100% Mystic Knight Run. Dragon's Dogma

[@gabrielesalvemini4298]

Man i admire your loyalty to this game, i watch every video you upload, love this game! Hi from italy!!

[@eugeniospagnolo7874]

This game easily has one of the best rpg combat system in the market. Imho it even beats the dark souls series in this regard, due to the HUGE variety in classes and skills this game has and due to the fact that combat in this game isn't hard due to pattern learning and fast reflexes, but due to the tactical approach that is required to beat some encounters. Ciao!

[@zzzsaga]

Come dicono gli italiani, questo gioco é una figata! eheheh

[@zarakikenpachi7359]

@@eugeniospagnolo7874 in regards to how classes work, I prefer dark souls since your character isn't locked to which fashion depending on the vocation

[@bcalath]

Just gotta say what others have said. So glad to see you back on DD. Your comment is always great and informative and I loved the schematics videos. Keep up the great work, again, glad to see you back!

[@sortet151]

You are the reason I’ve become so good at MK thank you for all the content

[@thedarksideofthemoon4227]

1:48:10 that was intense, i don't think i would have been able to react as well as you did. Split second full moon slash for iFrames was incredible

[@EuZeco]

I missed these runs bro. I'm glad you're back!

[@Whitebreadonly]

Another spectacular video. Without a doubt, the GRANDMASTER of Dragon’s Dogma. This one actually made me consider using a Mystic Knight build. Thanks for all your contributions and your demonstration videos on everything you do with this game and to help everyone new to the game and even those of us who are more experienced get better at it and still learn new things; things we might never have learned if not for your help. Like the fight with the Cyclops at 1:44:28 I think. When you climbed on his back to make him drop his helmet. I’ve never seen that. How did you make him do that?

[@Whitebreadonly]

Correction…1:38:27. The Cyclops just drops his helmet for some reason. I’ve always just tried to shoot all the armor off first or just shot them where they had no armor.

[@Nihil0.0]

If you climb up the helmeted cyclops and place yourself in between his shoulder blades, he will reach for you but remove his helmet in the process. Then jump off and his head is exposed for you. 1:38:14

[@Whitebreadonly]

Damn you’re fast. Thanks for answering, and so promptly at that. I learn something new damn near every time you put out a new video, and I think you’ve boosted the fan base for this game significantly. I see so many new uploaders with new videos of this game who, quite often, seem to have drawn their inspiration from your videos. You really do make the best videos of this game that I’ve seen. Thanks so much for all your contributions man!! Also, I wanted to tell you congratulations on your marriage!!!

[@leonao795]

That clip at 3:16:40 was awesome, I need to play Mystic Knight once more. Keep posting, love your vids, love this game 😁

Wassup Nihil, got any other favorite games seperate from Dragons Dogma? Have you tried Monster Hunter or Elden Ring? I love all 3 of these games and feel like they all kinda carry the same vibe.

[@JumalaPlays]

Glad you're back! :)

[@Epoch2498]

1:48:12- either you were oblivious, or just ballsy af, lmfao. Edit: It's really refreshing to see people like you keep this game alive, and even more refreshing to see all these people still remember and cherish this game for what it was, and is.

[@gnauenburg2018]

I have to say how much it tickles me that you just dont bother with small coin pouches even when they are right next to the giant ones. You are indeed special!

[@shao5141]

After watching this MK vid and many others from the Rift etc. I Got motivated to start a run in hardmode with a completely new save. It's very fun and challenging at the beginning, for me at least. I had to level certain vocations to get useful augments like Grit or Sinew etc. I feel like Bastion and Awareness are overpowered in hardmode. Like a lot. Read that it was more in hardmode but it's weird. Went from 1 shot from goblins to 5-6 shots. Having a blast anyway. Currently level 26, rich and on my way to the Shadow Fort. Thanks for sharing once again Prof!

[@balajidiwakar3910]

My god, i was very much impressed with your solo MK run with Holy & Dark powers. Then you had videos educating the masses on the mix max, strength vs magick etc. Now this video is pretty great. Salute the maestro :). Cant wait for DD2 and then your series of videos on it

[@starsenal]

Alright! I been waiting for this one. Thanks man.

[@starsenal]

28:08 I don’t know if this will work on PC but on PlayStation. If you take Madeleine through the woods where the Goblins are, she will not stop to search for gold. Once the fallen tree with the three bunnies comes into view as you start to exit the woods. Start to hug the side of the mountain all the way out till you almost make it to the quest marker. It’s not a 100% that once you start to exit the woods that she will not stop at to search at that point but it is rare and it’s only one time if she does stop. Just a small tip to speedy up this little quest for ya :) I hope it helps

[@SnaccHBG]

I just carry her across and the quest goes just fine

[@darkarisen9805]

Better yet, take the beach route. She doesn't stop and no enemies.

[@starsenal]

@@darkarisen9805 that’s awesome! Can DCP from the Seagulls on the way. You the MAN :)

[@Whitebreadonly]

Yeah maybe if you do that quest during the day, but at night time, you’d have goblins interfering along the way, plus wolves come down from the woods, no matter which route you go. Again, that’s just if you try to take her there at night. During the day, it’s much easier.

