Ah sorry misread that part in your post
Yeah I know what enemy you're referring to...called Rifthounds (least in the English version) couple Alpha Heroes would be pretty bad
Sounds like Staunton Mines for that ghost boss...for me...hmm my nemesis is any boss/hero that can stun...man I hate those guys...and speaking of Nemesis...anyone get high enough reputations to meet any of the Nemesis bosses? OMG lol...there's a certain one that is tough....of course end boss is pretty tough too but won't say anymore..hate to put out any spoilers
Edit: Not the Staunton mine...but it's one in that area
Having played a few times recently, the ghost cave is before the mines, you can generally find it before the first warp location in chapter 2., It is filled with ghosts only and has at least one purple and three regular bosses. As well as a shrine which always produces one boss. They don't last long against my current Sorcerer.
I don't play HC but I still don't like dying, its a fail to me. Even though there is no survival bonus, I just know.
I only play mixed classes, Soldier seems to lack attacks but then most are added to default, and its hard not to include soldier in a mix as his defensive skills are so handy for casters. Occultist is, like shaman, a pet class or a caster... though the similarities end with pets, the shaman can also be melee... I guess there is probably a build for a melee occultist mix somewhere.
Its so hard not to include arcanist or soldier in a mix, their buffs are just so nice...
Highest I got so far is level 48, Battlemage. Soon to be eclipsed by a warlock.
Almost at 200 hours, but only had game two weeks
How do you get empowered gear? (Nevermind, seems it just falls after a certain level)
-
So that's what the smuggler does, I had to find a video to confirm it
-
So I got this game... where is the stash? Maybe its not in first region? I am not sure what I am looking for, I assumed a chest of some kind?
Not much info out there on this game yet.

I will look at Grim Dawn, I have been busy doing a Diploma in Information & Library Services so haven't had a chance to look at many games at all the last 2 years. I think I bought about 5 all up. Once I got my new PC after 9 years using the last one, I had lots of games to try that I could finally run but I had missed a few it seems. TL2 on my pc now is very colourful. Sacred 2 looks about same, just bigger area around me. I thought about Path of exiles but never liked the way melee combat feels. Didn't even give D3 a thought... since I would need expansion on PC and have it already on PS4.
PC:
Intel I5 4690K
Asus Z97 Pro Wifi AC
16gb Corsair DDR3
Asus Strix GTX 980
Samsung EVO 850 250gb SSD
Seagate 2tb HDD
Seasonic 760 watt Gold+ PSU
Silverstone FT02 Black Fortress Midi Tower
Samsung UHD 4k monitor
I didn't think to try the mouse button, not since I got it running in windowed mode anyway, I tried to highlight it when cursor wasn't working but that was impossible. I wasn't sure if it might have been fixed with community patch as I hadn't installed that at time.
Colif finds out who made Grim Dawn, buys it on Steam.. Titan Quest, I had forgotten that game.

The link I used is http://xmas.ancaria.net/patches/cm-patch0150.zip
Its off the wiki
I just added an exception to the whitelist for the short amount of time I needed it and then removed it once file tfr was complete. I will scan folder with AV before installing it.
I scanned folder with Malewarebytes and Bitdefender once it was downloaded so it was a false alarm after all.
So I have a 4k monitor, and its a bummer. I would love to play Sacred 2 on it but half of me wants to see game look as good as it can be (I have a GTX 980 so I suspect I could play it at max at 1080p) but reducing the screen size also makes it a tiny box with a text size so small I can't read it since I have to play in windowed mode to get the mouse cursor to move. Other half of me thinks, I just play it in 4k with low details but that is just a bigger version of what I had before. Another fun thing is the box for screen size doesn't scroll and the 4k setting is now below the bottom of the screen. I might play with screen sizes and see if I can get it to reappear again. << Never mind, after installing CM patch the screen reset itself to 4k, I will just play at that setting.
My current pc should run Sacred 2 in its sleep but the age of the game is throwing roadblocks at me.
Off topic but I wish Unbended was out, there are just no good games like Sacred around any more.

