Major Weapon & Armor Upgrades | Dawn of Defiance Gameplay | Part 2

[@nullandvoidification]

as far as content, you are currently on the tutorial island basically, once you complete the current set of quests you'll open a portal to the much larger island and there are quite a few more quests, and more upgrades/tech advancements. I've only gotten to the first part of the bigger island so I'm not sure how much more but there are at least 8 more shrines each with their own requirements.

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

To eliminate confusion: your chests will broadcast their contents to nearby crafting tables. Using the build menu requires you to haul rocks and the like yourself. Also, you can only have ONE food bonus and ONE potion bonus, newer ones will overwrite the older ones. So you should basically have Cooked Meat and Stamina Salve as your active bonuses: the meat provides health regen over time.

[@SqueakingLion]

That Palace of Power... it sure is a nice PLACE, isn't it? ;)

[@bobjob2514]

Saw this comment way too early. You left me anticipating the shenanigans. Thanks for adding to my day. lol

[@lostsoulsqueen2440]

the flowers do glow pretty noticeably at night its just your 100 percent brightness that's dulling them

[@haoleboi16]

You can craft at crafting benches from your chests. When you have the fire spit outside make sure it is on a foundation with a roof over it or else it will not cook while it rains or just build it inside your house.

[@86Kiaser]

It's not craft out of chest, you can craft on workbench's out of chests.

[@haoleboi16]

@@86Kiaser that’s what I said?

[@bobjob2514]

@@86KiaserI can see how the phrasing isn’t 1,000% clear.

[@pitlifekennel5445]

You are just on the starter world, there's alot to do in the other world. You need alot of ambrosia, get them when possible (night). You will be able to get the pickaxe shortly, keep playing and you open alotttt

[@cgonzales115]

ambrosia flowers are only pickable at night there are a few things that you only get at night time also certain chests can only be opened at night. i do like how they give you a purpose to stay up at night because certain items are only obtained at night im wondering if certain missions are also night time quest's.... I find going after the smaller trees are the way to get alot of resin vs. chopping down the larger trees just for resin. it makes it far easier to make the repair item for tools and weapons.

[@bobjob2514]

Don’t forget that you can always just look at the sun in these games for the time of day.

[@dribz3b29]

The most entertaining indecisive KZbinr 😂😂😂

[@gravdigr27]

Another tip, best chance to get 3 star animal carcasses is with a HEADSHOT from a bow. Never got better than a 1 star from melee kills and even a 1 shot with a bow gives 2 star at best if it's not a headshot.

[@Thulsardoom]

Don't waste time on your starter island base, as it gets left behind. main island is where you real base will be. I spent hours manually carrying all my mats to new base. Game is very fun.

[@dannyroman86]

OMG, if you didn't show me how to mess with my brightness, I would have stayed in darkness, I never check game settings menus. Genius, tysm! =)))

[@mmre6506]

Thx for checking out the large statue,thx for the series.

[@screaminsilence81]

some benches let u craft out of ur chest and some dont XD as ive noticed....the crafting bench lets u do it for sure

[@u-manoj2707]

Also headshot matters for animals. Yellow damage means headshot.

[@gravdigr27]

You can CRAFT out of chests using the crafting benches. You need the mats in your inventory to BUILD using the hammer or when loading a bench to refine raw mats. My biggest issue with the game is that it's very easy to skip progression crafting on the main island. I went from bronze gear right to top tier ambrosia without having to do one shrine quest. Skipped gold, silver, iron and steel.

[@stevensteve6617]

Yes all benches craft out of all chests in your base, so make plenty of dump chests. That cave is a death trap. 5+ enemy encounters all at once. Try not to spam in the combat, and retreat and use the corners to block arrows. The better arrows are in the leather strip bench for some reason, and they take flint, so go back to the beach by that statue for more. My bro and I are playing the shit out of this game. :D

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

The Lost swarms aren't too bad if you keep the main tips in mind: always sprint for the nearest cover to break line of sight from archers and javelineers, after an enemy misses an attack they're vulnerable for 2-4 hits before you should reset, avoid keeping your shield raised as it halts stamina regen, also you should have Cooked Meat and Stamina Salve running when entering combat areas.

[@lostsoulsqueen2440]

There are 2 caves one small and easy near the temple door and the harder cave which is the one u stepped into. Chests around the island unlock various recipes- u can make better arrows but i couldn't tell u which chest it is i don't remember. This is just a wide overview of some of the basic mechanics, u will be building a portal to teleport to the main island from this "tutorial" island.

[@hannibalsmith666]

Hi. How to change style in Armor crafting station, tried differents options but seems do not change anything

[@wpeale71341]

You can go the Palace of Power but I am going to the Place of Power myself. LMAO. Just yanking your chain.

[@kpweld641]

First 3mins is an “ok” count of 9000 😂

[@peter01peterm]

Fun fact Kage, how much ambrosia you gona need?? All!! Not joking,you need to get as much you can,you gona use it a Lot!(even for spolier alert: for crafting!)

[@Buckethead99]

three star kills come almost explicitly from bow kills, and it can take two or three shots and still get 3 star. or 2 star.

[@gazgaming1022]

I got this game after watching part 1 and I haven't been able to stop playing now

[@CyKosis1973]

The Hardfall ability will make more sense once you've unlocked the remaining Places of Power. You won't be disappointed 😀

[@RxDoc2010]

Flint arrows are in the hunter station.

[@church8042]

Great video Kage and I like this game. I am excited for the next episode! Woot and God bless! ~John

[@edwardbruening1530]

Shoot the glowing orbs floating above the chests

[@micheletremonti2434]

The glowing balls are called Wisps

[@Buckethead99]

ground pound attack is the strong attack while in the air. Middle Mouse Button. stuns opponents

[@cgonzales115]

hey Cage have you opened the map to see how large it is yet......i feel alot of content ahead

[@marcusfilosa166]

Funny enough, watching this immediately following episode 25 of 7 days lol

[@SarahWealthy]

You can find the craystles in caves

[@micheletremonti2434]

How are you customizing your character?

[@ant3702]

You can tell the time of day by if it’s light or dark out

[@gamingaccount6904]

Maybe you should light the campfires. I know that it is an advantage in all the Souls games.

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

If you are referring to the Braziers of Apollo, then yeah, he should definitely light those. At the moment they'll act as rapid health regeneration zones, but he'll have to backtrack to them and light them all anyway for a future quest.

[@leonardbryan4333]

Some special chests can only be opened at night

[@Thulsardoom]

shoot the glowing floating wisps = loot

[@Roberyy007]

You're not uploading/playing this game fast enough! C'mon Kage post more!! haha just messing. I am loving this series so far though

[@kaustubhpatil30-12]

You can craft better arrows in the bench

[@HD-qf6to]

moon chests can only be opened at night also

[@Buckethead99]

cannot build structures from chest, but can craft items from chest.

[@RxDoc2010]

Just look for the sun/moon for time of day.

[@Exile_066]

Idk if there are other ways, but I've only seen better quality from bows only.... thus far

[@micheletremonti2434]

How about using your shields

[@beaverhart2566]

at a crafting station, you can craft out of chests ... but you cannot build out of chests :(

[@TheCybercoco]

"Thank you to the devs who were kind enough to send me a free game key" What do you mean you bought the game?

[@BlackDim100]

You can craft out of chests, but not build.

[@Orcrez]

Love the game but it seems really grindy

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

You can always multiply the loot setting until it is comfortable for you.

[@Thulsardoom]

lol your on the starter island ..................... look at ze map zoom out....

[@lostsoulsqueen2440]

PLACE of power not palace
