Strategy Guide/Walkthrough/FAQWhat is CelebrityGamerZ?ReviewInfinite backpacks

Go to Mel Senshir, and save your game. Then, kill the Dokkalfar merchant to the left of where you spawn. Pay the fine or go to jail. Go to one of your houses, and sleep for four days. Go back to Mel Senshir, and the Dokkalfar merchant you killed should have respawned with new inventory. You can now buy a new backpack. Repeat this as many times as desired. Note: Try killing the merchant close to where he is supposed to be since when he respawns he will appear wherever he initially dropped.

Easy experience

Make Corgan Hold available for fast traveling. It is in the western edge of Tala-Rane, in the Plains of Erathell. Just inside the door of Corgan Hold is a shrine that gives +20% XP for a limited time. Activate the shrine, go back outside, then fast travel to your next quest or dungeon to earn easy additional XP while the shrine is active.

Easy salvage

Salvage garnered from items is randomized. Thus, save the game before you salvage a weapon or armor at the Forge. If you like the components harvested, save the game. If you do not like them, load your previous save, and try again.

Easy Combat Training

Any traps laid in the Combat Training arena before beginning training will remain there once it begins. Thus, if you are struggling to beat any record, lay traps before you begin training. They will damage and slow down enemies during training, allowing you to kill them more quickly and easily.

Easy lockpicking without using points

Do not hold 'D' while picking locks; instead, tap it fast to advance. If you see the lockpick slightly moving, stop and change lockpick positions. Start from the left or right, and when the lockpick is about to brake (it will twitch), stop and try again after you moved him for 1/4 of a scale. This trick requires some practice, but once you master it, you will not need to spend attribute points on lockpicking.

Easy stealth chest looting

If you are trying to loot a chest while in Stealth mode and the percentage of being caught is too high/risky, simply press B to back out of the chest inventory, and then press A to loot the chest again. The percentage of risk should have decreased. You can keep repeating this process until you have zero risk of being caught.

Easy ring from Well Of Souls

When starting Story mode, you are asked if you would like to skip the tutorial. Choose 'Don't skip', and play the demo. Reach the Rock Troll, and defeat it. Then, loot the troll to get a ring you would not have gotten by skipping the tutorial.

Alternating loot

Before entering a house or dungeon, save the game. If you do not like or need the items found, simply reload your saved game to change the randomly generated loot in the house or dungeon.

Cheaper armor and weapon repair

When you need armor or weapons repaired, do not pay smiths to do the repairs, as they charge a lot. Instead, simply buy as many Repair Kits as possible from merchants. Once you are approximately ten hours into the game, they should be pretty easy to find. Try finding backpacks to have more room to carry them. Using Repair Kits should save you a lot of gold, especially once you acquire rarer weapons and armor that are expensive to have repaired at a smith.

Turning stolen items into non-stolen items

Take stolen items to a merchant (fence) that buys stolen merchandise. Sell them a stolen item, and without exiting the 'Buy/Sell' screen, go back to the 'Buy' option. Scroll down to 'Sold Items', and buy the item back for the same amount you sold it. The red hand icon will now be gone from the item.

Training more than three pets ('The Legend Of Dead Kel' DLC)

In 'The Legend Of Dead Kel' downloadable content, once you get the 'Pet Training' option, you normally cannot train more than three pets. When asked to select a pet to discard, select the 'Raise Pets' option (it is the middle option on the left side). You should now be able to select the option to train another pet. You can train all possible pets using this method.

Easy 'Juggler' achievement

This trick requires a bow (preferably with weaker stats) and long sword. You must be able to perform the Upheaval move for the long sword, which is one of the first and most useful sword moves in the game. Simply perform the Upheaval move on an enemy, then shoot arrows into them as they are airborne to get the 'Juggler' achievement.

Easy 'Streaker' achievement

You can get the 'Streaker' achievement with the first gnome you talk to after waking up on the body pile. Simply unequip everything but your weapon. Kill the two Tuatha harassing the gnome, then quickly unequip your weapon before the gnome comes over and starts a conversation.

Welcome to GamesBeat’s Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning game guide. Here you’ll find a bunch of tips and tricks I discovered during my time with the game, as well as a guide to the different skills you can choose from. If you have any questions or additions, please add them in the comments below.

Which race (character) should you choose?
At the very beginning of the game you will be given the choice of four different “races,” which are basically just two elves or humans with varying skin colors. However, each race comes packing three racial bonuses, granting an immediate bump to specific skills.

Check out the Skill page to better understand what each one does (or doesn’t).

Abusing Skill Trainers
Especially early on, you won’t have a lot of points to put into skills, so choosing which one(s) to focus on is extremely important. Luckily, there are trainers all throughout the world who can increase your skills, and even better, you can abuse the system in a number of ways to your advantage.

