GREEDFALL - 7 Tips You NEED To Know When Playing!

[@gorz2013]

Capes work the same as chest pieces and are far cheaper. I've been buying up faction capes and keeping them on me so I can use them for disguises

[@vanSickmain]

That is some SOLID advice

[@evanpetelle9744]

Fucking gold advice.

[@derausmpark]

BS, they don't.

[@Dr_Smash]

This game may not be the best structured, but it has an incredible foundation that has the potential to birth a fantastic franchise.

[@tlotpwist3417]

But the studio would need a bigger team to improve on all the defaults

[@zeophalanx1751]

this game reminds me of technomancer, both of these games are really good in the fields they did well, but fall behind in other areas. if you love this genre, check out technomancer alongside greedfall. theyre similar and really fun imo

[@kaseyforney8510]

I started playing Greed fall 2 weeks ago and if there was a second or third i would definitely play them

[@YeOldeMachine]

If tgey had a bigger budget, this game woulda been awesome. They really did a fantastic job with what they had

[@tylerharris9847]

God im addicted to this game man like yeah there's bugs but very minor lip sync is horrible but the dialogue and quests is old dragon age origins good im loving it

[@aaronmiller4871]

Tyler Harris tbh I barely notice the lip sync. What fucks me up is the tongues while talking lol. Get rid of them completely imo and the mouth stuff will be much more tolerable

[@dushikorsou1]

The only complaint about the dialogue/story i have is zero jokes or funny dialogue between companions like mass effect it is all so serious. It needs to lighten up abit. And in combat the enemies have way to much auto locking on you. The big guy with the spear pretty much throws a heat seeking missle at you rofl i even stasided him and the spear in mid air did a 180 and hit me

[@tylerharris9847]

I'm addicted to it too. I love the setting, the combat, and the general feel of the game.

[@ianshaan]

I love it too! I just wish we had rolls instead of the jump back.

[@taraXbrooks]

Heres a tip if your just starting a new game and want all the loot but you're eyeing a different talent thats not lockpicking. Your companion Kurt's armor has +1 to lockpicking. You can trade armor with him in the tutorial section of serene and open all of the locked chests, all without investing in lockpicking! Get your loot and enjoy the talent point in a different section (i went with carisma but i would suggest either science or intuition, you can find a set of clothing with +1 to craftsmanship later and the starting gear is good enough for the beginning sections of the game)

[@Avrysatos]

My goodness, I knew his armor had that but I didn't make that connection. you're brilliant.

[@YeOldeMachine]

Somebody give Spiders a god damn budget. They really nailed the RPG systems here. Plenty of depth, plenty of choices, creative implementation. Its a little too janky to be popular, but all the parts of an RPG that are hard to get right, they got.

[@wubbalubbadubdub5867]

Exactly I was happily surprised

[@deathknelle3868]

Here's a good tip: abuse the heck put of the tactical pause menu. Your character can be told to dodge or block during a pause before enemy attacks land and will automatically dodge in the correct direction to avoid the attack and block at the right time to deflect the blow.

[@craig581]

Especially against the insanely difficult first boss in the first area.

[@shortzy0121]

I just smacked the shit out of the first boss and killed him 2nd try 😂😂😂

[@mitsurugi667]

Just one correction to what you said. You said "If your mana runs out, you better hope to have power potions." Power potions increase the destabilizing effect of physical attacks. I think you meant to say magic potions, cause they are the ones that restore mana.

[@stratplus]

Regarding charisma options: when a conversation gives you a charisma or pay option, first choose leave so you can save your game. After that start the dialogue again and choose the charisma line. If it doesn't work, load your save and try again. Worked just fine in cases where chance of success was 25% or 50%. Saved me quite some money.

You know what makes me smile? You pointed out a great thing about the combat in this game. It's tailored to hybrids. It's hilarious that Skillup didn't realize that and just complained the whole time lmao. Went full firearms and traps and didn't get why he wasn't having a good time

[@alessimc]

I’m having fun with full magic, so far (12 hours in).

