Dragon's Dogma - How To BREAK Bitterblack At Level 10

[@MegaAnia21]

This is one of the finest games ever made. If you consider yourself a fan of Action-RPG's.

[@The_Rift]

It is, I totally agree Ania ;)

[@fotheloveofmusic23]

Some of the bosses in the later stages of this area can been pretty unforgiving if you haven't mastered the game mechanics and character building

[@joaoJJ86]

there is only 1 slot to save, this is the biggest mistake in the game

[@pixiponpon]

Dragon's Dogma is the best game in the world ever!!! And now we have DD2 to look forward to!!!!!! 😃😃😃😃

[@eightninety.]

Shame this game was smaller than a puddle of water

[@Nihil0.0]

Nice work Sam. It was good showing the locations too, as there was those chests that can give us great gear for free. I liked the Daimon knockdown with the release of Gouge and heavy climbing attack. I love when that happens

[@The_Rift]

Yeah that was sweet! Glad you enjoyed it my friend ;)

[@Voitan]

Into Free at the ending. You instantly get a thumbs up.

[@The_Rift]

Hehe, cheers Voitan - l love that they had this song in the title screen

[@shao5141]

Loved the format once again! Well rounded video and a great challenge! Well played!

[@The_Rift]

Thnx Shao, it was an adventure for sure, glad you liked it my friend ;)

[@HoiPolloiNtertains]

Someone give this man a real challenge. I love how much you know about this game. I just got back into DD (one of my go to games I cycle through) and am loving your content.

[@MattRoadhouse]

Just started my first playthrough last week ... still holds up a decade after release! Amazing video

[@austinshelton8438]

That. Was. Awesome! I especially liked the shot at the end where you sniped Daimon for the killing blow. I swear you just outdo yourself with each new video.

[@The_Rift]

Yeah brother! Wanted that last kill to be perfect, thank you Austin ☺

[@potionofminorhealing2683]

This video was sick. Didn't know you could get good gear so easily on a new playthrough. The presentation was really well done and your music choice was spot on.

[@The_Rift]

Thank you so much man, I'm really glad you enjoyed it.

[@JondarKorric]

it's clearly not a new playthrough. he has Gouge/Dire Gouge, which isn't available until Assassin rank 7 meaning there's some fuckery going on to still be lv.10 but have rank 7+ Assassin. as far as I'm concerned that makes it null and void.

[@BonkHazard]

@@JondarKorric maybe he unlocked gouge later down the line as he was going through BBI.

[@theangler1922]

​@@JondarKorric Are you being intentionally dumb? Lol. He clearly levels up in the video. He STARTED the zone at level 10, not ended it there.

[@Gemmalady]

Great job Fellow Arisen! Would be cool to see you do it live! Would definitely watch you!! An honor to know you! 💥🤩👍

Cheers Majkelos, glad you liked it my friend ;)

[@alexeinuville2555]

You, Sir, are a complete BEAST!!!! I love this game so much, it lets you be unstoppable through your skills alone!! Sure you get powerful through equipment, but if you really know the mechanics, you can destroy enemies far stronger than you. I love it

[@The_Rift]

Cheers Alexei 👊

[@mathieu499]

first time i heard into free - dangan, i was probably 15years younger, and it was on a playstation demo disc, 31 years old now, still listen to this track every now and then

[@The_Rift]

Yeah, Into Free is Dragons Dogma for me. Listening to it now brings many memories :)

[@Osuna2024]

Amazing edit and top playthrough. I'm not sure I'm bold enough to do it, but I will try! Congratulations on your amazing job and on the news of Dragon's Dogma 2. It's channels like yours that help grow the community and get new releases. I am beyond excited and I can't wait to see how your channel grows within the next few years!

[@The_Rift]

Man, I really appreciate the kind words Antonio. Can't tell you how excited I am for the sequel and I feel really lucky that I can be a part of this amazing community.

[@jackfrostingtonerly1891]

That was a very interesting and entertaining video. It hooked me right away and the time flew by before I knew it. And then it closes with the song... awesome.

[@The_Rift]

Cheers Jack, really glad you enjoyed this old creation.

[@darklight645_]

Its fun learning new things about this game when doing early BBI such as weapon level requirements existing

[@OptimusGnarkill]

Dude...this was amazing. Subbed immediately. Need more vids like this. And a Let's Play.

[@The_Rift]

Awesome man! Would love to do a Let's Play at some point.

[@rafin6690]

Right now when I type this comment my level is 63 and I feel stuck on bitterblack Island, I cannot defeat bosses and I thought the mechanic of the game is suck. Then I watch your video, it give me strength to play it again and try changing my strategy to play around. Thanks man!

