Using Ridiculous Strategies in Divinity Original Sin 2 | Fort Joy

[@Fracture.Gaming]

Thanks so much everybody for your kind and encouraging words!!! I've decided that I'll definitely be making a part 2 video in Driftwood. Beyond act 2 I'm unsure because my friend group, myself included, haven't played past Act 2 at all yet! It'll be a bit before I get the part 2 video out because when I decided to try making videos I promised myself I'd do 4 different games to start so I could learn what my style is and push myself to improve. The good news is I'm loving it so far & learning new things every day! Thanks again for watching, I truly appreciate it!

[@AwesomeXavy]

Let's see what else you have in store for us. Let me be subscriber 417

[@buttqueef9900]

Act 3 and 4 are fairly short comparatively and easy to learn. No spoilers :)

[@zaldun8679]

amazing work mate, love the editing and commentary! Keep up the great work king Edit: Also i have zero doubts you could easily beat them but the magister hound master, and kniles intentionally? or missed them, really fun fights so curious what kinda strats you woulda pulled out of the bag if there's any leftover after all of this insanity

[@Heldojin]

Take all the Time you Need! Dos2 is just fucking Amazing, im learning tons of Cheesestrats + other routes and playling atm 3 different Savefiles :D There is so much you can do, can't wait for Act 2. (Even if it takes weeks, i will be here!)

[@Fracture.Gaming]

@@zaldun8679 haha I started to run out of original ideas with the skills available to me. I think for the houndmaster I just bolted them all down with crossbows after jumping my characters to the high ground. Same with Kniles. Since that was what I did for the voidwoken deep dweller I thought it would be too repetitive. Luckily I'll get a ton of new skills in Act 2 to use!

[@Squamata043]

Wow, it never occurred to me to ever try to fight Dallis in fort joy. I'm amazed they accounted for that and had her do that transformation.

[@Fracture.Gaming]

I can't remember if I cut it mentioning it from the video or not, but she drops her mace too! Its a pretty strong weapon to have early game. You also get an achievement on steam for it

[@sethmcadams6057]

You can cheese her by dropping a deathfog barrel on him and killing those two geists for big xp!

[@markjones1166]

Used to be really easy to do with a Skelton character, you'd use the death fog from the ship Now I think you can't do that or it became harder, the kraken explodes everything too quick now

[@Elegiast]

@@markjones1166 Death Fog is how I did it too. I was playing with a friend and I went “Wait a second, I can walk through this stuff.” And had us reload so I could try picking up the barrels. I think I got three? Maybe just two. I still have one in my inventory.

[@Y-elloWorld]

I did fight Dallis with Spiffing Brit strategy, stacking barrels inside the unbreakable chest then attack the enemies by using telekenesis to drop the chest to the enemy, although it only works with the an enemy that doesn't reflect physical damage, I did that with an enemy who can reflect physical damage and it one shot me 😆😆😆

[@Ianwhale15]

That was a amazing video. For your first major video you should be very proud. Would love to see more of this cheese in act 2.

[@Fracture.Gaming]

Thanks so much for watching and for your kind words!

[@arfarfcore3320]

“This is my first full length video” Coulda fooled me. This was a very well put together and entertaining video, thank you

[@Fracture.Gaming]

glad you liked it :)

[@TheHumbleHollow]

Divinity is so deep and has so many interesting mechanics that I honestly don't even think that we can say most of these are cheats. The Barrelmancy in particular seems like they intended players to start destroying enemies with sheer weight alone

[@Fracture.Gaming]

Yeah the line between exploit and strategy can be pretty murky in Divinity, and that makes it really fun! Everybody can play their own way

[@TheHumbleHollow]

@@Fracture.Gaming yeah, funnily enough the entire reason that I got into Divinity was that combat is so versatile. I've always disliked turn based combat, and despised RNG that allows an opponent to dodge an attack, but divinity is great because while you can miss a basic attack, that isn't your only option at all. You CAN teleport an opponent into lava. You CAN use lightning on your opponent's blood to shock them with their own fluids. You CAN stand around for an hour slowly getting your incarnates to do all of the work.

[@Canadian_Zac]

Its like the epitome of a Video game replicating a TTRPG Asking your GM if you can do something insane, and the GM of Divinity is just like '.... Lets do it!' Every single time

[@greasyweeb]

I cant believe I've never fully paid attention to Beast's song while he's working on the boat lmao

[@ClouduSan]

I'm heartbroken seeing how easy he made these gruesome fights look... My first Alexander fight was so intense and he just drops a chest on him until he dies lmao 10/10 video 11/10 relationship jokes at 18:10-19:25 haha

[@Fracture.Gaming]

My first Alexander fight was also extremely intense! And I’m so glad you liked the jokes, I was on the fence about whether people would hate me for those…

[@trigfunction]

my strategy for that fight on tactician mode was to just teleport alexander into the middle of my full party, cast dome of protection for continuous armor regen and mug him with physical attacks until the worm shows up to finish the job. Not quite as cheesy as this strategy but still, it was absolutely braindead and still somehow worked lmao

[@NecklineArmada]

Popping in here because I saw the link to this in the new video! Very cool to see the origins of your challenge runs, love to see the creativity in this community 🤘

[@sapinta]

This was a lot of fun, please do act 2 too. My favourite early days silly mode of winning boss fights, was the guy who killed Alexander by only smashing him with those giant portraits of himself that are all around fort joy.

