Divinity 2 How To Use Telekinesis

Okay, let's talk about telekinesis in Divinity: Original Sin 2. Sounds fancy, right? Like something straight out of a superhero movie. And honestly, it kind of is! Think of it as your in-game superpower for being a lazy genius. Ever wished you could grab the TV remote from across the room without getting up? Well, in Rivellon, you basically can!

Why Should You Even Bother?

Seriously, why bother learning telekinesis? Because it's hilariously useful, that's why! Forget meticulously crafting the perfect key or spending hours lockpicking. See that chest sitting precariously on a ledge? Telekinesis! Need to disarm a trap from a safe distance? Telekinesis! Want to move a pile of heavy barrels to crush your enemies in a fiery explosion? ...Okay, maybe that's a bit extreme, but yes, telekinesis!

Think of it like this: you're baking a cake (a really explosive cake, apparently, considering the barrel example). You could painstakingly measure out each ingredient, following the recipe to the letter. Or... you could just chuck everything in the bowl and hope for the best. Telekinesis is like the latter, but with a much higher chance of success, and significantly more explosions.

The Basics: Getting Started with Telekinesis

First things first, you need to learn the Telekinesis skill. You can find it on various armor pieces or learn it from a skillbook. Keep your eyes peeled while exploring and trading. Remember that one time you found that perfect sweater at the thrift store? Finding the telekinesis skillbook is kinda like that... but way more useful for goblin-squashing.

Once you've got the skill, add it to your hotbar. Now, for the fun part! Target the object you want to move. Make sure you have enough Strength to lift it. Think of Strength as your telekinetic muscle power. Too weak? You’ll just strain yourself and look silly (which, granted, can be entertaining in its own way). If you don't have enough Strength, consider boosting it with gear, potions, or just leveling up.

Click the Telekinesis skill, and then click again where you want the object to go. Boom! Instant object relocation. It’s that simple! Just like ordering pizza online – point, click, wait (okay, maybe not wait in the game, objects move pretty quickly).

Telekinesis: Beyond the Obvious

So, you can move objects. Big deal, right? Wrong! Telekinesis has all sorts of sneaky applications. For example:

• Stealing with Style: "Accidentally" move items from shops right into your backpack while the shopkeeper's back is turned. It's not technically stealing if you're just... rearranging the furniture, right? (Disclaimer: It's probably still stealing. But it's stylish stealing).
• Trap Disarming: Spot a pressure plate trigger? No problem! Telekinetically move a nearby object onto it, disarming the trap without risking your face. Think of it as playing Minesweeper, but with a higher chance of actually succeeding.
• Environmental Puzzles: Many puzzles require you to move objects to specific locations. Telekinesis makes these puzzles a breeze. Remember those infuriating block-sliding puzzles from other games? Yeah, telekinesis laughs in the face of those puzzles.
• Combat Advantage: As we hinted at earlier, you can strategically move explosive barrels or heavy objects to create devastating traps for your enemies. It's like playing a twisted game of chess, but with explosions.

Pro Tips for Telekinetic Masters

Ready to take your telekinesis game to the next level? Here are a few pro tips:

• Range Matters: The further away the object is, the harder it is to move. Try to get closer for better control.
• Line of Sight is Key: You need a clear line of sight to the object you're trying to move. Walls and other obstructions will block your telekinetic powers.
• Experiment! The beauty of Divinity 2 is the freedom to experiment. Try moving different objects in different situations to discover new and creative uses for telekinesis.

So, there you have it! Telekinesis in Divinity: Original Sin 2 is more than just a cool party trick. It's a versatile tool that can make your life easier, your battles more strategic, and your adventures more fun. Now go forth and become the telekinetic master you were always meant to be! And maybe, just maybe, you'll finally get that TV remote without having to leave the couch.
