After Baldur's Gate 3 released its early access build, many CRPG fans have decided to try out Larian Studios' older titles to get their RPG fix. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Divinity: Original Sin 2, Larian's most recent RPG, is widely considered one of the best CRPGs of the modern era. Its plethora of quests and choices make for an infinitely replay🐭able experience.
A great example of this is the quest "Hammerfall." Towards the end of the quest, players will need to pass a trial from a statue in order to enter the game's final story mission. Here is a complete guide to The Path of Blood section of the "Hammerfall" quest in Divinity: Original Sin 2. Heavy spoilers ahead.
8 How ♏To Reach The Path Of Blood 🅷
To reach the final story mission in Divinity: Original Sin 2, players will first need to pass the Path of Blood. This area can be found inside a cathedral in Arx, the hub town of Act 4. Head to the north-most part of the city to find the cathedral. From there, head to the end of the cathedral to find a statue that is surrounded by 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:blood and ghosts.
7 The Simulacrum of ℱ꧒Lucian's Trial
Every NPC in the cathedral will tell the player to interact with the statue to begin the trial. Upon interacting with the statue, the "Simulacrum of Lucian" will begin speaking to the 𒅌player, asking if th🔜ey are ready for questioning.
Should the player accept, they must answ🐎er four𝕴 questions truthfully. The questions are as follows:
- Dost thou steal?
- Dost thou kill?
- Dost thou serve the Void?
- Dost thou respect the soul?
The first question refers to taking owned items, the second refers to killing any character including undead, the third refers to helping Voidwoken NPCs, and the fourth refers to absorbing souls or corpses for Source. Answering any of these questions with a lie or admitting to the act 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:will instantly kill the character who is being questioned.
6 🔥 Soluꦺtion 1: Pass The Trial
Of course, the most straightforward solution to this trial is to answer truthfully. To do this, players must have one character in their party never steal, kill, harvest source, or help Voidwoken NPCs in the entire playthrough. That is easier said 🦩than done. Since any environmental effect or minion kills count as the player's own, characters will need to be a pacifist for the first three Acts to receive Lucian's blessing. Thankfully, there is an easy albeit cheesy way of beating the trial.
Head to the Lady Vengeance and speak to Sergeant Zrilla. She will allow players to obtain a hireling for a small Gold fee, so long as the party has a slot open. Purchase a hireling and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:create any character. Once complete, head back to the statue and have the newly-recruited companion answer the questions. Since the hirel𒆙ing has no record to speak of, they will answer every question truthfully and, theref👍ore, complete the trial.
5 Solu💟tion 2: Atone
Perceptive characters might have noticed an interactive object to the left of the room. Interacting with the object will reveal a socket that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:an amulet could fit right into. To bypass the trial altogether, the party will need to obtain a special amulet and scroll to progress. More specif💝ically, players will need the Source Amulet and Scroll of Atonement to complete the Path of Blood.
4 H𓃲o♎w To Obtain The Source Amulet
Obtaining the Source Amulet is quite simple. Look for a character named Toyseller Sanders in Arx and speak with him. Players will need to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:persuade the NPC 🙈to help them progress through the Path of Blood. If a persuasion option does not appear,꧋ either read the "Report on the Toyseller" book in the Magister's vault or rescue Arhu.
Once the Source Amulet is obtained, players will need to charge the amulet with Source to bypass the trial. Since the amulet has five Source slots, players must obtain five Sour♏ce by using the Source Vampirism spell on spirits.
3 How To Obtain The Scr𓆏oll Of Atonement 🌞
For the amulet to work, players will also need a unique scroll named the Scroll of Atonement. In the same building as the Toyseller, head to the room on the right and climb up a 🐭flight of stairs. On the second floor, look for a locked desk beside a painting of Alexander. Use the password "Giyora" to unlock the desk and take the scroll.
2 🗹 ♐ The Crypt Of Lucian Puzzle
With both the Source Amulet and Scroll of Atonement, head to the interactive button in the Path of Blood and activate it. A hatch should reveal itself, allowing players to enter the Crypt of Lucian. Inside is yet 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:another obscure puzzleཧ, only this time it won't requi🐼re a scavenger hunt.
It's a matching puzzle that requires players to match the element of the top section with the bottom one us🉐ing pipes to route the energy. Starting the puzzle requires players to create blood atop a grate behind the puzzle table. Damaging a companion or casting Blood Rain should do the trick. From there, cycle the rotation of the pipe pieces to get the elemental source types to match.
1 ♌ Prepare For T♎he Final Encounter
Before venturing further, make a game save and complete any side quests that are left unfinished. After the crypt puzzle is an arena that leads to the final boss of Divinity: Original Sin 2. This fight holds no punches from the player, so make sure to equip every character with the best gear and spells possible. Stock up on Source, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:reach as high of a level as possible, and make a backup save before attempting to beat the final boss. The game will also give a warning when the party approaches the final boss fig⛦ht.
