Improved GUI

The Graphical User Interface is newly redesigned for Sacred 2. View the image to see numbers corresponding to the descriptions below.


guireal600.jpg


1) Health Bar - Shows how much life you have. There is also a Shield Bar that appears alongside this when the Temple Guardian or Seraphim is using an Energy Shield Combat Art/buff.

2) Experience Bar - Displays your current experience and experience needed for the next level.

3) Level Indicator - Shows your current character level. Also flashes with a "+" when you have leveled up and have new points to allocate. Clicking it will take you to the Character Screen. An attractive new graphical animation has been added from the original Sacred.

4) Minimap - Shows your current location, and nearby landmarks, NPCs, and foes. The player is represented as a green arrow, while the blue shrine is the currently-activated resurrection monolith. (Enemies are displayed as red triangles; not shown.)

5) Quest Arrows - Main quest (orange) and side quest (silver). These point the way to your currently active quests.

6) Merchant - Icon (a money bag). Sell and buy goods.

7) Runemaster - Icon (a "runemaster"). Trade runes for other runes.

8) Horse Trader - Icon (a horse shoe). Purchase a trusty steed here.

9) Options for the Minimap (top/left one) and Tab-map (bottom/right one). The Tab-map expands from the Minimap when the Tab key is pressed. Options include size, scale, curvature, translucency, and rotation. The gold triangle button in the corner will show or hide the Minimap.

10) Relic Holder - Contains up to four groups of three relics, which you can swap between.

11) Divine Gift - Also called God Spell (not the musical). Dependent on your chosen Deity.

12) Weapon Slots - This character was level 6, so only two are shown here. More are obtained as you increase in level, up to a maximum of four slots. Each can hold a weapon (or a weapon and shield, or two weapons if you chose Dual Wield as a skill).

13) Potion Slots - Clicking will activate the currently equipped potion. You can drag any potion you choose into these slots if you don't like the default locations. The Space bar still "drinks" a health potion. Potions will still stack in your inventory, up to 20 per stack.

14) Options Menu - Brings up various adjustable in-game options. You can also just press the "Escape" key. (Note that you get fewer choices if you're in a game than you do if you're at the loading screen.)

15) Side Quest Arrow - Points the direction to travel to your currently active side quest.

16) Main Quest Arrow - Points the direction to travel to the main quest.

17) Compass - Shows the direction you're facing.

18) Pick up everything in range - Or press the "Q" key. Works in Single Player and Multiplayer, and has filters which you can set in Options.

19) Combat Art Slots - A maximum of four slots are available to place Combat Arts or Combos.

20) Buff Slots - A maximum of three simultaneous buffs is allowed. You start off with one. Choosing the Concentration skill will allow you a second, and then getting mastery (75 points in Concentration) will give you the third.

21) Main Map - Significant improvement; displays all quests, merchants, etc., with options to display more or less info. It starts off grayscale and gets colored in as you explore.

22) Character Screen - Allows you to assign attributes and skill points. Press the "C" key.

23) Inventory Screen - Displays a wide variety of inventory, gear, statistics, and various other information. Press the "F" key.

24) Combat Art/Combo screen - Allows you to see which Combat Arts you have chosen, and modify them or create Combos. Press the "E" key.

25) Mount "button" - Click to call your mount and mount/dismount. When you have your mount, you may choose from either a small horse icon (if you have a horse), or a special icon (if you have your character-specific mount).

26) Quest Log - Shows a list of your quests, as well as displaying other information such as books you have read. Press the "L" key.

  • Note- The Minimap will also display a Blacksmith (not shown) - Icon (an anvil). Forge items into slots to enhance your gear.
  • Note- If you are near your player chest (also not shown), the Minimap will display a Stash - Icon (a chest). Store your extra items and access the shared stash here.

Console Games

The GUI for console games is quite different than the interface shown here.