[@happilyisolated]

@@alessimc I'm mainly magic and heavy single handed weapons. Kudos to you for using full magic. I'm guessing you're using magic potions and science to keep your MP recovering? Or Vigor perhaps? I have Vigor myself to help restore HP and MP when not fighting.

[@alessimc]

WorldHunter I guess I shouldn’t say “full” magic - I left the magic build’s points into one handed heavy weapons, which I do use occasionally. I have put 0 points into it, however. I do use science for potions. There are so many ingredients everywhere (I wear an intuition hat) that it seems silly not to.

[@happilyisolated]

@@alessimc Right on! That's roughly what I'm using too. Though, I have to sneak in my science skill using armor lol. Currently have points in perception and Vigor, with armor augmenting my science. At the very very least, I have 1 level in most of the attributes. So I can use a "meh" rifle from the pre-order to help with stun. Some of these creatures resist my mace so a gun helps.

[@Primal-zh3jk]

Quick note 1 point of intuition grants you 25% loot chance if you become friends with Captain Vasco he grants you a point while he’s in your party if you also pick up the Merchant Prince Hat it grants 25% loot chance so you could go to 75% chance at extra loot I’ve used the Merchant Prince Hat, the preorder bonus chest armor (adds 25% loot chance) and take Vasco with me on San Matheus and it’s a nice little farm I don’t have any points into intuition lol Xd

[@joelavacot5721]

My biggest complaint so far is getting stuck in a small room due to companions won’t gtfo and npcs also trying to walk through. So far enjoying the game immensely.

[@JeanLucPicard85]

There are stealth skills in the game. Just sneak up from behind and a prompt comes up. Not sure if you need to have a specific weapon equipped, like a dagger/stiletto, in the secondary slot. It's not always an insta-kill, some tough monsters just take a lot of dmg instead.

[@dillontharp1602]

I’m personally loving this game, it’s a little janky at times but I’m having a lot of fun

[@axelanders9766]

Just two days in playing Greedfall and loving it! Great tips in your video and I am still figuring things out too. Happy I paid full price and support this small developer, sure there is always room for improvement but this game is worth every penny, lots of fun and the big so called triple A's could learn a thing or two how to make a satisfying game that WORKS.

[@axelanders9766]

So just some added opinion after a couple weeks of play. Still like the game, enjoy the combat and the strong suit of the game is the story and dialogue. The biggest bother to me is the cookie cutter of the interiors and the shortage of unique faces. A bit reminiscient of the first witcher. It kills immersion to have unique architecture on the exterior and the same exact copy of the palace or house in every town. Then one should note the world is not open like Skyrim or Witcher 3, it's more akin to Tombraider or Dragonage in the map layout and travel between maps. Even so it's enjoyable and keeps you engaged.

[@DJDocsVideos]

There's just one thing you need to know max firearms and get a ton of ammo, bang bang you won.

[@craig581]

Another tip is to craft cheap armour and place each skill into them. i.e Science, locking picking, crafting etc. I believe Kurt already has a chest piece with lock picking at the very start, so take that from him and put it on yourself to open those early level 1 chests in the first area.

[@lordpiggyton5758]

I’m liking the dragon age music 😉

[@TheFinnmacool]

omg this is the third start up vid I saw that said definitely start such and such talent. All different. lol

[@Cruzan9]

Never got around to getting this but I learned it was part of PS Plus January offerings. Trying to get some tips before I start. It's very Witcher 3 with some Dragon Age (Inquisition is the only one I played) thrown in. Really looking forward to it.

[@Jim2point0]

1. Intuition is a worthwhile skill to take. 2. Build Hybrid characters / dont dedicate yourself to 1 path. 3. Build/upgrade items with skills on them (like +1 lockpicking, +1 science, etc). 4. Keep chest armors for disguises. 5. Skulls are bad. Avoid enemies with skulls. You can beat them though. So maybe don't avoid them. Also this game has stealth. 6. Gold is hard to get. - hunt wildlife and sell their junk - do contracts on mission boards -7. Skill alters exist. Find them. They good.

