[@LexStormA]

Some skills I often used but didn't fully understand until years later: Divine Defense: Makes you impervious to grabs Clairvoyance: You don't actually have to be facing the enemy for the move to go off Hindsight Sweep/Strike: Can be cancelled by holding shield after the initial dodge, and in doing so you don't lose stamina Just knowing what Divine Defense and Hindsight Sweep can do makes a massive difference for fighter class. It allows you to fight bosses up close and personal without fear of getting grabbed, and gives you a literal dodge skill to avoid any attacks that would consume too much stamina if you blocked. That being coupled with Dragon's Maw which can interupt any enemy attack at will makes it one of the more fun classes in the game even compared to Mystic Knight and Assassin.

Thanks Derek. I am also working in a "misused skills" and a "malfunctioned skills" maybe you can think of some to add. Like deadly gouge being worse than dire, or comestion being better than high comestion. Misused.... so far I just have Arc of, crippling and Downthrust. And yeah, a few more with switch release. Maybe a few after the anime. And, if a sequel, maybe a few more.

@@Nihil0.0 Possible suggestion - What about a guide on elevation-support skills like Ladder Blade, Catapult Blade, Springboard, Leaping Stone etc? I use stuff like that, to help me get to parts in Gransys that I've never been able to see before :D Possible suggestion: Nihil tours all Gransys (a video compilation series of map exploration)? I'd love to see any of your characters run around Gransys, giving walkthroughs on obscure landmarks and secret nooks and crannies XD I'll think of misused and malfunction-prone abilities too, in a bit :) Question - Do you know how to get past the goblin fortress inside the goblin den, which the leader retreats into? Idk how to get into the arena underneath the castle (after the goblin leader automatically runs away). It's always blocked by the gate for me.

One more note about how weird Demonswrath is: It is the only Magick Shield skill that will apply a base enchantment (Thunder Kite Shield, Lustrous Greatshield, Purged Buckler etc.) when a perfect block is executed, so you can actually use Demonswrath to apply thundershock or healing while charging your burst!

One thing I love about Dragon's Dogma is how much poorly explained exploitable stuff there is in the game. I'm never really sure if I'm having fun in a way that was planned or it just kinda worked out that way. Really cool, regardless.

[@davidsoyele7829]

For example the blue moon doors. You can literally glitch through every single one of them, and get some of the strongest bows in the game at level 1, if you really wanted to.

[@ali07saad]

@@davidsoyele7829 i did that but then i had to play without any of them because of how much stamina they take. Even normal attack with the daggers consume stamina.

[@Stefan-xt5sk]

That poorly explained exploitable stuff is what I love in games like this and many older titles. It lets me discover new things every time, which feels great. Even if the moment to moment gameplay is not as much "fun", I'm constantly engaged and theorycrafting ways to break the system. In many new games I feel like I'm just a gear working as intended and feeling what I'm supposed to feel, which is not fulfilling at all. Those games are forgotten as soon as I quit.

[@wamenslot]

Thats what actually i like in games. Most new games try to have a tutorial about anything, even how to jump or move. Dragons Dogma has a lot content that it might give you a description, but let you to try it out. It won't tell you what combos is best or what monster has a weakness to what kind of damage or if you can stack potions or buffs. You just think about a gameplay and try that out. When it works, its like finding gold.

[@goo-o8g]

I agree completely. Same with Morrowind. So many mechanics or things I had no hope of finding when first playing it at age 14 or whatever. But now replaying and learning things on it makes it fun. Can be abused and make the games too easy but if you have restraint I think it's a good thing. Imperfections end up being some of the most fun things

[@JuicemanGravy]

I bought Dragons Dogma on sale randomly cuz I needed to, as I had never played it. I wouldn't have beaten it if it were not for your videos.

It would be really nice if this game had an option to refund skills like the bolide example, it would be ideal to have a regular bolide on a sorcerer pawn but if you accidentally purchase high bolide they will always charge high bolide even if its just one enemy. GG save file.

[@harryunderwood9387]

This. I've said this in regards to mostly Sorcerer and Mage skills, but also the Fighter and Warrior's attention-gain moves, which keep them still longer. Would be a nice quality of life improvement, but sadly not happening.

[@DJWeapon8]

Next game should just leave both the base skill and the upgraded skill available.

[@harchierplebbington9397]

Pretty sure for spell casting the advanced form of the spell only tacks on a stronger version if you charge it for longer, meaning the original spell is still available. This even applies to weapon enchantments. In the video you can see him use regular bolide after charging only for 9 seconds

[@SchradeDemise]

@@harchierplebbington9397 he meant the pawns, they will always cast the most powerful version of anything.

Great gamble means that it's a chance to get high damage, or low damage. It's like a lottery ticket. You win or you lose.

If your playing on PC do yourself a favor and head to the nexus and mod the game. So many good quality of life changes there. Example - change the cast speed buff from articulacy to something meaningful. Or make bolide not waste 80% of it's shots on dirt. My all time favorite is to mod out or increase your carry capacity and reduce stamina use while running.

The Magic Archer skills can be confusing to use as well like how Great Ward Arrow and Magic Rebalancer work as well.

