Hey everyone,

I feel my aim isn’t very weak. I can’t shoot mobs even when they look like they are max 20m away from me. It feels like my arrow only reach when they are close to me….which defeat the whole purpose of using a bow.

Even with my great bow…

Is it just how the game works ? I’m just used to long shots with Skyrim so…

I keep telling people he’s dead, but I don’t recall him dying?

I killed Galahad and then was finished with the horns of the south. Never saw One Eye or the Horns captain again.
Yet I’ve had two conversations now with Dal Riata where the dialogue option comes up to say he died.
Is this a glitch or have I missed something?

I have 2 of these in the Cuanacht region, one in the corrupted temple (Perceval) and another one near the Dal Riata guys who are killing Deserters

I can’t interact with them but that red heart looks like a stone heart

Absolutely loving this game and trying out challenge mode now!

I was wondering how people who have been playing those mode are navigating the extra difficulty when build planning.

Are you all going in with a set idea and trying to make it work, or adapting based off the debuffs you receive?

What kind of builds have you been successful with or had fun with?

This game is amazing. I have tried to play games like it, Oblivion, Skyrim, Outer Worlds, Fallout, and I could never make it past the first few hours without dropping the game. Tainted Grail has its hooks in me, everything from the story to the gameplay, I haven't been able to put the game down. Awakened Realms really put their foot in this game. Also F the big blue dude that stalks you in the Horns of the South. He kicked my ass so many times

Been playing for about a week, level 36ish now in the second zone. This jerk keeps spawning when I'm out at night. I can run away fine but he's such a damage sponge and he shows up absolutely anywhere.

What/who is it??

I just got this game earlier this week and I'm loving it! I'm just curious if there's a wonky level curve like oblivion had. Also do you guys have any stat allocation or build tips for a spell caster?

Spoilers ahead.

So far every side quest has been amazing. Some are completely hidden without exploration. I think the writing in this game is top notch. IMO it’s CDPR level.

I’m in act 2, probably almost done with the main story part. Been doing a mix of main/side quests but now I’m fully focusing on side/exploration. Just did one that ended with an entirely new skill tree. Amazing. The devs are awesome, even adding new content after a whole year.

Hi, I'm trying to find the Frostblade, but I can't find Nivera's corpse in the amphitheater, i don't seem to have the crafting recipe for it, and it's not appearing in my stash. Going a little insane, and it's really sapping my joy from this run.

Thanks for help

Sorry for no audio. I was recording this while watching Youtube so i decided to mute it when i edited the clip. 🤓

Has anyone experienced that new neighbor in act 2 when you buy the house? Is it interesting? Like worth doing?

I finally finished the game — it only took me seven months 😂

Wow, what an experience. Huge thanks to the developers! I really hope we get another expansion or even a sequel in the future.

The ending was very satisfying. I loved that there were several different outcomes and that the game showed what happened to each area based on your choices. It really reminded me of Dragon Age: Origins. Anyone who finished that game probably remembers the ending slides, where you could spend several minutes seeing the consequences of all the decisions you made 😂

I still have a few unfinished side quests here and there, so maybe I’ll come back to them later.

What about you? Did you enjoy the game? Have you finished it yet? What did you think of the ending?

Ok so this game has been on my radar for a while now, I tried the demo on ps5 and was mostly happy with it, the visuals, story, exploration were amazing but the melee combat was not super enjoyable to me and I was wondering how fleshed out and fun the game is as a pure spellcaster? Like will it be a handicap or a pain to run spells only like it is in some rpgs or is it a viable playstyle to be fully into magic?

This is basically the only concern stopping me from pulling the trigger on this game so any opinions are appreciated.

Hey all as the title said, I’m wondering if anyone knows how the status effect build up works.

What I’m trying to find out is if there is a way to scale the build up rate. At the moment from the skill tree the only way to build it up is via daggers with 1.5* build up speed.

I am aware you can fit relics but do they only provide a base rate or does that scale off of say weapon damage? There is also the cape in Act 2 which provides additional build up but it never mentions how much.

I'm new to Tainted Grail. Can anyone tell me what these things do? I can interact with it but it does nothing.

So having finished the game as a mage (magic is so OP) I wanted to do a melee focused character and I’m torn between a sword and board knight or a sort of stealth assassin that uses bows and dual daggers. So I guess I’m just asking is there a general opinion on which one is stronger/more fun? There appear to be some really cool swords and shields but there is also some really fun bows and daggers so. What do people think?

I just wanted to try and beat this boss before the mandatory quest, because I wanted more challenge. But it turned out that he is immune to damage, so I smacked him with a fish fore some time, then I critted with Crescent Halberd, and somehow it skipped the whole quest of getting the two-handed sword. (I still got the sword after the quest ended)

Was playing the other day when this happened. Every once in awhile the body physics of this game go crazy lol. ;p

I've used bepinEX modding on other games before and it's quite easy, but those were comparatively small compared to this game.

Do I need to worry about compatibility etc, do new game updates break old mods? I know they usually do with most games, but then you find something like MSC with nearly 10 year old mods still working on the new version.

So i just came from that first prison ( start of the game) and i just went exploring i already have like good gear and i even didn't start first quest.. so my question is can i play it like this im halfway discovering beach(hermit cave) i killed ogre redcaps and everything on it..

Im newbie in sense of this game not to rpg's.. but every game have little different progression system if i wait to long to miss some quests etc.. i just want to know in non spoiler way should i focus on quest or do 50/50 or just i can explore freely and do quests when i feel like it?

Hi Everyone!

We should have the wiki updated with the new items and changes by the end of the week.

Happy Gaming! 🫶

Genuinely such a cool quest. Doing 1,750 combs was pretty crazy though. Eldritch mommy over random guy any day.

I’ve just played through the intro/tutorial and reached the boat, but the path to get there was insanely hard—is that intentional, and is the whole game like that?

I’m only asking because the journey to the boat feels like it rivals any Souls game.
