Talents

Talents are unique to each character and can be neutral, positive, or negative. Each character starts with three talents, and more can be earned during gameplay. You can add or remove talents in exchange for god favors, and you can also find druids to heal some negative talents (such as in Breza or during the End of Month Festival).

This guide will list the talents and describe the events that will trigger positive talents.

Generally, it is recommended to simply play the game and let talents be acquired as you progress. However, if you are looking to acquire a specific talent, you can find information about it here.

There are also Unique talents (marked in purple). There is only one character in the game with each unique talent, and it can only be acquired through character selection after death.
