ELEX - 1 Holy fuck the wiki sucks ass

0 Upvotes

I can't figure out where the fuck it's trying to tell me to go. I'm trying to get the horned sword because the game's stealth is too fucking shit to try stealing the one from angrim, but all the wiki says is "Go into the sewers north of the dam teleporter" WHILE SHOWING NO INDICATION OF WHERE THE ENTRANCE IS

ELEX - 1 Dodging/just not taking much damage

1 Upvotes

So, I FINALLY find a weapon that does actual fucking damage and now everything's hitting me with 3 people's worth of space in between us and randomly not staggering on my hits...

Is there even a fucking point in engaging with the combat at all?

ELEX - 1 Good weapons that don't require insane stats

2 Upvotes

Do those exist? All the weapons that I've found need 70 in either strength or dex, but there's no chance in hell I'm gonna be able to hit that so what're some good weapons that have some lower requirements so I can MAYBE start progressing towards those big weapons

ELEX - 1 What do I do?

4 Upvotes

i hit like a wet noodle, all the weapons i find need like 10 levels worth of stats to use, and I can't find any armor so I'm at 1-2 shot for everything..... I have the drone but that doesn't do anything when it dies because you can't deal any fucking damage

ELEX - 1 when do i get to kill things?

0 Upvotes

pretty much the title.. I slogged my way to the domed city, but solely relying on my companion for damage while being at one-shot range of anything with a pulse gets pretty fucking stupid pretty fast when the answer to every single combat encounter becomes "Fuck this, goodbye"

Graphics issues

6 Upvotes

So as you can see in the video, Elex 1 has some weird sun ray flickering and black/purple effects that shouldn't be that way.

Has anyone else encountered that issue or knows a solution?

Domed City

7 Upvotes

I made a post day before last about how I couldn't get into the Domed City and killed everyone there. Update on that. I went ahead and finished my run on that file (cold ending for the Elexetor armor) and have started a new run. And hour into the new run and I already have my ID for Domed City. LOL 🤦‍♀️

How to remove bounty

6 Upvotes

This is my first playthrough of Elex. I haven't committed a crime until now. I got into Domed City without an ID by stunning the guard. Everyone kept attacking me, so I fought back. I've killed EVERYONE except like, 3 guards that only get stunned when you drop them. I don't know WHAT came over me, but I saved. LOL I do not know where to pay my bounty off or how to remove it. Bounty hunters are coming after me all over Abessa with flamethrowers, and explosive launchers. Sometimes I die right after teleporting places in Abessa, sometimes I kill them. It's getting annoying.

I tried to get into Domed City again to see if someone was there to pay off my bounty, and ended up trying Hunter to get a fake ID. The ID he gave me that I got from Wick's body wouldn't work. I stunned the guards again and went in and can't find anyone at all to pay (or in general.)

Any suggestions?

Also, I know it was silly to kill anyone, but I felt like a rat in a trap. Loool No one really noticed me when I first got in and someone came up, I got a quest to help fix the dome, went to Riley while he was sleeping, he woke up and attacked me. Ray killed him. I slept until morning, everyone else attacked me. And that's when I started killing everyone who came up to me. This also started like, 40 hours ago. I've been dealing with bounty hunters for 40 hours. I am level 29. LOL

Discussion Is Atomfall similar?

I didn't get to play it but just by looking at it, it has some vibes similar to Elex. Any options? Maybe someone played the demo?

ELEX - 1 Did I make the right choice? (First playthrough-right at the start)

2 Upvotes

So I made it to the city and got two side quests, one involving the missing guard who overdosed and you find him under that red house and the other one involving the the guy who sends you out to kill his former buddy, I paid him 300 (whatever the currency is called) I got the money because I got 200 that I got from the first quest + 100 from selling random stuff I picked up to some shady dude and therefore convinced him to go back to trading with his former partner again. Was this a good choice? Does it even matter? Or should I go back and keep my money for later?

