So I decided to try and build a Destiny+Evade focused party. I'm playing on Warrior difficulty.

I'm rocking about 35 Evade at level 4, but I'm getting hit a lot fighting Kenshi in the Light House. Should I expect this throughout the game, or will it get to a point where I find myself evading lots of attacks?

How does block chance, combined with multiple block attempts, work against a single monster with single or multiple attacks?

Examples:

- The monster has a single attack and it attacks. My Defender has 3 blocks available with 55% chance to block. The dice is rolled, and the "first" block chance fails -- will my other 2 block chances be applied? In other words, is it just a 55% chance to block or is it a 55% chance to block, then if the hit still goes through, another 55% chance to block, and if the hit still goes through, another 55% chance to block on a single hit? Or because the "first" block was rolled against the attack and failed to block, the hit goes through and rolls aren't made for the other 2 block chances? (The latter makes the most sense.)

- The monster has 3 attacks and my Defender has 3 blocks available for a round. I block the first attack. Is there a reduced chance for me to block the second attack and third from the same monster?

So I was looking for a list of secret doors, because the detection system seems kinda buggy. With WD on all the time, I've still managed to miss at least a good 30% of the secrets based on my progress and the non-official compilation from gamefaqs below.

I've compiled the list below based off info from (mostly from some awesome gamefaqs poster Yorien -- so props to him/her): http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/708378-might-and-magic-x-legacy/68439683

Please note that I haven't verified most of these. And the list below is still probably missing some secrets. If you kind goons find new ones, maybe we can post them in this thread and the OP author can maintain an updated list in OP.

Where do you get the dog hireling that can sniff out secrets?

In Yon-chall Foreth, in a secondary path. Access from (65,73) or (57,69). Be aware, is heavily protected by Blackfangs, whom are usually too strong for the party when you get access to that location.

Nakar posted:

I have heard there is also a typo with the Two-Handed skill that doesn't properly give the Destiny bonus to crit due a misnamed variable. I don't have much more info on that though, nor how exactly to fix it.

Find the StaticData\SkillEffects.csv in the game folder. Open the .csv file.

I have Office, so it opens in Excel, but you can easily edit this file with Notepad.

Find the line:

95,SKILL_EFFECT_TWOHANDED_CRIT_CHANCE,,TRUE,TRUE,I S_EQUIPED,INCREASE_CRITICAL_HIT_CHANCE,0.001,FIXED

The line has an incorrectly assigned variable.

Replace INCREASE_CRITICAL_HIT_CHANCE with INCREASE_CRITICAL_HIT_DESTINY_MULTIPLIER

Full corrected line:

95,SKILL_EFFECT_TWOHANDED_CRIT_CHANCE,,TRUE,TRUE,I S_EQUIPED,INCREASE_CRITICAL_HIT_DESTINY_MULTIPLIER ,0.001,FIXED

As I find that two-handed weapons are noticeably weaker than dual-wielding, it may be recommended to change 0.001 to 0.002 or 0.003.

I found a chest I don't believe is on the list:

Lost City
Lv3 (11,18) Perception

I'd like to thank the other goon that posted the chest in Sudgerd.
