Frequently Asked Questions about ELEX

We answer the most popular questions about the game ELEX.

How to join the clerics?

Head to Hort, located in the upper right corner of the map. Go to the territory of the city and look for a fortress in its far part (the image of a "fortress" above the main entrance to the building), in which Reinhold is located. Talk to him on all topics and say that you want to join the clerics.

Complete his "Night Adventures" quest, then find Dietrich and complete his "Supplier" quest.

Indeed, to join the clerics, it is enough to complete only these two quests, which we described in detail in another section:

• Night adventures.
• Provider.

How to join the Berserkers?

At the beginning of the game, you will visit Goliet, where you will be led by Duras, the first character you meet. Climb up and talk to Ragnar. He is the leader of the city. To join the faction, you will need to complete a HUGE number of side quests that will be given to you by the inhabitants of the city. At the same time, honest decisions should be made that do not contradict the laws of the Berserkers. For example, when asked to bring a firearm, tell them what to do.it is forbidden.

Here is a list of quests and quest givers:

• The path to distant lands (Ragnar).
• Free beer (Drog) - Ragnar will not particularly trust his words.
• Missing weapons and dead people - Riyka, Ragnar's wife.
• Bring the Light (Yora).
• Clan troubles (Kormag, in the building near Duras and Ragnar's old inn).
• There is always something to do! (Ragnar).
• Elex for Mana Sanctuary (Caldrim).
• Old accounts (Ornier).
• Forbidden Technology (Angrim).
• False teaching (Angrim).

ATTENTION ! It is not necessary to complete each of the listed tasks. Perhaps some of them will suffice. Just periodically after completing most of them, approach Ragnar and ask how things are going. He will tell you if you can join a faction or if you need to do something else.

Which faction to choose?

It is impossible to unequivocally answer which faction will be correct and best. It all depends on your preferences. There are three factions in the game - Berserkers, Clerics and Outcasts. Each of the factions has unique features and skills that will enhance one or another style of play. Think in advance which faction you want to choose for further play.

You can't change factions from one to another!

Berserkers

"Berserkers" will reward you with access to various magic spells, but at the same time, according to its laws, it is forbidden to use firearms, modern weapons. Of the unique abilities of this faction, I would like to note the summoning of ghosts, the rapid recovery of wounds and the increase in damage.

Berserkers can enchant weapons - enchantment can only be applied to old axes, hammers or swords. You can also shoot multiple arrows at once (but only with a bow). In this way, you can create a melee character who uses spells and his bow to power up.

• Faction City : Goliet.
• Leader : Ragnar.
• Unique weapons : axes, swords, blades.
• Armor "Berserkers" : the armor of the farmer, the armor of the warrior and the armor of the paladin.

It is this skill that affects the ability to improve magical weapons and increase resistance to poisoning.
• "Magic" will increase spell damage and duration.
• "Mana" with each new level will increase the total amount of mana that is needed to activate various spells.
• Enchanting Weapons will help you set up enchantments that increase damage. The higher the ability, the better.

• "Heal" will allow you to restore the HP of Jax and your own allies.

outcasts

The characters of this faction predominantly use rifles that fire regular bullets, and not plasma (like clerics). In addition, representatives of this faction use special workbenches to produce weapons. Outcasts have a huge number of skills that are used during crafting - in the manufacture of weapons, ammunition. This faction is the only faction that can produce and use preps that provide certain bonuses.

In addition, after joining the Outcasts, you will be able to dismantle any weapon into parts. These parts are either sold or used to make other equipment.

• Faction City : Fort

How to save the game?

Unfortunately, even after several patches have been released, some Elex playersface a challenge in maintaining their achievements. For example, the game crashes, or after a normal restart, it turns out that the “Continue” and “Download” buttons are simply not available, as if there were no save files on the computer at all. Gamers have no choice but to start a New Game.

In fact, saves from the computer do not go anywhere. They are still on your PC, it's just that the game itself loses contact with them. In order to deal with the problem, you need to go to the game settings and get into the mount_packed.xml file located in the data / ini folder. In fact, this is a standard text file that can be opened using basic Notepad or one of the other editors (Notepad ++ has a special advantage). In the latter case, all the syntax used in xml files will be highlighted, and you will be able to quickly navigate through the settings.

