Is there a Humble Bumble link for the expansions that helps out your channel? Or do I use the link to the basic Grim Dawn page and then search for the expansions from there? Edit: I just saw at the bottom of the Humble Bundle webpage where it says "Partner Enabled: Lifting" so it looks like it will work. thanks for the links!

I think you left out a VERY important way to farm reputation: bounties. This does not apply to all enemy factions, but Cronley's definitely qualifies. Cronley's Gang has a ennemy faction of it's own, which is your friend: Devil' Crossing. By going to the Devil's Crossing bounty table (near Boston office in the middle), you can access bounties. Quick explanation about the bounty table mechanics: Each time you load the game, each table has a five bounties counter. If you do not have a bounty selected with that particular table, you can check the first one. You can then either accep it, or dismiss it. You you accept it, you can complete it, and then go back to the bounty table for a bonus. Then, you can select or dismiss another one. After you do that a maximum of five times, the bounty table is "exhausted", and will no longer give bounties, until or reload the game by going to the main menu. The bounties comes from a pre-selected list (one for each table), and the bounties are selected randomly from that table each time you check for a bounty. Yes, it CAN give you the same bounty twice, and yes, sometimes that bounty CANNOT be completed in the same game (like, killing the same monster boss twice in a row). Also, when you select a bounty, you CANNOT discard it and it must be completed. For this reason, it is recommended to only farm bounties when you have access to all the warp gates and areas relative to that bounty table. Now, about the Devil's Crossing (DC) table and Cronley's Gang (CG). About two-thirds of the bounties at DC concerns killing stuff about CG goons. The trick is that, each time you reload the game and go for the route LiftingNerdBro described, you adjust where you start according to this: 1) Do I already have a DC bounty selected? If yes, go the the area where I can complete it and try to have it completed. 2) If not, get a new bounty. 3) Then, as soon as you complete a bounty, cycle through the bounties for a bounty that A) concerns the CG and B) CAN be completed this playthrough. 4) Go the area to complete quest. 5) Repeat until all bounties are exhausted or are no longer possible to complete. 6) Finish the remaining areas for grinding reputation. Why do this? The reson stated by LNB is that every enemy id either a 1, 2, 50 or 125 reputation gain. Getting a quest does the following: More chances that the ennemy to kill spawns (thus in itself is a 125 points of infamy), and foe each quest done is a 150 points of infamy gained, plus iron bits and other rewards (usually crafting materials). A normal CG run without bounties and the Warrant bonus (more on that later) will yield approximately 700-800 points gains (about 5-6 bosses, purples, with a few heores worth 50 a pop). If you are reasonably lucky, you can complete about three bounties of DC per run, for an additional 450 points. That's approximately 60% more effective!!! Once you unlock Nemesis, you no longer need to do this, as the Nemesis itself is worth far more than the bounties. If you do this for only one character, then you can't use the Warrant. But if you want to have another character do the same run, then kill the Nemeis until a Warrant appears (either from the Nemesi or the Nemesis stash), then a new character can gain a 50% reputation bonus from it's killing spree. Every enemy faction that has bounties availiable against it from a friendly faction can work the same way. Just check the friendly faction way of getting reputation, and if it lists an enemy faction, there is a good chance that it's bounty table will offer missions against it. This is especially important with the CG faction, the Order/Kymon faction, the Aetherial Vanguard faction (Ashes of Malmouth) and the Eldritch faction (Forgotten gods), because the amount of ennemies to kill in those factions are extremely limited: they only spawn at a few areas with limited amounts of enemies per load. Boosting the infamy with bounty is highly recommended because it's so easy to do. Hace fun farming!

glad you are still on youtube, lifting, and create these videos

[@ryanlang281]

I'm enjoying GD more than POE

[@signspace13]

Yes! Please more like this, efficient farming is hit or miss and takes ages to learn, this for each of the nemesis bosses and some of the purple components would be fantastic!

[@asdfkgkspr284]

Big fan of this and any other GD content!

[@wink721]

This is such a much needed video man I love it! So much info here and I honestly think your KZbin content it by far the best I’ve see for grim dawn cheers bud

[@LiftingNerdBro]

Thanks a lot mate! I’ll keeping putting out videos for as long as you guys watch them :)

[@IsaacDevilAngel]

Wonderfull content :O, also your voice is sooooo soothing :3. More video's of this would be wonderfull :)

[@FritzFrisbee]

Nice video Lifting and I would like more of this content. Thx for the work :-)

[@RG-fp1lg]

Just started this game again last week, and although I'm still a ways from endgame farming, your videos seem very helpful, good stuff.

[@sinh7765]

hey man. loved your EoR guide and i was wondering if you could continue doing more detailed guides like that one? ive had GD for a while now but didnt always have time to fully learn the game/builds and most build guides ive looked up on the forums and they seemed to be aimed for people who already have ton of items, ton of hours into the game and such. the moment you uploaded your guide tho. ive already sunk 50hours into that build and loved it and how detailed even the leveling was. hungry for more builds of yours.

