Races | Basics Legend of Grimrock II Guide

Character race is certainly a more serious topic. The developers have prepared five nations that differ from one another not only with the appearance of the avatars (you can choose between several of them in each race), but the bonuses that they obtain at the start and their predispositions for developing in different professions.

Human, according to what developers say, is a totally universal race, which means that this race will fulfill every role that you give and will develop well in any direction. Human's race bonus is 10% faster experience gain.

Insectoid, as the name suggest, is a creature resembling an insect. Insectoids are naturally good with spells, so a player who chooses this class should be aware of that, as he will receive 2 extra points in the Willpower attribute. Moreover, he will obtain 1 extra point in Strength, but will receive -2 Dexterity and -1 Vitality. What's very important, Insectoids also have a very strong passive ability - 50% less chance of being hit.

Lizardman is a race that, because of the 2 extra points in Dexterity (unfortunately also -2 in Willpower) is a perfect candidate for a light warrior - a kind of a partisan, which can specialize in ranged or thrown weapons. Moreover, Lizardman has 25% more resistance to all factors.

Minotaur is a good choice for a heavy warrior - powerful, big and really muscular. This race has 5 extra points in Strength and 4 extra points in Vitality (also -4 Dexterity and -3 Willpower). Moreover, it has 25% higher Food Consumption Rate than other races.

Ratling is the last one from the available races. Their biggest advantage is the resistance to every disease. They also have attribute bonuses and penalties, namely 2 extra points in Dexterity and -4 in Strength. What makes Ratling different from other races is that it obtains extra points in minor statics, which value is influenced by the attributes, but also the character's skills and equipment. Ratling ahs 2 extra points in Evasion (a chance of avoiding physical damage) and +15kg in Max Load.
