Hi Antonio

I'll let this one pass, but please can you avoid making posts that are essentially links to other content. I'm sure it was done in good spirit and enthusiasm - but just want to avoid spamming old content to promote other products (unless there is a good link/reason to).

Cheers!

Hey, this is really amazing, I have read the Arc 2 in the Book 1. The narration and the different elements are very interesting. You can find such elements in the Destiny 2 gameplay also. The new updated features of the Destiny 2 along with the new characters, you can also Buy Destiny 2 from online stores and enjoy playing the game.

Well, I decided to cheat a little just for once, backtrack to a couple of missions of this Act and change two items of my equipment, increasing my speed to 8.

It is unbelievable how just two more points of speed can change the result of a fight.

I'm completing the blue mission where I was stucked and right now my warrior has 10 speed, 9 brawn and 8 armour. He is a mighty opponent!

Thanks for the advice anyway. I've got already the books 2 and 3, which I'm sure I will injoy them as much as this one or even more, and I'll be waiting for the fourth one.

Keep up the work!

I'm afraid once an act has been completed, you cannot return to any locations in that act.

Good luck on your adventures! Perseverance will pay off!

Failing that, you could always skip to Book Two for some light relief (!) and come back to LoS once you have more experience.

Thanks a lot for your answer!

I realize this by now. I'm afraid that my choose of equipment has been unwise lately. I thought that I could sacrifice more speed in favour of armour than I should, even as a warrior.

I know already about the mushrooms you say, but there are no potions that can alter you speed in this Act (unlike the Act 1). Can you go back to the vendors of previous Acts? (I ever have assumed that you can't).

Legion of Shadow is the most punishing and difficult of all the books in the series (which some people find frustrating, and others find it their favourite - so it's a love and hate one!)

More so than the other books, you need to choose speed over any other attribute (when you have the chance). As a general rule of thumb you would want to be about 6/7 speed going into the orange quests, but be looking to get your speed up to around 9 for the blue - with the goal of getting around 10 or 11 speed by the end of that act to take on the boss.

It looks to me like you have chosen a lot of armour items (which is understandable as a warrior), but unfortunately in LoS that means you will fall behind the speed curve. Warrior is definitely the toughest of the paths to play in this book.

In other books, you won't face the speed problem at all, as it is more smoothly balanced and you can't fall behind. LoS is more difficult is that regard.

There are potions you can buy - and mushrooms (from New Hope) that may help you win a crucial combat although looking at your stats, I am not sure how far you would be able to progress as your speed is very low.

I'm in a similar situation, but my character is a warrior.

Speed: 6, Brawn: 10, Armour: 8.

Special Abilities: Parry, Slam, Vanish, Life Spark, Charm (x2), Sear.

Money Pouch: 55 gold crowns.

I'm stuck too in the hard missions of Act 2 (Legion of Shadow).

I'm not able to defeat any new opponent of this act, neither the next foe of the Arena, and I've not enough gold to buy new equipment.

Any suggestions? Am I doomed?

Thanks in any case.

Solid advice from the T-Man!

And that also reminds me that I need to update the tavern tinkerer download as the first set of items should be 150g and not 200g (it was changed for the reprint of Legion and I evidently forgot to go back to the download document). I'll get that changed and uploaded sometime this week.

I recently played through Act 2 in Book 1, and I can see how you have problems in the Blue quest. Not only is your speed lower than opponents, you have no Speed abilities to help win you a round. Your Brawn is also low, though you do have good damage-dealing abilities. Rogues are usually better when you increase your Speed and Brawn at the expense of your Armor.

You can use all that gold to help you. Go to New Hope (section 330). Visit the tavern and look at what the tinker's selling (section 311). In the book, she sells three items for 150 gold each. But if you click on the Downloads tab on this website, you can find a better version that's probably not in the book (it's not in mine, and I have a later-edition softcover book). It's under the Legion of Shadow bonus content, called "The Tavern Tinker". She sells the three items from the book at a higher price, 200 gold. But she also sells three extra items for 240 gold each, and 1-2 could really help you. The cloak has +2 Speed, +2 Brawn, and a great Speed ability in Webbed. You can use Webbed to win the first round and apply Venom and Bleed. You can also afford to buy the chest item, which has +2 Speed, +2 Armor, and a nice Combat ability in Corruption. That lowers the damage opponents can do to you, so use it on the first blow you strike, before Piercing. In New Hope, you can go to the mushroom seller and buy Mottled Marshstick, using one per combat. It gives you +3 Speed for two rounds, then -1 Speed for the rest of combat. You can use it anytime, so use it around the middle of combat when the +3 Speed can turn a lost round to a win. Finally, after buying something from the tinker, enter the gladiator combat. I think you can take the first 2-3 opponents, getting some good equipment and winning more gold, and you can always fight the next opponent when you want.

Also, the Legendary Monster in section 313 is a tough opponent, but can give you something to really help you out. After buying new equipment, you have a shot. There are potential problems in Act 2, since some opponents will be immune to some of your most devastating abilities, like Venom, Bleed, and Piercing. Those fights will be much harder. Good luck.