A note on the lip sync: is isn't horrible on PC. I can clearly see what words their mouth is forming and it fits with the voice overs. Granted, when they are talking, the animations flow into one another so it does some kind of odd but nothing near where it would bother me.

[@thegombie]

No1 tip. Don't bother with lockpick skill. (just use the armor mod for lockpick +fury gen.) Theres nothing in the entire game that makes lockpick 2 or 3 worth it. (no decent gear) All good ones have keys you can easily find.

[@VampireNoblesse]

GreedFall (very hard) and Metro Exodus (hardcore) are GOTY!! both well balanced on the higher settings.., just in GF, don't try to take on anyone at lv 1 (wait till atleast lv 2.., or stealth-kill as many as you can till lv 2 or 3.., afer that its very doable on very hard.. and Metro Exodus, recommend to stealth as much as possible...) GF on very hard is as easy if not easier than Technomancer on hard (sidenote, Technomancers action is better and really good imo, especially the "dual hand pole" or "daggers" + countering.. rest of GF is better..., well OST is equally good) EDIT: as for GF builds, love the "devine magic ring" & "lighting dash" skill trees a lot

You never have to max out any Talent up to 3 you only need 2 of each. Tip 3: You can recycle and have a at least 50% chance to get back the items you've used. If you're open to save scumming it's a sure way to get back your crafting staff.

rather than intuition (not very valuable), i went for science, to craft my own ammo. the vendors will sell the materials to craft them. you can reset the vendors stock by sleeping. loot containers in town also reset if you let 11 days pass by sleeping. then i went accuracy and agility for guns and longswords. for the skills i went throw vial, anointed weapons, and longswords. i chose to use guns that used 5-6 ammo before reload. i crafted the gun to shred armor a bit. i crafted the longsword for pure damage. i applied poison to the longsword. the gun would generate fury. i could just use gun only, but to save ammo i use the sword when i have fury. i'd carry about 20 of each potion and grenade, and 300 ammo. before vial throw i had set trap. doing the arena in pub was impossible to do with just gun. traps/nades were vital.

Combine the skill-up and faction chest piece tips. For example, i wear a merchant chest mainly as i'm repping my main faction (trying to stay neutral) and it has Vigor. Then i've got lockpicking on Nauts...because they're basically sanctioned pirates. Then Bridge Alliance chest has Science...because of course it would. Then i storage the zealot and guard chests until i need them for a specific quest for espionage. Also to note, the hat you start with has +intuition. Keep that basically forever as it's hard to get that stat on gear. At least in the beginning. There's also gloves that offer +1 craftmanship. Keep them in your storage and take it out with the mats to make things. Spiders has a history of making gear give minor boosts to talents in their games. So, a general rule of thumb is to never go 100% into a talent in their games. Because you can always subsidize it with gear. The exception to this being Charisma/Intuition. Those are worth investing all the way since cutscenes and random encounters may deny you the opportunity to equip bonus gear. Same could be said to other stats that may offer options in conversations. But those are generally few and far between. Also, if you choose to go with magic, don't also do guns as part of your hybrid. Guns as a rule of thumb tend to do a lot of armor damage. Which is meaningless to your magic damage (though it does help your team, admittedly). But the main reason is because doing so allows you to sell all the ammo you pick up. Also, not investing into traps and such means you can sell them off. For a first-time playthough you should go with magic and a melee weapon. Magic is easy, affords you more money, and bypasses armor while giving you the best crowd control and dodge. Happy gaming!

Great tips man. I'm about 17 hours in and i've been mostly doing sidequests. You really want to do the character quests. Especially Vasco and Kurt imo because you get a bonus point towards a talent once they're friendly. Also. If you bought the explorer pack like I did in the beginning. You get +1 intuition and craftsmanship from the get go. Both of these things save you talent points

Use the arena to power level. Just shy of 10 hours in and i am lvl30

Sad this game got less then stellar reviews but I am gonna get it. Maybe wait for a sale.

