[2]
welcome to path of exile 2's second act
[5]
as you saw in the trailer act 2 is
[7]
centered around a caravan of marraketh
[9]
called the ardura who live in the
[10]
vasteri desert you're chasing another
[13]
caravan from an opposing tribe called
[15]
the faradan
[16]
there's a set of large ancient gates
[17]
blocking the progress of the caravan
[19]
through a desert pass
[20]
so you're being sent through the
[21]
traitor's passage to unlock them we
[23]
shall wait here jingak but the military
[26]
carts have departed for the gates
[28]
make haste
[32]
path of xl2 is a lot more than just new
[34]
acts we want combat to feel both brutal
[37]
and responsive
[38]
even at low levels we're ensuring that
[40]
each weapon type has unique and
[42]
different mechanics
[43]
each weapon class feels different to
[45]
play and today we're going to start by
[46]
demonstrating the new spare weapon class
[49]
spheres are a weapon class favoring
[50]
mobility with both melee and ranged
[52]
attack options
[53]
to that end each spare will grant you at
[55]
least one mobility skill
[57]
in this case the spear comes with both
[59]
an engage and disengage skill
[61]
when you engage it increases your melee
[63]
damage for a short time and that really
[65]
encourages you to be mobile during
[70]
combat
[73]
one of the skills we're using here is
[74]
called whirling slash
[76]
when you use whirling slash it creates a
[78]
sandstorm that grows in size each time
[80]
you use the skill
[81]
when you leave the sandstorm it explodes
[82]
dealing damage to nearby monsters
[84]
a great way to do that is to use the
[86]
disengage skill which makes you fly
[88]
backwards and throw projectiles
[102]
in poe 2 each area's mini boss is a much
[104]
more substantial fight with interesting
[106]
mechanics
[107]
you'll be able to find at least one mini
[108]
boss in each area of the game
[110]
one thing i love about this boss in
[111]
particular is that it destroys the
[113]
ceiling when it slams the ground letting
[115]
in more light
[116]
clever players will notice that if
[117]
they're standing in the light then
[118]
they're not going to have any rocks
[120]
falling on their head
[125]
the rapid assault skill that we're using
[127]
against this boss does three rapid stabs
[129]
followed by a fourth step that deals
[131]
more damage and can stun if you're
[132]
willing to commit to a long attack time
[134]
while developing the skills for path of
[136]
xl2 we were really thinking a lot about
[138]
designing skills that could be cancelled
[140]
early to dodge
[141]
or you can commit to the full attack for
[143]
maximum damage
[159]
[Music]
[167]
of combat
[171]
one of the skills we're using here is
[172]
called spearfield which creates an area
[174]
of spears coming out of the ground that
[176]
impale monsters who walk into them
[178]
causing them to bleed
[179]
as the monsters move towards you they
[181]
take damage so using your mobility
[183]
skills as a way to move away from them
[184]
is a great strategy here
[188]
in path of xl2 we've invested a lot in
[190]
our animation system
[192]
i'm sure you're noticing the animations
[193]
are looking a lot better than they did
[194]
in poe 1 but there's also a lot of
[196]
subtle detail like characters having
[198]
different run animations depending on
[199]
how fast they're moving
[200]
when we use a quicksilver flask here you
[202]
can see the character changes to a
[204]
sprinting animation
[213]
[Music]
[238]
hey
[242]
now that we've arrived at the ancient
[244]
gates we're going to show you another of
[245]
the new weapon classes and path of xl2
[247]
crossbows crossbows are special and they
[250]
grant attack skills implicitly
[251]
this particular crossbow grants
[253]
powershot which is a high damage single
[255]
target attack
[256]
in order to modify what powershot does
[257]
you're going to need to equip bolt skill
[259]
gems which change the type of bolts that
[261]
are loaded into the crossbow
[262]
here we've got three different bolt
[264]
skills that the character can switch
[265]
between depending on the situation
[270]
incendiary bolts
[273]
permafrost bolts can be used to disrupt
[275]
packs of enemies to prevent them from
[276]
closing in on your position
[278]
you can then follow up with
[279]
armor-piercing bolts to do plenty of
[280]
damage
[288]
in this area we're helping asala leader
[290]
of the ardura to open the ancient gates
[292]
and let the caravan through
[298]
[Music]
[305]
because the bolt types are the skill
[306]
gems support gems that are added to them
[308]
will modify whatever the skill is that
[310]
you're using
[310]