So I got Sacred 2 again on my brand new pc and after finding I need to work in windowed mode to get the actual cursor to move, I am now trying to get a link to the community patch that isn't blocked by my AV program. The link to Ancaria.net is blocked by Bitdefender, so I can't use wiki or the links shown in thread here. ... I would have it on my old pc but its too slow now for me to even contemplate starting,
I am amazed that Sacred 2 actually has support for 4k... I don't think my pc can run it at that resolution though, might stick to 1440p. I now just want to play it again. Not going to try without patch though as I think characters were converted...
Hi btw, hope you all having a great holiday season

I don't like the swamp on my pyro HE, she got very thirsty due to the spitting spiders. On a SW however, its just a wet stage with no real dangers - life is easy living behind two buffs. If there were debuffing mobs there, it would be another story.
-
That is a nice feature, now to get more than 1 part for each set.
-
Yes that is about normal and since we talking here, I will link this as an example of him liking a game. However grudgingly.
I like the style of his videos too, not overly animated.

I looked, my 3 buff SW never got past level 28. Considering every other type I have is over 100 before I decided something needed changing, its a big gap. My current SW is so heavily defended he can stand in fights and not notice unless its a boss. He lacks attack strength though, what you get relying on 1 CA for damage. I should continue playing him but I decided to look at other classes and see if any of them were more fun.
I guess I never got far with the magic user type SW either. Probably more viable now with the extra sets, the first three in game were rather limited. Each matched a theme but none really matched hybrid builds. Without bargaining as an option, SW have to rely on drops and without 19 or so other characters with gear stored away, its hard to get the right set for the build you are playing. So I think my 3 buff guy mostly got stuff that matched the other two lores. I generally just sell any Astral Lord gear I find now, so remaking one would be interesting. I just don't think the build is right. Maybe I should retry another Astral Lord but without 3 focus skills, just getting concentration to 75 instead and getting them that way.
Apart from a ranged SW, Unarmed is the only SW I never tried but I can see how build works, I assume you swapped in shield lore in place of a weapon lore. Shame all the fist weapons use sword lore or I would have gone for them too

Already discussing it here

Judging by the table on wiki, about 89 is right time to stop Lore as the increase starts to reduce around there. So since I have extra levels anyway from gear, I will probably stop it at 75. Not sure about focus as Incandescent skin is only buff I need to worry about number of runes read in, and I am not even near the max level I can use yet. So migth stop them both on 75 and start to work on the others.
Thanks for your help

How do you get a 5 part bonus on this set since you can only have 3 equipped at one time? Does game still count them as equipped even if the slot the item is in isn't currently equipped? I guess I could test it, I have a few parts of these around. If true, I didn't know it was how the game dealt with set parts...
-
its about surviving more than dps at moment. I haven't died but she sure hates those scorpions in the desert, and the spitting spiders in swamp didn't help much. Resistances are a problem I guess, I never have to deal with them on SW as he hides behind his buffs more. HE buffs add damage, not much defence (but I can understand why). It is too late for me to change anything in build besides the last choice.
I wouldn't have pumped 140 into the focus without confirmation its a good idea. Lore I can see being helpful as its more damage. I have gotten to level 141 on SW before so I sort of know what I am doing. It is why I asked here really, as there was no clear sign what to do besides try to get three skills to 75 by 75 (not going to happen, I am not as regimented with my skill application as some, bargaining got more than stamina got before 50. I had been adding to concentration too, along the way.
She is fragile but she kills things without trying. My SW wouldn't mind that ability.

Well, speak of the devil and he shall appear.
Yahtzee just put up his review of the game... 20 days after its release date.
He never releases reviews before the game is out, always after the fact. Since he hadn't played the previous games, he reviewed this game on its merits.. which it has none. Even without the name it has, the voice acting would have condemned it anyway.
True. Bot sometimes he releases reviews within a week of the games release. Guess it took this long to get the word out that the game is... you know.
Often he gets asked to review games because people know how he reacts and find it entertaining. He doesn't hate all games, he actually likes some though don't ask me to give you an example.

So I am playing the self sufficient high elf build and I am curious, when do you stop putting points into the lore? The build doesn't say, all I know is the only skill that doesn't have a point of diminishing returns is Constitution, so do I stop putting points into the lore once its mastered or keep going? Currently level 56 so its not a major problem yet, just planning ahead.

...as there seems to be too much concentration on spells in Sacred2.
Having only ever played SW myself for the most part, I don't see this at all. Unless you mean CA in which case, making a build without CA would be a struggle. I only started a HE this week and being able to eat runes without penalty (within reason) is a new thing to me, very often I have too many runes but that isn't case with her. I have played too many classes where eating runes is the final answer in most cases, so its hard to adjust to. The inquisitor is fun but I haven't tried anything other than a CM/LA build myself.

