How to CARVE & REMOVE Blocks with Blueprints | Dragon Quest Builders 2

I show you a neat little trick which could be a game changer for many of you, that have troubles removing larger areas or structures manually. This will hopefully solve that issue and now you can just lay back and let your villagers do all the work for you. Enjoy! :)

Ben was the Master of Destruction all along, he's making blueprints to destroy blocks ! :o

[@Hi_83741]

:o how’d I not know that?!

[@Hi_83741]

Your right!

[@adrianbuelna1]

And here I was going around smashing it all with my bronze golem, like an animal!

[@MGM_Think]

this idea in the video is brilliant but too slow, there is nothing like a golem to make flat earthers right.

[@BenXC]

@@MGM_Think yeah this is only efficient when you do something else instead (like getting rid of water, change floor blocks or remove plants) and not just stand there watching like me :D

[@gunkguy5934]

I used gold golem like a rich animal

[@magickmiiror2853]

I have so many random floating blocks way up high I couldn't reach with my golem and now I need to take a Chimera to get me up there and one by one finally destroy them lol

[@lenaripper320]

@@magickmiiror2853 thats what i did but with the golem and now i dont know how to fixmy mess of blocks

[@stlim3589]

This is such a great idea! I have been destroying everything by myself ever since I realized that my golem can’t destroy grass blocks without converting them :/

[@magickmiiror2853]

You're telling me these giant rock smashing robots can't kick a cube of dirty?! 🤣

[@gameg_97]

Thank you ! Now I know that all the time I spent terraforming by hand was wasted! Really, thank you (I am crying inside of me).

[@MGM_Think]

it's OK if you cry inside you, don't let others cry inside you.

Idk why but I'm in love with his accent. He's just so smooth and silly which makes his vids all the more enjoyable. Please tell me someone agrees. 😭❤

[@BenXC]

I agree 😄

[@ashleygeroux2760]

Agreed hes my fav streamer so much fun to watch and listen to!!❤❤😁😁😀

[@YurimaPlays]

Normally i dont throw old ppl off a cliff....😂😂😂

[@Arcane1985]

And here we are, a day after I finished my tunnel system and underground citadel... I would have been so pissed if you had found a way to destroy earth blocks! 😅

[@Ric_93]

Oh wow! Never knew this was possible, I already feel it's going to be a good video!

[@mattshuey1]

A cave system is a great idea! I haven't tested it but maybe muddy hands will move dirt blocks. I know they strangely have a penchant for cooking so they might be good at some other useless task you wouldn't think they'd be good at. And thanks for the shout out, it made my day!

[@mybrainhertz8643]

Holy crap I think I get to teach ben something instead of vice versa for once. Bear with long read. I learned this from japanese player I watch. You can smuggle blocks to story island by having only malroth in area like green gardens, then place blueprint down but NO chest. Malroth will destroy anything in way of blueprint, so like magnet blocks and pusher/puller blocks, and will hold them (not sure of how many the limit is). But anyway, then while he's holding them you ship off to chapter 3 island for instance. Put a chest down there and he'll put the blocks inside. I watched her then use the smuggled magnet blocks to take the npcs from anywhere like Ragnarok castle to her base and add them to her residents. Get them within base and ring bell and ta da, npc army. Link for non believers, she's got tons of glitch vids. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4qoe6N7gKuXaZo

[@masongrae5010]

Just want to say ive been watching your videos for almost a year now? (Started with the demo video guide for DQB2) and you finally won me over...i bought the game and now i cant stop lol

[@BenXC]

Finally! 😈😂

[@ironmike9032]

Thanks Ben for the great tip! It would of saved me hours of manual destruction of blocks where I built the two biggest castles in the game side by side. You could also go to the mining island and blue print the caves there that have mushrooms stalags etc. The sphere imprint was pretty cool though.

[@chnmasaki]

Thank you so much, most useful video for me so far and I’ve been watching a bunch for your excellent tips!

[@Princemohamed8]

Wow, I never would have thought of this! Thank you!

[@queenpenelope_]

Great vid, Benny! Super helpful!

[@MiladyMidori]

Huh. I've done this to bulldoze buildings but it never crossed my mind to make caves with it. Very cool. I'll have to keep this in mind for anything not made of earth blocks. Also I like how this kind of fits with the whole theme of "creation and destruction are two sides of the same coin".

[@ravenswisp813]

This is awesome, never thought to use blueprints to destroy things.

[@clairefletcher1993]

This has been a life saver! Got bored walking around with the golem smashing things! Although now I have a huge pink square in my pretty town 😂😂😂😂😂

[@HerzogZosa]

this is a very cool way to erase mountains :3 Thanks a lot!!

[@missyterry7509]

Man, BenXC, you are a genius. I destroyed every single block with the ultimallet so the droplimit won't get a problem🤣

[@Steph11e]

Thank you for the video!

[@wingsunny]

Wow! Impressive idea! I’ve got so frustrated on smashing 🙈🙈

[@FabioCapela]

AFAIK the limit for blueprints is a volume of 32768 blocks, which does include the open air around the built object. That is the exact volume of a 32x32x32 cube.

