Combat in Sword Coast Legends is in real time, although you can activate tactical pause to assess the situation and issue precise orders to your party members. While in this mode, you can switch between your party members, select their abilities, or potions, from the bar and get back into action in real time mode and witness the effects. Depending on the difficulty level, you can engage in friendly fire (dealing damage to your allies). On the easy difficulty level, this has been disabled completely. On the medium level, you can deal to your allies only some damage, whereas on hard level, your allies receive 100% of AoE damage, effects of curses or shots from ranged weapons. Therefore, it is important to position properly your allies and keep space between them, or from the center of the battle. Below, you can find several useful hints on how to fight combats.

Tactical pause, assessment of situation - If you do not feel like using tactical pause, play on easy difficulty level. On higher levels, it is required to use this option. And it is not because of the difficulty level, but due to the complicated nature of the fight itself. The greatest downside, of course, is friendly fire, which cannot be avoided, if you decide that AI should take the charge of using abilities and settings. Also, tactical pause is useful in the case of encounters with stronger opponents, such as bosses or mercenary groups.

Friendly fire, the enemy of your allies - The medium and the hard difficulty levels introduce friendly fire to combat. This is an inseparable element of each battle, which needs to be embraced, whether you like it or not. To avoid friendly fire, remember to position your allies right after the battle starts, within appropriate distance of each other, and from the center of the battle. While in combat, try to forward your strongest/toughest character, which makes them take on damage from all the opponents. This not only focuses the battle in one spot, but also you avoid friendly fire to the less resistant party members. While playing as the wizard, pay attention to the resistance of the forwarded character to various types of damage and curses. After you decide to cast an AoE spell, the game displays the radius of its effect. To alleviate friendly fire, try to avoid encompassing your ally with the radius and cast the spell right next to them.

Your surroundings are your ally; use it - During your exploration, you find lots of opponents. Some of them are weaker and some stronger. If you spot a troll in a narrow passage, most probably, there is no reason to worry. Yet, if there is a group of opponents there (e.g. Wilgen from the sewers, during the Making an Entrance quest) the important thing is to answer one question - Is it the best spot to fight a battle? In Wilgen's case, this is not, therefore it is a good idea to take advantage of your surroundings. Before the battle, assess the situation and find out where it is best to fight the battle. Right after the battle starts, have the entire party take a step back, towards the nearest door and deploy the Paladin, or the warrior in the passageway. They will be taking damage. The archer and the cleric should ALWAYS be behind their back. By doing this maneuver, not only do you eliminate potential threat to the less resistant characters, but also you exclude some of the opponents from the battle, because in most cases, a big group will split into two smaller ones. This tactic works with all kinds of narrow passages, doorways and dead ends.

Opponents are also resistant to damage - While obtaining new items, you often face the situation, n which items offer bonuses to resistance to damage, e.g. From damage or from lightning. If this happens, you can be sure that this works both ways. Some opponents (e.g. Rhylfang) are completely resistant to various damage (in the case of Rhylfang, it's resistance to damage from poison). If an ally happens to have a weapon of this element, damage they deal with that weapon is naught. This is why it is important to carry two, or three different weapon sets. The above situation is especially true for mages, because there is no monster in the game to be completely resistant to physical damage dealt by rogues, archers or warriors. This is not the only case, because the majority of legendary weapons (which you will be, obviously, using) have bonuses to damage from elements. If, for example, your weapon provides a high bonus to damage from lightning, while fighting with Elder Black Pudding, you do not deal even a point of this type of damage, due to his resistance to lightning.

Not every opponent is just a rat that can be squashed - During your adventures, you be encountering a wide array of monsters, people or drows. Some of them are going to be easy to defeat and some are not. You need to take that into account, because you may encounter an opponent that is too demanding for you. Cultist Cyran may serve as an example here ((Side quest A Trader's Fate). You encounter him, for the first time, at level three, when you set your foot in Luskan for the first time. For low-level characters, this character is quite a problem, not because his level is too high, but because your equipment is too weak. If you encounter such an opponent, who kills your party within several seconds, give it up and return later, after you have progressed several levels up. You will then have stronger equipment and more skills.

Larethar

The party is the basic element of Sword Coast Legends. During your adventures, you will be meeting various allies, who you can include in your party. Therefore, it is worth knowing about the most optimal make-up of the party.

Rogue (Izhkin, Larethar) - Rogue is an inseparable element of each party. His role is to deal maximum damage and swift elimination of threat. He should be targeting poorly-armored opponents, such as mages, archers or other rogues. There is no other character that would deal as much damage as rogue. Therefore, try to arm him with the best gear possible. When it comes to skills, focus on maximum damage and stealth combat. A good rogue should be able to enter between opponents without being seen, kill the enemy in one blow and escape, before the rest realize what happened. Rogue is, of course, not only about damage, but also about cunning. While leveling the rogue up, focus on the Search ability, because this is the character to search for all sorts of treasures, traps and secret passages.

Hommet

Mage (Hommet, Dalanir) - Mage should focus predominantly on curses. Thanks to this, you will be able to disable some of the opponents, by means of putting them to sleep, paralysis or other controlling effects. Since the mage has all sorts of skills, you can also use one as the main tool for dealing damage, alongside the warrior. First of all, the mage should be wearing robes that list reduction of cooldown time on skills, among their features. This will remedy the problem of endless cooldowns.

Illydia

Cleric (Illydia) - Illydia is an excellent cleric. Due to her race abilities, she can quickly heal the wounded. Her default weapon (the bow) has a special ability that restores health points to wounded allies. You should predominantly focus on developing all healing skills and skills that buff offense and defense. Cleric should be the character to support other allies. When it comes to equipment, pick items that allow you to limit cooldown times and increase health regeneration. A perfect element of arms is the Mask of Relentless Compassion. It is a headwear that provides a huge bonus to the restored health points. Unfortunately, you can obtain it from a side quest, as late as in act three - Speak No Evil.

Jarhild

Warrior/Paladin (Jarhild, Javen) - The warrior should be the toughest character on your party. While leveling up, try to use up points on constitution (CON) and strength (STR). His armoring should provide him with various defensive bonuses and damage-taken reduction. His skills should focus on supporting the party and containing the battlefield. For that, however, you need to sacrifice damage taken, which is a perfect idea in this case. Of course, do not exclude him as a character to deal damage. Warrior can not only be resistant, but also strong and deal as much damage as a mage would. Warrior's role is to focus all attacks on himself. When coupled up with cleric, who is positioned far away from the center of the battle, the warrior can withstand even the toughest of attacks.

Exploring the world has one rule which applies to each class and allies. The rule is about constantly using the Search ability. Because of his natural wisdom attribute, the rogue is the best character for buying this ability. Wisdom increases perception, allowing the character to find hidden things in the game world. Exploring as rogue also allows you to disarm traps which you can find when searching through caves or dungeons. After reaching a newly discovered place, the map of the location will be completely clouded. The best way to uncover it is walking along the corners of the map and finishing the journey in the place where you started it. By doing so, you will avoid unnecessary uncovering the places which you will bypass. In such places you might find various treasures and riddles. Try to enter each cave. In each case, you can find something interesting inside. It can be a side quest, an elite opponent guarding a treasure or a riddle, after solving which you will get to a vault filled with valuables. Exploration and quickly getting rich is related to each other.

Sword Coast Legends is based on an equipment system. However, it's not a system like in other RPG games, where you must met the requirements related to character level in order to be able to use an item. All items found in the game can be equipped by every available character. The only requirement is having completed training in using items. For example, at the start, rogue cannot use hammers or spikes. If you want to use that equipment, you must buy a special ability that trains the character in using a specific weapon type. However, it's not a good idea, as during the game you will have a limited number of skill points and it is better to assign them to abilities related to your character's class. Remember - in Sword Coast Legends, if something is used for everything, then it means it is actually useful for nothing. Part of the default equipment is better than the one found during game. The bow of cleric Illydia is a good example. Her default weapon has a bonus that regenerates the health points of wounded allies. As you should focus on building this bonus for the cleric character, you shouldn't change this weapon to any other that would deal more damage.

Obtaining better equipment can be done in three main steps. First one is buying items from merchants. The merchants in the cities sometimes have very interesting items that cannot be found in the game world. If you will find a new merchant, remember about checking his offer. Second step is killing monsters and completing quests. Don't pass on any side quests, sometimes by completing them you can gain very interesting items. One of such items is a legendary head gear for the cleric - the Mask of Relentless Compassion. The mask makes the cleric deal 99% less damage but he also receives a 100% boost to the number of health points he returns to his hurt companions. Since cleric is a class that should focus on healing, the mask is the best item available for this class. The mask can be obtained during the Speak No Evil side quest.

The last step is crafting. In Sword Coast Legends, crafting is different than in other RPG games. You don't gather materials and diagrams like in Witcher. You don't train your blacksmith and armorsmith skills like in Skyrim. In Sword Coast Legends, crafting is about finding damaged equipment scattered across the game world and ordering the blacksmith from Luskan to repair it. The price for reforging is usually at level of tens of thousands of gold. However, for doing it you will receive legendary equipment which cannot be obtained in any other way.

The equipment has a limited number of slots which you can use. Actually, it's not slots, but the total weight of the items (around 300). After exceeding the weight limit, you will receive a penalty to movement speed, which will make exploring impossible. Remember about clearing the equipment of items you don't need each time when you're near a merchant. Heavy plate armors have the greatest weight (60).

Dialogues in Sword Coast Legends are inseparable element of the gameplay. During the dialogues with characters you will learn many useful facts related to tasks and side quests. In most cases, the dialogues will have assigned lines that allow you to use persuasion or intimidation. It is very important to develop at least one of these two for your character. Persuasion is related to charisma statistic in which mostly rogues, wizards and clerics should invest. The further in the game, the more charisma you will need when using persuasion. Intimidation is related to strength statistic, which should be developed by warriors and paladins. This division is natural for all characters. As a wizard, you should avoid investing in many strength points, which would be useful only for intimidation. Except for resistance to abilities related to strength, wizard will have no use for this statistic when dealing damage.

