Introduction - Beyond Divinity

This guide will provide some general tips for our Beyond Divinity walkthrough.

Difficulty

The walkthrough was written using version 1.45 and the tactical difficulty level. If you use a different difficulty setting, only the challenge of the battles should change.

Skills

As of version 1.45 of the game, the lockpick skill does not work. So don’t invest any skill points into it.

Your luck rating is the average of your character’s luck attribute and the deathknight’s luck attribute. So it doesn’t matter which character you have open chests.

Potions

When you find potions that permanently improve attributes, you should let your character (and not the deathknight) drink them.

Holy water can be used to create permanent improvement potions (in conjunction with the Alchemy/Extraction skill). So if you ever see holy water for sale, you should definitely buy it.

When you “learn” a skill from a teacher or skillbook, that only changes the maximum number of points you can put into it. To actually use a skill you’ll have to allocate points to it.

Reputation

Although there is a reputation score in the game, your reputation doesn’t make any difference.

Spells

Most wizard spells appear to be a waste of time. If you want to be a spellcaster you should concentrate on the shaman spells Hammer and Lightning Storm.

Sets

When you find unique or set items, you won’t be able to sell them until the following act. Also, set items are broken. You won’t gain any benefit from wearing multiple items in a set.
