Game Mechanics

XP

You'll get XP by making the right choices and passing Skill Checks.

The number of XP received from some Choices is based on the level you're at. These will be indicated accordingly. For example, if the walkthrough says +5/10/25 XP, you'll get 5 XP if you're at Level 2, 10 XP if you're at Level 3, and 25 XP if you're at Level 4.

The levels are as follows:

• Level 1: 1-5 (2 XP)
• Level 2: 1-50 (5, 10 or 15 XP)
• Level 3: 1-100 (10, 20 or 30 XP)
• Level 4: 1-750 (25, 50 or 75 XP)
• Level 5: 1-2500 (100, 200 or 300 XP)
• Level 6: 1-7500 (250, 500, or 750 XP)
• Level 7: 1-15000 (500, 1000, or 1500 XP)
• After reaching the end of Level 7 you'll only get "MAX Level!" but the game will still keep counting the XP as if you were still on Level 7. For example, you can go from 14606/15000 to 106/15000 then to 606/15000.

Skills

You will have to choose Skills for your character. Skills will help you conquer challenges, befriend allies, and unlock special scenes.

Some choices will require you to have a Skill to choose them. These unlock special scenes and often award XP. Only the skills you choose will be among the available options. Unchosen skills will be shaded, chained and unavailable. The option order of these choices will vary based on the skills you have, unavailable skills will appear at the bottom.

More Skills can be unlocked by earning XP, which you'll get by making correct choices, defeating enemies, and passing Skill checks. Earn enough XP to level up and learn new Skills.

There are five categories: Species-specific Skills, Combat Skills, Diplomacy Skills, Survival Skills, Elite Skills. This walkthrough uses the in-game icons for options that require certain Skills.

Species-specific Skills:

• - This choice requires you to be an Elf.
• - This choice requires you to be a Human.
• - This choice requires you to be an Orc.

Combat Skills:

• - This choice requires the Blades Skill.
• - This choice requires the Bows Skill.
• - This choice requires the Brawling Skill.

You get "Triple Threat" if you've unlocked all Combat Skills.

Diplomacy Skills:

• - This choice requires the Charisma Skill.
• - This choice requires the Deception Skill.
• - This choice requires the Seduction Skill.

You get "Smooth Talker" if you've unlocked all Diplomacy Skills.

Survival Skills:

• - This choice requires the Beastmaster Skill.
• - This choice requires the Medicine Skill.
• - This choice requires the Woodslore Skill.

You get "Call of the Wild" if you've unlocked all Survival Skills.

Elite Skills:

• - This choice requires the Light Skill.
• - This choice requires the Kaytar Skill.
• - This choice requires the Stealth Skill.
• - This choice requires the Fireball Skill.

You get "A Hero Worthy of Legend" if you've unlocked all Skills.

At the end of the latest chapter, the walkthrough will indicate the maximum possible XP that can be gained and the Skills needed to achieve it. It is the quickest way to max out the XP bar but not the only one since there might be several ways to reach the maximum. The Skills need to be acquired in the order they appear. Only the required Skills will be listed even if you can have more Skills at that level. For example:

• Elf: 601/750 (Level 4) or means that if you play as an Elf you have two ways to get 601 XP. First, you should pick Bows, followed by Seduction and Medicine then Charisma and Woodslore and you also need to buy the Light Elite Skill. Alternatively, you can choose Beastmaster instead of Charisma as your 4th Skill. (As of Chapter 6, Elves could reach the maximum possible XP in these two ways.)
• Elf: 26/2500 (Level 5) means that you need these 6 Skills and the 7th one is up to you. (As of Chapter 7, at Level 5, as an Elf, you can have 6 free Skills and Light, an Elite Skill.)

Elite Skills

Elite Skills are very powerful premium Skills that will help you throughout your adventure. When you get offered one that is your ONLY chance to unlock the Skill.

Injuries

You can get injured if you've chosen one incorrect option or a sequence of incorrect options. Injuries will persist on your character, and may make future challenges more difficult. They might prevent you from getting XP too. You can treat injuries by finding some items to heal them.

Side Quests

Side Quests will let you deepen your relationships with party members, and collect gear and treasure to help on the adventure, including treatment for injuries.

Social Quests

Social Quests let you get closer to your companions and learn more about them.

Lore Tablets

Collect them to learn more about the world, its inhabitants, and the history of the Great War. You'll get bonus XP for every tablet you collect and if you get all six tablets, you'll unlock a Bonus Scene.

Legendary Weapons

You can collect Legendary Weapons to enhance your fighting skills and gain some extra XP from them. They will also replace your regular weapon, such as your gauntlet (Brawling Skill). You can only use them if you've unlocked the corresponding Combat Skill.
