too: An exalted pole-arm Seraphim warrior or a death 2 handed sword Shawdow warrior are among my fav builds. Loving your art Flix, Enhanced Edition becomes more and more appealing to me and if you do the changes for Diablo 2 Fallen as well, well, great job, thanks for it.

Forgot to say: for 2 handed weapons, Roderick, bet on Life Leeching weapons.

[Trying to find the texture and model extractors Sacred Underworld]

Hi Vilya, I think I have what you're searching for: sacred texture extractor, sacred model extractor and pak extractor if needed. I made a zip file you can find on my google drive:

what do you think of the Dark Elf skin without the gray

I prefer the gray one personally as the tone fits with her hair color better than in last skin (personal taste..) but other players may prefer a more "human" looking.

as it's in the public domain already. I could give him credit on the download page.

The pic maybe is on public domain. I don't know if the skin is. And unfortunetly we don't know if he is the original creator of the skin to credit him.

By the way, where is your compass on the last pic?

[Funny/Interesting Sacred 2 Screenshots]

It's "Dark Elf" so it has to be gray imo. Of course you can be dark without being gray but personnaly , the gray is attracting me in this skin.

Too bad we don't have contact with MBMan (if he's the original creator of the skin). I don't know if you really have the "right" to copy his creation. Can be frustrating for him.Hope he doesn't mind.

It's also not going to look great with a lot of armor because most of her armor includes her base skin textures which would still be flesh colored.

Ah crap. Ok, it's designed for pure Sorceress without any armor (if we exclude common "battle sorceress"). Could be fun to try like said Hooyaah. Thanks to both of you

also note that the Dark Elf mod expects you to have Elite Textures selected in the options menu

Good to know indeed, thanks.

[Funny/Interesting Sacred 2 Screenshots]

I have Diablo 2 Fallen currently installed, don't know if it will make conflict or not if I activate the mod after D2F. Maybe @Flix ,could you please confirm that I can activate the mod after D2F?

Also the readme can be confusing for beginners because it speaks about 2 folders that don't exist (""Sacred 2 NM2017" or "Sacred 2 NM2017 Alternate"").

[Funny/Interesting Sacred 2 Screenshots]

omg, a little present, just for me. Thanks a lot Steve m8, she's gorgeous. But...where I get it?

[TyBosso DeElfici unveiled]

Thanks Gogo m8. Games devs have always showed some treasures of ingenuity in games development and Ascaron devs were certainly among these ones. I too have always find these sets names from Sacred 1 so mystical, like from another world, love them. If it's Clan DA which found that these were actually anagrams, they deserve a medal

[TyBosso DeElfici unveiled]

It is called Docteur Divago in French (doctor Divago). It's a word game between divaguer (near "much think" or to divagate) and Doctor Jivago, the movie (Doctor Zhivago https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Zhivago_(film) ).

Thanks Chattius, I find that always interesting. We can see the awesome work of the translators who didn't just stupidly translate but did a real work of research and creativity.

There is a drinking song about him, which would translate as:

"I can make the blind walk and the lame see"

aha nice one

Could you tell us which Orcish priest/Healer maybe? Maybe a screenshot of his position, to see how he is actually named in the different versions please? I doubt he is called Eisenbart in the french version (maybe). I would like to check.

De Elfici's are a play on the De Medici family.  Tybosso always sounded like a vague analogue of Lorenzo or one of the more famous patriarchs of that historical family.

Nice, must be related too indeed. I think I'm not far away the truth and I can't stop laughing at the Ascaron devs ingeniosity and humor like, "thank you so much boss for making us work so hard"

It reminds me of this french (maybe international, dunno) tv advertising ("see you president") where an employee says goodbye to his boss because he just won the jackpot at the lottery

"You too, when you'll have won, send us your movies"

 

[TyBosso DeElfici unveiled]

Greetings proud adventurers. I come to you today because I've had a tilt! Starting to know how Ascaron devs are reasonning and choosing the names of the items sets or NPC (in Sacred 1 for example, the vampiress set E'sal Hy-Lef is in fact the anagram of Faye's Hell like many others like you can see on this page http://clan-da.com/showthread.php?t=3239 ), something came to my mind about TyBosso DeElfici. Couldn't it mean in fact something like Thank you Boss of the felicy(ty) as a wink and salute for Ascaron boss?

I let you meditate on that! See you!
