ELEX ELEX II - Jax is back

[Nikanuur]

Darth Roxor - It seems the kick works (as in stagger) raliably only when you kick the enemy at the start (middle?) of their attack. Aside from that its outcome seems wildly different. Some enemies recover quickly and often follow with a fast attack, some seem to be staggered, some are pushed away a bit, some loose more stamina some not as much.

Edit: The start of an attack doesn't mean the delay move but the moment the weapon / claw / beak etc. has started to move towards the PC. Hence the failed attempts at parry and kicks. The game baits the player to parry / kick too soon. But you already know that, I am sure. By the way it's quite similar to Darksiders 3 in this regard.

no, i only gave the basic ice bolt a try so far

I suppose you mean the Ice Fist. That one is useless, upgrade to Chain Lightning. WIth that you can take down those late game bullet sponges quite a bit faster compared to regular range attacks. Blizzard is mostly useful for taking out weak mobs in one hit, so pretty useless overall.

Been loving how janky this game is until a hacked colossus spawned inside the ground, game over without noclip.

At the end of the game some NPCs were spawning under the ground for me. It took me a while to "fix" them so I am able to continue the game...

Wow, they just... straight up retconned the Calaan launch silo out of existence



hell's bells this game

How do you equip It? I can choose ice fist or blizzard but the lightning doesn't appear.

 

[Angelo85]

You use Chain Lightning with the Ice Fist skill equipped. IIRC you have to "aim and shoot" like you would with a ranged weapon. So with default controls hold right mouse button + use left mouse button? I already forgot a bit since playing last month.

I actually just waited and it eventually decided the enemy was dead, so actually the quest was well designed to account for this.

Come to think of it, the game did not crash once in ~40 hours.

here's Jax playing the game in a couch with Edér/Aloth, he's impressively bad at it

 

[Darth Roxor]

After lawnmowing Ignadon and Ateris and now proceeding to Tavar, I feel like I've lost a lot of my will to play this game. Ultimately it just feels uninteresting, especially compared to its predecessor. What a disappointment.

[Darth Roxor]

I would really like to finish it first, so... no idea.

5 times at least?

You know, once for every faction, major and minor.

 

[lukaszek]

even if you go factionless

Spoiler

you will still have to pick your favorite and be attacked by other ones lol. Why allow to go factionless in first place then?

I started a factionless with High destruction game but with Cleric low destruction

Spoiler

I used an army of Albs and fight only morkons and rebel robots

What's the longest you can wait until joining a faction before getting locked out?

 

[Nikanuur]

Spoiler

Finally, I've managed to get to the top of the highest skyscraper. I knew there'd be some treasure, and so it has been indeed. Thunderclap shotgun. The damage is insane.

Don't think there'll be a singular event for this. Depends on whatever quests lock you into any other faction or the non-faction approach.

 

[Nikanuur]

Players voicing less or more valid points on Elex being dissapointing or cool...
...me now minding one of the true purposes; becoming the monopoly-owner of cigarette business in the whole Magalan...

But when is it? I read that it happens in Chapter 3. I was just wondering if anyone here could confirm that.

It is made quite clear to you via dialogue from the head honchos when you encounter the point of no return in terms of locking into a faction.
When you speak to the science bro at your homebase and report back, you'll know you're locked out of joining a faction via dialogue as well - or alternatively at the very least after you unlock the achievement for not joining a faction.

there is a quest entry to join a faction. It will fail after exhausting all the dialogue options with old man so you will know it when to load a save

If you mean the quest called "A Common Path" in Chapter 1, that's not the last chance to join a faction. That quest gets cancelled if you advance to Chapter 2 without completing it, but you can still join a faction.
