Divinity Original Sin 2 How To Remove Collar
Ever found yourself in a sticky situation in Divinity: Original Sin 2, staring at a rather fetching, yet undeniably restrictive, collar around your character's neck? It's like a really fancy, slightly aggressive choker that screams "You don't belong to yourself anymore!"
These aren't your average accessories, folks. These are Sourcerer collars, a rather grim reminder of how the world at large views those who wield a bit of arcane oomph. Think of it as a magical leash, but with way more dramatic flair and potential for betrayal.
But here’s the thing about our intrepid heroes and heroines: we don't do "restricted" very well. We're all about breaking chains, both literal and metaphorical. And that’s where the quest to ditch these itchy neck ornaments truly begins.
The most iconic early collar removal involves our good friend, the rather imposing Magister. This chap, often found in the early stages of the game, has a particularly nasty set of these things. And wouldn’t you know it, he’s also carrying the key to unlocking one.
It’s a bit like a twisted game of "Simon Says," but instead of fun dance moves, it’s about who gets to keep their head attached to their neck. And believe me, you want to be the one keeping your head.
One of the most straightforward, albeit morally… flexible… ways to get that collar off is to relieve the aforementioned Magister of his worldly possessions. Yes, we’re talking about a bit of good old-fashioned thievery, or perhaps a more direct confrontation.
Imagine the scene: you're surrounded by heavily armored guards, all looking rather pleased with themselves and their shiny collars. Then, with a flick of your wrist, a well-placed arrow, or perhaps a rather persuasive conversation, the tables turn.
It’s a moment of pure triumph when you finally pry that thing off. It’s not just about regaining your freedom; it’s about proving that even when you’re labeled and shackled, your spirit, and your ability to cause trouble, remains undimmed.
And then there's the sheer delight of seeing the look on the faces of those who put those collars on you when they realize you're not playing by their rules anymore. It’s a silent "I told you so" delivered with a smirk and perhaps a strategically placed explosion.
But what if you’re not exactly the “steal from the bad guy” type? What if you’re more of a “find a loophole and exploit it” kind of adventurer? Well, Divinity: Original Sin 2 has you covered.
There are stories, whispered in hushed tones around campfires, of clever solutions that don't involve quite so much… persuasion. These are the tales that make you grin from ear to ear, marveling at the sheer ingenuity of your fellow players.
Think about that moment of realization. You’re trying to figure out how to get this infernal thing off, and then it hits you: a specific item, a hidden lever, or perhaps a friendly nudge from an unlikely ally. It’s like finding a secret passage in a maze, but the maze is your own desperate predicament.
One such instance might involve seeking out a character who has their own reasons for wanting these collars gone. Perhaps they’re a former victim, or someone who sees the injustice for what it is. These characters often hold the key, not through force, but through understanding.
And let’s not forget the sheer comedy that can ensue. Trying to strategize about collar removal while simultaneously fending off a horde of angry lizards or dodging enchanted fireballs? It’s a recipe for hilarious chaos.
You might find yourself in a situation where a perfectly good collar needs to be removed, and the only available "tool" is a half-eaten apple and a prayer. The game rewards creativity, and sometimes, that creativity looks a lot like desperation.
The joy isn't just in the act of removal, but in the journey to get there. It’s about the conversations you have, the alliances you forge, and the sheer audacity of your actions. Each collar removal is a mini-story in itself.
And for those who are playing with friends? Oh, the hilarity intensifies tenfold. Imagine coordinating a complex plan, each of you taking on a specific role – the distraction, the lockpicker, the getaway driver (of sorts).
One friend might be bravely engaging the guards in a lengthy, nonsensical conversation, while another is frantically trying to pick a lock with a rusty spoon. The ensuing pandemonium is a core memory in the making.
And when that collar finally pops off, there’s a collective cheer. It’s a shared victory, a testament to your teamwork and your refusal to be oppressed by stylishly dangerous neckwear.
Beyond the initial few collars, the game introduces different factions and scenarios where these magical restraints come into play. Each one presents a new puzzle, a fresh challenge, and a different flavor of defiance.
There’s a heartwarming aspect to it, too. For many, the collar is a symbol of their oppressive past, their forced servitude. Removing it isn't just an act of rebellion; it's an act of reclaiming one's identity.
Think of the characters like Sebille, whose very existence is tied to her past subjugation. The removal of her collar is more than just a gameplay mechanic; it’s a pivotal moment in her personal narrative.
And it’s not always about brute force. Sometimes, the most satisfying collar removal comes from understanding the motivations of those who placed them there. Empathy, or at least a shrewd understanding of human (and non-human) nature, can be just as potent as a fireball.
You might discover that a particular vendor, or even a seemingly benevolent NPC, has a hidden stash of collar-unlocking mechanisms. They might trade it for a rare herb, a favor, or even a particularly witty joke.
The sheer variety of ways to achieve this seemingly simple goal is a testament to the game’s design. It’s a sandbox of possibilities, where your imagination is the only real limit.
So, next time you see that glint of metal around your character’s neck, don’t despair. See it as an invitation to adventure, a call to arms, and a chance to write your own hilarious, heartwarming, and utterly epic story of freedom.
Because in Divinity: Original Sin 2, even the most restrictive chains can be broken, especially with a bit of cunning, a lot of courage, and maybe just a touch of divine intervention. And who knows, you might even have a good laugh along the way.