[@dougtrythalleqoasharpy3101]

Thanks for coming back and doing this! Your the DD goat. And damn you, because now I'm starting a fresh playthrough 😐

I just did a hard mode reset as mystic Knight. Got to grigori at lv51. My leveling was 20 lvs as fighter, 15 as sorcerer, and 15 as mystic Knight. As enjoyable as it was i really struggled with dying due to everything 2 hitting me. But that made it so much better when i actually beat him. And all for that stupid coat- 😂 love your videos man.

[@jack5590]

Another great video. Any chance on you doing a full vocation run for all of them? The hybrid classes seem the most to handle most enemies and situations the best, however full warrior and full fighter seem very gimped, just based on them having no range option. BTW, loved your money build back in the day. The coin purse of bleeding.

[@Desheep]

I'm doing the same run and build myself, only far less skilfully 😊 I think the hardest stretch for me was early bbi, levels 60-100

[@Vladarius.]

I was wondering, anyone know how to measure the shield stability of magick shields? Or shields in general? Its a bit complicTed and i still dont understand how it works. I keep perfect blocking but i get staggered.

[@nolanstrebel9405]

KZbin keeps deleting my comments so here goes again for the 3rd time. I'll put spaces in the wiki link and try that. In general, the higher the shield stats, the better the block because the stability stat is hidden From the wiki: dragonsdogma . fandom . com / wiki / Blocking_and_Perfect_Blocks "There is a hidden stat ("Blocking Ability" or "Stability") that governs how strong an attack a shield can block without the block being broken. With sufficient 'stability' an attack can be blocked repeatedly without the block been broken (unlike being staggered), provided the attacks have not depleted the blocker's stamina. A shield's blocking ability appears to be independent of the Arisen or Pawn's Defense, Stagger, or Knockdown resistances. It is also independent of the Stagger and Knockdown power of the shield in question. Each shield appears able to reliably defend against attacks of certain power, but above that power the block will always be broken. For example, a Round Shield can reliably block a road guard's (Soldier) light attack (Onslaught), but cannot resist their heavy attack (Empale). On enhancing, dragonforging, or rarifying a shield may gain Improved Blocking Ability allowing it to resist heavier blows." Additionally, the augment "Periphery" increases this stability stat, making it less likely you'll be staggered. The augment "Prescience" increases the perfect block window, making it easier to land perfect blocks. This augment is not advised to use as it teaches you to rely on the augment and not learn how to time the block perfectly. Edit: KZbin did not like the link, now the comment is staying. Freaking broken platform

Hey Nihil, thanks for this. Your voice was kinda getting drowned out here and there though, particularly when Grigori roared at the beginning

Is it worth to go full magick damage on mystic knight? I mean sorc +mage and some strider climbing aguments, with elemental swords. I like wand+shield gameplay against orcs. Thanks for amazing gameplay

[@foolishknight5209]

Man, you play super different from me. Maybe it's cause I haven't even gotten to NG+, but man, I considered naming my character to Full Pockets Charlie, with how much crap I hoard on my person at all times.

How did you become a mystic knight from the get go?

[@Bourikii2992]

Once you get your main pawn, if you have dark arisen you can return to cassardis wait till night time and go to bitterblack isle which allows you to change to advanced vocations.

I can start the game, but both my Char and my Pawn are blank named fools... Does anyone know a fix for this? I tested the Steam and the GOG version, both have the same problem on Win10. I know everything worked fine on Win7 and Win 8.1 years ago... because i played this game hundreds of hours without issue.

Trying to find the best party for it. Ranger, mage and sorc was efficient but it causes less attacks so i can use the shield lol (lassitude and grapple spells paired with all the elemental spells were constantly sending the foes flying up or away).

[@vgtall3853]

I've seen enough videos in your channel to know your playstyle is riposte-focused, but I've been playing MK myself recently and noticed something... Is it just me or the elemental buffs from the Magick Shield are way more powerful than those of a sorcerer or a mage? I'm pretty sure my fire-enchanted weapon, for example, gets much stronger when I use a Inferno Invocation on top of it. Same for Holy-enchanted weapons buff with holy.

[@DonQoo]

I never played Draongs Dogma and want to start playing it and thinking about maining the Mystic Knight. What did I see here? It looks like you speedrunned to the Addon-Part? This feels a bit cheated on the first playthrough. How long do you think it will take for me to "naturally" become a Mystic Knight and will my stats already be messed up by then? In another guide of yours it said that you should start as Mage and then go straight to Mystic Knight? I would just like to play the way you would probably play if you don't know the game yet. First do all the quests in the starting region etc. and then at some point become a Mystic Knight naturally. But I'm afraid that my stats will all be wrong?!

[@vayneglory655]

If you run a only one vocation build [ except for the first 10 level (I think you need to reach lvl 10 to unlock the other vocation) ] will you able to make a strong arisen or you need to do some min-max on every vocation to be able to make a strong arisen?
