Battleheart Legacy expert hints and tips - Witch skill tree

In Battleheart Legacy, you never need to restrict yourself to one type of RPG class.

Thanks to a deep and flexible skill set, your hero can learn traits, abilities, and special moves from a huge range of different warriors - and then mix them up for a completely personalised skill sheet.

But there's no way of knowing what skills you can learn from each master until you dump a bunch of coins in their coffers and boost the required skills.

Which is where we come in, with a complete skill tree from each class.

The witch requires intelligence and endurance to teach you her dark energies. Get the right stats, though, and you'll be able to turn people into toads and to blast them with poisons and unholy spells.



You can find the witch deep in The Gobwood, which is located to the west of Eston.



Ask to become her apprentice (and don't try to kill her), and she'll ask you to fetch a textbook from Eston academy.



Head back to the academy and ask the chap in the doorway about the textbook. He'll tell you that the tome was confiscated by the royal guard and is in the dungeon.

Sigh, off we go!



Exit to the world map, then choose 'Dungeon' from Eston's list of locations. Get through the guards with a bribe (500 gold) or by slaying them.



Slice your way through the soldiers and wizards inside to find a treasure chest containing the (talking) book. You can choose to burn the book to get EXP, but we'll decline and take the tome back to the witch.
