Rogue Legacy 2 Tips and Tricks

Rogue Legacy 2 is finally out, and we know a lot of fans can’t wait to jump straight into the thick of it!  It can seem overwhelming for novice adventurers to get started. Here are some tips and tricks that will help them.

TIPS AND TICKS

Get Rich or Die Trying – Manor Gold Upgrades:  Rogue Legacy 2This is an extremely difficult game and can seem overwhelming at the start.  Your Manor has a ton of upgrades to help you overcome these challenges, but there’s a lot to sift through, so here’s a few skills we recommend new players seek out.  The very first upgrade in the Manor gives gold bonuses to the Traits you choose, but it doesn’t stop there.  Repurposed Mining Shaft gives Trait bonuses and Offshore Banking allows you to accumulate more gold slowly until you can spend it.  These skills may appear expensive but you’ll gain an advantage quickly if you buy them before they are too costly.

Mastery XP OP – the Sage Totem:  Purchasing stat upgrades in your Manor isn’t the only way to power up your character.  The Sage Totem unlocks Mastery XP. This allows all hero classes to become more powerful as they play.  These strengths can be carried over from one class to the next, and are even more powerful.  Quick and easy bonuses can be earned by players who purchase the Sage Totem to help them diversify their classes.

Gotta Catch ‘Em All – Heirlooms: We don’t want to spoil too much, but when scouring around the Kingdom, be sure to stay on the lookout for Heirlooms.  These challenges may look daunting or ominous initially, but fortune favors those who are bold.  While you might not be able to conquer all of their challenges in the first attempt, those who persevere and win the final battle will reap the most rewards.

Show Me Your Moves  – Spells and Talents:  Don’t build bad habits!  Try casting every ability you have, even if no enemies are around, just to help you understand your character’s strengths.  Your weapon may be powerful, but every hero class has its own Talent and random Spell. Using them all will help you succeed.  Mana is plentiful in RL2, so don’t be afraid to experiment!

Another Level to Combat – Skill Crits:  Once you’ve grown accustomed to using all of your abilities, you can start taking things to the next level with Skill Critical Strikes, also known as Skill Crits.  There are many ways to do extra damage with every weapon or spell, including attacking while dashing, hitting enemies from the height of your blade strike, and even hitting them at the top of their blade strikes.  Skill Crits can be extremely rewarding and they get more powerful as you gain experience.  The nuances of the game will allow you to quickly take down your most powerful enemies.

Master Mobility – Spin Kicks:  There’s a reason why we have you Spin Kick so many times in the tutorial.  You can find the tutorial here. Rogue Legacy 2The Spin Kick is your life.  The Spin Kick is a great way to improve your fighting skills and enhance your platforming.  In fact, it’s so versatile that you can beat the entire game with that one move alone.  It’s not recommended, but it is possible (yes, someone has done it).

It takes practice to be perfect – The architect:  We’ve taken great pains to make sure every boss in Rogue Legacy 2You can beat it without ever taking a single hit.  It takes a ton of practice, but fortunately there’s an easy way to keep trying until you become that good.  The Architect can give you the power to secure the Kingdom, and stop it from being changed once the purchase has been made in the Manor.  If you’ve found the boss room already, a locked Kingdom means you can battle the boss over and over, as they are merely a teleporter away.

Pro tip: Spend an heir or two just dodging the boss’s attacks, and see how long you can last.  By focusing purely on defense and not worrying about offense, it’s easier to learn the boss’s attack patterns and timings.  Once they’re all figured out, you can bring the fight to them.

Play Your Way – House RulesDespite following these suggestions, Rogue Legacy 2There is still a lot to learn and there may be some difficulties.  Or maybe you don’t want to invest so much time, and instead want to relax on the couch and chill.  Everyone’s different, and House Rules lets you tweak the experience to your own liking.  You can adjust the difficulty or toggle damage to contact, slow down the time, and change the speed of the game.

Play however you want, and don’t worry, there is no punishment for using House Rules.

This should be enough to get you started.  Don’t touch the controller until you know what to do. Rogue Legacy 2It’s not all about quick reactions and fast fingers.  The key to success is equipping yourself with the necessary knowledge and persevering.  You should never stop learning as much information about the game and this guide is only a small part of it.  There’s a ton more to seek, discover, and most importantly, enjoy.  Thank you for reading and have fun! Rogue Legacy 2.
