Leveling in Titan Quest 2 is pretty straightforward: follow the story, fight enemies, and explore each chapter. But if you are looking to level a bit faster or want a clearer idea of how it works, here is what you need to know!
We also prepared some early game build guides for you, so scroll down and find out what’s the best masteries for leveling!
How Leveling Works
All you need to do, in theory, is to follow the main story. It is divided into chapters, and you will gain levels naturally just by progressing through them. Quests, exploration events, and killing enemies all reward XP, so if you are just playing through the game normally, you will stay on track without needing to grind that much. At least during the early game.
But if you do want to speed things up or catch up a new character, there are a few ways to farm XP more efficiently:
- Farm high-density zones like open fields, caves, or monster-infested ruins.
- Clear and reset areas using Ritual Shrines in town. This respawns all enemies.
- Focus on side-zones (such as caves) and mini-bosses. These often give more XP than regular mobs and usually drop better loot too.
You can also repeat earlier chapters on higher difficulty to gain XP while testing new builds or collecting better gear.
Quick Leveling Tips
Here are a few additional tips on how you can level faster:
- Kill everything in your path. Trash mobs give decent XP and can drop rares early on.
- Do side quests and explore. They often lead to mini-bosses, secret loot, or XP rewards.
- Always upgrade your weapon if you find a better one. It affects the damage of most active skills.
- Use Ritual Shrines if you feel under-leveled or want to grind a bit.
- Keep resist gear in your stash. Some areas hit hard with specific elements, and swapping in the right gear can save you from dying and wasting time.
- Save good loot (within your stash, in town) – for testing other builds.