Charisma is required for using persuasion. It's the most important factor when talking with characters met in the game world. Thanks to persuasion, many times you can avoid fighting and receive large profits. With this statistic you can also bargain with questgivers, increasing the rewards for completing the missions. Sometimes you can even twice the basic size of reward. During quests, you can also obtain very valuable information related to missions. Without persuasion, that information would have been skipped.

Strength is required for intimidation. In difference to persuasion, using intimidation sometimes leads to a fight. In some cases, thanks to intimidation you can save some gold during quests or obtain parts of legendary equipment from the corpses of defeated enemies (for example, during The Blood Debt side quest). In most cases, intimidation has the same effect as persuasion. The only difference is in the attitude of characters and the dialogue line.

The strength and charisma are required for successfully talking with characters met in the game. In Sword Coast Legends you will also face many other factors when other character's statistics will become useful. First one is intelligence. Intelligence is not only related to the basic statistics of wizards, but to the way the character sees many secrets and surprises as well. During the exploration, many times you will find a secret that requires intelligence to be revealed. The best way to find it is switching the character to the wizard who has the most intelligence of all characters (or at least, he should have). It's ineffective to assign one statistic to each character. The whole team should supplement each other and be trained for specific parts of quests. Another statistic is wisdom. Wisdom is needed to locate the hidden secrets. It increases your perception when finding hidden passages or chests.

Crafting is considered only as a supplement to Sword Coast Legends. Because of that, you will not find here skills like blacksmith, armorsmith, enchanting or alchemy, that are focusing on crafting, like in other RPG games. Crafting in the game is done in two steps. First one is collecting damaged weapon or armor parts that are scattered through the whole game world. After collecting enough of such parts, you can go to the blacksmith in Luskan - Market District and order him to forge you a piece of equipment. The price for such action is ten thousands of gold, which is much more than you can afford early in the game. The crafted items are usually very good, but not the best. If you have trouble with finding a proper weapon for you or your ally, go to blacksmith and check whether he has an option to craft item you need.

Character development

When advancing to next level, try to maximize your dexterity. This factor is responsible for dealing damage in case of rogues. As for the skills, below you will find a description of one of many combinations available in the game:

Scoundrel

Hide

You hide behind enemy. After walking out of hiding, the character receives a bonus to critical hits. The fourth level gives you maximum effect. This ability makes Rogue a killing machine. Low reload time of the skill allows you to constantly remain hidden and deal critical damage to enemies that are unaware of your presence.

Sneak Attack

A passive skill. This skill adds additional piercing damage. If you perform an attack from hiding, the damage automatically becomes a critical damage. Level four is required for maximum effect.

Knave's Gambit

An ability that must be turned on. It greatly increases the chance for performing a critical hit. The disadvantage of the ability is reduction of the armor class. Third level for maximum effect.

Assassin

Hidden Dagger

You throw the dagger at enemy and deal small amount of damage. This ability greatly increases the loading time of enemy abilities if he is hit by it. Level four for maximum effect.

Endanger

You attack weak point of the enemy with the dagger, dealing great amount of damage. This skill also greatly reduces the resistance to slashing and piercing attacks. Level four for maximum damage and weakening effect.

Deathstrike*

The strongest ability of the rogue. If enemy doesn't have enough constitution, the ability will deal few times more damage to him. Level four required for maximum effect.

Misty Step

You teleport behind enemy back and deal small amount of damage.

Game style

After reaching a certain experience level, the game style will be based on the "hit and run" principle. Your basic ability will be Hide. On fourth level you will unlock a large boost to critical hit chance, making your character a typical assassin.

If you're fighting weak enemies, don't waste skills such as Endanger or Deathstrike. They have very long reload times and it is a waste to use them against enemies that will drop dead after one or two backstabs. Instead of that, try using Hide skill to walk the enemies from behind and simply hit them. With the Knave's gambit skill, this will guarantee you a critical hit that will greatly reduce the health of the enemy.

If you're fighting bosses and elite opponents, start with using the Hide ability. Just as you get behind the enemy, use the Endanger skill. This will not only hit the enemy with a critical attack that will deal large amounts of damage, but will apply weakness needed during the next attack as well. Once the attack is successful, use the Misty Step skill to escape to safe distance and wait for the Hide to reload. Once it is ready, activate the hiding, sneak up on the enemy and hit him with Deathstrike. If the boss doesn't have enough constitution, the damage you deal will greatly reduce his health (depending on equipment and the dexterity of character, the damage can range from 200 to 400).

Remember about using offensive and defensive buffs before each attack. Such synergy of whole party is required when fighting bosses and elite opponents. Not only will it maximize your damage, but will also increase the defense, lowering the damage you might receive.

Equipment

Rogue is mostly using daggers, but you can also equip him with short swords and rapiers. Clan Solar'el Dagger is a perfect weapon, it can be obtained by finding three pieces of the legendary dagger and then forging it at the blacksmith. Second weapon can be Torga's Pyre. It's a legendary short sword which deals massive piercing damage and has a bonus that deals large fire damage. However, this weapon isn't effective against bosses and elite enemies which have immunity and resistance to fire.

As for the jewelry, find one that gives you bonus to dexterity. Using items that boost your ability reload speed is a good idea as well.

The rest of the equipment should be similar. Aim in having as much dexterity as possible. Drahkar Boots are the perfect item for your legs, it can be found at the corpse of Drakhar in Evermoors. Honorary Dead Rat Tunic is a good armor, you receive it for completing the Dead Rat Revival side quest.

Cleric is a character that has skills used for healing his allies and that is on what the player choosing this character should focus on. Since cleric is in most cases a backup for the team, try to avoid making him join the direct battle. Your place is far from the center of the battle, behind the back of the warrior. Sometimes, enemies are targeting the cleric in first order, so it is important to avoid standing still in such cases - you should run and wait for your allies to kill the opponents. As cleric, you are tasked with casting buffs on your party. Such buffs might increase the damage dealt by your party and overall defense, making the battle much easier. Invest mostly in wisdom and constitution when gaining new levels. Playing as cleric is based on few principles:

Cleric does not fight - Don't try to deal damage. Frequently, after receiving damage the enemy is targeting the attacker. You want to avoid that at all cost when playing as cleric. Remain at the back and help your allies during battle by casting various buffs, healing the wounded or resurrecting the fallen.

There is no definitive equipment type - You can make the cleric wear whatever you want. After buying the ability to wear heavy armor, you can make him into a resistant character. Focus mostly on increasing the wisdom statistics and reducing the reload time of skills. The latter is most important when selecting equipment.

You make an inseparable pair with fighter/paladin - As cleric, you are responsible for keeping the warrior that receives most of the damage alive. Very often, the warrior might be put to sleep or stunned. Your job is to clean him of any negative effects. If the fighter or paladin will fall, you can be sure that you are next to die. Sadly, you will never be as resistant as the warrior and the battle will quickly end in failure.

Character development

When advancing to next character level, in first order you should buy skills related to healing. The higher the level of ability, the more health points you will be able to restore. Once you will have two-three such skills, spend points on the ability that allows you to clean the allies of any negative effects. This ability is especially useful later in the game. Below you will find an example set of skills that work well with rest of the team:

Righteous Champion

Healing Word

This skill heals a single target. Level four required for maximum effect.

Light

Cure Wounds

This skill heals a single target. Level four required for maximum effect.

Prayer of Healing

This skill heals all allies on a limited territory. Level four required for maximum effect.

Disciple of Light

A passive ability that increases the number of restored health points and that gives bonus to resistance to radiant damage. Level four required for maximum effect.

Life

Bless

A blessing that increases allies' chance for receiving a resistance to spell. Second level required for maximum effect.

Aid

A blessing that increases the defense of all allies. The effect also adds small boost to maximum damage. Third level required for maximum effect.

Beacon of Hope

Marks an ally to become the central point of the effect. Each ally that is nearby will receive a bonus to the number of restored health points. Level four required for maximum effect.

Restoration

Removes the negative effects that affect your ally. Level two required for maximum effect.

Game style

Cleric is not participating in direct battle. His task is to stand behind the back of his allies, cast buffs and heal the wounded heroes. When the battle starts, cast Bless, Beacon of Hope and Aid buffs. This will aid your allies during battle, mostly by increasing their defense. Cast the Beacon of Hope only on your warrior. He will be the central point of each battle and he is the one who needs the most of regenerated health points.

When playing as cleric and fighting against the Illithids, have in mind that enemy can take control of the mind of warrior or rogue at any point of the battle. If it's the rogue that is dominated, you must quickly cleanse him of the curse with the Restoration skill. If you won't do it, you can be sure that you will be his first target. Since rogue is trained in quickly eliminating his opponents, you will drop dead before you know it.

Equipment

Cleric doesn't specialize in one specific weapon type that would give him advantage on the battlefield as it is in case of rogues. You can always invest a point in heavy armor using specialization and wear plate armor. Cleric doesn't have a default weapon that he can use as well. It can be a staff, a bow or a sword. However, have in mind that it's not the damage that is important in case of clerics. The most important attributes are ability reload speed, wisdom and constitution statistics and damage resistance.

Cleric's jewelry should contain a reduction of skill's reload time. Later in the game you will obtain a ring that is healing your character and that has a bonus to overall defense - Cerric's Ring (available after completing Illydia's quest). Another aspect of the jewelry should be boost to wisdom statistic and to damage resistance.

As for the armor, focus on maximizing the effect of skill reload time reduction. When exploring the second act, you will find few pieces of Breakneck set which has that bonus. Cape of Eillistrae is a perfect cape for the cleric, it will increase the number of regenerated health points. However, the most important item for the cleric is the legendary head gear which you can obtain by completing the Speak No Evil side mission. This item is called the Mask of Relentless Compassion and it will reduce the damage you deal by 99% while increasing the number of restored health points by 100%.

