Tips[]

  • One of the most useful skills in the entire game, as it allows one to avoid unpleasant situations which would result in unnecessary bloodshed and/or loss of money. Effectively the skill should be fully unlocked as early as possible, preferably before leaving White Orchard.
  • While most conversations that have Axii as an option mostly require level 1 or 2, it's still best to have level 3 as using the sign gives additional XP earned based on the Story and Swords! difficulty level and the higher the skill level the more XP earned based on the Story and Swords! difficulty level is earned. For example, if it's at level 2 but the dialogue option only requires level 1, you'll still get 35 XP earned based on the Story and Swords! difficulty level (the amount level 2 gives). The default breakdown is as follows:
    • without Delusion using Axii will give 25 XP earned based on the Story and Swords! difficulty level
    • Level 1: 30 XP earned based on the Story and Swords! difficulty level
    • Level 2: 35 XP earned based on the Story and Swords! difficulty level
    • Level 3: 40 XP earned based on the Story and Swords! difficulty level
  • The skill is obviously less useful during battles, unless the Axii sign is the preferred option. However, one may always swap it for another skill then just re-equip it after they are done. Also while exploring the world the skill can be swapped for skills like Strong Back.
    • Such tactics are particularly useful during early stages in the game where the number of skill slots is limited.
