Art in that comic's looking pretty decent, though it's concerning to me how they're not saying who drew or wrote it.

Gift Bag #5 - The Four Relics Of Rivellon

Hey, everyone!

Today we are releasing our biggest Gift Bag yet, The Four Relics of Rivellon!

As always, it’s delivered directly to your version of D:OS2 and at no extra cost, via an update released alongside this text!

In The Four Relics of Rivellon, you’ll embark upon new quests in search of four ancient armour sets imbued with magical properties. You’ll face new foes, fight brand new fights, and even take on an entirely new Undead Dragon boss. Discover new lore, new loot, and new narration on the hunt for distant relics.

What you see of course depends on the choices you make during your adventure. Be sure to check out the trailer!

The four sets of armour are:

Captain Armour
A set of armour that can dominate the minds of those around you. Each piece also boosts Lucky Charm, Persuasion and Bartering.

Vulture Armour
A light set of armour based off of dwarven rituals. Each part of the set enhances range and damage dealt from higher ground, while the complete set gives the wearer a pair of permanent, vulture-like wings.

Contamination Armour
An ancient set of armour created from magic thought lost long ago. Each piece offers resistance to poison, while the entire set grants immunity to poison along with a special ability to spawn exploding spores that will damage enemies in combat.

Devourer Armour
A set of armour said to make its wearer almost invincible. In combat, the armour will mark a certain target in range. Any attacks on this target cannot miss and will deal extra damage.

The new content will be available in any new game you start and does not affect your achievements.

Remember, if you want exclusive updates on all things Larian, Divinity and Baldur’s Gate 3, make sure you’re signed up to the Larian Gazette at the following link: eepurl.com/gs7nAb

Happy adventures,


The Larian Crew

Where are you supposed to pick up these gift bag armors? I thought I was close to beating the game but there's still one location left.

Quick question, I found the secret location to ascend to divinity. Should I take it or keep going with these trials?

From the latest Larian Gazette:

In the world of Divinity: Original Sin 2, we just released our largest and most exciting Gift Bag DLC yet, completely for free. “The Four Relics of Rivellon” is adding brand-new quest lines, stories and enemies. It has been developed in collaboration with Anshar Studios and Fools Theory. Players will be able to set out on a new adventure, hunting for four armour sets that are scattered all over Rivellon, on quests that feature new voice recording and narration, as well as dastardly new fights, and the Undead Dragon boss.

The reward for completing the new quests is four new armour sets imbued with magical properties.

This Gift Bag already went live earlier today, Sunday 14th, and will be automatically patched in when you load up the game. Don’t forget, if you have DOS2 on Switch and Steam, you can enjoy cross-save progression between the two!

Aaaaand FINALLY *breathes* the official on-line Larian store is finally open for business, but in beta.

It’s here where you can pre-order the Graphic Novel, Board Game, and even the physical Switch version of Divinity: Original Sin 2 which is practically sold out everywhere!

If you’re still with us, I hope you’ve enjoyed the massive amount of news, content, and features from this weekend. We’ll see you very soon, on June 18th!

So, the official combat randomizer mod - yay, or stupid gimmickry?

I haven't really poked around with it much past the first few encounters on starter island. The only one I remember so far is two foes were marked with this bouncing spell effect where end of each of their turns they'd shoot a spell out at each other.

I don't know what it really did past potential damaging anyone caught in between as one of the foes leaped early on behind a wall in the fight so the spells could never really touch each other.

One really lame thing about it though is if you re-load before starting the fight you can re-roll what randomized modifier the encounter has.

The game is still being updated and yet they never implemented a proper Tactician Mode in this game that isn't just "stat bloat mode". They actually did it ok in DOS EE, and then just said fuck it for DOS2 and the difficulty increase boils down to shitty +x% enemy stats.

I am still pissed about that.

Development of multi award-winning RPG Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition for iPad revealed during WWDC 2020

DUBLIN, 2020 - Larian Studios is excited to announce that the team behind the Metacritic Must-Play RPG Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition is working with Apple and Elverils on an Apple iPad port of the game. The project was revealed as a key title driving demos in this year’s WWDC event.

In a video for developers about Xcode12 and Metal Apps released during WWDC 2020, Apple showcased the new iPad version of the BAFTA award-winning adventure from Larian Studios. The team is working on adding all-new touch screen controls and UIs as well as adding controller support. Though the port is a long way from release, Larian is excited to iterate together with some of the top minds in Apple and iPad development. Elverils helmed the already released MacOS version of Divinity: Original Sin 2.

Originally released to critical acclaim on PC, Divinity: Original Sin 2 received a 93 Metacritic rating, and is currently one of only a handful of games to receive a 10/10 from Gamespot. It was released for the Nintendo Switch last year, featuring cross save progression with Steam.

What’s shown in the WWDC video in terms of features on the menu are not 100% final, and the full list of features will be announced at a later date.

Join the battle for Divinity in a world that reacts to who you are, and what you do. Adventure as a flesh-eating Elf, or an imperial Lizard. Play as a mighty Dwarf, or lead your party as an Undead, risen from the grave!

■ Choose your race and origin. Choose from 6 unique origin characters with their own backgrounds and quests, or create your own hero as a Human, Lizard, Elf, Dwarf, or Undead. All choices have consequences.

■ Unlimited freedom to explore and experiment. Go anywhere, talk to anyone, and interact with everything! Kill any NPC without sacrificing your progress, and speak to every animal. Even ghosts might be hiding a secret or two…

■ The next generation of turn-based combat. Blast your opponents with elemental combinations. Use height to your advantage. Master over 200 skills in 12 skill schools. But beware - the game’s AI 2.0 is our most devious invention to date.

■ Up to four-player online cooperative gameplay for the entire game, spanning over 100 hours of award-winning narrative.



Earlier in June, during this year’s Guerrilla Collective Showcase, the studio released the latest Gift Bag for the critically acclaimed RPG. The free DLC “The Four Relics of Rivellon” is the largest Gift Bag for the game so far, adding brand-new quest lines, stories and enemies.

Players will be able to set out on a new adventure, hunting for four armour sets that are scattered all over Rivellon, on quests that feature new voice recording and narration, as well as dastardly new fights, and the Undead Dragon boss. The reward for completing the new quests is four new armour sets imbued with magical properties.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition is also available on PC, Mac, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Information about the release date for Divinity: Original Sin 2 – Definitive Edition for iPad will be announced at a later date.

Pretty sure you can't do console -> PC, but you can do PC -> PC.

A friend who was hosting a game sent me the save files when he was unable to host for a few days and I was able to load them up and continue.

Dunno how tablet -> PC will work, but if it's the same version... probably?

I have PC > Mac and it does work. I believe one of the GTA games or Baldur's Gate mobile versions work with the PC save files but I never tested it.

You need to start a new game to use them. Luckily for me, I just bought the game yesterday.

Being ported to all possible platforms, I mean. (Also it sells like a hot cake for the genre, practically sets the new commercial standard of turn-based RPGs as Skyrim did to AA/AAA RPGs.)

I beat the game, that ending was anticlimactic, who cares about Braccus Rex? Why did I have to fight the Krakken again? Also did not expect the full info dump from Lucian at the end and the lack of god king boss fight is eh.

Yes, the final boss enemies had huge health bloat of enemies which caught me off guard. All in all, I enjoyed most of it.

Started a new game with the new updates and playing on tactician on regular. I'm using the gift bag option of increased movement speed and unlimited spirit vision. New playthrough this time with beast and sebille because I left them out my first playthrough.

I might try that reduce bloat mod.