Wizard is another character class available in the game. The wizard has many abilities that are useful on the battlefield. In addition to the regular curses and summoning spells, the wizard has also a set of elemental spells, such as cold, fire or lightning. The wizard, similarly to a warrior, can be played in two ways at once. This character is controlling the battle by casting various curses and dealing high damage to a single opponent and a whole group of enemies. As the wizard you don't have high defense, so remain behind the warrior who will focus all the damage on himself. The most important statistic when playing as wizard is intelligence which has a direct impact on the number of damage you deal. Below you will find a list of few principles which you should have in mind when playing as wizard:

Wizard is not a warrior - The wizard should remain at the back, next to the cleric. Don't use him in direct confrontations with the enemy, he isn't well armored. Your defense factor will not allow you to receive damage unless you use the abilities that increase resistance to damage. When playing as the wizard, try to help your team during breaks between dealing damage. By using such game style you will fully realize the potential of this class and the synergy between the members of your team will be on high level.

Your robes and staffs are your equipment - Try to dress your character in dresses and assign staffs to him as the main weapon. Such equipment is assigned to the wizard character by default. These weapons and clothes offer bonuses that are useful mostly for mages.

Wizard doesn't deal the greatest amount of damage - Don't use the wizard as a killing machine. He is more useful to control the center of the battle. Instead of buying various offensive abilities, consider some weakening spells and curses. One sleep or stun curse eliminates large numbers of enemies from the battle, allowing you to eliminate them much faster. Using the rogue in this tactic will increase the synergy between your characters even more.

Have at least two sets of weapons - Sometimes you will face an enemy that has complete immunity to your elemental attacks. This completely excludes your character as damage dealer and reduces the synergy between the party members. Because of that, you should have a spare weapon that deals damage of different type.

Character development

When gaining new level, try to maximize your intelligence, this will directly affect the number of damage you will deal. Below you will find one of many available combinations of skills for wizard character:

Flame

Fire Bolt

A continuous skill assigned to the staff. It deals fire damage. Level four is required for maximum effect.

Meteor Swarm

An ability that deals great number of damage to enemies and allies that are in its area of effect. This skill has a very long reload time.

Manipulator

Sleep

An ability that, if successful, puts enemies in its area of effect to sleep for a specific amount of time, eliminating them from the battle. The enemy will wake up if he is hit. Second level is required for maximizing the effect and increasing the chance for success.

Confusion

Ability with area of effect that causes confusion among enemy forces. Enemy that is affected by this curse is unable to think rationally and he is usually attacking the closest person available, including his allies. Level three is needed for maximizing the effect and increasing the chance for success.

Charm

Ability with area of effect that, after successfully affecting the enemies, will cause them to join your side and temporary fight against your enemies. Level two needed for maximizing the effect.

Transmuter

Haste

This ability increases the speed of actions of selected ally. Perfect synergy for the rogue. Level three needed for maximizing the effect.

Stoneskin

This ability increases the defense against piercing and slashing damage for a limited time. Level three needed for maximizing the effect.

Summoner

Conjure Animal

Summons an animal avatar to the living world. The avatar is fighting for you and your party. Level three is needed for maximizing the effect.

Hold Monster

A curse that creates paralyze on selected area. Enemies that are affected become helpless for 60 seconds, giving you a great advantage on the battlefield.

Game style

Wizard's game style is very similar to the one used when playing as cleric. The wizard should remain at safe distance from the center of the battle and he should cause chaos among enemy forces. You shouldn't also forget about offensive skills, which wizard has plenty of. The most important and the strongest ability is the Meteor Swarm. Since this ability reloads for a very long time, use it only against bosses. In synergy with rogue and his Endanger skill, after a success this skill deals similar number of damage as rogue's Deathstrike. Remember to avoid aiming this skill at your allies, as combined with damage dealt by enemies it could quickly kill them. Summoning the animals that are fighting on your side should be also considered as damage dealing. These animals, especially the bear, though not able to deal much damage, have great resistance. What's important, they can focus some enemy damage during battle on them.

In addition to damage dealing, the wizard specializes in controlling the center of the battle. The wizard decides who should be removed from the battle for a specific amount of time, who should be forced to join your side and who should be put to sleep. By casting such curses, you must watch out for friendly fire. Very frequently, the center of the battle will be focused on your warrior who can be also affected by the curse. Because of that, it is important to miss your allies when casting spells with area of effect.

During the battle, use buffs as well. Leave the Stoneskin skill for some urgent enemies, when your warrior will lose large numbers of health points or when the enemy will attack the cleric. This will help you contain the situation. Cast the Haste skill mostly on the rogue. The synergy between the two of you will be so strong that, combined with constant attacks from hiding, you will eliminate the enemies in few seconds.

Equipment

As for wizard's equipment, give him robes and a staff. It is definitely the best possible combination available for this class. Robes of Archmagi is one of the best robes, it can be collected from the body of a killed Lord of Illithids. However, it is so late in the game, that first you should find something else for yourself. Since the armor can be used by you during the whole game, try to buy it once and for good. The rest of the equipment should have bonuses related to intelligence and reducing the reload time of your skills.

As for the jewelry, focus on intelligence and reducing the reload time of skills.

As for the weapon, you can obtain the legendary staff - Staff of Explosions - by collecting three pieces and forging them at the blacksmith. If you don't have enough money, Necromancy Staff which can be obtained by killing Cyrana will be good as well.

Fighter is the character that is controlling the battle zone. All damage coming from the enemies focuses on him, so it is important that this will be your most resistant character. When gaining new levels, assign points to constitution and strength. The fighter shouldn't be made purely for offensive, but more as a backup character. You don't need to use a shield for him as in case of paladin, he will work better with a two-handed sword or a halberd. It's not a typical tank class. Below you will find few principles which you should consider when creating a fighter character:

Fighter is the strongest link of your team - You are the most resistant member of your party. It means that your task is to control the battlefield and making sure that no enemy will pass through you. For that purpose, you must use the territory that surrounds you. Almost always there's a narrow passage near the battlefield. Retreat there with your party and stand in the passage. You will be sure that no one will get past you.

You become more resistant only after you wear proper items - It is important to wear equipment that will help you in your task. Look for heavy armors that have constitution and strength stars and that offer bonuses to damage reduction and elemental resistance. The better protection you have, the greater the synergy between you and the cleric. You can also add some damage reflection. Since you will be in the center of the battle and most of the damage will focus on you, it is wise to think about this bonus.

As the center of the battle, use buffs - Your next job is using the buffs for the party and negative effects against the enemies. Whenever you cast a battle cry, the synergy between you and the rogue becomes huge - use it.

Character development

Focus on buying strength and constitution statistics when gaining new levels. This will not only help you with damage and will add more health points to you, but will also increase the overall resistance to damage. Below you will find few useful talents that create synergy with other members of the party:

Battle Master

Second Wind

Second Wind is a skill that increases the maximum damage and heals you with a specific number of points. Level four is required for maximizing the effect.

Commander Shout

A cry that strengthens your whole party. The maximum damage of the party increases. Level fourth required for maximizing the effect.

Rally

A cry which increases the maximum damage of the whole party. Level three required for maximizing the effect.

Reign of Terror

A cry which disorients the enemy forces. It also reduces their defense level, making them more vulnerable to damage. Second level required for maximizing the effect.

Champion

Improved Critical

A passive ability that increases the chance for dealing critical damage. Level two is required for maximizing the effect.

Sure Strike

An ability that never misses and deals large number of piercing damage. Creates perfect synergy between you and the rogue. Level four is required for maximizing the effect.

Forceful Blows

Passive ability that increases the chance for throwing the enemy off balance. Level four is required for maximizing the effect.

Game style

When playing as the fighter, you are responsible for the survival of the whole party (unless you have a paladin in your team instead of a wizard/rogue). The fighter is responsible for focusing all enemies on himself and defending less armored allies. During the battle you will create synergy with the rogue who thanks to Rally and Commander Shout cries will deal even more damage. This synergy will work in both directions. If the rogue will use the Endanger skill, he will reduce enemy resistance to slashing damage. When that happens, Sure Strike skill becomes useful. During the game, you can select whether you want to fight with two weapons, a large sword, halberd or other tools. There are absolutely no requirements related to weapons. The only thing you must remember is a correct pick of skills. Don't assign points to Great Weapons tree if you are fighting with two weapons and vice versa. If you are fighting with two-handed weapon, invest in the Great Weapon tree, where you will find great skills such as Charge! that allows you to quickly change your location and jump towards the enemy before he finds out what happened. Such action will guarantee that you will become the first target of enemy attacks, which is what you want. You can also help your cleric by buying the Victorious Surge ability that will allow you to heal yourself in dire situations.

During the battle, use your surroundings for your advantage. Lure enemies to a small passage and stand there, blocking the way to the rest of your party.

Equipment

The fighter is a class that should be heavily armored. Since all the received damage should be focused on him, he should have very high damage resistance. When selecting equipment for this character, select heavy plate armors with resistance to various damage types. You can also select one or two items that will reduce the time of skill reloading. As for the weapon, there is no specific type that suits the warrior best. It can be a two-handed weapon, it can be two weapons or a shield. Whatever choice you make, the fighter will be good in it, as he has great variety of skills.

As for the jewelry, Devil's Favor necklace will be a great choice. You can obtain it when searching through the house during the Heart's of Stone quest related to Bryn. The other jewelry should contain bonus for strength or constitution and skill reload time reduction. The armor should be heavy or medium, with large base statistics and resistances to damage.

Paladin, similarly to the fighter, is the strongest link of your team. His abilities create perfect synergy with the cleric. There's a bond between them based on healing abilities, dealing damage of the same type and, due to the skills that reduce Radiant damage resistance, both classes deal increased damage. If you have a paladin, you don't need to build your cleric as a typical healer. However, it is not recommended to build your paladin for dealing the maximum damage. The rest of the party must also use your offensive-controlling skills. Below you will find few rules of playing as paladin. Similarly to rogues, these rules aren't binding. You can change your paladin into a damage dealer any time you want.

Paladin is a typical tank - When playing as paladin, you must remember that you are focusing the damage of all opponents on yourself. You must have a shield which will block the incoming attacks and will work better than a typical fighter in this job. However, when being the tank, you must sacrifice the perfect job of a warrior which is controlling the battlefield.