Having opened this file, you will need to specify a link to the location where the saves are stored. This folder can be found through the search bar if you enter the query SaveGames. Move to the correct directory, which should ideally be on your hard drive, and then look for the following data:

CreateFolder="true"

VirtualPath="save"

PhysicalPath = "$(savedgames)/ELEX/SaveGames"

Opposite the PhysicalPath parameter, you should set the address of the save folder, where they are located. After that, you will get rid of the accessibility problem.

How to find out the version of the game?

Navigate to ELEX\system\ELEX.exe, then right-click on the "executable", select "File Properties" and select the "Version" category. Here you will see something like 1.0.3258.0.

What is coldness (how to know)?

As conceived by the developers, "Coldness" Jax allows you to show the gamer how the main character is human or synthetic. Jax was once in the ranks of the Albs, a faction that consumes elex on a daily basis, thanks to which its members become much stronger, but completely lose all their emotions. From the very beginning of the game, you will notice that Jax does not show any feelings, talking with other people as concisely as possible and exclusively on business.

At the beginning of the game, "Coldness" will be neutral (zero), but in almost every dialogue and decision made, this parameter will increase or decrease. This includes both story and side quests. Keeping track of "coldness" is not so easy, because the developers have hidden from us all its possible digital manifestations. You can see Jax's trait which indicates what level it is??n his coldness.

From the coldness will depend on how other characters relate to GG. Basically, it's still the same reputation system used in other RPGs. A scoundrel will never be warmly welcomed by the people, nor will a decent guy by bandits.

Remember once and for all:

• A decrease in coldness leads to a good outlook.
• The increase in coldness makes Jax callous.

The main coldness changes will occur during dialogue branches with various characters. But if in such projects as Mass Effect and Dragon Age good and bad phrases were highlighted right when selected in the dialog box, then in Elex there are no such designations. However, in most cases, the lower replicas lead to a decrease in the morale of the hero, that is, increase the coldness.

If you do not set yourself the rules of behavior, then coldness will constantly jump from side to side. It is best to choose in advance who you want to be - a human or an insensitive robot.

You will need to save before each conversation so that in cases where the answers do not suit your worldview, you can easily reload and click on another cue. And here we are talking about phrases that lower silt?? that increase Jax's reputation for this character, as well as about the lines that affect the coldness.

How is coldness related to the plot?

At the beginning of the game it will seem that this parameter does not really affect anything, but very soon you will understand how it relates to the game world. For example, during dialogues, lines will begin to appear that require high or low coldness, while the surrounding characters will begin to treat Jax better or worse.

Thus, acting at random in dialogues is not recommended - it is best to stick to one given reference point from the very beginning of the game. In the future, you will be able to put pressure on various characters.

Also, the coldness is associated with the ending of the game. There are three of them, and you can get it in case of high, neutral or low coldness.

Not every dialogue phrase affects coldness. In the event that the parameter is changed, a corresponding notification appears on the screen. Drinking any Elex you have prepared increases your coldness by 0.1 units.

From the list below you will find out the digital values of coldness. You also need to remember that the character becomes emotional after the coldness drops below 20 units, neutral - 40-60, and synthetic - from 80 and above. To the beginninge games your coldness is equal to 50 points!

• Fully emotional - 0 units.
• Expressive - 0-10 units.
• Irrational - 11-20 units.
• Spontaneous - 21-30 units.
• Intuitive - 31-40 units.
• Neutral - 41-59 units.
• Insensitive - 60-69 units.
• Sentimental - 70-79 units.
• Logical - 80-89 units.
• Icy Calm - 90-99 units.
• Synthetic - 100 units.

There is one notable error. If your coldness is equal to any value ending in "9", then the game may erroneously indicate a "fully emotional" state. For example, we are talking about 29, 59, etc.

How to improve the jetpack?

Jetpack only upgrades for melee attacks. Apart from this, no other upgrades are provided.

How to increase charisma / how to download charisma?

To increase the level of charisma, it is recommended to find a teacher named Sandra. You will not see any function, but by learning absolutely any skill, you will receive one point to the character's charisma. That is, it is similar to survival and combat.

There are also four more skills to increase charisma, survival, craft and combat by ten points - you need to pass a test in the dialogue.

How to increase endurance?

In the place shown in the screenshot below, you can find a potion that increases stamina:

02.jpg - Characteristics and composition of the potion.

How to increase the size of subtitles?

Unfortunately, you can't increase the subtitles in the game itself. Perhaps, soon or by the time you read the article, the developers will release a patch.

How to craft potions?

