Quick guide for a deathless playthrough for anyone who is having trouble getting it.

Sword and Board Deathless

Passive Tree Level 43

Stat Points

I allocated mine to 5 Toughness, 3 Agility, 2 Ferocity each level. Gives you plenty of Hp and helps keep up Atk spd and crit chance throughout the run.

This build will feel fairly slow for Act 1 but after that you should have all the tools you need to breeze through. Pick up Soldier first, this helps with maintaining Rage, next is Sacred Oath it will apply Weakness to everything within 7m when you block. Next pick up Bane of Tyranny this is where all of your damage comes from, this gives you extra damage that scales with block chance and a pretty significant amount too. Grab Salvatory Anchor and the node after it, use a Bruiser chest with a Heavy helmet this gives huge hp regen and a good amount of all resist. Make sure to pick up the smaller nodes in between to keep building hp and dmg.

Next is to start working on the opposite side of the tree, atleast with the way I have it in the image.

Go straight for Feast of the Crows for the life leech, all forms of damage you deal will heal you, feel free to take the extra 2% leech from attack dmg if you feel you need more but with how tanky you should be it shouldn’t matter. Go for Bestial Frenzy next and extra 4% dmg per enemy is nice. Finally get the dmg converters to help turn most of your dmg to physical this helps you suck up all the sweet life with attack dmg.

Skills

Skills I used:

• Wing of Ishmir – For mobility and damage buff, you can also make it cost stamina instead but it’s not vital.
• Sovereign Shout – Gives you all sorts of buffs for both damage and survivability, generates alot of rage too.
• Juggernaut – Simple skill, gives you a damage shield that against bosses can make you invulnerable for a few seconds.
• Bladestorm – The main damage of this build, you can have more health orbs spawning, increased crit on kill, fast dmg tick on crit kill and best of all you can hold it to spin everywhere.

Final skill is up to the player. I got lucky with a Unique shield – Quintet of Sundowns. Gives massive Hp and Hp regen boost and allows you to use sacred spells, I used Bulwark of Dawn because of this giving me some healing and a little extra damage. If you get the shield great, if not I would try Warpath or Flight of Gaavanir. They both add something to the build, just depends on how you want to play.

Gearing

The only piece I got throughout my run the seemed to make a difference was the Quintet of Sundown shield, I got it around lvl15 and I’m still using it in the end-game. Any one-handed weapon will do just use whatever gives you the most dps. Chest needs to be Bruiser, Helm needs to Heavy other than that stick with bruiser and heavy gear for all other pieces. For rings I used a Material resist and an Hp ring, for Amulet I used Omnistar and for belt I swapped between Champion Girdle and Utility Belt just depending on which had better traits at the time.

Gear Stats to Look Out for

Defense – high to low priority – Flat Hp unless above 20%, Flat Hp Regen, Flat all resist, +% all resist, 100+ to resist catagory eg.

Material / Elemental / Occult

Any damage stats – high to low priority – +Attack / Physical / Rend / Toxic dmg, +% Material dmg, Atk spd, Crit chance, crit dmg.

Gems

Defensive

Go for Block chance (Defensive I) until you are around 40-50% after that use Hp gems (Defensive III).

Offensive

Flat Physical (Offensive I).

Support

+ % Physical (Support II) and +% Attack crit chance (Support I). I used 2 of each.

Guide to Aspects

Introduction

Aspects in Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem is a special mechanic of the game that allows the player’s character to temporarily transform into a pristine being or apocalyptic form. There is a total of four Aspects that players can choose from, and each aspect contains its unique set of skills and abilities that can be executed on the battlefield and while you are in the chosen apocalyptic form. This guide covers a list of all the Aspects that are shown in the game.

How to Unlock an Aspect?

The first aspect can be unlocked near the end of Chapter 1, you’ll be given the opportunity to unlock and choose your first aspect, however, as you progress through the game, you can unlock other aspects and players can switch other aspects at any given time once you’ve obtained a new one.

Using an Aspect

In order to shift into your chosen aspect, you’ll have to collect and have enough Primordial Essence to fill its meter, and you can obtain this by killing monsters. Once it is full, press [R], and you’ll shift into your apocalyptic form, the meter will then begin to deplete over time and you’ll revert back to your original form once it’s empty. 

Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem Aspects

Aspect of Dawn

Commanding the battlefield as a beacon of blinding light, the Primordial of Dawn carries the hopes of humanity as she charges into the fallen hordes. With her essence infused into the First movement of Life, her believers stand steadfast, smiting all traces of corruption under her holy rays.

Many of the Fallen indulge in the joys of destruction, but Baäpheth aims for something higher: strategy combined with skill in the service of absolute conquest. He splits the battlefield in twain with the flames of war, dispatching enemies in large swaths. All who stand in the way must fall before his violent ambitions.

Aspect of Infinity

The fabric of the world bends under his will, warping his enemies into cracks in space and time.

Aspect of Flesh

The Aberrant burgeons over all available earth, tendrils of skin and flesh blooming to assuage an all-consuming desire. His followers are endless, for in accepting Ashtaroth, their bodies become limitless weapons of bone and tendon. They lie in wait, preparing to assimilate the world in their image.

This guide explains how combat mechanics works in Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem.

All About Basic Combat Mechanic

Introduction

Combat for Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem focus on the basic combat mechanic of the game, and the associated actions that you can execute. Combat in Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem is similar to other ARPGS with the addition of unique elements.

Willpower and Rage

In Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem, the game’s combat system revolves around Willpower and Rage. Players will notice two resource bars that are on top of the Active Skills. The purple bar is the Willpower while the yellow bar is the Rage, these two are required to execute your active skills, however, they are different from one another. In order to fill up the Rage bar, you can attack enemies by using your equipped weapon, except for Staves/Catalysts and by activating a skill that uses Willpower. Using your Willpower resource will slowly fill up the Rage bar. On the other hand, building up the Willpower bar requires the player to attack enemies by using a Staff/Catalyst and spending the resources in the Rage bar will slowly convert or fill up the Willpower bar. Rage is required to activate attack-based skills, while Willpower is required to execute spell-based skills – depending on your skill modifiers, equipped gear, and unlocked passive skills, these factors modify the behavior of the Willpower and Rage such as its reduction, conversion, or regeneration rate.

Dodge Mechanic

On top of the Health/Force Shield bar, there are nodes that indicate the number of times you can dodge, this is the Stamina that is used to dodge. Players start off with four nodes, and eventually, as you progress through the game, it can be upgraded up to a maximum number of 8 nodes. Basically, one node is equivalent to one dodge, depending on the situation in battle, you can spam the dodge button if you wish to do so until you’ve consumed all nodes, just be mindful that once it’s all out, you’ll have to wait for a couple of seconds while it passively regenerates. As mentioned, you’ll be able to unlock more nodes as you progress through the game, or change its effects, like to reduce its time to regenerate by equipping gear that grants buffs and/or effects for dodging – to dodge, press the [SPACE] bar.

Combat Mechanic

Once players start the game, they’ll be given four slots for the Active Skills and eventually, as the player progresses through the game, two more slots can be unlocked which grants a total number of 6 Active Skills that can be equipped. The left mouse click, however, is permanently bound to execute basic attacks for whichever weapon the player has equipped, and again, as mentioned, basic attacks are used to generate either Willpower or Rage which is required to execute the Active Skills that are equipped.

Town Portal & Waypoint

If you need to return to Stormfall, you can use the Town Portal to travel back instead of opening your map and using a waypoint. Using a Town Portal will allow players to return back to the previous location, just make sure that you are in a safe spot and position since activating a Town Portal has a 4-5 second cast time. On the other hand, a Waypoint is considered a checkpoint that is usually found and unlocked for Fast Travel purposes. If you’ve unlocked a Waypoint, enter the World Map and click on the Waypoint you wish to go to and this will transport you to that location – using a Waypoint does not leave a portal.

In this guide you can find all buildings in Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem.

All Buildings in Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem

Stormfall Palace
Stormfall Palace has long been the home of Stormfall’s leaders. It is where the city’s council meet in order to table their concerns regarding Stormfall’s current state of affairs and to debate the merits of new initiatives before they are authorised by the head of state.