Paladin can take care of himself without the help of a cleric - A well build and equipped paladin, thanks to his skills that restores lost health points, can survive the battle even without the help of a cleric. Of course, it's not as effective as in case of a cleric, but when combined with him you can consider changing the role of the cleric and build him into a damage dealing character that will backup your party in dire situations. However, in that case the whole build described previously must be changed drastically.

Only holy damage matters when it comes to paladin - Try to use items which increase the holy damage. The synergy between you and the cleric who uses the same damage type will be high.

Character development

When developing the paladin, remember that his base statistics are strength and charisma. Below you will find example skills which create synergy with the cleric and with the rogue. In this build, the paladin is mostly a tank and not a warrior.

Life

Bless

A blessing that increases the chance for your allies to obtain spell resistance. Second level is required for maximizing the effect.

Aid

A blessing which increases the defense of all allies. This effect also adds a small bonus to maximum damage. Third level is required for maximizing the effect.

Beacon of Hope

Marks the ally to become the central point of the effect. Each ally that is nearby will receive a bonus to regained health points. Fourth level is required for maximizing the effect.

Restoration

Removes any negative effects from the ally. Second level is required for maximizing the effect.

Revivify

Revives a fallen monster. The creature will fight for you and your party. Third level is required for maximizing the effect.

War

Divine Smite

This ability deals holy damage. Fourth level is required for maximizing the effect.

Arcing Smite

Releases a beam of holy energy which jumps from one enemy to another, dealing massive holy damage. Level four is required for maximizing the effect.

Game style

You should play as paladin in two different ways. One of them is typical taking great numbers of damage and healing yourself, second is dealing damage and healing. No matter the preference, your game style is based on standing in the center of the battle and focusing the attention of the enemies on you. Your direct companion in the party is the cleric with whom you create a synergy of damage and skills. Thanks to that you are almost invincible as not only are you the strongest link in the party, but, in difference to the fighter, you can heal yourself without the help of the cleric as well. During the battles, position yourself in narrow passages and focus the incoming damage of all enemies on you. Due to the fact that you have the Life skill tree, you can cleanse and heal other wounded allies, which give even more advantage to the rogue decimating enemy forces. Together with the cleric you can heal the weakly armored ally during boss fights, it is a great help for the rogue. Since the paladin has no effects that strengthens the party or control the battlefield in similar manner to the fighter, you must decide whether you prefer to be invincible or to quickly travel the game world and end the battles much faster.

Equipment

When playing as the paladin, have his base abilities in mind. Because of them, it is best to equip him in heavy armor and a shield. Of course, you cannot exclude two-handed weapons as paladin has abilities related to that weapon type. As for the weapon, Sunblade is a perfect choice, it has a base statistic boost for holy damage.

As for the jewelry, paladin should focus on strength and charisma statistics. You can also think about a reduction to the skill reload time.

Paladin's armors should be heavy. He should have high defense and bonus statistics to resistance from various damage type and elements. As for the shield, Shield of Helm which can be obtained in the Gilded Eye Chapterhouse is a perfect choice.

Ranger is a class typical for a forest elf, which uses bow and is strengthened by the goods of the forest. This class, similarly to the rogue, is based on dealing damage. However, this time not dealing damage from close, but from far away. Ranger class can be switched with a wizard if you have a fighter controlling the battlefield. Together with the rogue, ranger can eliminate the enemies much faster by the cost of eliminating them from the battle for a limited amount of time. Below you will find few rules important when creating a ranger character:

Ranger isn't a melee fighter - Despite the fact that ranger has abilities useful in melee combat, he is much more effective when fighting from a distance. Use this aspect to create a character that is not vulnerable to enemy damage.

Cunning instead of strength - The archer is a good fighter because he has large number of dexterity points. When developing the character, try maximizing this bonus to increase the number of damage dealt.

Watch out for friendly fire - When standing in straight line to your ally, you can be sure that you will hit him instead of the enemy. Because of that, it is important to position yourself properly during the battle. You will feel most comfortable when positioned in an angle towards the center of the battle.

Character development

Ranger is most comfortable when using ranged weapons, mostly bows. Have that in mind when developing the character. Most of all, spend points on increasing the dexterity statistic. This will help you maximize the damage dealt with ranged weapons. Below you will find an example set of ranger skills that utilizes this idea.

Hunter

Favored Enemy

Passive skill that increases the damage dealt. Level four is required for maximizing the effect.

Combat Focus

Passive skill that increases the attack action during each round. Level two is required for maximizing the effect.

Hide In Plain Sight

You hide from the enemies. Your next attack will have increased chance for dealing critical damage. Level four is required for maximizing the effect.

Warden

Swift Quiver

Greatly increases character's action. Level four is required for maximizing the effect.

Lightning Arrow

An ability that deals lightning damage. Level four is required for maximizing the effect.

Splinter Armor

This ability deals damage and reduces the defense of enemies. Level four is required for maximizing the effect.

Archery

Arrow of Slaying

An ability that deals large number of damage. Level four is required for maximizing the effect.

Hunter's Mark

An ability that marks the enemy. Once marked, the enemy receives increased damage. Level three is required for maximizing the effect.

Split Shot

An ability that deals large number of damage. Level four is required for maximizing the effect.

Game style

As the ranger, you should position yourself in the corner of the center of the battle, away from the warrior, who also cannot be on the path of your arrows. At the same time, you should be near the cleric. Start the battle by hiding. Thanks to that, the next shot will have much greater chance for dealing critical damage. When fighting elite enemies and bosses, start by marking them with Hunter's Mark skill, this will increase the number of damage your party will deal. During the battle, keep using the hiding ability and Swift Quiver. This will allow you to attack much faster than without this ability.

Equipment

As the ranger, use light armors that have bonuses to dexterity. Since you're not a melee fighter, you can ignore the defense. As for the weapon, the Bow of Hungering is a perfect choice. It can be obtained relatively early in the game, in the Maferil's Lyceum. At the end of the game you will be able to obtain even better bow, but you would be using it for so short time that it is not profitable to craft it.

As for the armor, select light equipment with dexterity and charisma. Drakhar's boots are a good choice, just as any other boots that increase the movement speed. Jewelry should provide bonus to dexterity, increasing the damage you deal.

Game master

Dungeon Master is an additional mode in the game. This system allows you to become a game master similar to ones in board games. You can use a set of tools that allow you to create new quests, monsters and even whole locations and dungeons which then will be traveled through by other players. What's worth mentioning is that every, even slightest detail of the world you create can be modified as you want. At first you must start by picking a proper surrounding (city, dungeon etc). The location created as you wanted can then be placed on the world map to which other players will gain access. When creating the locations you can choose whether the place should be visible since the start or only when exploring.

After selecting the create module option, the game will show you various options of creating it. In this window you can check the previously created modules, download modules of other game masters or check the modules you downloaded previously. Select the New DM Module option in order to create a new module. After selecting this option, the game will move you to the starting location of the adventurers, the Adventurer's Camp. Now you can modify this location or ignore it completely and create your own instead. When activating the editor for the first time (Adventurer's Camp location), it is wise to learn about how it works and what are the keyboard controls. It is very clear and divided into special windows. By default you will find here a window that allows you to add items. It has been divided into traps, objects and weather. Since it is the default starting location for adventurers, the number of options is limited (more of them can be found when creating your own location).

Creating your own locations on the world map

In order to create your own location, pick Locations from the menu. You will see a map of the world to which you can add new dungeons, cities, forests and other places (by selecting the new location option). All locations which can be created work similar to the example dungeon described below. Other options allow you to create quests, characters and creature sets. The things you create here can be freely modified, copied and moved among the modules you created. It means that you don't have to create the same character few times if you want to use it in various locations. A quest or character you created once will be saved and become available for all locations. Locations are divided into two main groups: Create Area and Create Dungeon. Area is a location created on the surface, such as cities, camps, forests. Dungeon is a location underground, such as catacombs, caves or prisons. After selecting your location, you can freely modify its location on the world map with the drag and drop interface. The world itself is divided into two parts as well - the Faerun and the Underdark.

Selecting the way the location you create will look

After creating your own location (in this case, a dungeon) a window in which you can edit it will appear. You can create locations by clicking on the map and selecting Dungeon option. The first tab will allow you to change general preferences of the whole location. Here you can change its name (Bandit Caves by default) and description. Of course, you can leave the description as it is or change it completely, creating your own story of the place you are creating. The next option allows you to create the starting location for the adventurers. If you want to do it, you must select the Set as Starting Location option. Creating a starting location filled with enemy units is a bad idea since here you should place a camp where adventurers can replenish their supplies and rest. The next matter is the decision whether the location you create should be available on the map for the adventurers. If not, the location will be hidden and the only way to gain access to it is completing the quest assigned to it.

The second tab allows you to change the look and the type of the dungeon, enemy types, size and difficulty. Look and type of the dungeon can be changed with the Lightning and Atmosphere, Tile Set and floor number options. Lightning and Atmosphere allows you to manipulate the light and general atmosphere of the place you are creating. When creating a location, you can freely modify this factor and see how it impacts your level. Whether you will create a dark or light place depends only on you. Tile Sets are created previously by the developers texture packs that can impact the look of the place. You can select sewers, catacombs, caves etc. Add Floor allows you to add floors to your dungeons. By default the place you create has only one floor (of course, you can freely change its size, which has great impact on the time needed to complete it). After adding another floor you will be able to modify it similarly to the default floor. Further options allow you to change the size of the dungeons, its complexity and difficulty. The size determines the number of rooms between the entrance and the exit. The larger the dungeon, the more time it will take to complete it and the more enemies can be met while exploring it. The complexity determines the number of rooms-branches in the dungeon. When hunting in a complex dungeon, the player must remember which rooms he visited. This makes the difficulty higher. The option to add random generated enemies is marked as Creature Set 1/2. Here you can choose what sort of monsters the adventurers will face. The last option while in the main dungeon editing options is adding a boss at the end of the location. This option is a separate way of adding an elite monster without the need of adding a quest (defeat boss).

