I was an elementary school kid when I got stuck in the Crystal desert. Elona Reach I never completed. I want to reinstall and start the game over just so I can finally beat it after all these years
@@z9chmoloch Hehe, nah, I'm talking about the Augury Rock Mission- One of my favorites in the game. Too bad the EotN-Skills trivialised it quite a bit, but BigD will probably beat it oldschool. Whatever, he's got quite a lot to do before with the other two missions and perhaps the attribute-quest... We'll see.
The Crystal Desert really was where things got real and the game became even more unforgiving especially back in 05/06 when there was only henchmen and you couldn't even flag them. I think they intentionally put a crap ton enemies when you first leave and step into Prophet's Path just to mess with players, lol. Regarding 2:10, you just brought back a memory of 2006 where a kid was in the Oasis crying in chat about how he couldn't figure out the teleporters. I'm imagining him as a lawyer or something now with kids of his own...
I remember getting to the desert back in 05 and having zero clue what to do next. I was super antisocial and wouldn't ask for help. I spent hours wandering around that desert. Such great memories.
I think I hit my every first lvl 20 ding in the crystal desert. I remember feeling so ecstatic about it. Seeing your warrior at 19 brought back some good memories. Cheers big D
My warrior used to run people to every mission in this desert for the smallest amount of gp, yet I enjoyed it. Thats how I got my first elitr armor set (prophecies) Thank you again for this series
its really nice to see that this game still has its core audience; dont get me wrong i love gw2 but this game has my heart. i also played all the og games in middle school lol
I remember struggling the hardest with Elona Reach since it had so many choke points you just couldn't get thru with a random group. It was pretty popular to run the mission back in the day.
Whaaat ? Dude I played this recently and Elona Reach was HARD ! Haha :D I didn't get the bonus and came back alone (all henchmen were dead) with an heroic run and the last crystal with like 40 seconds remaining, hahahaha :D Thirsty River was hard as well, and Dunes of Despair was a piece of cake as I recall, haha :D I think we're at the same level Factions wise, got to be a bit ahead of ya to watch your recent vids, haha :D
don't forgot to steal Warrior's Endurance from the warrior boss ;) sweet exp and also good for a W/A dagger spam build ;) Even good for a axe build with Cyclone Axe and Whirlwind Attack
This was the hardest area in the game for me until someone I was playing with during a mission told me to get a run to Droks and upgrade my armor since I kept dying so fast.
I did the same as you back then. I piked up the game recently again and discovered there are collectors in all the desert giving you a max armor ! I never bothered to look at them...
Question: Will you do UW2 (aka The Hall of Heroes/Tomb of the Primeval Kings)? And maybe get Victo's Battle Axe and some other stuff? Or will you skip that?
Divinity Original Sin 2 is the closest thing I've seen. Combat is turn based but the build system is similar. Infact it's more than dual classes, you can technically be as many as you want
