Dragon's Dogma 2 Ultimate Forgery Guide

[@MrMonklad]

the best use for the forgeries is for armor/weapon upgrade materials, forged enhancement materials can be used in place of the regular enhancement materials. this was a mechanic in the first game as well that allowed you to essentially duplicate upgrade items without actually having to put in effort to hunt down monsters.

[@Polemos_Action]

Ya huge benefit! Thanks for pointing out the importance!

[@728kaos]

Also, you can duplicate the general goal key you get from the story. So when you have to give it back, you have a copy. No more makeshifts

Preserved Medusa heads are super easy to get: Use Warfarer Vocation with Soporific Bolt from Magick Archer to put her to sleep. 2 Bolts should be enough. Then swap to a slashing weapon (I used thief daggers) and use 1 light attack on the head to instantly decapitate her. Works even when she's at full health.

[@Polemos_Action]

Wow that sounds so much easier! I will have to try that!

[@noogai3212]

Eyyyy! I just commented that I did something similar! In my case a warrior pawn just slashed her head off which actually really confused me when it happened. I got excited when I saw her fall asleep and then a few seconds later I got the achievement and then when I went to check the body? There's the warrior standing right by her neck!

[@DragonmindLai]

you can also give the head to a pawn and dismiss them, to send the head in to your storage where it doesn't expire

Did something similar, but used Indomitable Lash after putting it to sleep. Very cinematic XD

[@zc7576]

When I give something to Sphinx, she just take it and then I can get it back from the chest, so in the end the number of the item does not increase or decrease. So how could u duplicate the arrow in this way?

[@luigiongaming3959]

Always sell onyx. You can get infinite onyx by just searching in the rift for pawns with a quest asking for 1 tarring arrow. Idk why but every time you find one of these they are trading 12 onyx I do this every day till I have a full inventory and make a quick 220k.

[@dewanewelch1744]

What!!!!!

[@luigiongaming3959]

@dewanewelch1744 seriously. Idk who's making these accounts but if you just go level by level in advanced search and look at the pawns in the rift by specialization/quest you can easily find these pawn quests that are just giving away onyx that sell for 2400 gold each in vernworth. Sometimes it's also jade or tiger eye and sometimes they want an explosive arrow but the result is always you make a shit ton of money.

[@ButterscotchPenguin]

Okay I’m glad I’m not the only one who has noticed those pawns lol

[@YojiroIshigada]

Those pawns are cause of a friend pawn exploit between 2 people for easy gemstones If person A rests at the inn before setting the quest after person B gets the gems (before the recent patch you could keep dismissing and rehiring while staying in the rift till 99gems, but now they have to reset the quest before you can do it again) Person A can reload the inn save and not lose the gems person B acquired. They just take turns till they're good on cash

[@luigiongaming3959]

@YojiroIshigada I'm aware of this but you're also supposed to set your pawn settings to friends only so others can't take advantage of your quest, and if that is the case then why are they all gemstones. Surely there are other items you'd want to duplicate besides exactly 12 gemstones? I'm suspicious of this being so openly available all the time. I'm making more money just searching for other people's pawn quests than I would doing the patched version of the exploit by like 5 times. Also I don't understand why they wouldn't undo this pawn quest after the patch or when they are finished using the exploit, as I'm finding the same names in these searches every day and as long as a full 24 hours has passed I can do the trade again.

[@Crim_Zen]

For the medusa head what you want to do is have the low damage ring on and the Bolts from the Blue on. Climb onto her during the gaze phase and start stabbing till she falls on the ground... Then *Take Off The Ring* and go for a visceral (V on keyboard) and Gut and Run while clinging to he face while she is on the ground. The ring is just for building up the stagger/ knockdown while not worrying about how much damage you do to the body. If you are just hitting her head, never use the ring. I spent 3 hours doing chip damage with the ring on before trying to do a visceral without it. I got the preserved head right after taking the ring off. I went in a few days later without the ring and got her head again in less than a minute.

[@Crim_Zen]

Also, I recommend any knockdown related buffs.

[@Polemos_Action]

tip for getting preserved medusa head: DO NOT USE THE RING, use bolts from the blue daggers, you can get the head off in one climb, they already come with lighting damage so no need for boon. I've done this several times, being at different power levels, always comes off on first try

For the fellow sorcerers out there, the gigantus can be destroyed pretty fast with a well placed maelstrom.

If you give Everard the fake Jadeite Orb and do not bribe Ibrahim, you get thrown in jail by the guards and that ends the quest, so you do not get anything and just end up in jail if you give Everard the fake and don't bribe Ibrahim. So the ideal way to do the Jadeite Orb quest is to give the real one to Everard and give the fake to Offulve, and this will net you 15,000 Gold, the Ring of Skulduggery, & an Elite Camping Kit, as you will get 12,000 Gold & the Ring from Everard and 3,000 Gold and the Elite Camping Kit from Offulve. Also, you do not need to give the Sorcerer Maisters all 5 Grimoires that they are asking for, you only need to give them a total of three, which is enough to allow you to unlock both Meteoron & Maelstrom for Sorcerer and Celesteal Paean for Mage in a single playthrough.