Creating quests

The third and final step when creating locations is assigning quests to them. There are few templates to choose from: Collect, defeat boss and defeat enemy. After selecting a quest related to defeating a boss, it is important to unmark the option in the dungeon edition menu that adds a boss to the last room no matter whether a quest is assigned to that dungeon or not. In each tab related to quests you can modify the number of items available to collect (during a Collect quest), their type and reward for completing the task. The last option (Complete the Module?) is responsible for showing a screen when an adventurer have fully completed the module you created. This information will be useful for players who are not sure whether there is something more in the dungeon to find. Defeat boss quest type allows you to set few options. First one is obviously the quest name which can be modified as you want. Assign Quest allows you to assign the mission to a specific location. Below you will find the Boss Type option which allows you to select the boss that you want to place in the dungeon. You can pick a predesigned template created by the game developers or create your own monster. Information about creating your own characters can be found in the next subchapter. The last option is reward for completing the quest. Here you will not have many options, you must select a template provided by the authors of the game. If you mark the Reward Gold? option, after completing the quest all adventurers will also receive gold.

IMPORTANT! Each quest must be assigned to a location. If you create a quest (for example, boss defeat), you must open the location edit window and assign the quest in the Quests tab. If you won't do it, the quest will not appear in any of the previously created locations.

IMPORTANT 2! No quest can be started without using the give command. You assign this command to a NPC or an item. In order to make it possible for adventurers to complete such quest, select the place where they will receive it. It can be, for example, the first room of the dungeon. After walking to such room, place any item on the ground (or a NPC) and, by marking the object, select the Quests option. From the window that will appear pick the quest that you want to assign. For it to be clear and intuitive, always change the quest name to one of your own design.

Editing a location

After generating a location you have created, you will be able to edit its specific elements in real time. On the left side you will find a window in which there are interior decorations, enemy list, traps etc. As mentioned in the introduction chapter, you can also modify the lightning and atmosphere of the place. Objects are added with the drag and drop method. Each object you choose can be freely turned and placed. The only restriction is the lack of the possibility to place elite enemies in the first room of the dungeon. The objects are divided into following categories:

Animals - In this tab you will find animals such as horses, pigs or chickens.
Barriers - In this tab you will find obstacles that can be placed on the way of adventurers. By using them you can, for example, create a labyrinth.
Blood - Here you will find various blood stains which can be placed on the ground. You can use it to create, for example, a river of blood flowing during demonic rituals.
Cave - In this tab you will find cave elements. For example, you will find here stalactites, mushrooms or glowing rocks which will add some atmosphere to the location.
Seating - Here you will find interior decorations on which one can sit.
City - Elements of a larger city, such as lamps, tents or wells. The tab has only a cosmetic function.
Containers - Decoration elements in which adventurers might find interesting items or gold.
Death - In this tab you will find torture machines, altars etc.
Decorations - In this tab you will find interior decorations, such as carpets, statues etc.
Forest - In this tab you will find forest decorations, such as campfires, boughs etc.
Furniture - In this tab you will find interior decorations such as various furniture.
Lightning - In this tab you will find various sources of light. They will allow you to create a unique atmosphere of the location.
Lost mines - In this tab you will find mine equipment.
Divine - This tab focuses on gods and here you will find their statues.
Shop - Shop elements, such as shelves and booths.
Tables - Decoration elements. Here you will also find alchemy tables.
Treasure - In this tab you will find treasures. You will find here chests, containers etc.

All objects can be secured with a trap. Placing a trap in a treasure chest is a great example. When placing traps you can modify difficulty of its disarming or noticing. Treasures can be also locked and you can set the difficulty of opening them.

Another thing that you will notice in the locations is dungeon master's totems. They have a form of glowing balls which you could select at the start of the module creation. Totems are located in each room and they allow you to manipulate the enemies that are inside. After opening the change window you will have an opportunity to change the difficulty level and type of a group of enemies.

Creating your own enemies

In addition to objects, you can also add enemies to your location. Enemies are selected from the previously created creature sets. If you want to add non-standard enemy or a NPC, you must create it first. Creating your own characters is done with the Characters tab, where you must select the new Character option. Creating characters is done similarly to creating the main character of the game (more information can be found in the character creation chapter). Most of all, you must select the race of the monster. Below you will find a complete list of races:

Mercenaries
Illithids
Goblins
Spiders
Duergar
Underdark Denizens
Drow
Demon Cultists
Sewer Creatures
Gilded Eye
Beasts
Dead Rats
Trolls
Ogres and Oni
Undead

Basically, after selecting the race, you have created the character. Now you can freely change its look, clothes, statistics or abilities. In order to modify the look, open the Appearance tab. There you can freely change the color of clothes or skin. Stats tab allows you to change character stats. You can freely (of course, only with the available points) modify the statistics of the character you create. In this tab you will also find a very important thing - the level of the character, or, more specifically, the difference between the character and the adventurer. If you set it on -5, then the level will be lower by 5. In the Abilities tab you can freely add or remove the abilities which the monster will use when fighting adventurers. In the Summary tab you will finalize the character creation. Here you can name the creature, set its behavior (whether it is supposed to be aggressive and attack the player or should it remain neutral). After creating and naming the character, you can return to the location view and place the creature anywhere you want.

Once you finish creating your own module, from the selection window you can share it with other players. To do it, use the Share button.

Speak with Bryn in the encampment - Hearts of Stone - Bryns quest - Companions quests - Sword Coast Legends - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Speak with Bryn in the encampment. You will be told, that she needs help with recovering her magical stone. In order to do that, you must first go to the Market District and speak with the merchant named Polek, standing near the entrance to the blacksmith. Ask him about the whereabouts of the said stone. During the conversation you will learn, that the stone might be hidden in a warehouse, in Luskan. To get there, head outside the city via the nearest exit and set your destination to the Luskan Warehouse. After arriving, speak with Pettlin. She will tell you, that you need to pay 400 gold in order to get inside the warehouse. Make the payment and start searching through the building. Inside you will find various interesting items, as well as a lot of gold. Additionally, there are chests located in the central section of the warehouse which can be looted. If your wisdom (WIS) stat is high enough, you will be able to extract quite a sum of gold from them.

After thoroughly searching through the building, you will learn that the stone you are looking for is not here. Head towards the exit, where a group of bandits will be waiting for you. Eliminate them and approach Pettlin (the guard that took gold for the passage from you) and demand the gold back. This way not only you will acquire a lot of interesting items and a nice sum of gold from the warehouse, you will be given all the gold that you paid for entering the building back.

Another step on your task to recover the stone will be the secret mercenary camp. Go to the Luskan's slums and search the residence near Miranda's shop. After using the Search ability a hidden trapdoor will appear, leading you to the said hideout. Go through the subsequent rooms and corridors, until you reach Keyros, the leader of the mercenaries. After eliminating him, search his body for a delivery note, which will tell you where the stone is hidden.

Go to the Market District and enter the apartment in the south-eastern section. There you will stumble upon an unconscious Thesian. After trying to talk with him, search the apartment.

During your stay at the encampment, speak with Hommet - Hommet Hears a Harpell - Hommets quest - Companions quests - Sword Coast Legends - Game Guide and Walkthrough

During your stay at the encampment, speak with Hommet. From the conversation you will learn, that he has received a strange message, which, according to him, is worth checking. In order to do so, go to the library in the Market District (it can be found near the blacksmith, Book Cache). In the library there will be an NPC called Dagatha. After talking with the woman, you will learn that there's a book of Ashen Priest, hidden in certain catacombs and your task is to retrieve the item. Head outside the city via the nearest exit and set your destination to the Tomb of the Ashen Priest.

The catacombs are filled with numerous traps, so you should tread carefully, with the Search ability activated at all times. In order to get to the Tomb of the Ashen Priest, you must collect three torn pages from his book, which contain verses required to open the secret doors. After collecting all the pages head towards the stone altar and ask Hommet to chant the proper password combination. After a short conversation with the Ashen Priest, head towards his tomb. Kill the skeletons along the way and enter the main hall, where the Ashen Priest will be waiting for your party.

Ashen Priest will try to recruit Hommet as his disciple. Do not let that to happen by selecting denying dialogue options during the conversation. As soon as Hommet comes to the conclusion that the whole ordeal is not worth it, the encounter with the demon will begin. Ashen Priest isn't the toughest enemy in the game, but remember about his immunity to necrotic damage and complete immunity to fire. After the combat ends, pick up the Staff of Eternal Torment from the body of the dead priest and go back to Dagatha in the Market District. During the conversation with the woman you will learn, that Hommet belongs to the Harpell family, and Dagatha is his relative. Afterwards, the quest will end.

Reward: 2000 experience points.

During your stay at the encampment, speak with Lorethar - Pulled Back In - Larethars quest - Companions quests - Sword Coast Legends - Game Guide and Walkthrough

During your stay at the encampment, speak with Lorethar. From the conversation you will learn, that he owes some money to a thud and he will ask you for help. Head to the Cutlass inn in the Market District ad speak with Thoradin sitting by the bar. You will be told, that Lorethar's debt can be repaid if you help him recover a missing cargo. After the conversation ends, set your destination to the slums. After arriving, meet with Thoradin and continue your journey with a new companion. Your task is to track a bandit who attacked Thoradin. In order to do so, go to the mark placed near the Miranda's shop and use the Search ability to look for blood marks.

Follow the marks until you reach a bleeding mercenary (Elite Guard). After killing the man, search the nearby chest to find Thoradin's necklace. Afterwards, enter the mercenaries' hideout (Ruined Dragonblood Fort). Tread carefully while there, as there are numerous traps scattered around the area - remember to use the Search ability to detect them.

Move along the corridors until you reach a bigger room. Inside you will stumble upon several mercenaries, who can cause some serious trouble. First of all, use your sleep, paralysis and other crowd control effects - this way you will be able to eliminate at least a couple of them from the fight.

After eliminating the enemies, go to the adjacent room, where you will find a chest, containing a key required to get to the lower floor of the fortress (Downstairs Dragonblood Key). The lower level of the fortress is the place in which you will have to fight the leader of the mercenaries. This encounter is a lot easier than the previous one, so you should have no trouble dealing with the bandit. Collect the cloak (Dragonbloods Cloak of Office) from the body of the fallen captain. Afterwards, go to the adjacent room, where the Thoradin's stolen shipment can be found. Regardless of your choices in the upcoming conversation, the quest will be finished.

