Ok, says it right in the title, but right after the tutorial dungeon (which snak and lockpick skills unlock) your orc girl companion get her foot caught in a trap and the deathstrike skill is supposed to unlock. Mine did not. Which is very bad for me because thats the exact type of character I'm trying to play.

I have googled a lot on this issue before posting here and found that "deathstrike" is not a skillbook found in the game.

I have found console cheat commands (I hate cheating unless its something I'm already SUPPOSED to have) and the only related cheat to this added an amulet with +1 deathstrike skill - which unfortunately did not unlock the skill (it is still grayed out but does say 0(+1) to the skill, but really its still 0.

I have been unable to find ID codes for creating skillbooks. BUT, seeing as apparently there does not exist this one in the game, not sure if its possible to even have an ID code.


So the help I need is:
The ID code to create the "deathstrike" skillbook, OR
An in-game way to fix this issue without console.

I really, really, do not want to go all the way back to that point in the game if it was a glitch.

I AM USING the "WORLDSMERGE" mod also. I imagine many people here have used it as well considering how awesome it is. So if you have, please let me know if you had this issue as well, was able to correct, or if the mod itself changed it from being given to you and added the skillbook itself instead (and if so, where?)


This really sucks as I'm planning on an assassin/ranger this playthrough (my first) and deathstrike is a HUGE part of this build.

Please help GOG, you are my only hope ;)


Third paragraph should read 'gem', not 'amulet'.

Go to the forest near the horse farm, just outside Qudinar, and find the assassin Wavenor. He teaches Death Strike.

I thought that was for TW1. Am I wrong and this is for TW2?

I ask because I saw that on the wiki for it, but checked the map pdf for TW2 and there is no such town on it (that I could see).

I have not played (well, barely played) TW1 and I'm still on the first island in TW2. First time playing it.

I figured something out.

I uninstalled the worldsmerge mod and started a vanilla game. I followed the path right after she gives me the dagger, and when you get close to the first enemy is when the tutorial kicks back in and unlocks the deathstrike skill.

The worldsmerge mod rewards exploration as there are new elixers in remote places you find which increase your skills and attributes permanently, so after the dagger part I strayed from the path and just started exploring, coming back to that point from a different direction after already killing some enemies, and that initial guy sees me so no tutorial pops up, hence the no deathstrike unlock.

The mod does regen enemies, so maybe I will see if it will still work if I wait long enough and approach from correct direction this time.

Thanks, although I found that to get DeathStrike, it MUST be the first Grom down the path from getting the dagger. Not just any Grom, because i tried it in that first playthrough which sparked this question, and all my character did was slash him then I got destroyed lol. First time, so I didn't know anything about the icon showing up to perform it. (What I mean is I strayed from the path down to the beach, around and back up somewhere else with a random Grom with his back to me).

I wish there was a better resource page for this, similar to the elder scrolls wiki. The TW2 wiki I find severly lacking in information.

After realizing all this, I was going to just play vanilla, but ended up restarting with the 'worldsmerge' mod again and getting deathstrike correctly this time. There are just too many added things included in it for a thief/ranger character that are awesome that are not in vanilla. I chose the "CORE VANILLA" option in the mod to get rid of the enhanced enemy AI and the 'They Fight Back' mod - they make it nearly impossible to play the sneaky assassin I want to play. Even so, I'm still getting my ass handed to me, I cannot clear the Groms on the west side of the island, they destroy me.

Anyways, Thanks!
