Grim Dawn im Test: Das Action-Rollenspiel verdient sich eine neue Höchstwertung (2024)

FAQs

What happens when you change the difficulty in Grim Dawn? ›

Veteran mode increases the challenge on Normal difficulty by making monsters stronger and tougher. You will also encounter an increased number of spawns, with a noticeable increase in the spawn rate of champion and hero monsters.

The choice affects the events of the Forgotten Gods expansion slightly.

When focusing on the main objectives, Grim Dawn is about 21½ Hours in length. If you're a gamer that strives to see all aspects of the game, you are likely to spend around 187 Hours to obtain 100% completion.

The chance to critically strike is PTH - 90. If you have 95% PTH, you will have a 5% Critical Chance . If you have 110% PTH, you will have a 20% Critical Chance. Critical Strikes appear in different multipliers, depending on the PTH Threshold.

The highest possible critical multiplier is x1. 5, but to achieve this threshold you must either significantly out-level your target or have invested heavily in your OA. Both weapon attacks and abilities rely on OA to hit and critically hit, so OA is an important attribute for any character.

There's tons of content included in the base game but to get the most out of Grim Dawn I'd recommend grabbing both of the main DLC's. Ashes of Malmouth and Forgotten Gods both offer new masteries (classes) new campaign content and in the case of forgotten gods new endless content.

Grim Dawn. Most folks say it doesn't matter whether choosing Kymons Chosen or Deaths Vigil. The Homestead reps tell you Kymons Chosen focuses on fire, lightning, and physical dmg and Deaths Vigil focuses on cold, vitality, and minions.

There is no hard cap on pet number as far as I know. It depends on character skills and equipment. There are items that allow you to summon more than one pet, Revenant constellation can summon up to 6 skeletons.

Despite being released in 2016, there was a massive patch just before the new year that brought numerous QOL changes, and there's even more content coming in 2024. This is an absolute steal and must-play if you're at all interested in the genre.

The level cap is 85, increased to 100 with the Ashes of Malmouth expansion. At levels 2 through 50, you earn 3 skill points per level. At levels 51 through 90, you earn 2 skill points per level.

Does Grim Dawn have an ending? ›

b) There is no actual conclusion to the story. Yes, many of the storylines continue and are resolved in the expansions, but there's no "I've done it, all's right with Cairn now" resolution.

GrimDawn is an exceptional game and the best of its kind as it surpasses Diablo 4 and Path of Exile in one way or another. Tons of content, tons of customization, really unique builds for your character. Beautiful graphics and sound, incredible boss fights etc.

You can earn up to 50 Devotion Points throughout Grim Dawn's 3 Difficulty Modes. (With the Ashes of Malmouth expansion, the Devotion Point cap is increased to 55.) Note that, unless you own the Forgotten Gods expansion, not all shrines that appear on Normal/Veteran Difficulty will appear on Elite Difficulty.

Enemies have always scaled in the game; just slightly differently in the latest patch probably because of the change to make it possible for people to get up to L100 in Normal or Elite difficulties.

As with Titan Quest and some other games of the ARPG genre, each subsequent difficulty is unlocked by defeating the Final Boss of the base game on the previous difficulty (ex. to unlock Elite Difficulty, you must first complete Normal Difficulty base game content).

Yes, but with 3rd party tools, such as "save file editor" (which I also use from time to time). First things first is, you must remove all skills from the previous mastery (so they don't stay there after mastery removal) and simply remove the mastery with the tool. Use same tactic to add chosen mastery.

Nope, you need to kill Loghorrean on Normal difficulty which will unlock both Elite and Ultimate now. Before it would only unlock Elite. You can still use Merit Tokens to unlock difficulties from the start.

Devotion points can also be completely reset by using a Tonic of Clarity, which can drop only from Nemesis bosses.
