Here\’s a guide and walkthrough for Divinity Original Sin 2.
One of the quickest ways to develop your team in Divinity Original Sin 2 is through thievery. With just 250 gold, you can buy one skill book from a merchant and steal the other, effectively learning two skills for the price of one. However, stealing requires moderation and skill as NPCs react quickly to stolen possessions. In this guide, we\’ll show you a mean way to cheat merchants without facing consequences, but remember to use this exploit wisely.
REMEMBER!
Stealing in the beginning of the game can be highly profitable, but it should be used to develop your team and not just for getting money. One point in Thievery is enough to steal one skill book.
Stealing with No Consequences in 6 Steps
Our mean and cruel way is dangerous and requires quick reflexes.
- SAVE THE GAME – never steal without saving, unless you want to fight the entire city.
- Activate Sneaking Mode (\”C\” key) – position your thief behind the person you want to rob and enter Sneaking Mode. Make sure no one is watching.
- Steal from the NPC – select the item you want to steal. In the beginning, focus on books and small items due to weight restrictions in Divinity Original Sin 2.
- Throw the Stolen Item on the Ground – immediately find the stolen item in your thief\’s inventory and THROW it on the ground, even if the victim is watching.
- WAIT for the NPC to Discover the Robbery – the robbed merchant will accuse you of theft. Allow them to check your inventory, and they won\’t find the item in most cases.
- Pick Up the Item from the Ground – congratulations, you successfully robbed a merchant with no consequences. Shame on you!
Additional Notes:
- You have only a few seconds. If the merchant talks to you while you still have the stolen item in your inventory, you\’ll need to convince or bribe them.
- There may be instances where the merchant doesn\’t find the stolen item in your inventory but still accuses you of theft. In these cases, try using persuasion or bribery.
To learn more about thievery and its rules, refer to the general chapter on the topic. Remember not to steal big items since one point in Thievery only allows you to steal up to 2kg!
