​@@Bigmacsrule97no its not. It's a passive perk.

Some grappling tricks! If you grab an enemy and sprint into a wall while holding them, youll body slam them into the wall and knock them prone, letting a melee class get a followup critical attack. In addition, if you hold the grab button in midair, youll pounce on an enemy and hold them down. This allows you to hold them down for your pawns and punch them on the ground. These are just some things i stumbled on on my own, so there could be tons of other little things you can do with the grab. Try things out for yourself! If anyone has any more details, please let me know.

You can also get a scroll to teach your own pawn by gifting the chick in the elven town.

With the Mystic Spearhand's flying thrust attack, you actually can use it to go up those sliding slopes you see throughout the map and make shortcuts through flying around. Especially when it's fully upgraded as it has extended distance. It can't gain altitude though as the thief has better moveset to do so. But it makes for interesting shortcuts up slippery slopes that doesn't seem to have any other entrances up. I got that scarlet underwear thing by doing this.

“You can mumble 1000 hippopotamus “ made me subscribe to this guy.

This game has a combination of some of the most CRAZY details and well though out mechanics (like the cyclops having a unique animation of forming a bridge if losing its balance right at the edge of a destroyed bridge, or the Beastren occasionally "shaking off" their fur like a dog when wet.), but also some of the most immersion-breaking weirdness like being able to just pick anyone up and carry them away without consequence, being able to easily soft-lock yourself out of completing some horribly designed quests, and everyone in a town spontaneously reviving after a few days when the pawn AIDS takes full effect. Yet, I still can't stop playing.

S many simple yet impactful tips, cheers :>

I'm not entirely sure on the EXACT mechanics of it, as I've only managed to pull it off a couple of times, but I'm sure someone more willing to test it could figure it out, but... You can do a super speed levitate sorta like the jetpack boost in no man's sky by jumping into a levitate while accelerating at a high enough speed, such as when first starting to sprint. It's not only probably one of the fastest means of transportation other than fast traveling, but it also goes like 10x farther than a normal levitate, allowing you to reach some pretty ridiculous places. Figuring this out is 100% going to be a huge part of speedrunning the game, and can totally allow for some crazy sequence breaking.

That was a well made video, thanks for the info

This was definitely a good video! Thanks.

Did good Alex💪🏾

One of your best videos yet !!! 🤣 Bravo 👏 👏👏

My man dropped a Larry David bit into the video. I’m down. Lol

awesome!!

if you have a pawn fighter with the shield launch skill, you can use that to get chests just out of reach if you dont feel like finding the path that leads to it.

So much detail 😮

3:22 this one works if you knock them off balance and pull their leg next to like say one of those broken stone bridges that are naturally broken.

For deathly arrow's timing, I look at the arisen's elbow that's holding the arrow. When the arisen releases the arrow, his elbow moves backwards slightly and I release the fire button. It takes a bit of practice and usually I can see the elbow move on the corner of my eye so I can focus on aiming.

Great list of things I didn't know.

3:00 is peak. Dangerous comedy for the gaming industry, but glad to see it.

That extra "pawn" made me laugh so hard, so gonna use that. Also what armor is that mage wearing, looks awesome!

That is good tips indeed

Straight to the point. No bullshit. You are the best

wow very helpful video.

In regards to the first tip, you can also do this with follower NPC's. Sometimes you'll get a request to take an NPC somewhere, for instance Ulrika will occasionally show up at your house in Vermund and ask you to escort her to Harve. If there's a time limit to those, I have yet to hit it. She's currently travelling with my party through Battahl.

I love this game even more after high fiveing a pawn. There's some jank, but embrace it and let the chaos warm you (before throwing it at a troll)

straight to the point.. thats how you make a video ❤

Bro, they made thief a powerhouse in this game. I didn't know about the leap and the smoke bomb. Thanks!

Thief mobility is crazy!

If you pilfer a Dragon, you can get more WyrmCrystals from it. I got 20 last time just from pilfering. On top of the Crystals you get from its death, you can bump it up to 30+ Crystals per

Similar to the Thief Extra Jumps you mentioned, you can also use the Mystic Spearhand's "Dragoun Stabbe" to get across gaps, I use it all the time.

That's crazy!

Hey! Would love to get a breakdown of your graphics settings if you have them? Think your game looks really crisp! Thanks for the great videos

These kind of videos always make me feel like I have no creativity whatsoever Lol.

Sick video.

if you want to use the arrow of unmaking say against the sphinx make sure to rest at an Inn or owned home as you then get a hard save point that you can revert to

Love the humor!

One thing a lot of people don't seem to mention is that you can forge the final reward from the Sphinx quest line for 30,000 gold. Most forgeries are useless; but that particular item simply gets cloned.
