Toughness | Hero - Special Skills Risen 2 Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Kick - a skill you should really learn. It not only helps in encounters with Giant Crabs, but also with any human opponent. Press Space while fighting to push the enemy away. It's particularly useful when you're using firearms and wish to keep the foe at a safe distance. Even so, fencers should buy it too, as it will give them a moment of peace between the rain of blows. Requires Toughness at 1.

Kick

Liquid Courage - lengthens the duration of painkillers. You won't find too many of them in your way, and those bought from traders are simply expensive. Think about buying it if you really want to reduce damage dealt to you. Requires Toughness at 2.

Quack - increases the Nameless Hero's health points by 20. Only Bones can you teach you this skill (found in the Maracai Bay). Buying Quack pay off, because the difference in the hero's stamina is very noticeable. Requires Toughness at 4.

Distiller - enables brewing any kind of liquor. It's unrewarding for a purely economical point of view - recipes and ingredients cost a lot more than the finished product. Since there are plenty of alcoholic beverages to be found in the game, choosing this skill doesn't make much sense. Requires Toughness at 6.

Distiller

Doctor - increases the Nameless Hero's health points by 30. It's a big enough difference for the skill to be worth the thought. It's worth the costs even though it requires having Quack first - the sum of all the bonuses is 50 health points. The only minus is that the only character who can teach it to you is Bones (met fairly late in the game). Requires Toughness at 1 and Quack.

Indestructible - allows the Nameless Hero to slowly regenerate health points. Requires Quack and Distiller first, but helps cut the costs on grog and provisions - the balance is pretty equaled. What's more, Indestructible greatly helps during fights - the Nameless Hero is healing, while his opponent is not (the longer fights are pretty easy that way). The only minus is that the only character who can teach it to you is Bones (met fairly late in the game). Requires Toughness at 10 and Doctor.

Indestructible

Bladeproof - increases the resistance to blades by 5 points (for each skill level). The majority of foes fight in close combat, so it's better to have it even only on the basic level. Subsequent levels of this skill require Toughness at: 2 and 5.

Bulletproof - increases the resistance to bullets by 5 points (for each skill level). Only certain human opponents use firearms, and the difference isn't too great, so you can skip it. Subsequent levels of this skill require Toughness at: 3 and 6.

Intimidate - increases the effectiveness of Intimidate by 5 points (for each skill level). Using this type of persuasion is utterly useless, so it doesn't make much sense to spend money on it. Subsequent levels of this skill require Toughness at: 1, 4 and 7.
