Divinity: Original Sin: (Switch) Walkthrough, Secrets & Cheat Codes

1Game Basics

2Core Gameplay

The heart of Divinity: Original Sin: is progression. Towns, dungeons and boss fights are paced so that every upgrade feels earned. On the Switch the pacing is excellent: explore freely, but the game gently points you toward the next story beat when you need direction. The heart of Divinity: Original Sin: is progression.

The Switch release keeps the stat systems that veterans love while smoothing the early hours so new players are never lost.

The single most important habit in Divinity: Original Sin: is consistency — the systems reward players who learn the core loop before chasing shortcuts, and almost every wall you hit is a sign to practice one mechanic, not to abandon the run.

Priority checklist (do these first):

• Talk to every NPC in the starting town — early hints save hours later.
• Save before every boss and before spending rare upgrade materials.
• Buy and equip the best gear you can afford before leaving the first region.
• Manage your inventory — sell junk, keep consumables for boss fights.
• Plan a party role split: one tank, one healer, two damage dealers.

Common beginner mistake: Most players stall in Divinity: Original Sin: by skipping side quests and then hitting a wall under-leveled; over-level by one or two before each boss.

3Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Follow this order and you will clear Divinity: Original Sin: on Switch without grinding for hours. Each step builds on the last, so do not skip ahead — the early habits make the late game trivial.

1. Talk to every NPC in the starting town — early hints save hours later.
2. Save before every boss and before spending rare upgrade materials.
3. Buy and equip the best gear you can afford before leaving the first region.
4. Manage your inventory — sell junk, keep consumables for boss fights.
5. Plan a party role split: one tank, one healer, two damage dealers.
6. Learn the buff/debuff order so your strongest hit lands during a window.
7. Backtrack to earlier areas after upgrades to grab missed chests.
8. Use elemental or type advantages; raw stats lose to smart matchups.
9. Complete side quests for xp and gear that outpace the main line.
10. Grind one level outside town if a boss wall stops you; small gains matter.

Once the campaign is done, replay on a harder setting or chase 100% completion; the systems you learned on the first run make the second feel completely different, and most Divinity: Original Sin: players agree the post-game is where the real depth lives.

Switch cheats run through a modded environment; we only document legit unlocks. Many titles hide a developer message behind a long-press on the title logo.

6Player Reviews & Tips

Long-time players recommend taking your time with side quests — the Switch build rewards exploration more than a straight dash to the ending.

Players note the pacing is best if you over-level by one or two before each boss instead of fighting under-leveled.
