Best tip in the game is to go find the *Sunglasses* atop a Windmill between Abessa's Domed City and the npc Raddok. They will make all loot in the game much more visible so that you can scavenge like crazy from the get go. Otherwise you will miss a ton of random loot that's scattered everywhere throughout the game.

Mid to late game maxing Animal Trophy is a priority, especially if you want to fast track yourself to be an OP beast, slayer of all things.

With Animal Trophy 3 you will get anywhere from 1 to 6 Natural Elex from killing any mutant, and the larger mechs. If you have the recipes Elex and Strong Elex potions which give you +2 Attribute points permanently for the standard potion and +1 Perk point for the large. Each Elex Potion has 2 recipes except the small which has 1.

Strong Elex potions will require

10 Natural Elex, and I believe 4 Liqueur (easy AF to get)

or

5 Elex, 1 Elex Potion, and I believe 2 Liqueur (Liqueur is very easy to get so I don't really keep track of how much of it you need to make them)

Elex Potions on the other hand require

4 Natural Elex, and 2 Liqueur

or

2 Small Elex potions (might require 1 Liqueur as well I don't remember off the top of my head)


Usually after an about an hour or 2 of roaming and farming mutants and Alb's I'll have enough Natural Elex for about 2 or so levels worth of Skill points, or about 3 levels worth of perks.

Lastly selling off materials is also incredibly profitable, without glitches or anything you can just sleep for a couple days and roam a repopulated map for an hour or 2 and gather upwards of 20K+ in resources to be sold. which will be incredibly useful, late game a full set of Paladin armor from the Berserker faction will cost you almost 30K Elexit, and enchanting tier 3 upgraded weapons costs like 9K a pop.

I assume these numbers are about the same for all three factions.

thank you so much for all these vidoes, bought the game when it was released on the xbox one but I never got around to playing it. after the xbox one x update came out i decided to give it a shot and was getting wrecked constantly. all the vids you made explained everything perfectly and now im having a great time, its very underrated game and wish more people gave it a chance.

Good vid but you had some spoilers about the story near the end... A couple of tips from me: 1) get the Adventurer's amulet during the prologue (google for location) and then obtain the PICK POCKET skill in the first city ASAP. I found this to be the easiest way to make money, which can then be used to make elex potions to level up your character attributes much faster. Just save frequently and steal from everyone you can in each city. You'll average about 50 elexit each! 2) the cleric follower sucks, he's the weakest one and basically worthless so avoid him and use one of the others. 3) early on you MUST QUEST to level up quickly, don't spend time fighting mobs b/c the XP just isn't there. this is basically the case throughout the game but most important early when you are very weak. final PRO TIP, you can clear multiple high level enemies by kiting other enemies to them (such as kiting mutant monsters into the human outlaws/reavers). they'll start fighting each other and weaken/kill each other and then you can clean up what's left! works very well in this game.

One little thing annoyed me the most when playing this game, not the bugs, not the difficulty, not the clunky controls but the lighting: when you enter a building the screen goes black then light comes back gradually (like at 6:25), it's only lasts a second but it's most horrible lighting effect I've ever experienced in a game.

Gothic with jet packs, and it’s just as fun as that implies!

[rosscopicoltrane]

Thanks I’m late to the party but am really loving this game. Old school in all the best ways and even the goofy npc voices.

[timyton]

Thanks man, your video gave some helpful tips, the game is a grind but getting there slowly. Thanks again.

[VladProdigious]

Good advice, Click.

I've had my companions bug out this way a lot. Sometimes I'm not really sure if they're supposed to not help me because I'm meant to win the fight on my own in that particular quest, or if it's a bug. But like I said in jest above, somehow I always manage in spite of this and other bugs - or most other bugs, at least - and I really, really do love this game.

The one thing I like about this game is the steady power climb. At first you're super weak but as you get better stats and better equipment you hit a point where you're raiding camps and actually winning. When you do that for the first time it feels very good. It took me like 16 hours to start to feel competent but im nowhere near strong yet

[Amfibios]

Watched until 0:40, saw the IGN joke, hit LIKE.

[t-revs_taste_tube]

Found your tube cuz of your outward videos but saw you played Elex too such an awesome game

[grantchoitz]

I picked this up to complete my Piranhabytes collection on Steam and I am sooo excited to delve into it more, I've only played a little over an hour but I am thoroughly enjoying the world building and dialogue. I really hope with the Gothic 1 remake they take some ideas from this game for controls, because I remember OG Gothic controls on PC were a bitch.

In Gothic and Risen you could take enemies weapons but not armour(which might make sense since armour needs to fit) but in Elex you can't even take weapons.

[SubieNinja]

GET A they are a massive game changer. between being able to block almost all damage and being able to knock down enemies with a shield bash its a HUGE help

[thesittingtraveller]

For Duras, i discovered you can just question Garon, the hunter south of Goliet, than talk to Duras about Garon he is allowed to follow you.

man the skill where you get more health fromm food is CRITICAL! you get like 3x the health from every piece of food. Also the more stamina and more health from each level. Got those and armor skill by level 4. world of difference

[zephyrblue]

Thanks, great advise. I like the way you say, "idiots" too. LOL...yep.

[SSchithFoo]

If we can give commands to companions to use ranged weapons or melee that would be great. Some idiots have extremely powerful guns but decide to go melee and get stunned.
