  • Always explore both ends of each bone pole and rope to make sure to get all relics, damned souls and experience fountains. Same goes with running towards the camera or in the opposite direction the camera points to whenever entering a new room or "scene"

  • There's plenty of ammunition in the game, but switch the weapons from time to time. If you use one or two the whole time, you will run out of ammo for it. While we're at it, the shotgun and the rifle will probably be the two most used weapons. Get used to them both, the shotgun is 1-shotting most things within melee range, while the rifle is really weak, but accurate. Go for full body shots with the shotgun, and headshots with the rifle.

- Being prepared and having the right skills/resistances is more important than raw power, especially against bosses.

- Don't afraid to be versatile. Each character has a pretty specific role and when you're stuck with only one or two you may have to be pick up slack on healing, physical, or magic because the character best suited isn't available

-Don't bother trying to 100% your first time through. You will need to have a guide attached to your hip, and that sucks all the fun right out. Conversely, once you decide you want to 100%, attach a guide to your hip. There are a lot of missable items.

- Pronunciation of names are they way they are supposed to be now. This may be a little jarring.

- You can buy a Pet that will follow you into battle. They include horses for just riding around (I found that two movement skills were more than enough), a tiger, a bear, and other various animal's that will join you in battle.

- You can ride the bear. It is amazing

- Do yourself a favor and play it on a sound system that has a subwoofer (if you can) and turn that bad boy all the way up. Those little fuckers that dig (I forget what they're called; I haven't played the game in ages) have a wonderful sound effect as they burrow toward you that sounds fan-loving-tastic with a woofer. It's kind of hard to explain, but you'll know what I'm talking about when it happens.

- If you decide to put points in the Might tree, do NOT invest in Adrenaline Surge. Instead of healing you for 20% health when you drop below 25% like it says in the description, it is bugged and will damage you for 20% instead.

What bothers me the most about this site is that it's not a bad concept at all, but then inevitably contains 400 specific spoilers or ways to build your character or w/e. I like getting simple advice but I don't need to know where the chipolte sriracha sword is in Darksiders 5