A workbench is used to make various potions. Each faction has its own workbench, while the potions available for production will be different. Forsworn allows you to produce powerful narcotic preps that give a serious increase in certain characteristics, but reward their "master" with side effects.

Workbenches can be found in the cities of each faction. In addition, in the settlement of Istok, which you can capture and use as your own home, it will be possible to equip another workbench. In addition, crafting something will require blueprints and ingredients. Having got everything you need, go to the workbench, select the tab with the manufacture of potions and start crafting.

Ka?? dig ore?

In order to mine ore, you will need a jackhammer. You can find one of these either in the pit with the berserk weapons, under Goliet, or in the gorge near the Outcast Fort. In addition, some merchants offer a hammer in their assortment.

As for the skill, it will only affect how many minerals you mine in a certain amount of time. You can mine ore even without this skill, if you have a jackhammer.

How to buy a house?

The camp in the center is a fortified village located on a hill bordering between Abessa and Edan, east of Dome City and north of Goliet. This location is shown in the screenshot below.

03.jpg - Location of the Source, the camp in the center.

You can visit the Istok at any time during the passage of Elex, but be prepared to meet serious opponents along the way. There you will unlock the quest. But there is an alternative way to find out about this settlement. For example, after you find Ray at the Three Pines Motel, you will learn about the existence of this village.

Chat with Lloyd in the Origin, complete a few side quests, and then gain access to your own dwelling.

Eckard

This character can give you one of three important tasks. You need to talk to him in a polite tone, otherwise the battle will begin. He wants you to bring three protectors to him for the Source. These defenders can only be your companions. But here it is worth understanding that these satellites will not go anywhere from you - they will become defenders on your orders, but they will also be able to follow you around the world if they wish.

For each companion that joins, you will receive 500 experience points. An additional thousand will be credited as soon as you find all three satellites.

harley

The second person to give you the task is Harley. He works as a mechanic and will ask you to find a part for him from a broken 7300 series battle colossus. Defeating him will not be easy, so ideally wait and pump Jax to the maximum.

Jonesy

Jonesy will give you the last task. You will have to destroy 10 monsters located near the village. Kill them one by one, don't fight more than two mutants. If you have a strong hero, then you can handle them on your own. In other scenarios, you can lureenemies closer to Jonesy. For each animal killed, you will be awarded 125 experience points, plus another thousand for the extermination of all monsters. Report the completion of Jonesy's mission to receive an additional 1000 XP and 200 Shards.

As soon as you complete ALL THREE quests, then return to Lloyd and report it. For helping all people, you will receive another 3000 experience points and a key to the tower. This tower will be your property, your home. You will become the leader of the Source!

How not to kill Callax?

If you don't want to start a fight with Kallax, then try to save and reload the game before the dialogue starts. Do this several times, it may not work right away.

To not kill Kallax, you will need a level 80 coldness. In this case, after the battle with Callax, the enemy does not die, but is simply temporarily stunned. After that, you will be able to chat with Jax's brother.

It was checked for sure - I personally set the “coldness” trainer to 80 and made sure that after the battle, Kallax does not die, but temporarily loses consciousness, after which Jax can talk to him.

How to find Clerics?

Finding clerics is quite simple - open the map and find a large fortress in the upper right corner among the snows. It starts just at the place where the snows appear.

How to find Stormson?

As part of one of the quests, you will need to find Stormson, who, according to rumors, has disappeared somewhere in the forest, in which he is perfectly oriented. There will be no marker on the map. Another marker points exclusively to Olrik, who will not tell you anything sensible.

Look for Stormson next to the volcano's mouth, not far from the clerics, but this is a bug. After being fixed in the next patch, he moves to the mine of clerics, where he works.

04.jpg - Location of Stormson.

How to find contracts for Ray?

At the beginning of the game, you will see a cut-scene in which a stranger steals all of Jax's armor and equipment.

Activate the mission to get a marker pointing to the Three Pines Motel. Go there, talk to Ray and take new tasks from him.

One of these tasks is related to contracts to kill Ray. In total, the unknown gave ten mercenaries (groups of mercenaries) a contract to get rid of Ray. You will see the location of the first five on your map - go to them, kill them or convince them to give up the contracts.

But what to do next? Be patient ?? get to the third story chapter to meet with Ray at the camp, where he will continue the quest chain. You find the first five contracts personally, but the other five can only be obtained from the customer himself - an evil cleric standing near the crater.

How to find the armor of the Albs?

