8. Interesting little things

Discover Titan Quest 2 work arounds like stat requirement tricks, mule characters, and an infinite XP exploit in the Egypt level.

Work Arounds:

• Stat Requirements: If you need a few more Strength (str) points to equip an item, equip another item that provides at least +5 str bonus or reduces requirements. Then, equip the desired item, and finally, remove the temporary item. The bonus from the first item will allow you to keep wearing it. Alternatively, use skills that increase your str, like rage, to meet the requirement. As long as you don't remove the item, you can continue to wear it.
• Mule-ing (Item Transfer): This is not considered cheating and allows you to exchange equipment between characters. Have a friend create a new online game. Join their game and drop the items you wish to transfer. Exit the game with your first character. Then, join the game again with your second character and pick up the items. You can also create dedicated characters (mules) to store items and transfer them to your main characters.

Infinite XP Trick:

This is not a cheat but a method to reach level 65. It requires a good ranged attack, preferably one with low energy usage if you are using magic. In the Egypt level, during the battle against the four large statues, destroy the obelisk and the two statues closest to the door, leaving the other two statues and obelisks. Move to the SE corner of the room, hold down the shift key to stay put, and fire at the center of the room. If positioned correctly, you will hit undead monsters that continuously spawn as they are killed. Each undead monster grants experience points (XP). You can use an object to hold down the shift key and the attack button to automate this process.

Final Things:

• Telkine Encounter (Patch 1.11): On patch 1.11, it was observed that after being killed by the Telkine, if you returned while he was walking away, he might not notice you. You could creep behind him and attack, and he would not turn around. Continuing to attack from behind allowed players to defeat him without losing any additional health.
• Enemy Drops: Enemies drop the equipment they are wearing and use the weapons you see them with. Pay close attention to the different colored armor and weapons they wield, as these items will be dropped upon their defeat.
• Physics and Animations: The game features exaggerated physics; enemies can be knocked off ledges or pits. Some enemies, like satyrs, can be launched into the air with a club bash. The twisted bodies of dead enemies are also a notable detail. Some non-player characters (NPCs) have more advanced animations than your character; for example, Diomedes at the start was observed waving his arms while the player character remained in a static pose. You can also observe animations like the heads of cows/bulls moving, water rippling, and grass swaying.
• Lack of Blood: Despite the violent nature of the game, there is no blood, likely to maintain a lower age rating.
