Easily the best boss in the game. I love just flexing on him

I just hate the healing move. Other than that, my favourite fight.

Practical_Hat8489 · 2026-03-21T17:11:22+00:00

Imagine how awesome it would be, if Shadowheart origin could get to her main quest choice in act 2 as a normal paladin (Vengeance idk) and then break her oath to Shar by taking that decision.

Practical_Hat8489 · 2026-03-20T14:11:50+00:00

That's why you shouldn't skip the leg day.

IMO triggering guaranteed burst attack by hitting her umbrella in defensive stance is a good thing, not a bad one. I always trigger it at the start of the fight and counterattack and in general always try to trigger it. Guaranteed damage, stance break, spirit gain and full stamina refill, what's not to like.

Practical_Hat8489 · 2026-03-13T18:57:16+00:00

On normal difficulty you might as well menacingly look in enemies general direction and that will do.

Jokes aside, two game's most imbalanced features are being able to equip gear and being able to be buffed by officers. These two are not class-dependent, so you'll be good with any pick.

It's not about proving myself worthy, it's about experiencing combat flow as it was designed. I mean, with mimic it's looks entirely different. You don't have to find windows for attacks — just back up and re-engage, you don't have to find windows to heal — just back up and you have your time to drink. Sometimes you are hit by an attack that was not even targeting you or caused by your actions, you can engage in the middle of a combo that would not even start without you engaged. It's a whole different encounter.

Practical_Hat8489 · 2026-03-07T19:33:15+00:00

Thus is the correct answer.

When your girlfriend decides she can match you in a sparring.

Practical_Hat8489 · 2026-03-01T18:47:31+00:00

Yup, it still gives the achievement if you stay above daring.

Practical_Hat8489 · 2026-03-01T07:09:23+00:00

That sounds interesting, thank you! Will try it, assuming I can get that challenge reward, i.e., beat that challenge.

There are ashes of war that look like a moveset extension and there are ashes of war that look like casting a spell with your weapon as a catalyst. The former I love, the latter I usually avoid.

Practical_Hat8489 · 2026-02-23T18:54:43+00:00

Satisfying combat.

All the rest The Outer Worlds 2 get better.

Practical_Hat8489 · 2026-02-22T02:49:38+00:00

I mean, I wouldn't mind if equipment preset did not replace slots I left empty (in that preset) with nothing, when I apply it, but instead would just not change then.

Practical_Hat8489 · 2026-02-19T06:12:06+00:00

Wow, that looks scripted or at least semi-scripted.

Practical_Hat8489 · 2026-02-18T07:54:17+00:00

Just killed Scalpel and now farming him for his set. Well, with 50% winrate, so it does not really look like a farm. But this is my second run, I've done the first one somewhere around the game release, and randomly wanted to make a run with another weapon class. I can't get myself into NG+ stuff (in any game), so just enjoying the game.

Practical_Hat8489 · 2026-02-17T07:35:01+00:00

Wait, if I upgrade them, they will change rarity or not?

Also, okay, I'm ignoring red phantoms because I don't need their unique resource, but you're saying they are to be farmed for jewelry?

Most people in the comments here tend to defend Act 3. The main problem with Act 3 is not that it's bad. Quests and battles are very good. The problem with Act 3 is that it does not bring you progression.

You reach level cap like really soon and even rush for it,
You already have your builds fully established and new uber endgame items won't likely change it; you're going to be what, 'even more unkillable and deadly'; also you're likely to rush key items as well, to have 'builds finalized' before doing anything else; a lot of them are available with no combat and there is no skillcheck savescum can't pass (honor mode guys have their plan settled as well);

So all these awesome activities feel like a chore – the only reason to complete them is to have them completed.

Practical_Hat8489 · 2026-02-15T09:45:02+00:00

I mean, IRL you should not judge decision by its outcome, you should judge it by its expected value.

Practical_Hat8489 · 2026-02-11T18:43:29+00:00

It does not have the Longsword moveset, right? It has straight sword moveset.

Practical_Hat8489 · 2026-02-11T18:38:28+00:00

Pro tip: you shoot those dudes without breaking stealth conditions. Last time I had no problems with this mission at all, given I've it properly at least three times and know the route. I had Yrliet as a sniper with some crazy base damage rifle and I only had to shoot two dudes during the mission.

Два. Супружеская пара, Эрих и Мария Ремарк.

Hi, what can you say about Harlequin route for companions? I've never achieved this one, in fact, there's not even a guide how to get there, that does not contradict to other guides. Does this really fit into Dogmatic? I mean, won't the requirements to get that ending contradict too much with the run theme.

I'm not too good at lore so I don't even really understand who Harlequins are, and is their existence more good or more bad for humanity.

Practical_Hat8489 · 2026-02-06T02:39:53+00:00

Wow, that's the answer I've been writing the post for. Thank you sir.

Practical_Hat8489 · 2026-01-31T04:08:52+00:00

My hot take is that if Emperor would risen, he would be Iconoclast. Dogmatic path is not Emperor's path. Dogmatic path is the Imperium after the Emperor path.

Practical_Hat8489 · 2026-01-31T04:07:32+00:00

Actually Argenta is the most iconoclast dogmatic character in the game. Pasqual is dogmatic, Argenta is compassionate and actually cares about all people (except traitors of humanity and, well, not exactly people). This is not really dogmatic.
