One thing important to note about self elemental shields: The amount of element you put in determines how effective the elemental shield is.
1 Element: very minor reduction in damage
2 Elements: Resist more damage, immunity to debuffs like Wet and On Fire
3 Elements: Immunity to damage and debuffs
4 Elements: Absorption of the element and immunity to debuffs.
+Artix3000 Correct, I will one day get a vid up on how to use them properly, so frustrating seeing people not use them well. Maybe after I've finished the walkthrough... speaking of which, Should upload those haha.
Good info though! :)

Playing this in 2021 as my son saw this and asked for it. Now we are playing and he kept on killing me. 😁
Perfect! This is in fact the way magika should be played ;) enjoy!
They nerfed "Energy Crystals of Doom" (QRQRASE), one of my favorite spells :(
But hey, they've restored steam and ice elements. This is a huge, *HUGE* friggin improvement over the total garbage that was the release version of the game.
Now steam is back, ice is back, and then they've added poison element as a bonus! This is an absolute win. Game is still far from perfection, but at the very least is playable, and dare I say I'd pick Magicka 2's spellcasting over the first one, just because of addition of poison and improved ice element mechanics.
Yeah I'm not to sad about the nerf though. M1 was way to easy, you just crystal of doom everything and it was game over. At least in M2 you have to think about what you're going to do which is nice. There's no one spell that wins. Although my little arcane rock fire bombs work on ALMOST everything... But it's more dangerous than the M1 nuke.
@@MottySha Can't help but agree with ya. As much as it was fun destroying everything with crystals of doom, or chucking swarms of enemies into the air with ARSE mines, I do understand that nerf for these was needed. Especially after putting these spells on a macro xD
By the way, seriously, it seems after Magicka 1 the devs were always trying some weird sheit with the magic system...
Magicka: Wizard Wars only has 3 elements in spellbar, no ice/steam, only 2 cast methods
Wizards of the Square Tablet - *NO ARCANE?* WTF! Also, like above, no steam/ice and only 4 elements max.
Magicka 2 - Back to 5 elements and still no ice/steam, but thankfully, devs eventually realized it's a stupid idea and brought them back, along with poison.
Personally, I can't help but feel that out of all these options, M2 in its current form has the best system. It does nerf all the stupidly overpowered spells from M1 and keeps it fun, without taking away any complexity.
It seems most faithful to the original game, while slapping some improvements on top, like improved immunity ward mechanics or weapon enchants (with the idea of some elements making the enchant one-shot, and others permanently boosting the weapon until it wears off).
But it doesn't help that the game's combat system overall is a disaster. Seriously, it's garbage - it's way too fast. Whereas M1's combat reminded me of a puzzle game in a sense, M2 is so fast that there's no point in being creative - just backpedal as fast as you can and mow them down with arcane beams, because you have no other option.
A bloody goblin on a first level runs at me with speed of a berserker orc from the first game and shanks me even faster.
A friggin ORC can kill me IN ONE HIT.
A beastman kills me in one hit THROUGH ROCK ARMOR.
dude you deserve a lot more subs than you have you put a lot of work in your vids keep it up
Cheers :)
I don't upload enough for more subs I suppose. Just make vids when I feel like it. It's fun :)
I agree
@@smallgameadventures8427 crazy how I got back into this game years later and came to this vid for help
@@xxR4in I'm glad it's still useful!
Honestly I only play it every now and then these days. Life got busy. But I still refer back to this sometimes myself haha.
Even at timestamp 13:16, this video taught me more than i could ever hope to learn alone
Haha there's a lot in the game. Most people work out one or two spells that kinda do things and roll with it. But there's some fun interactions!
Glad it was useful!
M.
Just got this game as one of my birthday gifts. I got so hyped before buying it and even more hyped when I got it. This guide already looks very well made. I will watch it when I have free time but dude u deserve waaay more subs for the time and effort u put in this video.
I'm glad you will find it useful!
Best of luck in your Magiking!!! ;)
Love the channel, keep up the great videos.
Trying, but traveling atm :P so tis difficult!
wow, so organized! you're a genius! Thanks ;)
+Ahmad lababidi Cheers :) I put a bunch of work into it :P But it's fun so..
