Suddenly, modders and speedrunners are revisiting a strange bug that bends the purge path in Divinity Original Sin 2. This old exploit quietly resets your choices, giving players a second chance.
Forgot This Purging Wand Glitch? Fix Your DOS 2 Playthrough Forever is a bug that locks purging choices until you reload an earlier save. Studies indicate it tricks the game into thinking no purging happened, letting story flags reset. Research shows the item script fails to update after dialogue decisions.
How The Glitch Works
This trick happens late game around New Game+. You equip the Purging Wand, talk to a companion who references purging, then refuse when asked to purge someone. Because the purging flag never locks, the option stays open forever and you can repeat decisions.

Why It Matters Now
People are replaying the game with new mods and community tools, so old quirks are trending again. Some love fixing mistakes, while others enjoy seeing what breaks when you refuse the purge.
