Braccus Rex's Tower | Divinity Original Sin 2 Wiki

There is a statue of a Seven Lord there that gives a small line of dialogue but nothing else. Anyone found any other use of it?

Submit

Braccus in the first game DOS is a ridiculously strong boss maybe the hardest in the game with a somewhat underwhelming two handed axe that you just give Madora for a while.

Braccus in this game is the gift that keeps on giving, OP items from the well, very strong suit of armor with source abilities better than what you get from story progression. He's one evil bastard but he gets you good loot

You can just eek out level 9 WITHOUT being a psycopath and WITHOUT killing Slane, but it DOES require cheese early on:

The Cheese: Use the Deathfog cheese with Dallis/Alexander in the beginning, and make sure the Geists ALSO die (very important), either with perfect positioning of the barrel or teleporting them in to it if you have the spell or gloves (if you need to get in Fort Joy be sure to use the ladder to the side) The Geists give a LOT of exp for Act 1 standards.

Then proceed as normal, taking care to take the options in your quests that give the best overall exp award (except for Slane if you do not want to kill him; I didn't). LEAVE THE WELL ALONE RIGHT NOW.

Then, once you've completed all the story up to Malady appearing, tell her to wait.

Go kill Zaleskar (at this point you're definitely able to kill anyone in Act 1). Make sure you used his vendor services and got Ifan's xbow even if you don't intend to keep Ifan (THIS IS ALSO WHY YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE AGGRO'D FORT JOT GUARDS YET BECAUSE IFAN HAD TO TALK TO BORIS).

Then, go and kill every Magister and every source hound (you didn't need to kill Birdie, you can let him go; I did). Make sure you did Buddy's thing for the exp that gives before you kill his mate.

Kill every Silent Monk standing around the dungeon.

Pick a fight with Griff, you can choose whether to flirt with Butter to have her on your side or not; I did, and I didn't need her exp. Kill him and his cronies.

Also, kill the guy who murdered his Lizard friend who was talking about the wife. A murderer is a murderer right? Heh.

At this point, you should be just a sliver away from 9. So now you just need a few easy kills. Find the card players on the Fort's wall near the gate. Kill them. You should just barely hit 9.

In this manner, no real innocents were killed; only morally grey at worst (Griff's gang who the card players are tied with; Buddy's mate who is doomed to be a Source Hound anyway). Slane gets to live. Random inmates in the Fort who are not thugs get to live. You don't backstab any seekers.

Some random things not to miss before fighting Alexander and playing cleanup:
Heal spells on the wounded seekers in Amadia hideout; this gives exp when all 3 are healed
Kill Magister Ames

In doing this I JUST, JUST hit 9 so be THOROUGH. The margin was so slim that missing any one of these won't get you 9.

YOU NEED TO SAY AT THE BEGINNING THAT YOU NEED SOURCE AND TO BE FREED OF THE COLLARS. THIS GUIDE IS ATTROCIOUS. i GET ALL THE WAY TO THE ****ING CRATE AND DONT HAVE BLESS YET. WERE ON FORT JOY FFS THE LEAST YOU COULD DO IS WAR US.

To maximize the well for 30 total LEGENDARY items:

1) Complete quests around Fort Joy and Hollow Marshes, gaining XP to reach level 9, which will allow you to get the best loot (legendary, level 9).

2) Have all four members of your party pay $150 per well visit as themselves, and then have them each visit the well under four various forms of the Mask of the Shapeshifter (4 members x 5 well visits = 20 visits).

3) Go recruit the two members you don't currently have in your party and have them both visit the well (2 remaining characters x 5 well visits = 10 items).

4) Pimp out your party with new gear or sell for some extra coin.

5) I recommend taking the loot off the two characters you're not going to continue with for the rest of the game before you dismiss them. Nonspoiler word of caution: If for some reason you don't retrieve your loot from the two before you get on the Lady Vengance, you will be able to recruit them there and retrieve the items, but do so BEFORE you set sail.

hello im pretty new in this game just got it 3 days ago, in my case i broke 3 soul jars(from the cavern), and only appears 1 skeleton, i killed her like 5 times in a row, but she stills respawn every time, any idea of what's happening? ty in advance

Submit

Tip for teammates that are still level 8 but your main is level 9 when you're done with Fort Joy: have them leave the party and then invite them again so that they'll level up (party members can be found in Amadia's Sanctuary at this point in the game). This way you can take advantage of the legendary items that the well gives at level 9.

To open the right hand side sarcophagus to get The Hand of the Tyrant you need min 18 Strength, useful spell here is the Peace of Mind if you just few points under 18 strength with one of the character

Additional notes on the well scenario:

1. Note going in that you will only get a choice of a belt or a ring - for whatever reason they didn't even include necklace slot gear into the mix of possible outcomes. This basically means that, unless you're not save scumming through the process, the usefulness is going to dwindle more and more, other than potential gold accrual when you eventually sell what you can't use.