Unfortunately, Jax does not have the opportunity to find and equip Albian armor. Perhaps this will become available after the release of the following additions.

How to find Ray?

If you want Ray to become your companion, then first go to the Three Pines Motel, where the teleport of the same name is located. Offer to help Ray find assassination contracts. This will start the quest "For a Fistful of Shards". Go to the right markers and pick up the contracts. After some quests, he will agree to join Jax's team.

How to enchant a weapon?

To begin with, you must join the berserkers, and then purchase the "Enchant" ability from one of the trainers. It should be understood that the ability associated with the ability to install gems is a completely different mechanic. This requires skill and a workbench.

Only melee weapons can be enchanted. This mechanic is akin to modifying firearms, high-tech cleric weapons. Enchanting requires the weapon to be upgraded at least once (attachedrate I, II or III). Enchanting melee berserk weapons will allow you to convert physical damage into poison, fire, or whatever. When you hit with an enchanted weapon, you additionally impose a debuff on the enemy.

If you level up the weapon at the workbench, the enchantment will disappear. You will have to reapply it. Unique weapons cannot be upgraded or enchanted!!! You also cannot enchant any ranged weapons.

How to open locks?

On the territory of the Elex game world, you can find a huge number of closed chests, inside of which, apparently, there are very valuable things. That is why the sooner you learn how to hack, the sooner you will get rich. When picking locks in Elex, an unusual mini-game begins, in which you have to choose how to properly interact with various elements. Next, we will tell you how to properly hack chests and why you need it.

In order to make chest hacking available, you need to follow some simple steps:

• Raget master keys - to the maximum.
• Unlock the eponymous skill "Hacking".
• Find the traveler's amulet. Doing this, of course, is completely optional, but when using it, you get one additional hacking point.

Before you can pick the lock, you need to open the skill of the same name, which is under the crafting ability. On the other hand, you can cheat and not spend points on this skill - find the traveler's amulet, which will give one point to hack and thus unlock the skill. It is located in a cave not far from the beginning of the game - go north of the starting area.

In addition, for hacking you will definitely need a master key. You can find master keys on the territory of the game world, when searching dead enemies, etc. Unfortunately, no one can guarantee that you will receive a sufficient number of master keys within an hour of exploring locations. For this reason, it is best to buy them from the merchants of Goliet, Oran, and Olrik.

After you have the right skill and master keys, you can start hacking. Each chest has a certain level of protection - it indicates how difficult the hacking procedure will be. In addition, the lockpicking skill must always be higher than the chest’s defense level - otherwise you won’t even be able to interact with it.interact.

How to hack correctly?

So, at the beginning of the hack, a kind of mini-game will begin, the purpose of which is to move the bolts inside the chest in the correct order. After that, the chest will open. Pay attention to what color these pins are (you will see this when they are raised). You need to make sure that these pins are blue.

To get started, find two identical pins that remain blue after picking up. Move the cursor to the right side to slide the lockpick in, and then find the pins you need.

After picking up the two blue pins, move the lockpick under the first one, which is located to the left of this pair. If it is blue, then you have chosen the right path. If two blue pins fall and turn red, then the sequence is wrong. In this case, you need to raise the blue pair again, and then select the pin not to the left, but to the right of it.

Thus, gradually, lifting one pin after another, you will find the correct combination. But the higher the protection of the lock, the more difficult it will be to break. Several blue pairs can appear in them at once. In this case, you need to use the above method, applying it first for the first pair, and after that for the second.

If you?? if you're lucky, a bug may be activated that will simply remove the hacking procedure and allow you to open a locked chest. On the PC version, to quickly access the contents of the chest, start hacking, and then press ESC. If the hero says that he managed to get inside, then the bug worked.

How to join the Outcasts?

Head to the Fort, located slightly to the right and above the center of the map. This place is the capital of outcasts. After going inside in any way, move along the right border and find William's small tent. Be careful - quests for joining a faction, as well as directly accepting a rogue, are issued by William, and not by the Duke in the far tower.

The quest associated with joining the Outcasts is called "Desert Vultures". Talk to William, then take the Fragile Power quest from him. As part of this quest, you will need to complete several others:

• "On behalf of the family" take from Big Jim in the far right of the Fort.
• Commonwealth of the Poor is activated by Chloe in the bar.
• "Waiting for the Rat" (Fresh Blood) - is activated if you took the side of the Rat in a conflict with Blake.
• "Help the Garbage Baron" will be another quest from Big Jim.

How to enter Hort?