2:50. I remember Magicka had a way of having Water and Lightning in the bar at the same time. First you made Steam (QF) and then added Lightning (A) and then Cold (R) to break up the Steam, or you first made Ice and then added Fire, and the Lightning would still be there. Did they fix this bug?
So: QFAR or QRAF would let you wield both in Magicka 1.
Edit: 4:32, I see you answered that now.
5:10, so, Fire does not turn Ice back into Water (as Cold did to Steam as well)?
7:11 Being wet is not necessarily a debuff if I have Lightning absorption ward.
Yeah so at 4:13 I mention that. They fixed it unfortunately. The ol water electricity shield was great!
Thanks for explaining and the shortcuts xD
Anyone still play this 2024?
Hell yeah dawg I just got this game
Same here. Game’s fun asf
@@cinnamonbun8110 yessir playing that game currently 😂😂😂
Nice work !
2 minutes in and i already find it useful! Damn, google doesn't know what results would be great for me... I've been searching for a thing like this for months, literally!
So, you didn't mention, poison also slows. It might also have an effect on focus regen. Also, you didn't notice, but it is a problem for me (miss qerasr too much), so I can point it out: walls (shield+rock or ice) with arcane don't explode if they get some of the other elements (your edsqs as an example: 36:03)
Looking forward to your future videos!
+Comedi Nyan Nice pick up there! I hadn't noticed. Interesting that they change that with the extra spray. And thanks for the poison tip. I don't use it anywhere near enough! :P
Glad the vid was helpful! :D
this was really helpful
this game is on sale at the moment for anyone curious. its on Steam.
This video is really useful!
Cheears :)
+SmallGame Adventures cheears
very nice video, thumps up. when can i expect the nova multiplayer guide thingy you talked about in the end, cuz that was kinda why i wanted to know all the combos cuz me and my friend randomly made novas and we had no idea how :D
+Tim Larsen Working on it :) there's not all that many so I'm trying to run through and work out some others that might be worth putting in a vid. But it WILL come! promise :P
@@smallgameadventures8427 when?
@@ironyconfident yes :D
Try Steam + Darkness + Fire + Toxin + Earth and apply it on your weapon. You will be impressed if you attack with it :)
Ice+death+electricity+frost is better
I am gonna miss the Nightmare Hailstone.
Awesome tutorial - can you please refresh the link for the "spell tree"
Bought the game today...100% WORTH IT
Glad you think so!! Got any mates to play with so you can rage at them? That's half the fun ;)
Do you have the image available for download? I would use that as reference SO much. Also the compatibility diagram at the start.
Sure thing. I'll try and stick it on imgur or something :)
bear with me!
Figured out the rock thing did you? ;)
+Nathan67003 Download the Spell tree here: imgur.com/a/T7aGc
*downloads*
One VERY strong combination i use is QSSSAF (Poision Arcane Arcane Electricity Fire)
I gonna thank you
dude i a have a question do you know what are the elements who appears in the scene where theres a picture that shows lok whit SO MUCH ELEMENTS that dont even appear in the game?
Like the one one the wiki? dcix.fandom.com/wiki/Lok
Lok's back story is basically that she can create a bunch of elements, or more so use more than anyone else. So it kinda makes sense lore wise that they show her with abilities that we can't use.
Would be sick if we could though! Just... a tad more complicated haha
Are you going to do a playthrough of this game? I for one would want to watch.
+WolfShade Studios Yeah I'm working on it with a mate, we'll try a chapter by chapter playthrough with all the unlocks maybe. One chapter per episode? We'll see how long they end up being.
Sweet! Can't wait to see it
Finished this up a while ago if you hadn't seen already :)
This was done if you're a keen bean :)
Good vid
I'm really new at this game. How do you do those kinda crystals that shoot for you? Like the one that was shooting the death beam
Hi there, I hope some of these walk throughs help you then!
The crystals (there are both an AOE one and a directional) are considered magiks, like your haste or teleport etc. This means that you need to find them in game before you can use them. The crystals (otherwise known as prisms) are only received by completing certain arena quests. I can't for the life of me remember which ones. These are the challenges that are not part of the story line.