2. As it relates to the above, and in case it helps anyone save time - you only get ring choices when you're in Human and Dwarven forms, whereas you only get belt choices in Lizard and Elf forms.

3. Finally, just to underscore - you do get 5 chances on every character, not just Fane. There's a default version of every race that differs from whatever race the character you're using in that moment is, so essentially you get 2 rewards for the same race (i.e., Red Prince as himself once and Red Prince in the default 'lizard mask' form a 2nd time, etc)

Submit

Make sure you cash in the reward from the well after you have done everything you want to do and are ready to leave the island, since those items are tied to your current level. In my latest run I managed to get to level 9 after clearing everything, that extra level also helps with the Dallis fight if you don't want to cheese it. It is also advised to use the shapeshifter mask with every character to get additional 4 rewards per character, just make sure you have enough gold (150 g per item). This might be a bit annoying to do if you are on a solo lone wolf run but in my experience it's worth it regardless.

how to get past the blue forcefield? it doesnt go away.... I also paid the toll at the well and idk what to do lol

Submit

If you want you can avoid fighting the necromancers and simply pick the lock on the gate.

Submit

You can water the well at any time, but the reward is best received right before leaving the island because the reward will match your current level (i.e. Fane Mask + 6 lv 9 companions = 30 lv 9 epic gear vs doing it right away for lv 6 gear)

Submit

Getting 5 different epic drops using Fanes Mask of the Shapeshifter still works!

Submit

I think the well bug has been fixed :(

Submit

I took a unused companion and give it max wit (18 I think) and made him interact with the statue, it looks like the statue gives the champion of the gods to the character, including the bless ability,

Submit

You can also equip a water wand and force fire at the well.

Hail Strike works too if you don't have a Hydrosophist mage

The skeletons suspended up high can be destroyed with fire and they will drop stuff like any other container IF there was something spawned in their to begin with. I got Wheat & 8 Gold, Nothing, Nothing, and Nothing, and one of the two hanging over the edge I couldn't target no matter where I stood.

You can save Rattus Perfidius by making blood rain on him, then teleporting him to the pool of poison and once he's at full health cast blessing on him. I just tested it and he's giving me info about Braccus That you can't get anywhere else.

Submit

The room next to the tower is the cavern where you can find Radeka the Witch, whom you need for the quest you receive from Slane the Winter dragon. You can enter this cave from the Dragon's Beach.

Submit

When you open the world map and zoom far out, you can see another room which seems to be filled with lava, does anyone know how to even get there? i figured it was with those portals by the gargoyle heads but that is an entierly different plane.

Submit

Well is still bugged!
Skeletons cant be reached via chests and teleport, anyone an idea?

Submit

Dont want to edit it myself, but Rattus Perfidus can be saved by jolting him with some air magic.

Submit

When I got to this part, the necromancers were already dead...no conversation. Anyone have this happen?
Also, there's another section to the east seperate from the rest of the map. How do I get to that?

Submit

I'm blind never mind

Submit

Does anyone know what that lever in the map room does

Submit

There are 18 lvl skeletons (3043 hp) in cages in air (chamber with ghost's well)
They look like you can loot them, but if try, game refuses (can't reach them)
Can be damaged with fire only, no teleportation allowed
Killed one with fire, nothing happened, nothing dropped :'(
Have no idea what to do, but I'm still curious

Submit

Any idea what the zombie in a cage do? I am getting villain tag for killing it.

Submit

Not sure how to edit, but you'll always find the "Hands of the Tyrant" armor piece in the right tomb (female) inside the mausoleum. Also if you ended up betraying Whitermoore, you can still pass the force field by choosing the dialogue option "Channel source energy" when interacting with the relic.

Submit

How to loot skeletons in the cages?

Submit

FYI about the well: Water wands work fine, not just rain. *EACH CHARACTER CAN GET AN EPIC PIECE OF LOOT FROM THE WELL ONCE*. Just repeat the process for each character and bring 600g. Had my cleric shoot it and each of us took turns looping through the conversation and getting the loot.

Submit

One of the tombs beyond the source barrier I can't open, any idea ?

Submit

The necromancers did Not drop any key for me and i tried several times. Unless you have to kill them more than 3 times in a row, it's either bugged or the information here is false.

Submit

The well is bugged. You can do it on every character. Use the shapeshifting head to change race, and it count as a different character, you can use the well again

Submit

There is a sewers passage into a room to the west (need someone with thievery to picklock) behind 2 crates, it has some nice loot there and there is a lever but no idea what it does !!!

Submit

There is another room. that you cant even navigate in top of it...
