Divinity Original Sin 2 Corpse Eater Guides

  • Eating body parts as undead will still heal you.
  • As listed below, eating specific body parts will grant the character skills. Although you don't need the corresponding ability points to learn skills that way, you will still need them to be able to use said skills. For instance, your character must have points in Scoundrel to use the Adrenaline skill granted by Finn's body part.

DOS 2 Corpse Eater Notes & Tips

  • Eating quest-related body parts might prevent you from completing some quests. See, for instance:
  • Killing Garvan in the Black Bull Inn and eating his head unlocks the Trader's Secrets talent (+1 Bartering). See the Aggressive Takeover quest (Act 2).
  • It seems that if the body part gives a skill that the character already has, the games script roles a 20% chance to give a random other skill which is level 2, or lower.

        This racial skill kinda sucks I've been eating the whole world and every piece of corpse hand feet head I literally am a cannibal and a flesh eating monster at this point and 99% of the times it gives nothing.

        The few times I got something it was a random skills which I don't meet the requirements to use it...
        Only good thing was Wings for my poly elf rogue.

          Besides those that contain fixed skills, mentioned by the wiki, there are some other body parts that give you a random skill. But something I've noticed while playing Definitive Edition is that when you try to pick a different random skill via multiple loading, at some point, this body part you're trying to eat might lose the property of giving you a skill. Although it looks like an anti-cheat mechanism, I can't say it's definitely a rule because I didn't tried it too many times. But anyways, since I found no other report of this specific effect, I decided to share.

              I wondered which body parts were quest related. ...like Atusa's leg for Neils. I know! I'll check the wiki!

                There's an unarmed elf vendor at the academy that sells three body parts that teach you Apotheosis, Meteor Strike, and Pyroclastic Eruption

                  There's a lizard in Reaper's cost graveyard (near Rhyker's mansion,X: 615, Y: 173) that permanently curses you (removable by bless) if you dig up his grave , then eat his leg. XD The dialog is pretty funny as he's baffled by your actions.

                    cool tip, if you are playing as fane you start with the item that lets you change your race, you can change your race to elf and eat Finn's body part at the begging of the game.

                      I haven't seen anyone post this find before. I'll post it here, just found it now. Poison Wave can be found at X: 622. Y: 175. It's from a hidden diggable grave. Probably requires X lvl's of wits to spot. There's a Lizard corpse buried in the human section of the graveyard, atleast that¨s what The Red prince says when you find it. This is all on Act 2 by the way. - Cryptical Void

                        So what I have noticed is yes, there are some parts that give pre-determined skills. As for the rest, it seems they have a *chance* to give a whole host of skills. I realized this when I did the following:
                        1. Save
                        2. Eat 5 body parts - acquire a huntsman ability
                        3. Load
                        4. Eat the 5 body parts again - acquire no abilities
                        5. Load
                        6. Eat the 5 body parts again - acquire warfare ability

                          In Ryker's dungeon, Fire Whip from a disembodied leg under a table on the north side of the room among lots of rotten parts.

                            I got Corrosive Touch from eating a body part from somewhere, I think it was from a pile of them in the cave of the Sallow Man. By that point I just stockpiled them and ate them in batches. To my knowledge the Corrosive Touch skill isn't obtainable normally as the skill crafting for it is broken.

                              Purity of Mind: Southeast of the Hollow Marshes - Bridge waypoint is a chest surrounded by noxious bulbs and two talking, impaled heads. In the chest is a severed head, and eating it will give you the skill.
