Beginner's Guide to Elex 2 - Tips and Advice

Hello . What Armor set you heve ?

good job kid

any tips of crashes? or frezzes? The game has thus far only frozen once (choose D11) then switch to normal then it crashed 1x Now I dont know what to do? (Hours and days between these btw)

Played Elex 1 a few times but it clicked just not long ago, finished it finally. Starting Elex 2, the combat is smoother, the animations are not as janky and the difficulty it's a bit lower.

so about joining factions it is not like in elex I where you had to pay attention to quests. Good to know!

Damn, man. You done did it. This is absolutely required listening for anyone looking to get the most out your play through; even if you’re a mid-tier veteran with both games like I am.
Thank you for this. You did the gamer gods justice with this video. You ARE the man, man.

Started playing elex 2 and the first 5 mins of this is telling me I should really play elex 1 first 😅

on the DX12 version.
i play the dx12 version. turned off all the graphics setting that can be turned off, like shadows and vsync and anisotropic filters .
i have the textures on medium.
and i'm playing on a laptop with a gtx 3060 and the game is running smooth at 60fps, hasn't crashed once in 30 hours.
so they must have really improved the stability since launch.

i haven't tried the dx11 version. i assumed the dx12 was the "intended" way to play as the launcher refers to that one as just "elex 2", while the other one is "elex 2 dx11"

i'm also one of those who does all the side stuff before advancing the story. . i'm 30 hours in, level 15 have tons of abilities unlocked and have walked over 50% of the map and still haven't even cleared out those morlocks for caja. . had no idea that was necessary to recruit her.

also, knowing that i can join a faction and still do the other faction quests sounds like a good deal, hecause i'm still walking around with no magics or faction armors and yeah, it would be nice to have access to those earlier.

it took me until 10 hours in to discover the alternative camera mode. I am one who tends to get the motion sickness from low FOV and thought i could just soldier on through it and i was tolerating it, but yeah, the alternative is way better.
except sometimes in combat, the camera center gets fixated weird and Jax will be all the way on the edge of the screen, but going into manual aim with a ranged weapon fixes it.

Are you sure enemies all respawn? I've walked trough areas I've cleared several times and they are still dead.

Thanks for sharing this

I just put elex 1 down after putting 25 hours into it.... I just could not handle the amount of jank and bugs and terrible UI in that game. I wanted to like it and did to an extent but it is very hard and extremely grindy. I am 25 hours in and still can only use a rusty axe and have hunter armor. I decided to move onto elex 2 and got like ten minutes in before I decided I liked it so much better just based on the organization of the UI and equipment alone. But seeing your first suggestion in this vid is making me reconsider sticking out the first one. =/ idk that is a huge commitment and a lot of hours. I am going to check out your beginner and tips guide for elex one and maybe that will help me with the game, even if I need to restart it. Cuz rn it is just a slog to me and the combat is god awful all I can do is melee and I want to use one of the guns I have hahah. ugh.

man you actually dont know what makes elex one a good game (like older ones)- thing is to feel that you can get stronger when leveling up...not that world levels up with you and you dont feel that youl get any benefit- maybe timy amount of it.....somewhere are just weaker mobs that are easyer to kill and see how much more stronger you are

thank you so dang much. i tried playing elex 1 and just cant find myself to do it with how prone ive become to the new graphics and not so glitchy mechanice. on to elex 2!! again thank you!!

Vidéo parfaitement parfaite, tu donnes de bon conseils.

I really appreciate these kinds of spoiler free beginners guides. After playing Elex 1 I realised that, had I known certain things before, I think I might have enjoyed the game even better because it wouldn't have impacted my enjoyment of the exploration but greatly reduced my disappointment when I realised that I unknowingly locked myself out of a certain option for example.

Good video.

I love the aerial combat. 😂

Elex 1 was good but Elec 2 is the bomb! 👏🏻👏🏻

I am at Bastion. Can you fill me in where to get melee, projectile & armor trainers?

Oh no... I wanna like the video but if I do it'll go from 665 to the forbidden number so like... 😂😅

Also, the game doesn't tell you this, but if you're running berserker, you HAVE TO BE A LEVEL 20 TO BECOME A WARRIOR. You can become a cultivator just fine but anything beyond, you must be level 20. I figured this out the hard way completing all the required reference quests and then got hit with that cheap shot lol

Fantastic preparation video!