I like all the moving astronomical devices you find around, and the paintings and all the books... I should use schots camera angles so I can get a closer look. The random teddy bears around the place help too

Same speech? definitely a feature (there are no bugs in Sacred *cough*)
As far as the quest goes, if you have finished the Attack quest the next location is found here
http://www.sacredwiki.org/index.php/Sacred_2:Attack..._again
Thanks for that, I had almost walked over that bridge while looking for the quest, I had turned left at intersection instead of going right. There was nothing on map to indicate it was there. Same applied to next step, where it was only looking at photos on wiki that showed he was in Griffinborough. I just got the quest chain from where it stuck at Attack all the way into the desert.. which is ahead of me currently.
So if anything, its just two links broken in chain as rest seems to work.
While I am here, why didn't the cm team replace the two grey prizes that have always been given for two quests in game, or couldn't they change that sort of code? One is a basket, can't remember what other is.

Its so big you need to stop and take it all in. Its a great background for killing large amounts of wildlife, but if you step back and look at the amount of detail put into it all, its incredible. Sure, the Easter eggs are nice to find (I don't just mean the Easter cult) but just little things like rabbits running around in fields and all the miscellaneous items scattered everywhere. And the bus stops are fun to find... still waiting for my bus? And the details in some of the rooms inside the Ascaron dungeon or one of the areas under Dryad island goes beyond normal in a game, especially since they are just extra areas that people may never visit. This was a labour of love and its a shame it was never appreciated by more people.
Its so big I had forgotten parts of it, like the maze under seraphim island (not that its tough, I had just forgot it existed). I haven't tried to find every hidden thing in years. Before the two extra areas were added I did try to do all the quests, which was tricky since half the escort quests back then were suicidal - now they are lambs

It was hard enough to find Ice & Blood when game was new, yet alone looking now 4 years later. I had bought my I&B off an online retailer and had no idea what my install key was when I tried to reinstall it a few years ago. Eventually bought Sacred 2 Gold again on steam. It was worth it.

How come every Orc shop keeper says the same thing? I wouldn't have noticed except they only ever say the one thing, something about watching their kids.
Oh, and unless I am really blind, where is the next part of the High elf class quest after the Attack quest near Human Capital? I visited every town between it and the Orc port that heads to seraphim island and no sight of the quest chain. I haven;t seen anything on seraphim island either.
-
I am trying to work out where the High Elf quest is Chapter 2, I got some attack quest near the human capital (I should try to remember names of cities again) but I haven't found the next part and I am in the Orc territories. When I first hit the Human lands, the woman I was escorting left and the game seemed to indicate the next part would be near the wall, but after wandering around the normal wall entrances, I didn't find it again. I expect there should be something to get it onto the seraphim island.
I would look on the wiki but the quest info for class quests seems to be lacking a few quests I have already done.
I have played almost every class in a week and HE was first to take down Gar'Collossus (apart from my SW who wandered up to him, hit him a few times, and left wondering what the fuss was all about - but then I have played SW almost full time the entire time I played Sacred 2 so he is slightly well equipped (all green gear)). The other classes who tried to kill him didn't even leave a scar but they need more levels and better gear than what I had on them. The HE is a shopper so made sure she was well equipped with MF gear and had 5 set parts on when she ran around in circles throwing meteors at the poor guy.
Gar is still a gate keeper, the game just gives you enough to kill to perhaps have a second chance if you can't take him down first time. Hence Orc territories are easy to access but you still need to kill the bosses in main chain to proceed the story. I try not to hang around when I see white enemies so I don't know when the areas cap out in silver (expect its on the wiki), but its not level 32 as I got chased through there by a pack of reds before. Just like S1, you can access the entire main continent at any time, if you know the way... the islands are mostly off bound. Reminds me, I should go to Xmas island again... its been a while.
2 Questions for somebody who is just starting with 2 friends
in Sacred 2 General Discussion
Posted
Depending on class, I used to play bronze to get some gear and then restart in silver and not even bother doing half the quests in first play through as you easily out level the areas if you do. If I was playing a Shadow Warrior I would just start in silver as I had about 20 mules and lots of spare equipment for that class. So many spare swords.
But then I only played single player and never got past level 150ish without dying. One character only died as he was first into one of the CM areas when it was released and had no idea what hit him. It wasn't a glitch, was the boss. I had a backup copy of him but I knew he had died. Takes months to get to that level.
Fun game, might reload it again. Just need to get it to run on 4k monitor and not be a tiny window.