[@Fracture.Gaming]

I'll definitely be doing act 2, though it will be a bit before I can get to it. And killing Alexander with his own portrait sounds amazing, I love that idea!

[@Derakon_]

Your video is entertaining. Your editing and style made the video such a blast that I didn't even realise I just watched a 40 mins long video! I actually didn't check how long it was initially. I was so entertained I just kept watching.

[@acheronwows4644]

Awesome video :) If you want another fun strategy, perhaps for a future episode: Shackle of pain can transfer damage that you take from healing as an undead. A bottle of beer heals 20%. If you put all your points in constitution, take 5 star diner, at level 20ish you can be dealing over 5000 damage per beer. Kill enemies by drinking beers! Maybe not as insane as some of the strategies you showed but I definitely got a kick out of it when I first figured it out.

[@SecretSilverLining]

Would love to see an act 2! This was shockingly good for a first go, you've got a talent mate!

[@Fracture.Gaming]

Thanks so much! I promised myself when I started that I'd do 4 different games, but after that I plan to come back and get act 2 started! Game video #3 posts tomorrow.

[@alextrollip7707]

Big ups to this. Crazy ideas, great commentary. And an amazing game that allows it. Great stuff.

[@Fracture.Gaming]

Thanks! Yeah this game really gives you the freedom to play how you want, I love it so much!

[@anthonygodbout2077]

this is genuialy the best divinity 2 video ive ever seen. I have played over 700 hours of this game and you still surprised me with your creativity ! Great work!

[@Fracture.Gaming]

I'm super happy to hear it, thank you :) I have 350 hours and haven't even gotten out of act 2 yet... hard to get consistent friend groups to play with and haven't wanted to bolt through it solo!

[@alvernepaiva3287]

@@Fracture.Gaming LOL, wanna play divinity 2 friend ?

[@deadlysoupy]

holy moly that was amazing!! i dropped my jaw a couple of times over the actual insanity of these fights. i played dos2 to 100% and didn't even know you could do things like that. incredibly satisfying, would watch act 2

[@m1sterpunch]

No matter what I see in this game that i'm surprised by there's always a more ridiculous way to do it. This video is proof. The devs must love how thoughtful and creative people are with the deep mechanics. I guarantee they watch these videos. Well done.

[@murielledunand7477]

watching this series because of the new video, love it!

[@tunakim7032]

this genuinely made me laugh so hard. this was so entertaining and brilliant! can't believe this is your first full video on this channel. i loved it!! great stuff

[@TheCourteousKurt]

The unstable + constitution combo is such a creative idea! It’s actually tempting me to build a teammate like that 🤣 just a walking bomb. Subbed

[@NummyNoodles]

I'm surprised you didn't use the strat to grab the deathfog barrel from the tutorial to drop on dallas when they are doing the rp at the gate, i think if you sneak around the right side you can climb up the ladder and drop it down, it'll one shot everyone down there lol.

[@Fracture.Gaming]

I may or may not have all 3 of those deathfog barrels sitting in a chest, just waiting to be brought into act 2.

[@tazdpwns]

@@Fracture.Gaming smart man

[@T3hIluvatar]

I tried this recently, but for some reason gheists are immune to deathfog and will murder you after dallis dips out

That was one of the most fun I've had watching a DOS2 video. Amazing content. Hope to see more!!!!

[@Fracture.Gaming]

Thanks so much! The first half of act 2 is posted and I’m committed to at least finishing our act 2 :) After that I’m not sure because I want to experience acts 3 and 4 for the first time with friends and my group hasn’t found time to play together for ages…

[@The_Totes_Adorbs]

Sir, I give continuous enthusiastic praise for your efforts. DM's all over the world are seething at you cheesing their campaigns in seconds what they spend months building.

[@calumnagle6743]

[@seanstone749]

Wow, geuinely really great content. Been looking for this kinda funny satire in a Divinity video, pure gold

[@Fracture.Gaming]

I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it!!

[@Kid2590]

This is fucking amazing. Please do more of these. I didn't even know you could fight Dallis that early or that she was a dragon!!!

[@Fracture.Gaming]

I'll definitely be doing an Act 2 video (or videos to maybe get them more in the 20-30 minute range). My plan right now is to make 3 more Hogwarts Legacy videos, then do Act 2 for Divinity!