Thank you so much for this video. It is helping me a lot!

Great video, exactly what I needed after playing for a few hours. I love when someone shares their insights and experiences without any major spoilers. Really enjoyed the video and it was very useful.

attributes have verry little impact on damage

Hope everything's ok...
We miss you! Good luck with everything.

Hey hope all's well with you. Not heard from you for half a year

Check your damned email! Disregard the comment if you're just ignoring me :)

So when's the Elex 2 review happening?

YAY I JUST FOUND THIS GAME AND ITS FUN TO PLAY!!!!

When are coming back friend? We need the risen 3 review

This game is only fun until you get built up basically join a faction just explore

So much of this video focuses on the jetpack. It shouldn't. The jetpack not only is not a priority, the only skill you should invest in it for most of the game is the initial additional tank so you can keep adding fuel, then later on the "sprint boosters" so you can get easy access to some hard to reach hidden items (not mandatory). That's it. You don't need to use it in combat at all unless you REALLY enjoy it from a role-playing perspective or you are really bad at parrying/dodging/blocking. This game, unlike the first one, has placed most everything within easy reach of even the basic pack, no need to literally waste your skill points in it.
On the "trophies" skill I will completely agree with you. It is a complete waste of points in this game, with stealing and upgrading weapons being vastly superior.

Yeah, nice advices, explains most needed things when you start game, even you played first game or not, previously.

Hint #20 was something I believe you omitted in the ELEX 1 video, but I noticed it playing through. I love this little detail that people actually do little side dialogues that help the world make more sense because your actions have actual real time consequences.

Thank you so much for your videos, the aforementioned one really helped me having fun playing ELEX 1 - I had a hard time before and was really butthurt about buying it. Now I am thinking about getting number 2 after this video.

Stay awesome!

Wow, this video was EXACTLY what I was hoping to find to avoid making dumb mistakes early on. Doesn't ruin the story at all and is proving to be insanely helpful for me to make the early decisions that matter. Thank you!!

I really want to look this video, but I'm so tired of these new games that lead me of every step or of tons of information in info space. There was something cool back in days when you start the game with no knowledge what you should do or what you shouldn't. Hell, my first experience with Gothic 1 was in the club, when I spent first hour of the game trying to open first chest near collapsed mine. And I was so exited about this game, that I went to market as soon as I could and got the disk with this game. I assume I'll watch this later. But thanks for your content anyway!

i hate games that infect the character and nag you thruout the game... its my biggest complaint of cyberpunk

Always a pleasure to watch your videos, even though I already finished Elex 2!

I did the factionless run at my first playthrough. 😅 and yes, it was more difficult. I even lowered the difficulty at points and would not reccomend this build at anything higher than normal.
luckily the game does not punish you for lower difficulty and you can still get all trophies and everything except faction locked stuff.

You say that you need no cigarettes. There is a small little dialog where you need 1 cigarette.
There are 2 guys who are visiting all the main factions camps. If you talk to them the first time, he asks you for a cigarette. Just saying :D
Good video, bad game.

I would love if you reviewed Enderal: The Shards of Order. When I played it I saw a lot of gameplay paralels to the gothic series but also a very engaging and mysterious story

Hi! Great video as always!
I have a question that nobody discussed yet. Or maybe its a bug only I've encountered.
Is there rain in Elex 2? I finished the game in 60-70 hour and I swear to you that I did not see one single rain drop.
Is this a bug? Or intentional? :D

When are you going to release the in depth review for Elex 2?

Also when I played the game, the backstab ability didn't work for 2 handed weapons regardless of whether they are alerted or not. Not sure if they fixed it now

i have around 180+- hours on the game, and i can say with certainty that i would give pretty much same advices. Good work!

I’m a newb when it comes being disappointed by PB (I’ve only played Elex) but that list of skills that straight up don’t work is mind boggling to me.

I got a notification about this video whilst watching your 3 vieos in a row ending with Things I miss from elex. Great video :) PLease keep'em coming
