Doneigad’s Initiation in Greedfall 2

Doneigad’s Initiation is a quest in Greedfall 2: The Dying World. It’s the prologue that combines learning combat and finishing two initiate’s quests.

Greedfall 2: The Dying World is heavy in the choices matters side of things, from losing reputation to gaining reputation depending on a single choice. Some quests have a variety of these choice sections throughout. Therefore…I won’t be going through all the choice outcomes.

Meet Mev at the Ritual Arena

The Ritual Arena is around the southern portion of town.

You just need to approach for a cutscene.

This is the point where you’re going to learn about the combat, and depending on what type of combat you chose, this may be a bit different from person to person. For me, I chose Tactical.

First off, we learn about attacks and action points.

Basically, Basic Attack generates Action Points, so all you need to do, is use your basic attack on the enemy until you’ve generated 2 action points.

Next up is using your skills, which use a specific amount of action points to their name, depicted by the blue dots above the skill’s icon. Just use one skill on your action bar.

Now for the attack and defence.

First off, are shields, which represent the total value of the armor, reduces physical damage, and can be broken by specific skills. Not only that, but magical deflection is a blue bar added onto HP. It reinforces shields, which can reduce magical damage–something a regular shield won’t do.

Get rid of the magical deflection and destroy the shields of the enemy.

Our two companions are now going to join us in combat–Nilan, who’s a hunter that heals, and Sheda, who’s a warrior.

I won’t be going through a tutorial on how you win this battle or the best ways to combat against enemies, because quite frankly, I’m not that great at it. This is quite a bit different from the other two or three tactical games I’ve ever played, blending real time movement with the character you’re controlling and the tactical side of things.

I like it, but I’m bad.

Once the enemies are defeated, you move onto the next phase of the quest.

Complete Initiation Missions

There are two additional quests you receive here:

• A New Evil
• A Dying Forest

Each are their own quest, but they must both be completed before progressing and finishing this one.

After you’ve completed both quests, speak with Mev.

End the Day

If you haven’t completed all the quests in the area, you should do so before continuing this quest and completing it fully, because once it’s done, you will no longer be here, and I’m going to assume that all the quests will fail once that happens.

Head to your home, where you’ll find a bed, storage, and a workbench, for all your needs in one place.

Once inside, speak to Daren to tell her about your adventures.

Now rest in your bed.

Take part in the initiation ritual

Leave your home to meet up with your two companions.

Next, fast travel to Ancient Forest, then make your way east to where the cave is for the ritual. Sheda will be left behind outside while you and Nilan make your way to the center for a cutscene.

Walk Toflan back to the village

Make your way back to the cave entrance. Not too far outside, a battle will begin.

Don’t worry, you’re not meant to win it.