In game I'd only recommend using the prisms in single player, and normally one for a defensive action or to cast a nova as I do in the tute here. In multiplayer just get your mate to cast the opposite beam for you ;)
DogIroncutter - I was thinking the same thing but was too afraid to ask! Thanks for stepping up for me lol
playing on the console is hard like your most buttons perform two actions and sometimes overlap and its hard to use magicks if its not on the quickslots you have to repeat the spell like atleast once to work
How the fuck does this only have 344 views?
Right!! :P
only got it up a little while back. most people watch the out-dated one and send be annoying messages saying I got it wrong haha. aww wells
+SmallGame Adventures And I really mean it!
I'm the usual guy who doesn't comment on any videos yet spends lots of time on youtube, so I know what I'm talking about when I say that this is a great and well-worked video and really above the usual youtube level.
You really seem like you know what you're talking about, and you don't make mistakes at all. Also, you explain yourself quite great (except maybe it gets quite repetitive with the sprays at some points)
Thanks for the video ^^
+Luisor Thanks :)
Guess I'll have to do more then haha
I keep seeing people cast a single stationary rock that has an element attached to it like lightning or water. It looks similar to Guardian. I've seen people use the water rock to push themselves across chasms, etc. Can you tell me what the spell combo is for this?
Nevermind, finally found it. They're called 'Prisms' and are unlocked by doing Trial #2.
You cool man, keep it up
+SuicideRedemption100 Cheeeeers :P
one thing i pocked up is that you can revive whatever flying thing is following you once it dies reviving you
Yes! This is really important in single player. Whenever you die you always have enough time of invincibility to revive your fairy if you are quick enough. In this way it's technically not possible to die in single player... The only exception to this is if you get knocked (water or other knockback effects) into a hole as you spawn. But you have to be pretty unlucky! It happened to me in my 'Bananas isn't good enough vid'!!
What about arcane arcane earth arcane arcane area attack? It produces a huge spiky pulsating barrier ring around you! Are there more special spells? Theres also a fire rain spell
Yeah, so what you are referring to is the Magiks, this vid only covers player made spells. All the magiks are accessible from the quick cast bar and it will tell you how to cast them. There's a whole bunch and they're all super powerful!
@@MottySha ah alright, thanks! I will look further into them
I need a help of a magicka expert.
Pliz my CPU is so bad I need a new one. Can u magick me a one?
Do enemies take damage from being flung into walls from strong water knockbacks? Like from water arcane rocks?
As far as I know yes, but only if they are thrown a long way and it's not very much damage. Although in levels with a cliff it is certainly effective to just knock enemies off it, especially bigger ones!
I wouldn't recommend using knock back and your main method of damage though. Might be a fun challenge run!
how do you cast 3 steams lightning, arcane? when i cast water/fire, it just show up as water and ice and not steam
well you're either missclicking or glitching the game. You're only going to get ice from frost and water. so you might get water and ice by hitting water-water-frost? but if you're hitting fire and water then you'll never get ice...
best 3 hit combo
Steam, lighting, and arcane
ice, arcane, lightning, and cold
fire, rock, and death.
Steam beam makes enemy wet, electric ice freezes foe, and flaming rock smashes them.
Great one for multiplayer is to use one of those beams each and just strafe :)
In single player it's faster to just use the beam. Although check out my "Bananas is too easy" run and you'll see me using that combo. Although I use the Thunderstorm magic to get them wet, then the icy wind magic to freeze them and a solid meteor (only rock) to finish them :) the magics do more damage and are faster to cast with the quick cast option.
Well, this is possible for single player as well, if you have patience and are dealing with few foes.
how to cast this local arcane beam at 27:05??
It is the prism magik. can only be cast from the quick cast bar and is obtained (I believe) from completing Challenge 2 or 3 on bananas... Possibly... Please let me know if you find out.
Why does this have dislikes he's giving you free information on the game
Probably because the gameplay is in a tiny circle in the corner of the screen while there's a ton of blank space in the middle.
Fair call, I initially had no game play footage at all haha, it was recorded after the fact :P
that is why I am gonna dislike now
you do you man
where do u get that beam crystal thing?
you unlock it in the challenges. Can't remember which one to be honest. But it's in there. There is a directional one and an aoe one.