[@rafin6690]

It's like skill issue

[@alejandroguzmanrodriguez854]

That Arisen is so powerful that he doesn't even have to wear pants, truly a role model for all of us

[@OmniscientWarrior]

Like there are pants that could hold his balls.

[@monis9123]

What a phenomenal game.

[@The_Rift]

It sure is Monis, an amazing game, one of the best out there ;)

[@thejoaoprx]

just one tip: you can get more xp from gazer and death by buying xp periapts (double xp) from barroch. By the time I kill death I am around level 78. Pop the periapt right before killing gazer and it will last long enough for you to kill death as well.

[@The_Rift]

Yep, that's true - did not think about that in this run.

[@SoundConstraints]

Holy shit! Sweet challenge

[@cubicalgee]

Man Dragon’s Dogma 2 is going to be EPIC!!!!

[@The_Rift]

Indeed my dude✊

[@andrewachu13]

This is one of the games i play annually along with skyrim and fallout new vegas. DD and FNV suffer the same fate in that they were rushed and forgotten even though they have a LOT of potential. I’m hoping they’ll get a sequel in the near future.

[@yds6268]

I love Gazer and Bishop for being difficult and yet extremely predictable bosses. Killing them at low level with throwblast is relatively easy, but still a challenge since you'd get one shot with any hit. I kinda wish it was possible to avoid leveling like in DS. So far the lowest level I killed Gazer at hard mode was 12.

[@oleksiikartamyshev3919]

THE LEGEND!

[@bobbyyogah1850]

Use what you find suggestion 👀

[@The_Rift]

Yes, I just HAD to try this one ;)

[@The_Rift]

Well, I went in and gave all the bosses a good beating from all of us ⚡

[@bobbyyogah1850]

[@SolVentulus]

What an amazing video. You really did a great job at making this look like a natural born hero who took on the hardest quest to make a name for himself and it wound up not being much of a challenge for him. This video deserves more views. If you don't mind, what was the music you used? I see 2 listed but there were more.

[@sep_vs_theworld]

my dumb ass out there struggling at level 80 in BBI lol. this is amazing how you use so many other aspects of the enviroment, and items to clear rooms, and kill bosses. kinda eye opening actually.

[@zoeysaba9747]

Cool video as per usual😘

[@The_Rift]

Always love it when you come by 😊

[@Cronofear]

If you only do Bitterblack since the beginning, the game turns into a really hard but rewarding rogue like experience.

[@ashtonjohnston6264]

I just got the game on pc and I lol at you throwing the undead off near the skeleton key, I didn't ever think of that 🤣

[@clintonclay3158]

You can bait the Gazer into attacking itself! 👀 This was gold!

that was incredible!!! tjanks for that video

Dude I need a guide on how your character looks so bad ass. Character creation is way better than mine I spent 30 minutes on my guy and he still looks dumb. Btw this is easily one of the best videos I've ever seen on dragons dogma well done.

[@Scuma01]

Great video. A+

Thank you Maurice, I'm honored 🙏☺

[@kimchiandquesofresco]

I like that it has a nostalgic Nintendo RPG feel with modern day feel and features. Less is more and this game has bother less and more.

[@kimchiandquesofresco]

Also you are a master at this game, I tried to do bitterblack isle today at level 40 and was humbled immensely. I am gonna play the everfall and post game gransys until I'm level 80 and try again

[@The_Rift]

I totally agree man, Dogma had something unique I think only the people that played it understand.

[@swede7581]

oookay tried this 1st time i ever played this game and after a bit in i stoped playing it all together(was way to hard n not fun at that moment) At the release of dd2 and all bad reviews i decided to go back into DD.D.A once again and have help w the internet so i dont get myself into +40 levels harder then i can handle in this game... Watched this video and it looks to be 1 of the coolest places ever in a game ever made+recently just finished witcher 3 /AGAIN so it was time to dive back into this game n stick w it and at the moment am at L19 so yes its looking up a few years later to play it mayby,but still a good game.... Sadly i havent found any good graphics mods for DD-D.A so i could improve the visuals that are starting to show a bit in this game and the years are not extremly kind for it i guess(mayby just me???).. Thanks 4 this video...Definatly something in late game to look forward to see if i can handle it at a much higher level then i am at now(so 40+ Level later mayby at L60 it many would be good idea to try+i just found out i had a eternal something stone so i can fast travel as much as i want in the game n that is just great!!

How to beat bitterblack: throwblast

[@anz3639]

Thats epic dude,im motivated now!!

