Does anyone know how the ability in the wraith section called "Brand" works? I unlocked it via the trainer in the starter zone, however when i try to brand someone from stealth, it doesn't work... Maybe its a bug? or maybe im not using it right? or there certain conditions that must be met before using this? Thanks

the way i figured it, you need to use stealth and stay outside the view of the orc then with shift pressed and E you char uses the brand thingy.
btw with orc captains or warchiefs it wont work you need to bring them down in health first till they show green, then use the brand

only works in the second map, its scripted that way

Tells you in the manual, you can get it off of steam on the games page on the right.

You do it during a drain move.

perhaps its bugging up, because via normal means, brand isn't unlocked untill the second area

yup only working in the second map

and when unlocked it also works in first map

with other words unlocking this in the trainer wont work, till the scripted event in the game is called to use it. or the trainer should bypass those also

Ok so basically if you unlock it earlier, you can only use on second map, but once you unlock it the "scripted" way, it will unlock variables to enable its use even on the first Map? Am I correct?

yup , i didnt test that in the first map but i bet it will work there also then

in the second map its "unlocked" when the event that you need to use it occurs, i call it scripted, and it stays unlocked then also in the first map, but not sure if that's of use of course

so in general with the "quick" trainer way of unlocking all skills etc, they wont work till the scripted event in game of those skills is happening, that is when they are scripted of course, else it works right at game start with the trainer unlocks.

hmm now that i think of it i remember in the second map the game told me it unlocked a "tier", so it can be that when a tier is not yet unlocked those skills wont work as they should even when the "trainer" unlocked those ,before that tier unlock happens

If anyone figures out a way around this, please share brand is too cool of an ability. Probably is the best defining move.