Same result, almost tempted to kill all the guards, do the quest and then use the eternal wokestone. if anyone has any ideas as to why this happens, please let me know.

[@Violette---]

@@Kay-Dawg do you happen to have the other prisoner in there from the other quest? The guy who tries to assassinate the princess(or whatever she is)? Try finishing talking to that guy and come back later and bribe? Also what happens when you bribe the guard in your game? You have to give him some time, and he will ask for bribe 3 times..😬

[@leekebot1802]

One reason to give the real book "on the transference of souls 2" to the shopkeeper and get his bad end, is that there is an npc involved in the quest about the bandits (Trying to be vague here for spoilers), that if you bribe his way out of jail, and complete that quest, he'll ask what he should do with his future. Default your choice is basically good luck with that, buddy. But there are jobs you can suggest for him, if you completed quests before hand. You can tell him to work at the brothel if you cleared that quest before hand, or, if you gave the real book to the shopkeeper, you can suggest he take over that shop. Those are the only two I know so far with that npc.

[@Polemos_Action]

👀👀👀 Wow! That is a great find. I did not know how to help him out of Jail. Thanks!

[@EdgardR.]

What shopkeeper do you give that book to and why does that get you his bad end?

[@Polemos_Action]

@@EdgardR. If you watch at 14:30 you can see it. It's the item merchant in bakbattal

[@nathansantana7055]

You can also make a forgery of the bribery evidence to give to wilhelmina. This way you can still involve brant and avoid wilhelmina ending up in jail.

[@Polemos_Action]

OHHH nice! I haven't got to that yet. Thanks for sharing!

[@nathansantana7055]

​@@Polemos_Action just make sure to place a portal crystal in rest town b4 starting the quest as you know its a time sensitive quest. Once both evidence r acquired, fast travel to rest town make the forgery and fast travel back. give bribery evidence to brant 1st then the other, and ask for any aid. Give wilhelmina both of the evidences, and after the deed is done, rest only once at the bench near the brothel then go collect your reward. 1 thing to note is that the evidence doesn't seem to count as a forgery as it stacks with the original.

[@brianfluu133]

If you involve Brant show him only the murder evidence and select “whatever help you can give” not the beg option, and he will give you back the evidence and won’t arrest her, no need to waste a day and possibly 2 ferrystones

[@heyimanameheyimalastname]

​@@brianfluu133 I showed him both (bribery first, choose the "search for more evidence" option, then murder) and chose "whatever aid you can" and he gave back both. I then did the same thing with Wilhelmina and helped her, and they ruled his death an "accident"

Nice! I really need to play MA more, I hear it is really good. And thanks for the comment 👍 hope those eternal wakestones save you from the plauge

[@krishnansubramoni7801]

I would have never guessed the Eternal Wakestone was perfectly forgeable especially since most important and key items cannot be forged perfectly. I don't think there will be any way to make money off of Forgeries since the prices to create one is usually much higher than their normal prices (plus waiting time will be pain). That being said, money can be made in other ways. The SpiffingBrit recently released a video where he bought fruits from Melve village, went to Bakbattahl, waited for them to ripen, and then sell them. Apparently, even without having them ripened, fruit sells for more in Bakbattahl than what you buy it for in Melve. And having them ripened increases their value quite a bit. A similar thing is actually still there in the first game where you can get vegetables, get them "ripe", and then sell them for big profit. However, in the first game, they limited restock speed for merchants so that they only restock 1 vegetable a day (it was infinite stock before this), so this exploit is much less exploitable. My guess is they will do something similar for this game too with one of the coming updates.

[@Polemos_Action]

Ya it surprised me also. I did the apple method to get money for this video lol But there were several smaller influencers before spiffingbrit Cool to hear how it worked in the first game. thanks for sharing

That's how I play all my RPG games as well. I'm a hoarder and need to have at least one of every unique item in the game, plus whole stacks of building materials, food items, potions, etc., plus I love to change the colors of my outfits too, so hoard those dyes too. That's what storage containers are used for! Of course, in order to become an ultimate hoarder, a player must be a perfectionist, completionist, attentive to detail, organized, experimenting with all the ingredient combinations, willing to stop and smell the roses and williling and having a high tolerance for grindiing, plus making forgeries for everything in the case of Dragon's Dogma. All us natural born explorers of the world love all these things, while those that just like rushing through games, will not. Oh and,... loving a game we play, also helps with enduring all that grinding. 😎 This game is just like another Skyrim for me, where I have played for thousands of hours through the years. 👍👍 I subscribed too!