Kingdoms Of Amalur Reckoning Armors

First, know that training is expensive. Basic trainers charge about $15,000, and this rate goes up another $15K with Journeyman trainers, and again for Master trainers. I spent more training in this game than I did on anything else, so make sure you have some coin to spare before you start.

A few rules:

• You can only train once with each trainer.
• You need to meet the requirements to train, meaning you need the minimum amount of skill level, but cannot exceed the maximum. For example, Journeyman trainers require you to have at least a skill level of 4, but no more than 6, otherwise they can’t train you.

Skills you have trained in will not be reset when you re-spec your character.

Kingdoms Of Amalur Reckoning Armor Sets Locations

Now that you know all the basics, you can use the Fateweaver system to get lots of easy skill points quickly.

Basically, if there’s a trainer you want to train with, you can use a Fateweaver to re-spec your character (resets all skills and ability points) to meet the minimum requirements, or drop down below the maximum in case you’ve already exceeded it. Then when you’ve trained all that you can, visit a Fateweaver again and reset your skills a second time. When you re-spec your character the way that you intend to play with, you’ll now have those extra skill points, allowing you to use non-training skill points however you like.

Early Lore Stone Bonuses
Lore Stones are magical statues hidden all over the game world. Finding one will grant you a small XP bonus and add that lore stone to your collection. When you complete a set, you will be given a permanent stat bonus, such as increased damage, health, or experience gain.

It’s easy to miss Lore Stones, as there are tons, usually tucked away in nooks and crannies, but with a maxed out Detect Hidden skill, Lore Stones will show up on your map (along with hidden objects, secret doors, and treasure chests).

If you don’t want to level up your Detect Hidden skill but do want the bonuses (which are best grabbed early on, before they become negligible), there is a way. The Master skill levels (8-10) unlock at level 16, so as soon as you reach that level, find a Fateweaver and re-spec, putting 10 points in Detect Hidden. Now roam around each area looking for Lore Stones. This can get pretty time-consuming with all the exploring and traveling and combat in-between, but the end result will be worth it. Plus you’ll get an Achievement for finding every stone.

When you’re all done, re-spec back to however you want and proceed on with the game.

You can use the same trick for Alchemy, Blacksmithing, or Sagecrafting, if you plan to go on a crafting spree.

Learn all Alchemy recipes early
Just like with the Lore Stones, by temporarily re-specing all your points into the Alchemy skill, you can unlock every recipes in the game.

Then you simply take note of whichever recipes you need, and re-spec back to normal. Now you can choose “Experiment,” and once you successfully create the potion(s) you want, they will be permanently added to your recipe list, without the need to buy the recipe from a shop or use the Master Alchemy skill.

Gain all divine blessings whenever you want
Divine blessings are temporary bonuses granted by shrines placed throughout Amalur. They will appear as a green dot on your map, and you should always activate them whenever you see one.

Kingdoms Of Amalur Reckoning Armor Gems

However, in the city of Ysa, which is located roughly in the center of the Western continent on your map, there is a platform with six shrines. They will drastically increase your damage output, health/mana leeching, experience gain, and reduce the cost of spells by 25%. The effects only last for a few minutes, but they’re very potent, especially when all combined.

Once you have discovered Ysa, you can instantly fast-travel to these shrines at any time. Pretty much any time I was going to travel into new, hostile areas (usually heading from point A to point B for a question), or about to enter a dungeon, I would make a quick stop by Ysa to “power up.” It really does make a huge difference, and can even be done before some boss battles.

You can’t fast-travel from inside a building or dungeon, but anywhere else is fine. The whole process takes less than 60 seconds, but if you’re on a journey, just make sure you’ve discovered a nearby location that you can warp back to before heading to Ysa.

Do you need all these damn books/notes?
If you can add an item to your junk pile or sell it, it is not a quest item and can be disposed of. If you’re wondering why you have no inventory space, you might have picked up a lot of crap that you don’t really need!

Glitch: Wear both weapons
Despite carrying two weapons (and a shield) at all times, you only ever see one, depending on which you’ve used last. To get around this, temporarily, you can simply re-spec your skills. Weapons don’t have stat requirements, only level requirements, so after you re-appropriate all your skills and abilities and re-equip your armor, you should be left standing with both weapons visible on your body.

Kingdoms Of Amalur Reckoning Armor Crafting Guide

This will last until you attack with either weapon, so it’s not very useful, but it can come in handy if you’re looking to take some bad-ass screenshots!

Ceremonial Armor Set

Does difficulty really affect achievements?
Yes, but only one. There is a 100-point secret Achievement for beating the game on Hard. I beat the game on Normal and then reloaded the final boss and set the game to Hard, but this didn’t unlock the Achievement. So you’ll have to start out on Hard if you’re going for 1000/1000.

Even on Hard, the game isn’t too difficult, but you’ll definitely need to spend a little more time leveling up and finding/buying/making the best available equipment.
