Divinity Original Sin: Enhanced Edition — Reaching the Source Temple

Plat­form: Xbox One

There seems to be few walk­throughs for this part of the game which is very much dif­fer­ent from the orig­i­nal. So, to reach the Source Tem­ple in Phan­tom For­est in the Enhanced Edi­tion of Divin­i­ty Orig­i­nal Sin, you need to acti­vate 4 switch­es. It does­n’t mat­ter what order you do these in, but there’s an ide­al order the game devel­op­ers want­ed you to (Air, Earth, Ice, Fire). Hon­est­ly, though, it’s faster to go Fire, Air, Earth, then Ice. That way you’d have faster access to the unlocked stone door after the Ice switch.

Air (x:230, y:210)

I tele­port­ed a Source Hunter in through the gates, then picked up the key sit­ting on the crates to the left. Alter­nate­ly, if your telekine­sis is high enough, just snag it through the iron gate. Because the oil is annoy­ing, I threw crates on top of the traps. Open the gates to let your team­mates in, as there’s a Demon that will pop up you need to kill before start­ing down the stairs. Hit the switch at the bot­tom of the steps to the left of the next gate. It will light up green for suc­cess.

Earth (x:252, y:264)

Open the door next to the Air switch (or alter­nate­ly come in from the swamp side of the map, though watch your step). Dis­con­nect a char­ac­ter from your par­ty. The sen­tinel will see you and make the ins­ta-kill lava on the ground. I used my rogue with Winged Feet. There’s a round pres­sure switch on the ground near the gob­lin totem. Plop a crate on there which will open the door to where the earth switch is. I did­n’t see under­stand what the switch did ini­tial­ly, so I parked my rogue at the Earth switch door and used my oth­er source hunter with high telekine­sis to throw a crate from the door­way. Then when the door is opened, you can con­tin­ue on with Winged Feet onto the to hit the Earth switch, or use the 2 tele­port scrolls in the cor­ner to hit it. This will open the near­by door which is a path to the ice switch as well as cause the sen­tinel in the pri­or room to crum­ble.

I already hit the earth switch. Some forum men­tioned that you can throw the sen­tinel around, but I tried and could­n’t.

Ice (x:224, y:350)

From the Earth room, head through the new­ly opened stone door. Whether you entered from the stone door or the swamp side, don’t step on the dark tiles as they are all switch­es that will acti­vate ins­ta-kill lava. I’m not sure what the totem does because I killed it first with my archer. Then I used Winged Feet and pulled the lever on the wall behind the totem’s back which elim­i­nat­ed the lava and opened the iron door to the grassy area. Now, find the 3 stat­ues (knight, wor­ship­per, and fish), then “move” them onto their respec­tive 3 green pedestals (there are carv­ings on top of them). Then, as Izma said to Kro­nk, “PULL THE LEVER!” A green mir­ror will appear. Go through it and hit the Ice switch.

I can’t believe I could­n’t fig­ure this out with­out online help. It’s so sim­ple.

Fire

In the Ice switch room, there are levers. You’re sup­posed to split your team up and keep some­one at the levers to open and close the doors below. That will help you reach the fire switch. You can’t just tele­port through these gates because there are steam clouds that block your cast­er’s vision. In the mul­ti-gat­ed cor­ri­dor there is a sen­tinel, lava and a met­al crate. Seems com­pli­cat­ed and time con­sum­ing because it is. The sim­ple way is to head west near the wood­en bridge to where there is an iron gate. Then just tele­port your­self in, hit the Fire switch, the door opens, and voila! Alter­nate­ly, you could have entered the area from the back­side (there are two chests down that path around the left side of the area that leads to the mul­ti-gat­ed cor­ri­dor) or even use the green mir­ror por­tal right behind where you enter to get the Air switch.

The path to the iron gate you should tele­port through is south of my cur­sor. My peeps are chill­in’ in the Ice switch room

Hope­ful­ly it becomes of use to some­one. In ret­ro­spect, I don’t under­stand how I could­n’t just fig­ure this out on my own. The Air and Earth ones were easy, but the Ice and Fire had me run­ning all over the place and wast­ing loads of time.

Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition DLC Costume References

I had the hard­est time try­ing to find a list of cos­tume ref­er­ences in Tales of Ves­pe­ria: Defin­i­tive Edi­tion. After much search­ing (and even being insult­ed in a fan group for “not know­ing Nam­co games”), I spent a lot of time sift­ing through search engines and turn­ing out this list. In the end I JUST found this site which had pret­ty much every­thing. ‑_-” So, here they are in a list.

If you see any­more, feel free to com­ment!
