GreedFall takes you around 30 hours to complete. There is a lot to see and do, but in this guide we give you some tips and tricks that you might want to know to get the best possible start.
GreedFall tips and tricks
You can easily get the locking talent
In GreedFall certain items or armor grant bonus talents, giving you access to talents that you may not have built. At the start of the game, your companion Kurt wears a piece of chest armor with a +1 Lockpicking bonus. You can switch armor with him to get the buff, which allows you to lock the locks of many chests in Serene.
The quest for the money-keeper
This quest is a bit ambiguous, so if you need help be sure to read our guide. It seems to attract a lot of people because there is a central point in the quest where it is not clear where you need to go.
Counter is op
This mechanism is not specific to GreedFall. It appears to be an element of any game that has blocking and counterattacking features. Get used to timing your blocks perfectly early on, as enemies will take serious damage on your attack on return and will help fill your fury bar much faster.
Listen to your companions
All of your companions can have great information, and they all have a quest to help you. Talk to them regularly and be sure to accompany them on missions involving their faction. Their presence could be very helpful.
Explore each area
Exploration is essential, as it can generate loot, experience, quests, new characters to interact with, and even boss fights you might miss. Scout around each new area and see what you can find.
Tactical break
If you're fighting hard, hit Tactical Pause to review the options available. You might want to use traps, potions, or other tricks to make things a little easier.
Sell loot
You can only carry too much loot, so be sure to sell whatever you don't want to the merchants. You can leave it in your reserve if you want to save it for later.
You can change the difficulty whenever you want
If you're stuck in a boss or struggling a bit with the game, you can change the difficulty in the options menu at any time. This way you can increase or decrease the difficulty, depending on how challenging you want.
Costumes
Try to keep a chest piece from each faction as you fight their members. You can don the chest piece as a disguise, allowing you to trick the guards into thinking you are one of them. This ability allows you to complete some important quest steps without bloodshed and lose your reputation with this faction.
