How To Get Rid Of Curse Divinity 2
Alright, folks, let's talk about curses! Specifically, those pesky curses that plague you in the wonderfully complex world of Divinity: Original Sin 2. Ever feel like your party's stumbled onto some bad mojo? Like maybe they accidentally kicked a black cat inside a pyramid during a solar eclipse? Yeah, that's probably a curse. And getting rid of them? Well, that's where the fun begins.
Think of it like this: curses are like that annoying song that gets stuck in your head, except instead of making you hum off-key, they're making you, I don't know, take extra fire damage or something equally unpleasant. We definitely want to get rid of them.
Why Bother Removing Curses Anyway?
Good question! Why should you care if your character is cursed? Aren't they tough enough to handle a little… inconvenience? Well, let's just say curses aren't exactly minor inconveniences. They can seriously mess with your gameplay.
Must Read
- Stat Penalties: Curses often come with stat reductions. We're talking strength, intelligence, maybe even your precious wits getting dinged. And nobody wants less wits, right?
- Elemental Vulnerabilities: Suddenly, you're taking double damage from fire? Or maybe water is now your mortal enemy? Ouch!
- Reduced Resistances: Fighting a poison-happy enemy? A curse could make you ridiculously susceptible.
- Just Plain Annoying Effects: Some curses just make life difficult. Think blurred vision, constant pain, or even involuntary teleportation. Imagine trying to strategize a tough fight when you keep randomly blinking across the battlefield!
In short, curses are like having a flat tire on the road to godhood. You can still drive, but it's gonna be a bumpy, slow, and potentially disastrous ride. So, let's get that tire changed, shall we?
The Coolest Ways to Lift Those Pesky Curses
Okay, so you're convinced. Curses are bad. Now, how do we banish them back to whatever shadowy dimension they crawled out of? Here are a few reliable methods:
1. Bless: Your All-Purpose Curse-B-Gone
Ah, Bless. It's like the WD-40 of Divinity: Original Sin 2. Stuck door? Use Bless. Need to put out a fire? Bless. Got a curse? You guessed it, Bless!
Bless is a source skill, meaning you'll need source points to use it. Source points are that magical juice you gather throughout your adventures, usually by interacting with Source fountains or absorbing Source from corpses (a little grim, but hey, it's Rivellon!).
Once you have some source, simply target the cursed character or area with Bless, and poof! Curse be gone! It's like the magical equivalent of hitting the "undo" button on life's mistakes.
Pro Tip: Rain + Bless can create Blessed Water, which can heal and remove status effects. Think of it as a magical spa day for your party.
2. The Power of Source Vampirism
Okay, this one is a little… darker. Source Vampirism is a skill that lets you absorb Source from corpses. The twist? It also removes curses! It's kind of like paying your dues to the universe to get rid of bad karma.
You get Source Vampirism later in the game, so this isn’t an early-game solution. When you get it you can use it on bodies to rip source from them and remove curses.
3. Divine Intervention: Calling in the Big Guns
Need a heavy hitter when it comes to curse removal? Then you will want to use Divine Intervention. A last resort that will save your life when you are running low on options.
Divine Intervention is another Source skill, but it's even more potent than Bless. It doesn't just remove curses; it can also heal, restore armor, and buff your party. Think of it as calling in a tactical nuke of goodness.
The downside? It costs a hefty chunk of Source points, and it has a long cooldown. So, save it for when things are really dire. Like when you're facing a giant, undead, fire-breathing dragon with a penchant for cursing everything in sight.
4. Certain Items and Special Circumstances
Sometimes, the solution to a curse isn't a skill, but a specific item or situation. Keep an eye out for:
- Amulets and Rings: Some magical trinkets offer curse resistance or even outright curse removal. Think of them as tiny, portable anti-curse shields.
- Unique Encounters: Occasionally, you'll stumble upon a situation where you can lift a curse through dialogue choices or specific actions. These are often tied to quests, so pay attention to the story!
- Specific Locations: In some locations you can cure or remove curses.
The world of Rivellon is full of secrets, so keep your eyes peeled and your dialogue options varied. You never know when you might stumble upon a cure for what ails you.
Preventing Curses: An Ounce of Prevention is Worth a Pound of Cure
Of course, the best way to deal with curses is to avoid them in the first place! Here are a few tips for staying curse-free:
- Pay Attention to Your Surroundings: Cursed areas are often visually distinct. Look for dark clouds, eerie glows, or ominous symbols. If a place gives you the creeps, there's probably a good reason.
- Be Careful What You Touch: That ancient artifact might look cool, but it could also be riddled with curses. Think twice before picking up random objects in dungeons.
- Mind Your Manners: Sometimes, curses are the result of your own actions. Being rude to a powerful NPC, breaking a sacred oath, or messing with things you shouldn't can all lead to a karmic kick in the pants.
- Invest in Magic Resistance: Increasing your magic resistance will make you less susceptible to curses and other magical effects. It's like building a magical immune system.
Ultimately, dealing with curses in Divinity: Original Sin 2 is just another layer of the game's intricate and engaging world. It's a challenge, sure, but it's also an opportunity to learn, adapt, and ultimately, become an even more powerful and resourceful adventurer.
So, go forth, explore Rivellon, and don't let those pesky curses get you down. With a little knowledge, a bit of strategy, and maybe a well-placed Bless, you'll be conquering those curses in no time! Remember, if all else fails, find a source fountain and start chugging. You'll be alright, I believe in you!
