Unfortunately the game's devs didn't make a particularily good job explaining game mechanics and gameplay details, so this guide is one of the attempts to correct that oversight. There are two abbreviations in this text. D - Damage. DR - Damage Resistance. There could be more but I don't feel like it's really necessary. * - means the piece of equipment already described above. Now let's talk about the only thing you certainly shouldn't do playing the game for the first time - don't choose the Extreme difficulty. I saw some guides where it was recommended, just to save time because theoretically you can get all the achievements during one playthrough. And theoretically it's possible, but it won't be fun at all. It's the worst thing you can do to yourself and no amount of saved time is worth endless frustration you would bring upon yourself. The second worst choice for your first playthrough is Hard difficulty. It's possible to finish the game on Hard, but there are two reasons you don't wanna do it. First, there is about five really tough fights which are hard even on Medium difficulty. To win them you need to know game mechanics pretty well and you won't be able to properly learn everything you need to know until at least the middle of the game. Second, there is no respec in any shape or form in the game. So theoretically you can screw your characters up to the point where you won't be able to ever win the final battle. So I suggest the Medium difficulty for your first playthrough. There are not many differences between Hard and Extreme and you can skip Hard altogether. And also the game is pretty short anyway, don't deprive yourself of some fun. Arkail Strength 14 Agility 6 Stamina 15 Mind 5 Gladiator's greaves [DR +5%, Stability +3] Slicer [D +5] Styx Strength 5 Agility 15 Stamina 6 Mind 14 He starts with complete Survivor's set. Survivor's leather [DR +6%, Life reg./s +1, Stamina +2] Survivor's gloves [DR +2%, Striking force +3] Survivor's leggins [DR +2%, Stability +3] Sacrificial daggers [D +3, Converts 10% of inflicted D into Life points] Sometimes Styx can get Throat slitters [D +3, Dodge +5%] instead of Sacrificial daggers. On Easy and Medium difficulty you can play however you want using any skills in any order. But there are only that many really useful skills for Hard and Extreme difficulties. The combination that worked really well for me was defensive and tanky Arkail and Styx attacking mostly from a distance. Every attack has one of three impact levels - Light, Medium or Heavy. If enemies' Stability is low enough the attack can stagger them for a breif moment, which could be very useful, especially for flimsy Styx. Let's look at all the skills they have first.