Reward: 1750 experience points.

While in the encampment, talk to Illydia - Sin of the Past - Illydias quest - Companions quests - Sword Coast Legends - Game Guide and Walkthrough

While in the encampment, talk to Illydia. After a short conversation, go to Dalanir and ask him about Lady Zinnsianna. Dalanir only has some information on that and, which is the most important thing, you learn the whereabouts of that character. Go, therefore, to the nearest encampment exit and set your destination to Shrine at Und'ok. After you get there, follow corridors of the cave to find Lady Zinsianna. After a short conversation with her, you learn that Cerric - Illydia's childhood friend is being controlled by Zinsianna. This is why, during the battle, you should focus all of your forces on Lady Zinnsianna. This way, Cerric will remain alive. Before you escort Cerrica to the exit, loot the chest, where you find a legendary one-handed sword. After the escorting mission, Cerric thanks you for your help and the quest ends.

For completing the quest, you will be rewarded with 2000 experience points.

Note! This quest becomes available AFTER you complete the Lair of Rhylfang/Into Eternal Night main quest.

While in the encampment, approach Dalanir and talk to him - Family Ties - Dalanirs quest - Companions quests - Sword Coast Legends - Game Guide and Walkthrough

While in the encampment, approach Dalanir and talk to him. Your quest will be to find Valagh to obtain specific information. This is why, you need to go to Darklake District, to the inn. From Valgh, you learn the exact whereabouts of Dalanir's sister. Go to the nearest city exit and set your destination to Belwar Mine. Follow the corridors of the cave, and you will soon reach the first riddle which you need to solve to open the next door. For this, you need to collect two, out of three, required crystals. The green one is in the chest in the Western part of the cave (M13,5) and the turquoise one is in the Southern part of the cave (M13,3).

With both crystals on you, approach the circle in front of the door (M13,7) and arrange them in the way shown in the above screenshot - Family Ties - Dalanirs quest - Companions quests - Sword Coast Legends - Game Guide and Walkthrough

With both crystals on you, approach the circle in front of the door (M13,7) and arrange them in the way shown in the above screenshot. The violet one is, by default, already set in its place. Leave one spot free, in the left, and put the turquoise one in the spot next to it. The next slot is for the green crystal. There should be no gaps between the two crystals, without any gaps between the turquoise one and the free one on the left. This way, you open secret door to Bregan D'arthe. In the corridors up ahead, there are chests. Inside one of them (M13,8), there is the symbol required for the next riddle(Symbol of House Mizzrym). As soon as you approach the altar (M13,9), place the symbol onto it and the next door opens. At the end of the path, use the lever to open the next door. While killing monsters, you learn that all of this was just a trap.

Note! That this walkthrough leads you into the trap is done on purpose, because in the room with the monsters, there is another dusty volume (M13,10) that you need for the Alteration Observation side quest.

After you defeat monsters and collect the tome, use the lever to get back to the altar. After you get to the altar, collect all of the symbols on it and on the three pillars (Remove the symbol) to unlock secret passage to the next temple. After you make it into the next part of the cave, first talk to Jeggred and enter the room and talk to Dalanir's sister - Talisstra.

There are several endings to this quest and they are different from each other, in terms of the reward and the presented situation.

If you kill Talisstra, go to the mysterious stranger to claim your reward (M4,Mysterious Stranger), who will present you with a dagger - The Crescent Fang.

If you spare Talisstra's life, you need to lift the curse from her, by finding the priest that can do this. The first one is Corellon Larethian of Luskan (Market District), whom you can find in the house to the West of the city. If you choose him, Dalanir receives +2 to constitution (CON) and +2 to intelligence (INT). You need to pay the priest 8000 GP for that. Another priest is Priest of Lollth, whom you can find in Darklake District. His remuneration is 15000 GP, but this way, Dalanir receives +1 to dexterity (DEX), +2 to intelligence (INT) and -1 to constitution (CON).

For completing the quest, you will be rewarded with 3000 experience points.

While in the camp, approach, the shop run by Izhkin and talk to him - Golgamanns Deal - Izhkins quest - Companions quests - Sword Coast Legends - Game Guide and Walkthrough

While in the camp, approach, the shop run by Izhkin and talk to him. This way you learn that you need to find a goblin who owes Izhkinowi money. For this, go to the Slum in Luskan to find someone with information on that. The first person that might know something is the villager standing in the South-Eastern part of the slum. After you talk to him, you find out that you need to talk to Ezra. You find Ezra to the North of the villager that you have just talked to. In return for his help, Ezra wants you to find a chalice. For this, go to the catacombs where you have found the crystal for the legendary staff. Next to the slot for the crystal, you find a sarcophagus with a secret passage, which you can open using Ezra's key. In the Northern part of the second level of the catacombs, you find Toka's remains with the chalice on it (Toka's Chalice). Take the chalice back to Ezra and in return, he tells you the whereabouts of Velop. To get there, exit the city and set your marker to Darklake District. Velop is in one of the tenements in the eastern part of the city. The conversation results in a fight. It is not too difficult, therefore you should be able to deal with it quickly. After the fight, collect items from the corpse, return to the camp and talk to Golgamann.

Reward for completing the quest: 3500 experience points.

Talk with your allies after you regain control of your character - Survive - Main quest - A Night on the Road - Prologue - Sword Coast Legends - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Talk with your allies after you regain control of your character. During the conversation you will learn that the guild was attacked and that you must meet with your allies below. The quest is a prologue that shows you the basics of the game mechanics. Here you will learn controls and basics of combat. Once you learn how to move, go to the right side of the location. In the last room you will find a chest with all items you need inside. Before going any further, examine the room in which you currently are. Under the window you will find a second chest with a health regenerating potion inside. Once you're done with exploring, open the inventory and put the items you collected on. The items will differ depending on the class you have. Once you're ready, leave the room and go to the opposite side of the location. You will face two enemies on your way. It's time to learn the basics of combat. Enemies won't be hard to defeat. Once you're done, go down to the underground.

Once you get to the lower floor, walk towards Belamy and talk to him - Survive - Main quest - A Night on the Road - Prologue - Sword Coast Legends - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Once you get to the lower floor, walk towards Belamy and talk to him. After a short conversation you will be attacked by enemies. Now you will learn how to use the tactic pause. During such pause you can give orders to your companions. Once you eliminate enemy units, walk towards the main entrance. Once the entrance is buried, go to the other side of the location. Under the wall you will find a chest with magic skull. If you can't open the lock, use Ned character. Place the skull on the pedestal in the neighboring room, this will allow you to open the magic passage to the cave. While exploring the cave, use the "search" ability. It will help you find hidden objects, such as chests, passages and traps. Keep going through the cave and eliminate all opponents until you reach a demon.

The High Road is the first location available after the prologue. It contains many quests and jobs. Here you will gather your whole party for the first time in order to solve the mystery of mercenaries attacking the caravan. The location has two different entrances to the underground where you can complete side quests. First cave is the Bone-Strewn Burrow (quests A Fetching Fungus and Wagon Down).

You will find many traps in the dungeon. It is easy to disarm them with the search ability. As for the opponents, be especially careful when fighting the Mercenaries Captain, the leader of goblins Trax and Sir Banagar the knight. The location contains few hidden secret passages. You can find them with the search ability. Behind each such secret passage you will find a chest with useful equipment. On the second level of the caves you will find a potential party member. Hommet is standing at the entrance to the third cave level. On the second level of the caves (M2,6) you will find a secret passage that leads to Martumal (needed for completing the Wayward Trader quest). In order to open the passage, you must position three party members at the mechanisms next to the entrance. Use the "stop" command so that they remain at the assigned positions.

The first quest that you must complete is Waking Up - Waking Up - Main quest - The High Road M1 - Sword Coast Legends - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The first quest that you must complete is Waking Up. Walk towards Jarhild and talk to him. Use the nearby chest after the conversation. Inside you will find equipment that will be useful for your character. Once you put proper clothes on, go along the path until you find Belamy who is standing at the blocked bridge. You will be attacked by mercenaries during the conversation with him. Once you win the battle, return to the camp together. While searching for a new path you will be attacked by enemies again, but this time other allies will help you. After winning the battle you will meet your new allies, Larethar and Illydia. For completing the quest you will receive 210 experience points.

During the second quest, After Them, you will explore the Mercenaries Cave - After Them! - Main quest - The High Road M1 - Sword Coast Legends - Game Guide and Walkthrough

During the second quest, "After Them", you will explore the Mercenaries' Cave. To get there, walk through the bridge and turn right. Watch out for traps inside the caves. It is a good idea to keep using the Search ability. Not only will it help you in finding items and traps, but hidden passages as well. Your first objective is to find the leader of the mercenaries. From him you will also obtain the Copper Key which will allow you to get deeper into the caves. When traveling through the corridors, you will meet Hommet (you will find him at the end of the first level of the caves). If you want, during the conversation you can make him join your party. Hommet is a wizard which, if you want, can replace other party member. It is important to leave the cleric (Ilydia) in your team because that character will support you with healing abilities. However, if your character has healing skills as well, you can switch the cleric to Hommet.

In the second level of the cave you will meet the Mercenary Thief - After Them! - Main quest - The High Road M1 - Sword Coast Legends - Game Guide and Walkthrough

In the second level of the cave you will meet the Mercenary Thief. You can agree to his proposition (share the loot) or kill him and take all the loot. The second option is much more profitable due to the amount of gold stolen by the thief. The thief will also have a staff stolen from the goblin leader. After taking it, a new dialogue option will appear during the conversation with Trax.

