'''Have a party member with high Perception.''' | |||
Hunting for tiny buttons on 3D landscape is the devs idea of an 'old-school puzzle' (of which there are many), so be prepared for that. | |||
High Perception lets you spot things easier and makes it a bit less of a chore. | |||
- The world may seem open but it's actually structured in a way that you're strongly encouraged to do the areas in a fixed order. There's no point torturing yourself trying to beat level 7 mobs while you're level 4 since there's probably a spot full of level 4 mobs that you've just missed. The challenge of taking on high level mobs isn't worth the reward of becoming over-leveled and turning the otherwise moderately challenging encounters into trash combat. | '''Picking your Source Hunters builds''' | ||
Combat in the game is generally aimed at a party of four. Two will be your starting Source Hunters, but there are four Companions in the starting town. | |||
* '''Madora''', a warrior specializing in Two-Handed weapons. (Essentially the Knight preset.) | |||
* '''Jahan''', a mage specializing in Water and Air magic (Essentially the Enchanter preset.) | |||
* '''Bairdotir''', a ranger specializing in the Bow. (Essentially the Ranger preset.) | |||
* '''Wolgraff''', a somewhat sneaky thief type specializing in Dual-wielding Daggers. (Essentially the Rogue preset.) | |||
You may want to pick the roles of your Source Hunters so they don't overlap that of a Companion you want in your party. That said, more than a few people dislike the personalities of some or all of the Companions. | |||

'''Try things that look fun.''' | |||
Enjoy the challenge while it lasts. | |||
The game's best part is the first area when you're still weak. | |||
Don't worry about spending gold on things in it, you'll be swimming in it soon enough with nothing good to spend it on. | |||
Your couple will turn into unstoppable juggernauts no matter what you do. | |||
That said, if you really want to make it easier for the first couple of areas, bringing a mage is a good idea. | |||
AoE spells wreck the early-mid game, melee fighters wreck late game. | |||
'''Get Teleport immediately.''' | |||
Aside from it being useful and hilarious at times, it tends to knock people down, which is one of the ways you can do some crowd control (freeze/shock/knockdown) where that enemy basically can't do anything and may be extra vulnerable. | |||
'''Don't be dismayed by the ever-increasing number of points required for higher Ability Ranks''' | |||
You get 1 Ability point per level for levels 2-5, 2 Ability points per level for levels 6-11 and 3 Ability points per level afterwards. | |||