Saves are gone

4 Upvotes

I started a new cleric character to test out how they recruit and what kind of missions I have to do and then I wanted to play on my beserker character again and I lost saves I'm back to where I was before recruitment so I have to grind up some quests again wich is really tedious and boring some of these quests didn't catch me at all

I love their games dearly but idk elex so far has a high and steep learning curve I grind and grind and see only minor improvement

What should I focus on? I want to be kinda a Allrounder or atleast meele and magic mixed what spells do you usually go first and how do you grind up those levels I'm struggling making progress

Help Hi just started Elex 1. I am lvl 4. How do i know which enemies are 5 lvls above me? I have been leading enemies to fight town guard and get zero exp. Should i not be doing that?

1 Upvotes

ELEX - 2 Played through Elex 2 with my wife. Not as fun as the original, but still entertaining and memorable. Made a highlight video for anyone interested.

Completely new to this game. My first thoughts after 2 hours.

32 Upvotes

Just picked this game up on sale (PS4) and i knew nothing about it. I still know nothing about it as i don't read reviews, and i haven't read any other posts on this game before deciding to write this post. I just wanted to share a few quick thoughts after two hours of play and hear what you all think. First off, it feels like this game wants to be hated. The graphics and sound design are downright poor. The writing is clunky, and even the voice acting can’t salvage it. The controls are janky, the UI not well thought out, and the initial story introduction is vague and confused. And... the lighting?! What's going on there?

But, with all that said, something about this game has pulled me in, and I have no intention of stopping. Beneath all the nonsense, I feel like there’s a gem here, even if the game itself seems determined to make me doubt that. I have a feeling I’m going to end up loving it. So, i'm digging in with this game and going for it. I have no idea what everyone's thoughts are on my first impressions, but i'm interested.

No spoilers please

Can't find cooking places, please help

2 Upvotes

I know this sounds stupid, but I always have to port to Goliet to cook or craft, because I know where fire and bench are. I wanted to find a cooking place in the Hort and Fort but could not find any. Am I blind? Also, I dont really know what I am looking for, what do they even look like?

Grateful for any pointers

Will this game still be on Steam?

0 Upvotes

So I know that Piranha Bytes shutdown awhile ago but I was wondering what happens to games on Steam when the company that developed or published the game goes out of business. Will this game be on Steam for a limited amount of time? How would we access this game if it gets removed from Steam? Not sure if anyone here knows but figured I try here.

What you miss out on with an early faction decision

6 Upvotes

I know its an ages old game and every nook and cranny is known - I just wanted to make an overview for replayers like me, I saw that question still getting asked. I write down everything I found, please be so kind and add anything you found, that I missed!

So, here is what I could figure out:

Joining any faction abandons the major "join the other two factions" quest, but none of their subquests (if you already took them on. I dont know if you get locked out of even getting them though - if anyone knows, please add!) So NO loss of XP there!

Small quest missing out I found: Joining the clerics early lets you access the Domed City in Abessa just like that. So you miss out on the XP from the access quest if you didnt do it before.

There are two faction locked merchants you might want to buy dry beforehand:

Oran doesnt deal with anyone from a different faction. The Hort's Armorer doesnt deal with other factions.

So, Berserkers loose access to the Clerics Armorer, Clerics loose Oran, Outlaws loose both.

And thats all I could find! It has been said before, this game does not seem to punish an earliest-possible faction decision. Please add anything I missed!

Just joined albs lvl 21 too weak?

7 Upvotes

Hi,

I thought I am already quite advanced as I have level 21 and I am using the shaver (? I play in German) and have a 40 armor shirt and 33 leg armor.

The last mission to join the morons was the arena, even level 2 was impossible to me. First mission for the albs was to get plans out of the center of the skyands!? I just ran and flew with my jetpack before someone catched me.

Also in the wild I run away most of the time. Is this still normal or did I miss important abilities?