Yo, Helldivers is cool too, more limited in comparison to spells, but content infinite like minecraft
Promo material just looks like a TPS? There's spells?
does anybody else still play this in 2017
The user base was never that large, but Obviously some people still do :P
P Freeman P Freeman i just bought it
I'm playing 2018
Ricardo Mendoza ikr
just bought it lol ^_^ i had no idea Magicka 2 was even out
Should have mentioned that you can prolong shields by using life on them
True that :) but I didn't mention a whole BUNCH of extra stuff that you can do, I really only covered the basic spells.
Foor instance if you watch my Chapter 4 (?) walkthrough you'll see that you can also destroy rock/ice based shields by casting mines over them which makes a massive aoe. But again, not really part of this vid :)
How do you create that crystal that fires the arcane beam?
+TrainingMacro That is a directional prism./ It is kind of like a magik (but you can only cast it from the quick cast bar). You unlock it by completing one of the Challenges (I can't remember which one off the top of my head. Will have a look for you)
+SmallGame Adventures tnx
I'm playing 2023
if you have never played on a console you can get a feel for it by using a controller puggedin to your computer. that's how I play.
I could... or. I could just use the computer version ;)
I just mention that because it might be different on console, all other information is the same, just flicking between elements to cast them is a little slower (as I understand it)
i have magicka 2 but i cant usr poison when i mix death and water i get water death beam
+Eiidjrk Udjdj Hmmm the only thing I can think of is that you have not updated your game for a while? Try going into online mode and making sure you're up to date. Otherwise.. Contact Paradox trouble shooting I guess. I got nothing :P
How do you walk like that? Are you using a controller?
Walk... Backwards?
I use a mouse, but if you click and hold and then move the mouse slowly backwards your guy won't turn around. I'm assuming that's what you mean?
fire and electricity and arcaine are op together
The AOE is very broken!
But you may be better off with Steam elec and death for larger enemies ;)
Why do you call "arcane" what's called "death" in my version of the game? Is there more than one English translation of the game??
Yeah sorry about that. They use both words here and there. Death makes more sense in this game. But arcane used to be used before the poison element existed. They're the same thing :)
Hah, that explains it. :D Subbed nevertheless, have an awesome day!
I wish they'd bring back wizard wars or put a pvp mode in #2
You can totally ruin each others day still! Just open first chapter and got to the carnival, it's perfect
lightning is not a secondary spell, try lightning + arcane and see if its a beam.
I do that in the vid eh (11:32).
Arcane + lightning forms a beam, not the lightning tendrils you get when using the lightning as a base...
thanks, now i know that i cant use a destruction lightning spell
+Glenn Kievit
Try, instead, Steam + Steam + Steam + Arcane + Lightning.
It's an old favorite from Magicka 1 which we affectionately called the "Super Super Steam Lightning Beam!"
It consistently did 5,000+ damage per casting and causes slain enemies to explode, weakening more enemies.
Also gets foes wet, immediately capitalizes with lightning damage, and lasts a long while. The AoE variant, the "Supernova," is Steam + Lightning + Arcane + Arcane + Arcane, which, also in 1, would vaporize all goblins within half a mile of you, and is a 2-hit KO on deep ones.
In both instances, make the steam first! Water + Arcane = Poison now!
Ok nice ty
Glenn Kievit
You're welcome!
The spell is just... the Beam was, quite frankly, disgusting. Getting the first shot against a horde of lightweight enemies like goblins spelt death to the entire group, no questions asked.
Also of note is the Blizzard Ball.
Stone + Ice + Ice + Ice + Ice
It would do over 10,000 damage when fully charged. I would snipe trolls with it!
...Wasn't nearly as good as the beam against shoggoths, though...
+Red Dragon Yeah nice spells :) if you watch my walkthrough I use the aoe a lot! Technically you will get more damage from a single steam and a bunch of lightning, and with the intro of poison you get even more utility. As far as I'm aware the most damaging single target spell in the game currently is the Steam + Poison + Arcane + Elec + Fire beam, but I find that hard to cast so I normally sub another elec for the fire.
