15 MUST KNOW TIPS IN FORT JOY | DIVINITY: ORIGINAL SIN 2 

Big Tips: You can place any item in your "Backpack" item from your starting inventory and place said backpack on your hot bar for quick access to a bunch of items. Particularly handy for special arrows and potions. New arrows or pots picked up or given to that character will automatically go to the stacks in the backpack too! Combine a Poison Barrel with every weapon you have to give it permanent poison damage. Great for upselling your old gear and unneeded weapons. Nails + any Boots will give it Immunity to Slipping - perfect if your party has a hydrosophist making ice surfaces. Nails + claw or repair hammer gives you 4 lockpicks per nail.

I'm finally playing this game in 2022 despite it being on my radar for the last 3 years lol this video was really helpful for me so thank you!

For my aproach (playing blind and for the first time) I explored every nook and cranny except for fire slug cave. I killed the guys playing cards. I healed the guy at the healer then when he was not going to give me a reward I killed him and the healer. I left the blind elf behind because I was gonna leave her for good but later found out I can come back to Fort Joy. I got my teleportation gloves. I found the missing food crate. As companions I choose the rebel dwarf, red prince and killer elf. I talked with Stingtail as red prince and I let the she elf kill him. I talked with most people my companions wanted me to. I refused the quest for teleportation gloves (didnt know it was for them). And I got rid of my collar also killing a patrol officer on my way out. I also killed the hidden frogs and the boss at the beach. And for the escape I used the key that the rebel dwarf got from the arena after teleporting the elf up high. I looted most of the main building and sneaked out into the swamp. I doubled back through the sewers and saw some crazy monks so I went back. Overall I basically explored everything. I plan to come back using teleportation too to kill them all. Why? Because durning one of the g fights somebody killed my black cat.

I jumped into this game blind a few days ago, and I'm having a blast. I've done Fort Joy at least 5 times with different builds, and haven't got bored once. I'm currently a human skeleton rogue, doing lone wolf.

My friend just got me the game as a gift and I'm hooked. This video was very helpful. Given some of the tops were spoilers to skip, maybe timestamps would be good. Either way I liked how easy to digest your video is 😄

that positioning tips is great help.

very good video! I've played the game a few hours already but this made me boot it up again :D

Nobody ever tells you when one should remove the collar at fort joy, or list the quests to finish before removing it. Including some companion quests become locked out if you remove it, particularly iban's quest.

Nice vid :) enjoyed watching it

1:33 Red Prince saying Amogus

I’m TOTALLY new to this RPG type game… and so far I love it’s depth… BUT it’s SOOOO complicated… I guess just reading /watching videos… and trial and error.

Thanks , all good info 👍

You can only steal once per NPC so while on fort joy you should wait till lv 3 or 4 depending on if you have lone wolf on or not. That way the skill shops have 2nd tier books and they are easier to get. If you steal early which is tempting, you may not have the gold to get the skills you want when you lv.

Thanks!❤

Excellent vid.

Just bought the game, played 3 hours and I must say that I wasn't expecting tactician to be this difficult, I managed to pick up a lot of quests and complete some but fights are absolutely PAINFUL. I managed to get my hands on a cool "golden" Armor one of the vendors has, as well as some other armor pieces but I still get shredded like nothing :{

my wife and I are co-oping through the entire game. Oh, and we're just made it out of Fort Joy with my kitty. Thumbs up

I just got this game cause I couldn't afford the new one that's popular. It's a great and crazy game. I'm not familiar with the setting, or the type of game, so it's been a lot of learning. Very fun though, so immersive. I'm the guy that usually skips dialogue, so I was concerned, but I don't want to in this game. I highly recommend.

ngl the perma buffs on talking characters seems hella usefull

I'm on my first playthrough and just got out of fort joy after 25 hours, could've escaped much earlier but I really wanted to do everything I could there. It's my first CRPG game and its being an absolute amazing experience, I had this game in my steam library since like 5 years ago and I really regret not give this genre a try sooner, and people say BG3 is even better... I have a lot of hours of fun in front of me. Does anybody know any similar games that have this level of quality? The only one I've read is good is pillars of eternity.

Hey guys any tops for the history?, which history i should pick or create a new character?

You can also just pickpocket the ring back off Yarrow after giving it to her.

My next video will be over another class mod! You can help me decide which one you would like to see next: Equilbrist or Lolthsworn?

I have a lingering question about companions and completionist tendencies. If I roll with the same 4 throughout Fort Joy, will I regret it later? Seems like the are some things each character needs to do in the starting area.

Good video, but lord, that background music is way too loud

ohhhhh that's how I use the bags

This game is really good, I have 425 hours on it... I really like it.

I know everyone says not to split damage but I hate having all the lack of variety for a first playthrough.

I need a video labeled, for the hopeless, i need a super dumbed down version for combat, i do not get it, this dude that hates the prince is beating my ass over and over, sets me on fire then stabs the shit out of me, game over

tip 9 solution: you can give the ring back to the magister, then steal it from her as she prepares to leave for the beach, that way, completing the quest and get the ring back without having to kill them, but you might want to kill them regardless unless you already stole everything from Migo beforehand

When i know there is a fight, i usually use sneaking, and wbit the mage cast a big ass fireball, so i can summon fire summoning, that can use fireball, ti cast even more fire ahahahah, i love fire

"Unless you kill them AFTER the quest", I wasn't aware that wasn't an option, ofc you kill them, xp and loot ^^

Had this game forever and still haven’t finished it. I have barely made it outside of fort joy. Tried many times and always end up getting bored and stop playing

Did he say ‘multiplicitavly’? 😂😂😂

Hi! I have a question! I’m a person with unique taste and I never was a fan of take turn base games, yet people tell me this game is Amazing and I need to play it. With that said how can a person like me, a person who hates take turn base games fully enjoy and have fun in the game without being turned away by type of gameplay?

i dont know why my party is full but when im fighting im alone.

I like the game, I just got it recently, but Im getting my ass handed to me

That isn't how you pronounce Lebensmüde =(

Damn. You need to be careful with your audio balancing

Fort joy is so lame. Id prefer open freedom than wearing a collar for the first hour or so

i find this game wayyyy to hard and complicated ive done everything almost in fort joy other than the arena quest cuz no matter what i do i always get pummeled by the enemies its kinda ruining my vibe to even give bg3 a try cuz im so irritated with this game

Decided to play this for the first time after beating Bg3 in Honor Mode… I’m getting my ass kicked in act 1 in normal difficulty 🥹👍🏽