[@BenXC]

I also thought the number of blocks was higher, but why was my sphere cut off at some point? 🤔

[@FabioCapela]

@@BenXC Because your sphere has a diameter of 36, i.e., the blueprint base is 36x36. With that base size you can only fit a height of 25 (which amounts to 36x36x25 = 32400 blocks, including open air). If your sphere had a diameter of 32 it should fit in a single 32x32x32 blueprint. In other words, the limit is for the volume of the box that fits your whole build; how many blocks were used inside that box don't actually matter.

[@BenXC]

@@FabioCapela very interesting. Thank you for clarifying :)

[@TamorrLW]

Did think of that for block removal... Cave systems I rather do by hand... Good to know which to use for building though, as mountains are not quite built in a day; at least not with my team of builders. Thank you for the info. :) Reason I like doing the cave systems by hand is simply getting it the way I want it in being more organic looking, and I can fine tune as a go. :P

[@agielkencana684]

I never thought of this 🤯🤯🤯

[@zxuiji]

VERY helpful, I think I will be using that to wipe clean ALL my islands :) Should be interesting to see a blank slate everywhere... crap can't do a thorough job on the 3rd island (snowy one) because of those poxy tornadoes :|

[@holger_eh]

Sehr hilfreich!! Vielen Dank!:D

[@Fauntleroy.]

Your little hammerhood is so sweet❤❤❤

[@barendvanree1906]

Cool items bro

[@scottkeller694]

You can put a sticker and the hammerhood will destroy the blocks.

[@BenXC]

Tried it. But it's not that efficient :

[@tylerbibart5741]

I know this is a old video but I just recently start to play dragon quest builders 2 aging an I just saw your castle build with the tree's around it. 😅

[@HillbillyTrash]

I really hope you see this, can you make a video explaining the dye work station we see in the background? I am new to this game and i didn't know we can make more dye. I had already decided I'm not going to fuss with making items different colors bc farming those dyes seems very tedious

[@BenXC]

I'll see what I can do :)

[@mylepaski2616]

"Where do you make hammers again?" Ah fck it, proceeds to buy it with gratitude points 💀💀💀

[@Appsmmogamer]

What if you want to build for speed? Which npcs are the fastest builders/destroyers?

[@BenXC]

Haha don't spoil the title of my next video 😏😉

[@addiecloud8939]

Hi, I did this but my villagers won’t do anything. I put a chest and everything and they still won’t even get near it! Any help?

[@jaborsey_joseph]

What blocks do Villgers not have access to?

[@mv2666]

This is a year too late from when I terra formed my island but still a great video i can point out to others that are just starting. That comment made me feel old... "back in my day we terra-formed our islands by hand... up hill in the snow!" ;) joking aside some useful stuff there.

[@stayhigh1662]

Sometimes they won't clear the upper parts, does anyone know why this is?

[@hbarudi]

So the whole purpose of the sphere is to make them mine blocks in that shape using the feature that has npcs mine blocks that are being replaced by a different block with the blueprint...

[@makalayp6689]

God damn you are so amazing! 😂

[@sftlife4808]

BenXC : DONT TRY PEEKING TO THE END this video is very useful Me : AND I OOP

[@Wrathful2000]

How do you get the villagers to help build the cube? Do you have to manually build the first cube yourself with the blue prints?

[@BenXC]

You can also get it on my english island (code in the description), just enter it at the noticeboard. Press pause while in there.

[@e.1267]

[@MattTweeks]

A day cycle is what, 6 mins? You had at least 5 cycles while waiting for them...so 30 mins to destroy that one bit of cliff. I feel like a power smash would level that quicker?

Hello Ben, how are you? Hope you’re doing well. I just want to ask, is the heartwood craftable? If so? Where can I craft them? I can’t find any tools that crafting them? Can you please help me? I’ve searched and didn’t find any answer. Hope you can answer my question thanks.

[@BenXC]

Hey Joan, thank you I'm great I hope you too! :) Unfortunately you can't "craft" it but you can acquire it in two ways. Generate Gratitude hearts and buy it through the item store (unlocks after beating the story and then talking to the hairy hermit. Or you build a monster trap on Furrowfield where the Baboons roam. They have a 5-10% chance to drop those.

[@miyazakiendo3743]

BenXC thank you so much Ben, you’re really awesome. Hope to see you’re building videos again. I’m waiting for that. I beat the story, I will talk to the hairy hermit, and I’ll buy those. You’re respond is a great help to me, take care always. 👍🏻

[@JustLou08]

Day 5694 of farming for that stupid thunderbolt blade.. still don't have it. Might as well start a new game. I WILL get it for sure! Anyways, I like the way you think! Using this method, you can make a sort of mold for a tunnel! Place it to a cliff face and watch the villagers carve a shape similar to the mold you made! Or just straight up build one, get the blueprint and place it on any wall lol. As for the earth block shenanigans, you can try the smashing sign (though it get rids 3x3 blocks only... and any tough blocks won't get destroyed) so that Hanky won't dissappoint you anymore lol