here we're going to add multiple
[311]
projectiles to our incendiary bolts
[329]
[Music]
[331]
i'm a piercing
[346]
i'm a piercing
[353]
in path of xl2 we're doing a lot more
[355]
interesting things with monster packs
[356]
here you can see some of the monsters
[358]
patrolling around
[369]
[Music]
[377]
[Music]
[397]
[Music]
[406]

[410]
[Music]
[416]
i'm a piercing
[426]
now we're coming to another example of a
[428]
path of exile to miniboss limb the
[434]
impaler
[436]
i'm a piercing
[454]
another type of crossbow a siege
[456]
crossbow this crossbow grants the siege
[458]
cascade skill
[460]
the skill is also modified depending on
[461]
what type of bolts you're using
[465]
[Music]
[466]
[Applause]
[468]
[Music]
[475]
[Music]
[479]
incendiary boats
[488]
always give these demons
[515]
we tried to add a lot more little
[516]
details to combat in part of xl2
[518]
you might notice that the monsters who
[520]
die while burning have charred corpses
[522]
we really want to make sure that there's
[523]
a feeling that as you leave the
[524]
battlefield there's clear evidence of
[526]
what combat took place then
[540]
[Music]
[546]
incendiary
[559]
incendiary bolts
[562]
armor-piercing bolts
[567]
incendiary bolts
[578]
incendiary bolts
[601]
[Music]
[602]
incendiary
[616]
armor piercing
[620]
this is the perennial king the leader of
[622]
the pharaoh his goal here is to prevent
[624]
you from catching the caravan at any
[630]
cost
[632]
[Music]
[647]
[Applause]
[648]
[Music]
[670]
[Music]
[672]
wow
[676]
[Music]
[684]
he must not escape
[694]
quickly it contours the very sands
[697]
against us
[705]
this madness has gone on long enough
[709]
the king is not the man i once knew and
[712]
said swallow me if i do any more to
[715]
enable him
[716]
you plan to continue your pursuit yes
[718]
you will not catch him
[719]
not without me we cannot follow through
[723]
the raging sands
[725]
let us return to the caravan and
[727]
question this defector
[732]
this is the ardura caravan your town in
[734]
acts 2.
[740]
i am a salah the second of the adora
[744]
i care not where you came from know what
[746]
cast you might have been there
[748]
all that matters is that you have shown
[751]
yourself capable in battle
[752]
jinga remain a friend to the adora
[756]
and you shall have nothing but respect
[758]
from us
[761]
from what your shade has told us the
[764]
situation is dire
[765]
this balbalic will live or die based on
[768]
her usefulness
[770]
in pursuit of the seed of corruption ask
[773]
her what questions you will
[774]
then we adora will decide her fate
[784]
you need not trust me you'll see the
[787]
truth of my information soon enough
[789]
i ask nothing of you only that you do
[792]
what you know
[793]
is right one of the things we really
[795]
wanted to do in acts 2 was to use the
[796]
mobility of the caravan to allow the
[798]
player to choose how they explore the
[800]
act
[800]
here given four options on how to
[802]
proceed
[805]
there is a tribe of lost man that
[807]
inhabits the mastodon bedlands
[809]
they worship the bones of those long ago
[811]
beasts
[812]
and that faith has given rise to
[815]
powerful tasks
[816]
that can somehow call on storms and
[819]
strike
[819]
enemies with lightning the king wishes
[823]
to steal these
[824]
objects of worship and use their
[827]
lightning
[828]
in war do what you must
[833]
though events demand you tread upon the
[835]
valley of the dead
[836]
do not do so flagrantly keep your
[839]
presence
[839]
light cleanse what corruption you can
[842]
and we shall skirmish with the faradam
[844]
to protect
[845]
your flank once you've picked your
[847]
destination the caravan will travel to
[848]
that area and come to a stop so that you
[850]
can disembark and go on your quest
[860]
because we just got the storm swear
[861]
skill as a quest reward now would be a
[863]
great time to switch back to spears and
[865]
use some ranged abilities
[870]
stormspear fires a lightning projectile
[872]
which splits on contact
[881]
the other skill we're using here is
[882]
called blazing lance blazing lance
[885]
creates a trail of fire from the ground
[887]
dealing damage over time
[888]
however if you're willing to stand in
[889]
place for long enough you can throw a
[891]
second spear that will fan the flames
[892]
for much more damage
[902]
[Music]
[918]
we've just found a unique spear it's
[920]
called devata's wind
[922]
this spear has an extra modifier that
[923]
synergizes really well with stormspear
[926]
when you disengage you get two
[927]
additional projectiles on your
[928]
projectile skills
[952]
now
[957]
[Music]
[966]
wow
[976]

[980]