[@LiftingNerdBro]

Hey mate! Glad to hear it and yes that is the plan! I am currently playing a Dervish Shadow-strike build and if it turns out to be goos enough there will be a guide for that and other builds too :) Thanks!

[@legbert123]

I would love another nemesis video guide. My fav thing to do in GD was thinking of making one myself but this is perfect.

[@Worusk_93]

Fabius is one of my favourite nemesis. The history behind this murderer is amazing. LNB, be careful with Grava'Thul in your journey.

[@danielkristianto2]

First ! Yeahh. I ve been using your templar build and have a lot of fun !

[@Relord123]

Great video man, i would love to see more videos like this on the other nemesis bosses

[@Azzathekiwi]

Great info, and really enjoying GD! Just moved into Ultimate and working on nemesis farming. Cheers for the guides and info Lifting, keep it up bro.

[@chimmi_live]

As always ! Nice and Great Work Lifting !

[@legbert123]

There is a guaranteed dynamite stick east of the exit from hannefy mine also in the north of the first enclosed circular area. And moneybags always drops one and usually 2.

[@PhoenixLive_YT]

after 1k hours, just now i discovered that i can run 2 auras of the same type from components......

[@dr.drakeramoray789]

wait really? fuck...

[@weeschwee]

But does it do anything? I tried it with vicious spikes (I think) and while it said my dps went up, I didn't do extra damage against the target dummies.

[@dr.drakeramoray789]

@@weeschwee i havent even tested :( but i can test with something a little easier to see, like 2 x purified salt and check if you can use the aether res aura twice. will actually check right now! edit: seems to work

[@PhoenixLive_YT]

i run 2 enchanted flints and they stack, my fire damage went off the roof lol

[@weeschwee]

@@PhoenixLive_YT Weird. Maybe I need to test it again.

[@Waterpijpie]

we love it. can we have more plz

[@meiskeikusanagi]

bro thanks for the video help a lot hope to see more video from you

[@grahamfordham4510]

Great video. thank you for taking the time to make it.

[@chaoton]

In my more than 100 runs farming with Fabius, I found he rarely spawn in his spawn point near Devil's crossing so it's often the last place to check for me. My method specialized on finding blueprints from nemesis trove so I ignore every non-boss enemies on my way and simply take quick look near spawn points without going in unless the nemesis is there. Here's my route : 1) Arkovian foot hill rift - surround to the left then surround to the right if he's not there I take some stroll checking the ruin to the far right for Moosilauke, the undead's nemesis. If there's nothing go to the next spot. 2) Old Arkovia rift - Get into the mine, going down, if he's not there I back track up to the upper zone and if he's still not there we go to the next place. 3) Cronley's hideout Part I - we exit the hideout to the open air, go to the upper left cliff, glancing if he's down there near the arena. If he's not we check the lower right, then to the upper right crossing suspension bridge then proceed to upper left, or the next spot. 4) Cronley's hideout Part II - now get inside ,run the way LNB suggested , if by Dereni he's no where to be found pls go a bit further he might be at the end of the tunnel, yet if he's not there just go check the place near Devil's crossing.

[@joshuamanguix4861]

Hi. I think dereni will not spawn if you didn't spare his life in an earlier quest.

[@chaoton]

It's as you say. I just simply use him as a marker for simpler explanation. Most people who have farming in their mind often leave him alive.

[@RunalzOrz]

Hey Bro, really loved this farming pattern and structured content, clicked like for the video - Only small feedback I would recommend putting some basic advice on how to actually fight Fabius but thanks all the same.

[@TheMyopie]

A superb guide!

[@Evys]

Note about bounties: If you pick up Boris bounty off Devil's Crossing he spawns 100% of the time as long as you don't turn it in.

[@TheLordSascha]

Great upload, can't wait to try it out :) 🧙

[@fornogoodreason551]

checking to see if you did the other nemsis bosses.

[@EmmaDilemma039]

This type of farming is what I really like about GD compared to PoE. It seems like end game farming in grim dawn is very accessible to all players. Anyone can farm reputation. But in PoE, you need to amass currency just to be able to farm for things.

[@Justinlmd]

Yes yes yes! More of this, please

[@kkunkel8]

Just reached 65 using your latest templar build guide, feels solid. I had already had a lot of this path in my head for farming dynamite. I wish the grind wasn't so long for the rep though :(

[@LiftingNerdBro]

Glad to hear it mate. Cronley's Gang rep farming is one of the hardest factions to get to nemesis imo - it requires a bit of patience for sure. I put on an audiobook and chill with that while farming away, haha.

[@Zep2084]

thank you sir!