[@AnberlinRoxxforeal]

Tom Brown I think it great! I’m a humongous rpg fan! Anywhere from the Witcher to Xenoblade.

[@DoomWalker42]

@@AnberlinRoxxforeal It reminded me of the Witcher 3 and Dragon Age: Origins but the reviews made me worried. Still a good game though.

@@DoomWalker42 I wouldnt take the bad press too serious. This one moron on xbox said it "lacked a story mode". Another went into great detail about how it wasnt futuristic graphics. Both on Xbox (Ima get it for ps4). The rough reviews seem to come from trolls or morons

[@DoomWalker42]

@@somelonelyshmuck4274 Yeah I always take reviews with a pinch of salt though if it has more bad reviews then good that's saying something. I really want to play it though cause I need a new RPG game. "lacking futuristic graphics" is a lame review, lol. I might get it on PS4 unless I get my PC parts first. I will wait and see.

[@somelonelyshmuck4274]

@@DoomWalker42 Well, do as you will. But if it helps: When I feel hesitant about a game I was previously hyped for I force myself to go for it. When I dont do that I always end up annoyed that I procrastinated my choice. This seems like one ya shouldnt put on hold for too long, especially while it has that flair. Up to you. Merely adding input

Coin arena fifth level third fight with big demon is your friend. You beat it you still get xp for defeating it over and over. 36 fights and I jumped from 8 to lvl 17.

WHAT. This comment section is filled with gold.

I kinda disagree on the Hybrid builds. Certain hybrid builds will work but, at least on higher difficulties, you want the absolute best gear you can get at any given time and you won't get enough attribute points to max out more than 2 stats. By the end of the game you'll probably have around 11 to 13 points, at the very most. My first character for example, was supposed to be a battle mage. To make that work however, i would need mental power for rings, strength or agility for weapons, willpower for amulets and endurance for armor. On top of that, magic doesn't synergize with melee at all as magic damage doesn't destroy armor. I ended up fully commiting to magic, even dropping heavy armor to maximize damage output und mana regen. The rest of the play through went rather smoothly, playing on extreme. TLDR: Don't spread your points across more than 2 or 3 attributes and focus on you main offensive attribute.

[@RougeBladeX09]

My suggestion for getting rich kinda fast in greedfall: Max science and intuition, and then farm beasts. Most beasts drop beast essence and bite, which you can then use to craft greater balance potions at 13 gold a potion. Its really easy to get 50+ potions in a short time if you go into a big wilderness region and start slaughtering everything. I did this on complete accident and now have over 1500 gold. It's not game breaking but it is certainly a weight off of my shoulders.

[@Whippets]

So right about intuition --- unlike charisma there's no roll, if you have the right level of intuition it's no fail dialogue. However I disagree about Magic, just work your way to STORM ASAP --- storm is OP (even at hard or extreme difficulty). Just shadow burst a couple of times and then storm. There are more than enough potions for mana waiting to be picked up, but if you time your fury strikes properly you won't find yourself needing to use that many potions. Also I find the guns (love the multishot ones) better than the 1 handed weapons (IMO), especially in conjunction with lightning dash ---- ... magic, fury, gun shot gives you time to regenerate mana. Re: skills, I didn't put a point in craftsmanship or science --- never made a difference. You can craft a +1 science armor ... and in the game you'll easily find a +1 craftsmanship pair of gloves, +1 Charisma cape and a +1 Intuition hat.

Sees there is 20 mins left till game is done installin starts to watch tip vids. Ultimate strat

[@joelavacot5721]

I’m one point away from getting roll. I think Science is also super important. But the game seems to have ways around the use of bombs or potion crafting but it would still have been super helpful before you leave Old Serene. I agree with you on intuition. Super perk!

[@kevinbonin6173]

Coin arena pays mage class builds. 4-1 can three hit the 4 monsters and gives you great XP for grinding.

[@SmartSpidE52]

Kevin Bonin I killed that demon 5th tier boss at least 40 times so far. Jumped 10 levels and it’s still fun cranking out the achievements. Lol