Once you reach the last, third cave level, you will have to face Banagar - After Them! - Main quest - The High Road M1 - Sword Coast Legends - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Once you reach the last, third cave level, you will have to face Banagar. During the battle, most of all you should avoid any direct contact with Sir Banagar the knight. He is strong enough to knock down all your allies with a single ability. Try to keep your healer away from the heart of the battle, send the best equipped warrior to direct confrontation. Start with killing the backup of the boss, then focus on fighting Banagar. Once you reduce enough of his health points, a conversation will start. An option to capture and interrogate him will appear, but your ally won't be happy about that and will protest. The second option will be leaving him alive (none of your allies will agree on that). The last option, and the only one that all your allies will agree on, will be killing the knight. Once you kill him, look around through the cave. You will have to find evidence. In addition to the evidence, you will also find few useful items. Once you're ready, leave the cave and use the Goblin contraption mechanism in order to unlock the path for the caravan. Once you do it, go back to Jarhild for your reward.

You must be careful in the sewers when fighting Wilgen. What's important, you don't need to fight him. If you have high STR attribute, you can intimidate him, and if you have high CHA, you can persuade him. The last option is bribing Wilgen (the price is 500-700 gold).

During the conversation you will witness as Bosun is giving an order to kill a woman with false documents. You can prevent it in two ways. Having high STR or CHA attributes is one of them.

If you don't want to pay, you will witness the woman being killed by a guard.

There are three ways for your hero to get into the city - Making an Entrance - Main quest - City Gates M3 - Sword Coast Legends - Game Guide and Walkthrough

There are three ways for your hero to get into the city. One of them is intimidating the guard with your strength (STR), another is paying 50 pieces of gold for a free passage. If both options will fail, you must go to the Sewers. Entrance to the sewers is located in the northern part of the City Gates (M3, Sewers). Once you reach the destination, you will notice that the gate leading to the sewers is locked. The only way to open it is by using strength. If you don't have enough of it, you must complete a side quest in the Wolf Den (M3, Wolf Den).

The first such opponent will be Wilgen who can be found at the entrance to the sewers - Making an Entrance - Main quest - City Gates M3 - Sword Coast Legends - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The first such opponent will be Wilgen who can be found at the entrance to the sewers. During the conversation with him you will have two main options. First is persuasion/intimidation. If you have enough charisma or strength statistics, you will be able to pass by the bandit without having to fight him. If this option will fail, you can pay him 500 pieces of gold. If you will try to persuade or intimidate him and fail, the price will increase from 500 to 700 gold. Of course, instead of paying you can simply kill all who stand in your way. However, the battle would be one of the hardest ones so far.

On the picture above a perfect place to fight is shown - Making an Entrance - Main quest - City Gates M3 - Sword Coast Legends - Game Guide and Walkthrough

On the picture above a perfect place to fight is shown. Retreat with your companions to the small passage and place your toughest warrior in the door so that all the damage will be focused on him. If you have Illydia (or you're a cleric yourself), try to position the character behind the rest of your party. Eliminate the enemies one after another, focusing the damage of the whole party on a single opponent. Tactical pause will be useful option as well. Once the battle is over, collect what remain of your opponents and go forward. There is a great chance that half of your enemies will remain on their default positions (especially the archers), which will make it impossible for them to attack you and thus you will receive reduced damage.

You will also learn that a pack of rats (M4, Rat Pack) has the second part. Go to them, kill the leader of rats and take Rickel Sword Hilt from its body. The next step will be repairing the destroyed sword. In order to do it, go to Pimdal (M4, Pimdal) who can be found in one of the rooms in the sewers. He will tell you that instead of repairing the sword, he will give you another one that looks similarly (Rickal's sword parts will remain in your equipment. You can repair it at a blacksmith in Luskan once you get to the surface). After repairing Rickal's sword, go back to him and give the weapon to him (The quest with the sword was a separate Rat Race quest for completing which you will now receive 500 experience points). After walking through the gate you will be able to attack Rickal and other mercenaries or walk away in peace.

For reforging the key, you need to pay 300 GP. After the repair, return to the guild, climb to the first floor and follow the hall to the end of the corridor.

At that moment, it should be mentioned that there also is a blacksmith here (M5, blacksmith), who can craft arms for you, at any point. Unfortunately, the only element present in crafting ids collecting the weapon element. This means that there are no recipes, or other crafting ingredients. While exploring the map, always keep an eye out for items that seem to be useless )the icon that represents the weapon part often resembles a piece of junk). A good thing, on the other hand, is that such parts are stored in the Quest tab, so you do not need to worry that you sell them by mistake.

After you complete The Contact, the Into the Dead City appears In your journal automatically - Into the Dead City - Main quest - Market District/Slums M5 - Sword Coast Legends - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After you complete The Contact, the Into the Dead City appears In your journal automatically. After the conversation with Soronil the first thing that you need to do is go to the nearest city exit (to bring up the fast travel screen). The location that you need to travel to is the slums(M5,Slums). Your task is to find the way to cultist Maferil. Then, you will have to find the four items that you can use to get to the mage's hideout.

The items are: Black Candle, Crystal Jar, Grave Dust and Ogre Zombie Tooth. The first one, the Black Candle, is in the small cottage in the slums (M6, residence).

After you have collected all of them, find the catacombs (M6,Mausoleum W), which will take you to the hideout. After you get there (M6,5), talk to Hommet about the rite and hand him all of the required items. As soon as Hommet performs the rite, you will be trapped by Maferil.

There are two interactive pillars here (M6,6), which you can spin as much as you want. The correct combination opens the door and you will be able to walk deeper into the underground. To learn the correct combination, approach the statues shown in the screenshot and destroy them. Under the rubble, you can see the symbol, aligned with the pillar.

Walk through the successive rooms in the location and you will soon find a room, where there is another puzzle (M6,10). This puzzle is well known to all RPG players. It is the old, good combination from the algebraic equation that will open two doors for you, and the riches behind them. The first door opens when all of the orbs start glowing, and the second one at the moment at which the orbs go out. Since the game displays randomly lit orbs, it is impossible to describe the "correct" combination, where all of the orbs are lit. Another thing is that there also are orbs that are not lit. There is only one combination here (the fastest one) which is why you should try and perform the first combination first, and the second one afterwards).

If you are standing in front of all lit orbs (see the screenshot), you simply need to click all four orbs in the corners and the one in the center, to put all of them out. The order, in this case, does not matter. Of course, the order, in which you approach the puzzle also does not matter. If, instead of lighting the orbs, you accidentally put them out, do not panic. To light them all back, you need to employ the same technique as described above. As soon as all of the orbs go out, the door opens and you will be attacked by Ghouls. From the body of one of them, collect the Snapped Bow Half. Before you leave the underground, remember to take the treasure with you, from the room that you have just opened - here, you find the first one of the ten rubies that you need to complete the side quest Marked Rubies.

To do this, you need to press the button on them, in the appropriate order/ The order has been shown in the above screenshot. If you start pressing the statues that are not holding the magic symbol, you will be attacked by monsters. After you get to the last chamber, you will fight Maferil's spirit (M6,Maferil). The fight should not be too difficult, but remember to focus on the correct opponent, at the moment wt which uses cloning. When you focus your forces on the clones, right after you kill them Maferil summons more. Your indication of which Maferil is the real one is the amount of his health. Clones have much less health. After you win the battle, collect your reward and head for the exit - the portal with symbols next room.

Reward for completing the quest: 2800 experience and Maferil's book (read it to receive an additional skill point).

The second needs you to buy a guild's badge, which will allow you to cross the bridge without initiating the fight. The badge can be purchased from an NPC called Hindryx, an elf standing right next to the bridge (M8, Hyndrix). The price for the artifact is quite high, being 1000 gold, but with a high enough charisma (CHA) attribute you can get it for free.

You will get a huge amount of experience points, and you will be able to loot some interesting items, as well as quite a sum of gold from the bodies.

If you, however, give it some food (Feed the dog with some tender shortrib), the dog will be fighting at your side. The treat can be found on the first level of the Gilded Eye Chapterhouse (M9,4).

Note - the dog won't be accompanying you only during this mission. After completing the quest, it will go back to the camp with your companions and you will be able play with him whenever you are there, meaning that you will gain a permanent pet.

After freeing the animal, go to the adjacent room, where a next riddle awaits you. Your task is to set the pillars so that the symbols, visible on the wall behind them, are faced in your direction. After unlocking the passage, an encounter with the warden (M9, Warden) will await you here. At the beginning of the combat focus on the enemy dogs, and use your rogue character to eliminate the archers placed on the sides of the arena. The encounter is not that difficult, but remember to use potions and abilities that increase the damage output and defense of your team.

After the encounter ends, speak with Bryn. You've just acquired a new companion - Bryn. You can now summon the party customization window and let her join your party. When the conversation ends, search the bodies of the fallen enemies, especially the warden. During the conversation, other members of the enemy guild will close the main entrance and you will have to find an alternative route. There's a bartender (M9, Leoril) located in one of the cells, who must be freed to complete a side quest called Free the Bartender. The other cell holds an NPC called Morlesh (M9, Morlesh), from who you can acquire a side quest called Cult of Ghaundaur.

As soon as the demon focuses its attention on your tank, take control over your rogue and start eliminating the cultists standing in a circle. The cultists are casting empowering spells on the demon, which is why you should take them out as quickly as possible. Don't forget to place Illydia (or your own character, if you are playing as a cleric) far away from the combat, but still in the range of your allies.

During the encounter you don't have to worry about any powerful area of effect spells coming from the demon, as the foe is extremely durable, but its attacks are quite weak. Try to cast spells that increase the damage output and the defenses of your allies and it won't be able to harm any of your characters. After the encounter with the Shadow of Madness, speak with the Drow lying on the ground. Afterwards, Soronil will teleport himself and your entire party back to the inn and will show you his real identity.

The third and final thing to remember is to focus all the enemy's attention on your most durable character (with the highest constitution - CON - attribute).

At the beginning of the encounter set three of your characters far away from the boss, and order your warrior to attack the spider. After several seconds order the rest of your party to join in the fight. Thanks to that, Rhylfang will be entirely focused on your warrior. Remember to use all the defensive abilities of your warrior as well.

The encounter is divided into a number of phases. The first one is obviously the one you begin at. Try to use your most powerful abilities only after you've reduced the defensive capabilities of the enemy with your spells. As soon as you accomplish this, try to deal as much damage as possible, until the boss retreats. The second phase requires you to get rid of the small spiders. Those should pose no threat, as long as you keep them away from your more vulnerable characters. Try to focus their attention on your warrior.