[@MarztheStoic]

Question nils. Why do mage and sorcerer pawns cast in front of enemies like dragons instead of casting behind them. Is it because of their script or do they have to be taught how to?

[@Nihil0.0]

Because you are. They have to be in the screen (in a sense) they need to reset to your side on occasion, and this puts them close to you. Sometimes yes, even if you are far they will place them selves in the front, and that would likely be because the center of the screen is the target, and they need to be in the screen for you to see them (or at least the program says so)

[@MarztheStoic]

@@Nihil0.0 ok ill take that into consideration. Cus I was wondering why they would always do that. How are you enjoying your vacation i hope its been going well?

[@CapitalGearGaming]

There is a mod for the PC version that allows Bolide to hit all meteors, which makes it much more viable. Some can argue that'd make it too Overpowered but all the skills basically are, the mod just puts Bolide up there with the others like Glicel and stuff. Still wouldn't use Grand Bolide, that's better used with something like Glicel but it's nice having it be actually usefull.

[@Nihil0.0]

If the sequel is along the same as this dogma and does not deviate too much into what dogma online was, yes. I would love this sequel, with updated and newer vocations, but the mechanics changed quite a bit in online and I do not care for it. It was mostly the defense thresholds and weapons needed to be absolutely on par to damage. Here I can go and fight Daimon with Criteria and Shortbow, that can not happen in dogma online. Also the whole stamina defense thing was stupid, rather than knockdown and stagger. And just the mmo aspect. God I hate mmo's

If your on pc I would recommend downloading a mod to "fix" bolide it makes the skill more competitive with malestorm but doesn't replace the functionality of other spells. Shame that seism is so under preforming.

[@Nihil0.0]

I did not know about the Bolide mod, but I stay away from mods that change the mechanics since many viewers here are from all platforms, I gotta have the similar results. But also I don't have a problem with Bolide, it serves it's purpose pretty well. And yeah Seism is not very useful

How do you create so many different characters? Do you use a save manager or just create a separate account each time you want to make a new character?

Still doesn't explain why Blearing and Silentium are melee PBAoE. It's...dumb. We are not talking the MK, but a simple Mage, what's he doing running in the front lines? And no, I can't edit it with that fantastic dinput.dll hook mod. They'd actually be quite satisfying to use for CC if they actually had range... Regardless, thanks for this video. edit: Maybe do a vid on the balance of skills / augments? Would love to hear your thoughts.

do periapts and sekret arrow debuff stack with great gamble too?

[@raizelkardis5951]

I still don't understand Rangers Great Gamble skill, I have 5038 stamina with a master ring and virtuoso ring, bow is Dragon's Glaze with damage 1115 but you/he said the bow or bow damage doesn't matter but I only take away two health dots and a half bar from the prisoner gore cyclops's health bar. Is it because of the bracket number in front of my stamina? ST: 5038 (4558) I didn't take any potions, just used the rings to bring the stamina up like the mans did in this video so why?

[@raizelkardis5951]

Nvm, I killed the gore cyclops in front of the other one. I guess my arrow hit the top part of his head and that didn't count as hitting his weak point and instead counted as hitting the backside of the head? Either that or I was just far enough away that the damage fallout from arrow range mitigated some of the damage

[@Legacy-of-Diablo]

I have a question about the max stamina.for some reason I don't know I'm stuck at 3305 for main and pawn 3100? Both strider and ranger build max level. So what happen. I have 4682 base health. Nothing is helping my stamina and I looked on a few pages stating that 4945 is max Without rings.but can't seem to reach it. Any reasons?

[@Nihil0.0]

With 4600 health and 3300 stamina, it sounds like more fighter or more warrior was leveled. 200 levels as Strider gets you 3400 health and 4500 stamina. 190 levels as Ranger gets you 4900 stamina. The Red vocations get more health and less stamina, the Blue get low health and low stamina and yellow gets high stamina and low health.

Playing as the Ranger Vocation right now. I doubt I'll use Great Gamble. Tenfold arrow along with Crippling Arrow and Spiral Arrow seem to OP, but I'd probably use Gamble on things like Grigori or Daimon. 7:17 Yeah I wouldnt climb around there if I was you.

[@Nihil0.0]

I love Crippling arrow. That's my most favorite skill in the entire game, which is sad because I don't like Ranger much. A Strider version would have been great.

[@silverthefox6151]

@@Nihil0.0 Its useful for targeting weak spots though. I just got done with the Catacombs and I'm surprised that skeletons die fast with Sixfold flurry. At least the catacombs are good for ranking your vocation up.

[@julesmcgrules3860]

@@silverthefox6151 arrows count as blunt damage, so they're exceedingly useful against skeletons. I like fearful din a whole hell of a lot. It's a great crowd control skill, though unless you have high stagger/knockdown on hard mode, it's a tad less useful. Though not by much. Still, the key to that skill is absolutely maximizing stagger and knockdown. It helps with tenfold and even the regular shots too. I'm pretty sure the highest a ranger can achieve is 808 stagger/758 knockdown, which is up there in top tier warrior territory. It's fun seeing garm go flying from single shots to the head. 😁

Personally no, I don't think so, but that's because it doesn't apply much to solo play. It is beneficial for Sorcerer pawns..... maybe, but truly, Sorcerer pawns should not be near you in melee range