[@tcgoober]

Most fun playthrough for me was doing an unmasked undead run. Had to kill everything everywhere I went. Was an experience

[@MrProboina]

Amazing! That game is ment to be cheesed, and yet you even managed to make a real proper ambush! That's impressive and I want more!

[@MultiWolfLink]

For this being your first video I'm over the moon that I found you!!! Love your voice, the editing, your humor, I can't wait to see your channel take off!!!

[@Fracture.Gaming]

Thanks so much! It would be crazy if this could be my actual job someday, lol... until then I'll get the videos out as much as I can :)

[@fasdfsdfasdfasdf7173]

Amazing video man. I love the creativity. I would also love a more thorough explanation of what we are doing, how things work, what build you are running etc.

[@Fracture.Gaming]

I'll try to break it down better in the next video! I think doing all of act 1 as a single video was too much, I felt like I had to trim a LOT out to stop it from being an hour and a half long...

[@donniecesar232]

Great videos, I'm looking forward to the next monkey strategies in DOS2. :D

[@Fracture.Gaming]

Yay! I'll definitely be doing an act 2 video, hopefully it won't be too long until then!

[@gabrielemarasco1866]

This is the content i've been looking for since the release of the game.

[@Fracture.Gaming]

Thanks for the encouragement, I'm glad you enjoyed the video!!

[@gabrielmalmqvist9061]

Actually some of the best Divinity content i have seen on youtube. On par with the spiffing brits telekinesis video, you probably won't see this but seriously, amazing work with the video!

[@Fracture.Gaming]

I actually watched his video a lot during the making of this one to try and see what he did well that I thought would fit my style! His ability to take just one concept and stretch it into that long of an entertaining video is impressive, and something I don't think I could manage... at least not yet. I'll keep getting better at my storytelling though, so maybe some day! And I think I'm actually up to date on 100% of video comments right now! Yours is my last response before going to bed :)

[@GreenPeteTV]

This was super creative and makes me want to plaz the game again after soooo long just because how beautifully complex it is

[@itachicoolest]

First time I've been recommended such a good video with so few views, looking forward to the next act!

[@Fracture.Gaming]

I'm so happy you found it, it'll be a bit but I'll definitely do the next act!

Not gonna lie i expected a "Keeping it together, Bree?" at the end lol 10/10 vid I love how this game can cheese the fights.

I was totally ready to skip the entire section on Slane when I found out what was happening... And then the beat kicked in. You're a bastard for that one, not gonna lie.

[@Fracture.Gaming]

mmm yeah that beat is amazing. Poor Slane. I did him dirty

[@shane3744]

The creativity in each fight was amazing. It totally changed how I thought about the environment in fights.

[@Fracture.Gaming]

I love how they gave us the freedom to play how we want in this game, it makes it so amazing!

[@TheScathed]

Excellent video. Very entertaining. Keep it up. My go-to cheese for Alexandar is to teleport him into the Seeker Camp. Causes all of them to aggro on him while his bodyguards scramble to try to save their leader.

[@hitlord]

Gotta admit, that Totem strategy in the beginning was beautiful. The only one in the video that I never thought of trying. Also, I had no idea Dallis woud nope out like that in the early skirmishes. (I'm actually not sure if she does that when the ship gets attacked, as I never managed to take her down there as well.) The cons of refusing to play not as True Lone Wolf I guess. Some things will always be beyond my reach. And just as an added P.S., don't worry about making long videos. You did great for this one, can't see it going any poorly.

[@Fracture.Gaming]

Haha thanks :) I started working on the next video today (just brainstorming fights and strats so far) but I'm definitely going to be forcing boat Dallis to flee (I'm also assuming she won't die and will run instead).

[@Keor-x8l]

As a french person, I reckon this is good cheese !

[@Pompin]

Great video, I would love to see you do a video in act 2 aswell! Perhaps you could oneshot something big with the explosion caused by the tinker guy in Driftwood, he blows himself up if you turn on him at the end

Both Radeka and the Voidwoken Deep-Dweller died to Fane’s bow. Run failed. 😜 For real, though, this was amazing. I’ve been playing this game for years and didn’t know about half this stuff.

[@BlastedCharacterLimi]

The last trick is a classic, but your choice of contents was a nice touch

[@vroknyr4592]

Another strategy you could use for slane is to kill him in one turn through incarnates, theres a vine ladder not far from him on top of it you can summon an incarnate just withing aggro range but the summoner never enters combat allowing you to continuously re-summon the incarnate which puts it last in combat order but if you dont end its turn the nest incarnate spawns before the last one despawns allowing for you to kill him in one turn. (Recommend putting an elemental surface down so the incarnate is buffed and has a ranged attack when it spawns) Edit: thought I'd mention that if you buff the incarnate while it's in combat the summoner will be dragged in combat regardless if distance which can break the loop if you're not careful