[@paulianchis]

Yeeeees please, more farm routes. Not just nemesis...for mats and specific items too. I’ll take any tips and info :)

[@ExiledTitan117]

best guide ever for GD.

[@beckystaub6722]

Please do more nem farm videos!

[@blabla-rg7ky]

fabius can also spawn in the arkovian docks, I've found him in that area 2 times out of 15-16 runs that I did

[@legbert123]

good stuff sir

[@benjaminnewell5214]

if you're just looking for mythical blueprints then i suggest going for the beast Nemesis as doing ancient grove runs is an easy way to farm rep. only problem is that kubacabra can be a hard fight

[@Fatkiller22]

More Grim Dawn!

[@DragonDark149]

The thing with Fabius is that you can check all his spawn points because it's relatively easy to find him (he's one of the nemesis with the least spawn points alongside Kymon's/Order of death vigil) The problem begins with the other nemesis... Benn'Jahr for example is PITA farming him, sooo many places to check with many spawn points, one of them being Bastion of Chaos which can be a difficult place for a new player Heck, chthonian nemesis are the worst... Benn'Jahr the INIVISIBLE and Grava'Thul the INVINCIBLE

[@xiaobinlu6954]

please put up more build video

[@Joaremy]

Great guide mate, I'll try it out! I need some good fire gear on my templar. :D

[@k4tzualgaming441]

Is this viable for a veteran run or higher difficulties are recommended?

[@zekonja90]

Do more build guides, thanks.

[@petermarcussen6265]

Keep up the good work. :)

[@letmecommentalready]

What build are you running? That looks super fun!

[@LiftingNerdBro]

Currently running a Dervish (nightblade/oathkeeper) using shadow strike and Righteous Fervor. It is working pretty well so far, but I might try speccing into Aegis of Menhir too =)

[@gorunnova58]

Could you make other faction video

[@folksyp8771]

What build you using

[@mrt6349]

Hejsa :) I just did a few Cronley runs so i can hit those nemesis spawns. I am currently in elite my Cronley gang is at 5698 and is stuck, no matter how many runs i do it wont move. I got nemesis in Aetherials beast and undead. I have overfarmed Valdaran if such a feat is possible :)

[@lukaskidanje]

Can i do nemessis boss at elitr or must be ultimate

[@flyinhawaiian9174]

Devouring any & all GD content as I just started playing the game. Have 5 or 6 toons between 45-60 thus far. Is Nemesis farming something that needs to be done when you are max level?

[@seanjones7822]

not max level perse, but in ultimate for sure, because that's where you get the best drops. However, nemeses shouldn't be taken lightly, they can be very, very difficult to kill if you're just starting out. I would recommend getting some key upgrades and powerspikes in your build before trying to farm these guys. Stuff like your endgame weapon, a few set pieces, etc. Also, the different nemeses have vastly different strengths and weaknesses. Moosiluake, for example, will freeze lock you unless you have good aoe and good freeze res (like 60% plus freeze res) but otherwise isn't too hard. Valdaran as well is not too hard, but he can stunlock if your stun res is low. Fabius does a lot of damage, other nemeses like kubacabra and the iron maiden are also super rippy. Basically, try out the different nemeses and see what your build can clear, because not all of them can be done on every build. Thankfully, there's lots of easier farm content that you can do, like treasure troves, the twin falls farming run, and many, many others that are super easy, not rippy at all, and can get you started on your legendary and recipe building.

[@Craigerade]

What build is this?

[@SGTvolcan]

Sorry if this seems rude but i must point out..... West is < that way, and East is > that way.

[@Failezz_swe]

Insta liked video Ps; thats templar build? ::D

[@LiftingNerdBro]

thanks mate! No this is actually a Dervish build that I am working on atm =)

[@benjaminnewell5214]

cool

[@compathent_2894]

I feel in keeping with the 'lifting' theme of this channel, you should use the word 'gains' as much as possible. "This will maximize your level gains." or "You can get max gains with reputation taking this route.". Please, think of your channel's reputation.

[@kamilmcki8631]

lifting,why dont you make a discord server? imsure people will be interested,i would like to talk to you too!

[@LiftingNerdBro]

Hey Kamil, I actually do have a discord server that I encourage you guys to join. It is Discord.gg/Lifting =)

[@redduskironsky1058]

Im so mad. For the first time since picking up this game years ago, I saw my map when entering the Steps of Torment to find the Archives Untold, and I saw a giant skull, no idea, looked it up and yes, my first ever nemesis. I was scared but also excited to discover something new for me. Well, the game freaking crashed as I walked down the second steps of the first area of the dungeon. Goodbye nemesis...f this computer.

[@Pl4sm0]

Very good guide, but I would advice to not spend time on this rep, the best gear is found in FG ;)

[@alekmoth]

Good content. But even as an ARPG fan, this doesnt really look fun..

[@LiftingNerdBro]

I think it is one of those things where you have to try it for yourself =)
