Note: This is not an officially confirmed solution, but rather steps tested by myself and by some friends i guided thru the linking process with perfect, smooth results. This is aimed for players that want to link their Smite 1 and Smite 2 accounts, but brings useful insight in general.

Before proceeding to link your Smite 1 and Smite 2 accounts, there are some steps that you should take that might possibly help avoid issues with the linking process. Follow the steps in order:

Install/run Smite 1 first and login with your main account. This is important to make sure your account is in an “active state” thru a recent login. Close the game.

Install/run Smite 2 for the same purpose. This will establish your account registered in this game. Close the game. If you are having any technical issue running Smite 2, please refer first to the troubleshooting compilation post:

Once both games were opened in your main platform for each, it’s time to proceed to the official linking websites:

https://my.hirezstudios.com/linked-accounts (you will need to login with your hi-rez account)

Make sure that your main platform is linked. Take the opportunity to also link your Twitch account for future Twitch Drops, if you have one. Avoid linking other accounts for now.

Next, proceed to the official Smite 2 linking website:

https://link.smite2.com/

Once there, please link your main Smite 2 platform account. Avoid linking other accounts, besides your main and Twitch first.

At this point you should have properly linked both your Smite 1 and 2 accounts. Now it is time to proceed with the Smite 1 Divine Legacy linking if you haven‘t done it yet.

Now, open Smite 1 again. On the main menu, click on Divine Legacy. On the next screen you will see the Divine Legacy linking button on green at the mid right of the screen, click on that. Next, you should see a screen showing your Smite 1 username on the left, and your Smite 2 username on the right. Make sure that both are correct.

The final step is to HOLD the green button below to link both accounts. A bar will start to fill (you can release the click/button to cancel before it finishes filling), noting a message saying that this can’t be undone. Once the bar fills completely, the linking process has completed.

Again this is not an officially provided solution, but it has been tested on several accounts with perfect results.

I hope this helps you with this process. Good luck!