[@r_c1]

getting past the cockatrice to get the first void key is almost impossible for me but you made it look so easy

[@The_Rift]

I got lucky

[@r_c1]

yeah i had to use blink strike to not get hit by the mages and a wakestone for the gargoyle, also do you remember how many times you had to reset chests for blast arrows and the conqueror periapts?

[@The_Rift]

I think l tried maybe 5-10 times to get the items l wanted.

[@r_c1]

uh ok sorry to keep asking questions but i got one more, what skill did you use on daimon with the sword?

[@JondarKorric]

@@r_c1 the skill was Gouge/Dire Gouge a rank 7+ Assassin skill, meaning he went back and bought skills/already had it

[@Type-Ravenak47]

So the funny thing is I took up dragon dogma about 6 days ago I've never played the game before and I saw this video on KZbin showing you how to get to fire dragon bow I haven't played the main game yet but I'm technically at level 50 and it has been a monstrous amount of hours some of the bosses took me about 3 hours of none stop playing 💀

[@TheValiantBob]

Ah so that's how you do early Gazer! That will help because I was wanting the liquid effluvium so I could do character's personal quests without accidentally making them love me lol

[@The_Rift]

Haha, nice!

[@keshawnZzz]

Awesome! ☺ i usually jus go in with store bought sword and shield and buy a ton of throwblast ... Oh & some heals such as kingwarsh & panacea for debilitations

[@polarbaloon]

This is a very good video, I have a feeling you were inspired by Ymfah The rules are literally "You are stranded on this island and no one will help you, good luck"

@@The_Rift For sure! Can cheese most fights aslong as you get the hits in XD cheesing undead dragons is fun

[@helenrowan5383]

This is epic! I'd be up for this challenge, I'll make a second profile on my PS3 just to do this. Lots of cursing and frustration will ensue because I'm pretty clumsy at times. It's great to know what to look for and how to take on this challenge, thank you for the tips! I found it hilarious how the Elder Ogre charged and the guy sidestepped then sidestepped again, and it went over the edge. Gravity is our friend, except for when I'm the one who pancakes due to a miscalculated jump, or when a creature helps me over the edge of a building or cliff. I like using gravity against the Living Armour in the underground city, just lure them up to the top of the cliff near the entrance and jump onto the building nearest. Takes off half their health, but takes a bit to get the timing right. Are we allowed Pawns for this challenge or is it a solo act? Also, great quality video, it was fun to watch!

[@The_Rift]

Hey cheers Helen! This was such a long time ago, glad you enjoyed this. If you ever try it out, let me know how it went alright.

[@helenrowan5383]

@@The_Rift I'm two thirds the way through, but I'm sort of bending the rules by having my main pawn and Rook tag along. It still feels like I'm bashing up against a brick wall until something gives, although I'm enjoying it. One of these days I'll attempt a solo run. I defeated the Gazer at level 33, and the Dark Bishop at level 74. I have yet to storm demon boi's castle. I have been playing by all the other rules apart from Rooks anodyne, he's useful like that, but sometimes I feel like I'm babysitting someone's little brother. I wanted to reply when I finished the quest, but it's taking a while. My main pawn is a fighter, he's a tank, he has more health then my maxed out character on my other profile! I'm playing as a female, does gender play a part in how many hit points you receive per level, or is it Vocation? I still feel a bit sheepish having a team, but at least this is good practice X'D Oh I wanted to add that it's getting easier as I go, I'm really enjoying this challenge, it's really thrilling when you defeat the big bosses when at a disadvantage, I am better at aiming throwblasts now thanks to this quest. Some enemies like Poisoned Undead and the Gold and Silver Knights I just run straight past, they give me too much grief. It's been great to test my skills using hard mode, and it's more realistic not using the HUD, makes me more observant. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@helenrowan5383]

@@The_Rift I did the challenge again, this time solo, I managed to finish the whole challenge in thirty two hours. It's such a rush to finish this without even needing curitives or help from pawns, I still love the company though. I died about fifteen times this run, but the last run I got killed over sixty times. I finished it about thirty minutes ago, my 1:45 am. Weirdly it was easier this time around, I could focus on getting away if things got too rough, when I have pawns on my team I make a fuss to keep them alive, I really don't like leving them behind. I loved this challenge, it got me thinking, taught me some new tricks on how to handle my character, I also learned a neat hack to stop the out of breath animation. I just un-equip my weapon then equip it again and that way I can walk away instead of being left vulnerable and open to attack. I also learned to roll in water if goblins set me ablaze. I tried the throwblast stripmining technique, that's a hoot, poor Bambi and friends got in the way though. I want to thank you again for the inspiration! I have never attempted such a radical challenge before, I really enjoyed it!
