So, Rift.
I'm behind the big portal. Where is the stone supposed to be?

Finished Rift.
Anyone found the Kickstarter Tree yet?

I have a couple of extras at the moment after doing that quest and
Frederick quest stole one of mine, although I think I got one back at the end
Yeah, it's in
Phantom forest

How do you do
Frederick's quest? Can't find the imp.
He died helping me fight the spider queen though.

Not far away,
look around the ledge above where you found Frederick
Have you
healed the animal and done Frederick's quest?
There's one more quest that you can use a blood stone for but the quest itself involves getting a blood stone, so that's a wash.
As a general note, there are more blood stones and star shards available than you need for your Homestead so don't feel like you need to hoard them. I found three extras as a matter of course and know I missed at least one. In fact, and I don't think this is too much of a spoiler but just in case:
You are straight up required to have filled out the Homestead to finish the game. It is non-optional. Just do it.

Act 2/Ice place/white witch:
Just killed Boreas and freed her. Should I stick around and do more stuff in this wintry place? I couldn't open the door behind the boss battle, and I have been told about a treasure room and to get a medallion.

Welp. That's enough tonight. Only a few weeks to get ready for con.
I know that from backers, just wondering what general direction.
Loving the Act 3 town. Dear lord. Such atmosphere.

Don't spread your characters out too far else you'll gimp yourself come later levels. I find focusing on 1-2 primary skills a character will give you a well rounded toon and you can branch from there. Spreading out and high level skills will cost you FAR too much to cast them. For example immolation (160? damage + burning) is 8 AP but if I've under leveled pyro it's a whopping 10! :/
So on that ledge he's lying against, you walk up and around the edge towards the northwest corner, there's a switch you step on to reveal an entrance to a cave. Can't quite remember if there was bush or slab of stone by it. Or if you need higher perception or not but mine is pretty low.
The town was fun, definitely a step up from the end of the previous map.
For the tree,
go deep into the northeast corner of the map, there's a path you go down and you'll see it. The area you need to go is progress gated until you finish a few quests in Hunter's Edge though.

I think I just completed the Hunter's Edge arc.
Holy shit, when I saw that turn order fill up with like two dozen character portraits, I knew I was in for something epic. I admit I might have considered bolting away when I saw those Dread Orcs hitting for 300-400 damage, and for the first two rounds it looked like us mountain friends were severely outmatched. But NOPE, Team Source Hunters swung the battle right in their favour with a few carefully placed debuffs and disables, and after we slaughtered that initial group, we all split off in search of the other orcs in the town. We were just out for blood by that point.
Makes me feel really sad for that orc and human couple, though. I never saw them again. =(

Goddamnit thank you. I've been there but I guess I wasn't close enough.
Man, there way too many hidden stuff like this for my liking honestly

Why the focus on blacksmith, by the way?

secrets are hidden chests in the world map, and the books give you skill and attribute points and can be rebought with every level up. needless to say, do that.

Bought my first secret. What's it do? It's for Mardino.
I really enjoyed that area, but
despite all the lead up implying that I'd be on the side of the humans, when I got to the big fight everyone became hostile. I tried reloading a couple times from different points in the quest and always got the same result, so I ended up just wiping the population of Hunter's Edge off the map. Even the cat, the skeleton, and the bartender all fought me at the exclusion of orcs or Immaculates. Oh well. The quest never completed properly, either, so it remained in my journal the rest of the game. What happens at the end if it isn't super broken?
Secrets never seemed worth the trouble to me for finding legendary items compared to
that skeleton vendor outside of Hunter's Edge.
Heh, I only have ONE steam friend who plays DOS.
Is it possible to get 100% achievements in one run?

I guess you can take the orcs side if you choose?
I chose humans and we killed all the orcs everywhere, then they said thanks and disappeared. there was no reward though.
they also attacked me once, but a reload fixed that, not sure what triggered it.

only with reloading, because there are sometimes different achievements for different ways of solving a quest

Hmm, not quite sure what causes the humans to go hostile. In my game, they showed up as neutral (yellow) NPCs when the fight started, and they stayed that way for the entire skirmish. Sorry to hear it didn't work out for you.
The quest hasn't been marked as completed for me either, even though my characters acknowledged it when the final orc died. But I'm not too bothered by that. I got a shitload of experience out of that part, anyway, so I'm happy. =D

The immaculate trial was easy as pie. Put stuff on the pads until they click. Only a few things it could be...

tiny switches
room under the alter
I've been running around town looking for someone who sells a shovel and I haven't had any luck. Unless there's some other tool I should be looking for to dig graves? Any hints? There are people with hammers, pickaxes, needles, cooking pots, all sorts of shit, no shovel! Wtf.

Have you hit Alt to see the item names? I'm pretty sure that's where my partner and I found the first shovel but it's been a hell of a trip since then.

you can talk to one of the mountain men after your character achknowledged the death of the final orc.. I talked to a named (Julian?) but I guess it should work with anyone. what he said was pretty generic.
Ok, why can't I crush a tomato? I just drop it on the ground and try to hit it with a hammer but no dice.
Also, I started with Rogue and Cleric, might not have been the best setup. Hope they improve with time but I'm considering restarting. Only 4 hours in. The thing I feared for before starting the game is happening though, it's all a bit much...
Oh another question, how does the co-op work, when I join my friends game can I pick up loot and XP and import it back in my game? Or doesn't it work like that?

Beside the one in plain sight in the graveyard, there was a shovel right near the very first portal you cross in the game, way before entering in the city for the first time.

Goddamnit, Frederick died and now I can't complete his stupid quest.
Didn't even meant for him to die. Just joined the spider queen battle for no good reason.

Co-op is a separate game saved only on the host's machine.
When you join a host's game you take control of whichever character they're not using.
You can join while they're on the character creation screen so you can both design a character.
With both items in your inventory, drag a 1-handed hammer onto a tomato and it should bring something up.

Am I the only one who has stuttering? For now I fixed it disabling the texture streaming, hope they fix it soon, apparently is some kind of conflict between the audio and the streaming
Those pyramids are damn useful for exploration, especially when you have a rogue (stealthy character who can get to places unseen or a tank you can take a beating with the teleport).
Moving an entire party across the map through enemies is hard, just let your rogue sneak behind them and then pyramid the entire party.

Same setup as me.
It's pretty bad. My cleric has become a wizard with an heal and heavy armor.
The rogue doesn't do much damage and it's very frail and dies way too easily. But it's tons of fun to pickpocket and lockpick. I think a ranger is way stronger.
And on top of that, the stupid random loot system hates me and I never get good loot.

Oh man, arrow spray.
I can see it being really good once buffed.

Yeh, the game has a habit of making you feel like this. It's both brilliant and infuriating.
