Things Game Never Tells You

Tips

  1. Loading screen talking about pure lightning damage not increasing when you add more elements is wrong.
    Damage difference is small tho, on normal mode 5x lightning damage increases to 1.5x value of 1x lightning.
    Pure lightning is pointless on most singleplayer levels anyway.
  2. The only way to not take damage from Furious Fowl is single shield element (E), Disruptor magick or invincibility bug,
    It will always hurt your friends without these.
    It deals physical (not sure if earth or ice specifically), lightning and death damage + makes you wet
    Also I've not checked, but - Death robe will probably get healed by birds if they have lightning absorption on.
  3. When Guardian magick ends it will revive player who died first. It won't revive a pet tho.
    This way you can res. your friends in challanges that don't allow revive magick and also yourself even if your pet is dead.
    (game actually does mention revive effect, but noob players forget about it/don't notice)
    Keep in mind that pet might sacrifice itself anyway if all players are dead at the time.
  4. One of Scroll Magick RNG effects is revive.
    This way you can res. your pet in challanges that don't allow revive magick.
  5. In few of Trials you can unlock new magicks, 1 of them (prism) allows you to create beam bombs on your own. One of other magick is Sacrifice which kills you after a short moment and reives everyone.
    One of DLCs also unlocks those magicks right away.
  6. There are 5 types of beam bombs:
    death - has most range, if players have death ward it's very nice on multi
    steam - only bomb that can be done without using life beam, feskar robe can tank it on normal mode, so I guess it's meta in a way
    poison - one of few poison spells that deal good damage and first bomb that you can do with help of enemies
    ice - the only physical damage bomb, I think it bugs sometimes and armor will not always protect you from it
    lightning - the only bomb you can't do with just enemy beams
  7. If you want to 100% the game you have to play beginning of 4th chapter on multiplayer and do the puzzle here.
    That is the only multiplayer exclusive.
    (other than Platypus set that you get for making Paradox account, and you need it for non-local multiplayer)
  8. Staff of Lok, Jester and Founder make that you only need 2 elements in a shield (other than shield) to prevent status effects (you still take damage).
    If you use other robe than Feskar (fish) one, when you selfcast EQQ you are immune to being wet.
    So you can use EQQQRD for best results I guess.
    (you will still need EQQQQ to prevent being pushed by water)
  9. After beating final boss on bananas there is a secret post credit vid.
  10. You can unlock stuff for free if you join game before level ends, don't even need to be revived.
  11. Pit Manager and Murry revive whole team

(well previous two probably most people know anyway)

  1. You can change gear by clicking on your name in menu (not while playing), you can even do
    it after every checkpoint
  2. You can't change your wizard name, need to make new account (rip) your gear will move over if you don't delete local and cloud saves, so no need to win it back
  3. Item descriptions are sometimes misleading, for example mallet and soul screecher are the same even tho description suggests that mallet deals more damage
    (there is other guide that lists all of item effects)
  4. When chat bugs, it actually still works, you just need to scroll