Stormfall Institute (West)
The Stormfall Institute was once home to the best and brightest minds that Stormfall had to offer. With the recent discovery of the primordial technology in Anankis, the work usually conducted by the Institute seems more pressing than ever. The West Wing has always focused on research into ancient power sources.

Stormfall Institute (Main)

The Main Exhibition was the Institute’s pride and joy, attracting scientists and researchers from all over the continent. When it was destroyed, many of the prized artifacts on display were ruined beyond recovery. However, with the discovery of Anankis, the Institute should have no shortage of curiosities to display to the public.

Stormfall Institute (East)

The Stormfall Institute was once home to the best and brightest minds that Stormfall had to offer. With the recent discovery of the primordial technology in Anankis, the work usually conducted by the Institute seems more pressing than ever. The East Wing has always been devoted to finding and researching ancient mechanisms from all over Wolcen.

The Cartographical Archives

In the past, the Cartographical Archives have been a symbol of Stormfall’s exploratory spirit. A vast library of maps, explorer’s journals, and tall tales, the Archives were the first port of call for anyone trying to decipher a treasure map or solve a mystery. In its prime, merchants from all over fought over its contents in auctions.

Seeker’s Garrison

The Seekers have been around since Stormfall’s inception. As an organization, they are devoted to exploring Wolcen’s wilderness and uncovering its hidden treasures. The garrison ensures that Seekers are at the peak of their physical conditioning, and trains them in the traversal of dangerous terrain.

Dark Market

The Dark Market is the perfect place for finding the most sought after equipment and materials in Wolcen, things that are not usually sold by the usual stock of merchants. Mohabi has cultivated relationships with the market’s members and is willing to curate equipment and materials on your behalf.

Anankis Artifact

After the discovery of Anankis, an ill-fated team was established to explore the Primordial megastructure. They returned a number of weeks later, survivors carrying a shrouded artifact. The nobles decided to bury it, afraid of the power humming from its surface…

Diamond Bank

The Diamond Bank serves as a replacement to Stormfall’s Central Bank, destroyed during the undead rising. A vault within has been designed for your own personal use.

Enneract Laboratory

Demetra’s research into enneracts has led her to understand them on a microscopic level. With the equipment in her new laboratory, Demetra now has the tools at her disposal to duplicate enneracts.

Energy Instillator

Demetra’s Energy Instillator serves the opposite purpose of her Siphon Chamber. Rather than extract magical energy, this device allows her to transfer energy from her stores into the body of a host. She is not incredibly keen on parting with it, but given your status, she is willing to trade it for gold.

Siphon Chamber

Demetra has a keen interest in the magical energies of Wolcen. Since meeting you, she has looked into ways of siphoning these energies from their sources. She has now mastered the process with her Siphon Chamber, and she is willing to trade gold for any surplus energy you may have.

Transmutation Forge

Demetra has perfected a technique that allows her to alter the shape and properties of any items or equipment. She has designed a forge tailored specifically to this task. She welcomes you to throw any unused equipment in the forge in the hopes that it may return something more attuned to your skill-set.

Stormfall Shipyard

Stormfall’s Shipyard has been the birthplace of some of the greatest ships to ever have graced the open seas. Before it ran into a state of disrepair, foreign dignitaries would visit and watch the shipwrights, marveling at the focus and precision of their work.

Stormfall Trade Assembly

The Trade Assembly serves as the main hub for distributing Stormfall’s exports and handling any diplomacy on the city’s behalf. The Assembly’s caravans once traveled to the farthest corners of the continent, and if they could so again, they would help usher in a new age of prosperity for Stormfall.

Salt Baths of Stormfall

Before it was buried, the Salt Baths were embedded in a rock face looking out to sea. The water for the baths was drawn from the sea, and many citizens believed that its waters held magical, re-vitalizing energy – they still do.

Refuge for the Blind

A vast, ornate temple, the Refuge of the Blind once served as a spiritual link between Stormfall and the Blind Monks of Morkaї. A small order of monks used to reside there, providing blessings to the people, blessings said to give the receiver the ability to find more wealth in all of their endeavors.