Note - the third phase of the encounter with the spider queen is the most difficult one as well. Rhylfang will cast area of effect spells, which deal poison damage over time. As soon as you notice a puddle of poison spreading from the boss, select your team and order them to retreat to a safe distance! After using the area of effect ability, the queen of spiders won't have any other ability at her disposal. The encounter itself takes quite a while, but given that you know all the enemy's tactics, this fight should be quite easy.

Note - The game has a bug, in which the loot from the boss disappears under the ground. If that happened to you and you can't access it, save the game and then load it afterwards. The loot from the boss should be now visible again and you should be able to pick it up.

After the encounter ends, approach Kerendor and he will tell you the combination to open the portal. He will ask you to ease his pain and finish him off. You can decide to leave him to die in agony, but killing him is the better option - by doing that, you will be able to pick up a part of a legendary sword from his corpse.

In the prison, approach the bars and talk to Gorflun (M12,Gorflun). You learn that Duergars are being controlled by a secret power and it is your mission to save the city. First of all, you need to find the prison warden. Thanks to his keys, you can move around the entire prison freely. Go there (M12,Jargol The Jailor), kill Jorgol The Jailor and loot his corpse for the keys (Stronghold Prison Keyring). After a short exploration of the prison, go North and get to the higher level in the keep. Keep using Search, during the exploration. In the location, there is a lot of gear, lots of chests and secret passages. On the second level of Overlake Hold you find a blacksmith (M12,Kowal). Next to him, there is a toolbox (M12,7), where you find the other half of the legendary axe. In the neighboring room, you find a Duergar schematics to complete the side quest (M12,8). After you do the shopping and explore the area, go to level three, in the Overlake Hold. Just like previously, you find here lots of chests to loot. Keep moving North and you will, eventually, reach the Duergar king. Before the conversation, you will be welcomed by the Lord of Illithids. After a short talk with the Illithid, talk to the Duergar king - Horgar V (M12, King Horgar V). The king opens a passage behind him. In the nearby chest, you find another ruby that you need for the quest - Marked Rubies (M12,12) and a half of a legendary weapon.

to unlock the passage, you need to deploy your party members on the floor buttons (use, Stop command to make them stay put) - Prison For the Mind - Main quest - Forlorn Cliffs / Darklake District M11 - Sword Coast Legends - Game Guide and Walkthrough

to unlock the passage, you need to deploy your party members on the floor buttons (use, Stop command to make them stay put). After the deadly poison cloud is released, approach the three blazing torches and click of the leftmost one to open the passage to the next location. After you make it over to Overlake Ramparts, go up. Along your path, you encounter Illitid, which you will have to fight with.

During the battle, keep in mind that Illithids can control minds - Prison For the Mind - Main quest - Forlorn Cliffs / Darklake District M11 - Sword Coast Legends - Game Guide and Walkthrough

During the battle, keep in mind that Illithids can control minds. If you notice that a party member is under control, switch to the cleric quickly and lift the curse. Command the cleric to stay away from the battle center. In this case, not only is it to prevent the cleric from being cursed, but also to prevent him from being the first target that your allies attack, when they are possessed. If the Illithid gains control over the well-armed rogue, you can be sure that the cleric falls within several seconds. The battle with Illithid is quick. Cast all of your buffs, as cleric, mage and warrior, be it offensive or defensive. Also remember to use the Hidden Dagger as the rogue. This will increase the cooldown of the mind-control spell, by several hundred percent.

After you defeat Illithid, talk to dragon Themberchaud and be on your way - Prison For the Mind - Main quest - Forlorn Cliffs / Darklake District M11 - Sword Coast Legends - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After you defeat Illithid, talk to dragon Themberchaud and be on your way. Remember to collect your reward from the corpse of Illithid. It is a legendary robe that is ideal for the mage. After you reach the destination, you see Moontear (M12,Moontear). During the conversation, you also learn that Bryn was a Succubus for the whole time. He grabs Moontear and escapes.

For completing the quest, you are rewarded with 11900 experience points.

After the conversation with the Succubus, defeat the summoned demons - The Traitors Wake - Main quest - Forlorn Cliffs / Darklake District M11 - Sword Coast Legends - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After the conversation with the Succubus, defeat the summoned demons. Head towards the lower parts of the Overlake Ramparts, and kill the groups of charging demons. At the end of the location, you notice a tunnel - Darklake tunnel, which takes you back to Darklake District. At the end of your path to the main part of the district, you spot the imprisoned succubus (M11,Succubus). Your task is to decide its fate. You can leave him to death in pain (select Celestial Stone) or banish him to hell, which will be an act of mercy (select Infernal Stone). Regardless of your choice, go to Tezzarae's camp in Forlorn Cliffs. After you get there approach the pedestal and put the Belaphoss' stone (replace it for the one thereto open the portal to his realm).

Note! The decision to cross the portal is irreversible. If you do that, you will no longer be able to return, so it is a good idea to tie up all of the loose ends and side quests, before you enter Belaphoss's portal.

After you cross the portal, you start a conversation with Gareth Dawntreader - The Calling - Main quest - Forlorn Cliffs / Darklake District M11 - Sword Coast Legends - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After you cross the portal, you start a conversation with Gareth Dawntreader. You learn that you will have to decide the fate of Moontear. You have two options. You either destroy Moontear and prevent Belaphoss from infusing his energy, or save him with the sacrifice made by Illydia. Now, you will be able to talk to your allies for the last time. After that, go to the red portal, to Belaphoss' hideout. After a short conversation with the demon, the battle starts. During the battle, try to cast spells that buff the entire party. The battle may prove long, but not too difficult. The only thing that you need to watch out for is the fire whirl cast by Belaphoss. This skill results in a tornado of fire surrounding the demon.

The warrior and the paladin, with the help from the cleric, should be able to withstand the effect of fire,, which is not the case with the rogue, which is why you should be utilizing the "Hit and run" tactic. This is unarguably the best tactic, given that Belaphoss will be summoning demons to the battle and there is no better character to eliminate them, than the rogue. Towards the end of the battle with Belaphos, he escapes to devour Moontear's energy. At this point, you need to decide whether you want to save Moontear and sacrifice Illydia, or destroy him.

Note! If you have Illydia on your current party and you decide to keep Moontear, Illydia makes the sacrifice of her life. You cannot revive her, nor save her, so you fight the battle with the final boss not with four characters, but with three of them. Since Illydia is a highly valuable party member - she is the cleric, the ensuing battle may prove too difficult.

regardless of your choice, this is the last battle in the game - The Calling - Main quest - Forlorn Cliffs / Darklake District M11 - Sword Coast Legends - Game Guide and Walkthrough

regardless of your choice, this is the last battle in the game. There are two main phases to the battle with Tasyllys. The first one lasts up to the moment in which he loses 50% of his health. The battle is long, but Tasyllys can't surprise you with anything, in the initial phase. First of all, use the strongest combo of the rogue's skills. Tasyllys has a very low factor of defense against piercing, which is why he will be taking additional damage from the rogue. When coupled with high dexterity (DEX) and increased chance of critical hit, while invisible, the rogue is capable of crushing Tasyllys. The second phase surprises you with the fact that Tasyllys summons his mirror reflections. They deal lots of damage from magic and they are very tough. The best method of eliminating them is dealing critical damage as the rogue. If Tasyllys dies, the same happens to his reflections.

Reward for completing the quest: 14000 experience points.

Sword Coast Legends is a classic cRPG developed by n-Space and Digital Extremes - Sword Coast Legends - system requirements - Sword Coast Legends - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Sword Coast Legends is a classic cRPG developed by n-Space and Digital Extremes. The project has been supervised by Dan Tudge, who can boast his part in Dragon Age: Origins, and sound has been developed by Inon Zur. The game employs a top-down view and ensures tactical pause, during battles. Sword Coast Legends has been based on Unity Engine, which may not be the most popular around, when it comes to complicated and graphically advanced projects. Although the game looks decent, as for the genre, there are technical problems whose source lies in optimization, due to which what is happening on the screen is not properly reflected. The recommended requirements of GeForce GTX 750 1GB do not ensure high, or even medium-low image quality, if you hope for high FPS (45-60). In most cases, the problem is surface shading and resolution of shadows, although the ambient occlusion does not take up too much of your CPU. In the case of shadows, you can compromise them, which ensures decent-looking surroundings. If you have a graphic card lower than GTX 970/780 or AMD Radeon R9290x/390, you do not reach 60 FPS with shadow rendering on. As mentioned above, this compromise is impossible to reach, because if you go a notch lower, when it comes to shadow resolution, they look as if they were composed of several blocks of pixels. This, however, ensure a performance leap and it may turn out to be the last resort for you. Technical analysis ignores the CPU on purpose, because even a weaker unit (e.g. Intel Core i3 or AMD FX 6300) ensure sufficient performance. However, what plays the first fiddle here is the GPU. For the purposes of this walkthrough, a system with Intel Core i5 4460, AMD Radeon R9270x and 8GB RAM, has been used. In this configuration, the game had problems with keeping the steady 60 FPS. The FPS oscillated here around 30-40, where the component that with the most workload was the GPU. Fluent game of 60 FPS could be ensured by changing graphic settings to medium, minimum shadow settings and resolution of 1920x1080. In certain situations, performance dropped as low as to 15 FPS which, if subjected to scrutiny, has not been caused by any of the system's components. The Computer's consumption, in such cases, was as low as 15%, whereas that of the GPU barely reached 50%. Also, this has not been caused by problems of loading data from the SSD drive, nor by the lack of free RAM/ VRAM. Fluency drops occurred mainly during cutscenes rendered in real time. However, this was not too tedious and did not handicap the actual gameplay. What was annoying, though, is random game crashes and long locations loading screens. Long loading screens usually raise suspicion, because the game has been installed on an SSD drive and there is no way, in which this could be free space that could cause the problems.

To sum up: Sword Coast Legends is not the leader, when it comes to its technical aspects. Numerous FPS drops, crashes and long loading screens left a sour aftertaste that remains in memory forever.
