The presbytery doesn't react to the cross fragments, but to a book that comes with the first one.I've started playing this a while ago (sometime last year I think) and kinda lost interest while still in the first city.
Decided to pick it up again, this time put a little more effort into getting used to the interface (it's a bit clunky tbh), and now I've got 14 hours in it and am close to the final boss fight.
The first area was the hardest, as you're very squishy at the start and the first dungeon level has mostly undead, which you can only harm while blessed. Very tough beginning... but you can easily grind in the arena by auto-playing the easiest battle once you're tough enough to survive that. I got myself one or two levelups that way.
I like how important items are in this game. Better equipment is going to increase your character's power exponentially.
The toughest areas for me were the first two dungeon levels, but after that the game became pretty easy as my knight and archer just completely wipe the floor with the enemy.
As soon as my archer got that arrow storm ability that lets you hit all enemies at once, she could insta-delete most enemy mobs.
And when she got that unique elven bow, even tougher enemies fell easily.
And now my knight got the berserk ability, which means anyone in melee range who survives my archer's volley is gonna be toast lol.
Fighters and archers are so useful, my casters feel like dead weight in combat. They're great for utility - I need the priest to heal and the sorceresses to cast teleport, jump, and that phasing through walls spell. But when it comes to actual combat potential, even their best spells (which cost runes or holy water) pale in comparison to the raw damage dealt by archer and knight.
The best part about it is the exploration, with plenty of secrets to discover, area traversal magic coming in use plenty of times, etc. I dug up two pieces of a cross but didn't find the third (upper part), but apparently the part I didn't find is the one you're supposed to find first, according to threads on the Steam forums. I went to that presbytery in the dwarf city and the woman there just sends me away. I read that she's supposed to give you a quest if you show her one of the cross pieces, but because I'm missing the piece that's supposed to be the first you discover, she doesn't react to me at all (even though I have two pieces). Charles-cgr pls look into this, seems like a bug/oversight.
Having a lot of fun with this game, and really looking forward to the sequel. Charles-cgr pls finish it I need my fix.
Thanks for the kind words JarlFrank . Sovereign development is quite the roller coaster but I'm finishing it someday.
One of the massive hurdles was upgrading to GMS2. I'm still seeing issues pop up but it had to be done. GMS1 no longer being supported suggested a disaster in the making and having to do the upgrade with the game not working anymore.