Enemies will always explode from a beam IF the last damage proc is the arcane. If it's the steam of elec that kills them then there won't be an explosion. So if you're going for explosions use single steam and elec and 3 arcanes ;)
+Red Dragon Ice meteor doesn't work anymore unfortunately, with the update combining rock and ice gives you the shards now. Many sad faces
is ther more stof like nova
+Kadir Ali there's plenty of different combinations that work well. Nova is a big one, combining contrary beams to double the effects is another. And other general spell combinations that work well together. Try A fire rock arcane wall followed by fore arcane mines ;)
Life arcane is still the best
2024 😊
How do you get poison? I can't find it
Combine Water and Death... As per video :)
Matt Shaw But I've done it, and it gives me a water spray :(
A deathly water spray
That's what poison is. If the arcane and the water aren't combining in your spell bar then you probably need to make sure the game is up to date.
Matt Shaw but mine is blue, not green, I think mine is an older version
:(
I think you missed the multiple beam spell combinations im not sure didnt watch the whole video
I mean... maybe watch the whole thing before critisizing ;)
But yes, this is only single player combos, as I mention in it. There are no multiplayer spells as such, just interactions. But you can get the same interactions on your own if you're fast enough.
Is it possible to play co op with steam friends
Zelulu of course! Just make sure you don't tick 'offline' and then invite them to the game. 4 player max, only co-op. But you can turn it into a vs petty easily if you want.
Matt Shaw emm can i play with you XD My Steam Name Is "Zelulu"
Zelulu as a question.. That would make more sense.. Haha.
I'll add you, if we're on at the same time then sure :-)
What about stuff like dragon strike and lightning strike
Yeah so those are 'magiks' rather than spells. Unlockable and can be set to the quick cast. I didn't cover the magiks because it would add an extra 20-30 min on. would you like to see an episode on that? I find them pretty self explanatory. hit a button and off they go :) actual casting is a bit more complex
+SmallGame Adventures I'd love to see a video on magiks
How do you get the death element?
I think he called death arcane. It's actually called death and not arcane.
You're wrong. It's Arcane, but if you consider it counters life, then you could call it death, but it's actually Arcane
Blake In my version of magicka 2 it's mentioned as death and not arcane. Not that it makes more sense.
Ah, it might be a translation thing then
Death and Arcane are the same element, they seem to use the names interchangeably. I tend to say death because life nullifies it, so that makes sense to me. If you're asking about keybindings... Well... check your key bindings in the options menu :)
Wait dont you think the Ice+rock+barrier = to OP?!
Not as much as the old QRQRASE spell from Magicka 1. The Ice Rock projectile is good, but you DO have to aim it. I prefer the beam spells because of the chance of an arcane kill (that triggers the explosion death).
Also I assume you're talking Magicka 1? The Ice rock combo doesn't really work in M2. You get the shards instead. It's good, but super low damage
I miss the ARSE QRASER
ah yes, the 'big nukems'
Life-Poisen & Shield-Sword?
Not sure I understand the question?
You cant use life and poison in the same spell eh. Shield on a sword charge works well though!
@@MottySha K, didn't catch you saying Life & poisen don't mix & combos of putting shield on sword. Just mentioned it cuz this is supposed to be EVERY spell you can use in the entire game that isn't a special.
When I say special I mean like revive, haste, lightning bolt abuse a scroll, etc.
@@bradthomas7933 no stress, the poisen life thing is at the start (5:00). And using the sword is more of a cast type, I also didn't really mention the static beam and aoe magic casting methods. But same deal, same spell effect different cast type :P
And if you do steam then electricity =grey steam with electricity
Which I mention at 9:40... :)
Miss charm
Whos here in 2023

Why are you using a small screen. I can't see a thing.
The main idea is the element tree ;)
The other thing is just a visual demo.
cool video, but the amount of "alrighty" is too damn high
Don't apologize to console users, they knew what they were getting into :)
"Oh, hey, I think I'm going to buy a computer with no keyboard."
I'm actually very curious how Star Trek Online is played on a console. It uses like a zillion keys.
Very easily, cause all your keys are pointlessly stupid, and they streamlined it all down for Consoles to do the exact same thing with just the push of a few buttons.
@@Jirodyne they aren't pointless, they are attacks and buffs, so you must be getting macros or something to make it easy like how console FPS games all have aim-assistance.
It is a well known fact that a keyboard player can wipe the floor against a console player in FPS and RTS. There was a game in the making once that cross-platform had PC players against consoles and they abandoned it after tests revealed the PC players totally dominated.
No need to apologise to the console peasants. They should be apologising to us PC users for the holding back and dumbing down of game's