[@ForrestYoder]

Mystic Spearhand is what I used to cut medusa's head off. Just get the anti paralyze ring on and have the skill that makes the spearhand jump into the air and come down with a stab. It seemed to land me on her head like her head was a platform. I basically climbed her then used it while jumping upward. Then I just kept mashing regular attack to keep the spear spinning. It does less damage and gives you a lot of hits. The head came off pretty quickly doing this.

I had no idea Eternal Wakestone could be legit duped. That's crazy. Also, regarding Wyrmslife Crystals, those come in bunches at the true endgame once you reach the Unmoored World so it's not really an issue. Same for Ferrystones; every enemy in the Unmoored World has a small chance to drop Ferrystones, and all boss-type enemies will have _guaranteed_ drops of Ferrystones.

The medusa head is not the only way to get that "GIgantus Hardly Knew Ye" achievement. I've got it on my first attempt, didn't even know it was difficult to get it. Enter that quest as the magic archer with a good enough bow and those ice arrows skills. You'll drop those spikes with barely any difficulty (remember to loot them! Each one is a wakestone shard!).

Easiest way to get a preserved medusa is change to wayfarer with soporific bolt(magic archer skill), have a magic bow and dagger. Make your pawns wait outside, put medusa to sleep immediately(takes 2 full charge soporific), switch to your cutting weapon, attack the head. Instant kill to medusa and easy preserved head.

[@jslice5967]

​@Polemos_Action The Decayed head does nothing and sells for 1500 I believe. Also the shield doesn't reflect magic it reflects Medusa's gaze so you can turn her to stone. Makes the fight EASY solo but you can't cut her head oof if you petrify her.

I have to wonder if this in some way a counter to the Dragonsplague. Since the one thing that most effectively counters a whole town dying would be the one that revives the whole town.

[@garyharvey1195]

For the preserved Medusa head, she needs to be debilitated with Thudershock when her head is chopped off after her first health bar gets depleted. I used my main pawn as a mage with the Ring of Motility, and only Lightning Affinity and healing with no attack spells, then my Arisen had the Sorcerer augment that more often debilitates enemies with each hit. I didn't think about that ring the sphinx gave me or putting her to sleep. I love the Warfarer vocation being able to wear every piece of Equipment. I just have Magick Archer stuff equipped, but it's still extremely lovely to have the option to wear light mage or sorcerer robes when the mood strikes me. For the Wyrmslife Crystals, the Drakes respawn, and the Magick Archer can switch targeting rings by pressing Triangle when the cross hairs aren't up, the smaller ring locks on like 5× faster than the large ring, then I use Frost Seekers Bolt five lock ons to his heart, doing that repeatedly knocks him down and drains his HP really fast. I've gotten 20 crystals from one Drake, it's usually 15, but one time I only got 5. I've killed 10 Drake's in my travels so far, and they respawn after about 7 days. Medusa respawns after 14 days someone said. I killed her three times for each trophy, but a stone Medusa has no loot drops, not worth it at all. However, I remember a quest to petrify a Gryphon for the sculptor in Battahl to make a perfect duplicate for the noble in Vernworth. You can use the Sorcerer Augment Stasis to slow down the decaying Medusa head. It's sad I used the petrifying gaze thinking I'd be able to reuse that petrifying gaze multiple times, the head withers after one use. I waited until New Game + and bought the one time purchase of the Ring of Motility twice before facing Medusa because I'm not very brave, more of a coward. I like to stay on the safe side and not take risks. My friend and lots of people are saying "Hard Mode!" But I don't believe they made it through their first playthrough without dying at least once, because I died 24 times total being extremely cautious and staying out of caves as much as possible my first playthrough. I was told the difficulty setting auto adjusts based on your play performance. But when I got stomped on or burned to death by a Drake, when I reloaded my save, he didn't get easier, he just wasn't there anymore.

[@Polemos_Action]

Wow lots of tips here! Thanks for sharing!

[@arcmar8327]

You can also use Warfarer with Magick Archer's soporific arrow to put the Medusa to sleep and then cut her head off with a greatsword heavy attack. Fight lasted 5 seconds, lol.

6:47 I gave the forgery to the non-needy merchant, and as soon as I saw the dialogue on verifying it, I got scared the guard would take it from me and give it to him, when I intended to give it to needy guy from the start. So, I took off for the needy guy to hawk it quick and would just accept the gaol time for getting caught. The merchant had dialogue about trying to run away and it must mean I gave him a fake and attacked me himself. I ran to find the needy guy, and I gave it to him, but my pawns killed the rich guy in that 5 second jaunt, and I think because he started the fight the guards didn’t intervene. I felt bad my pawns murdered this innocent guy so I brought him back with a wake stone right after and he talked to me like it never happened. It was as if we was a random background NPC with a standard greeting. Not sure Capcom expected that extremely specific turn of events. lol

Good rule of thumb I try to use for Ibraham is that if there is some modicum of Magick involved in the items use/success it will not work. There are very few exceptions to rule.
