Tips for completing Risen 2: Dark Waters - Main Missions #007
The distiller
Doctor - increases the Nameless Hero's health points by 30. That's a big enough difference to make it worth thinking about. It's worth the cost, although you need to have a Crack first - the sum of all bonuses is 50 health points. The only downside is that the only character who can teach you this is Dice (we met quite late in the game). Requires a resistance of 1 and a Crack.
Indestructible - allows the Nameless Hero to slowly restore health points. At first, charlatans and distillers are required, but they help to reduce the cost of grog and provisions - the balance is pretty even. Moreover, "Indestructible" helps a lot during fights - the Nameless Hero heals, but his opponent does not (in this case, longer fights are quite easy). The only downside is that the only character who can teach you this is Dice (we met quite late in the game). It requires a Resistance of 10 and a Doctor.
Indestructible
Bladeproof - Increases blade resistance by 5 points (for each skill level). Most opponents fight in close combat, so it's better to have them even at a basic level. Subsequent levels of this skill require Stamina at 2 and 5.
Bulletproof - Increases bullet resistance by 7 points (for each skill). Only certain opponents use firearms, and the difference is not too great, so you can skip it. Subsequent levels of this skill require Stamina at 3 and 6.
Tricky
Sneaking - you will learn this skill at the very beginning of the game from Largo. This will come in handy during numerous home thefts, but nothing more. Requires a trick on 1.
Pickpocketing is a very useful skill, thanks to which you can get rich very quickly. A list of all the non-player characters in whose pockets you can look is in a separate chapter of the manual. Requires a trick on 2.
Lockpicks - you won't get far without them. This skill will allow you to open chests, of which there are many on the world map. Some of them contain fragments of unique weapons, so it's better to buy them on Tacarigua. Requires a trick of 4.
Lock picks
Monkey Trainer is a skill with great potential that has not been fully exploited. There is only one location in the entire game that you can enter by using a monkey (the attic in Antigua, where the Hangman's noose is located). The monkey itself is not very useful, and it cannot be used in battle - it is killed instantly. It takes a trick of 6. https://rossoshru.ru/2023/06/27/stavki-ks-go-kak-uvelichit-svoi-shansy-na-pobedu/
