Some grappling tricks! If you grab an enemy and sprint into a wall while holding them, youll body slam them into the wall and knock them prone, letting a melee class get a followup critical attack. In addition, if you hold the grab button in midair, youll pounce on an enemy and hold them down. This allows you to hold them down for your pawns and punch them on the ground. (Remember that the enemy still has to be stunned in order to pounce on them) These are just some things i stumbled on on my own, so there could be tons of other little things you can do with the grab. Try things out for yourself! If anyone has any more details, please let me know.

[@VxHokage007]

this sounds ridiculously fun lmao

Ala monster hunter rise?!

[@adriennefyrestorme]

just a tip for those that get lost in the woods at night, to avoid getting attacked find a bush for you and your party and turn your lamp off, if you can see and wish to still travel at night keep your lights off, most enemies wont notice you except for wolves, b ut even wolves are easier to to kill or get away from in the dark😁

[@DustinLittlefield]

For anybody who played dragons dogma one this is an extreme upgrade. The UI will take time to get used to. It doesn’t seem as simple as the first one but once you get used to it it’s easier. Also you can’t just pause and press select to save now you have to pause, go into system and then click saving continue.

[@TremFeighery]

Hired pawns aren't lost. I had one fall into deep water, when trying to show me where a chest was, i was easily able to find him under previously hired pawns at a stone. Loving the game, especially when pawns can lead the way in quests or finding chests. 😊

[@GooseGaming999]

Bro I had one fall into the water too we were destroying that little lizard/crocodile nest by melve and chick just fell in 😂

[@Twinfalcon31]

Yeah once I had an experienced pawn that knew about the mission i was doing and the fastest way to get there I was like dam thats so cool

[@Spida37]

Although its not great when u have an awesome fighter pawn who burst strikes a saurian into a river and gets taken by the brine and then when u go to the previously hired you see that its owner has been monstering through the game and now u cant afford the awesome pawn.... 😔

[@belatorius3442]

The quick potions tip is a good one

[@ObeyCamp]

You don't need to walk to recover stamina. It will recover while you jog also. You just can't sprint or it won't refill.

[@ts25679]

If they make a third game it would be cool if the had a quest to find a solution to the brine, if they add swimming or walking in chest high water that is.

[@richardembree1848]

fyi for thieves, triangle or Y attack isn’t just for knocked down units, getting behind an enemy and using that attack will trigger ur stab animations to finish off units, it’s really good for cutting off tails of the enemies that have them. It’s also used in combo swings

[@GungagaMan]

My main problem is the no new game option like full on restart option. Bring that in and fix the pc performance then it will improve a lot. Game is a lot of and the microtransactions are optional and dont impead progress but they can make things easier when you just want to buy the higher level pawns to get through the game. You can change your appearance in game through a vendor. No need to buy the book for 2 dollars.

[@aeonbloodmoon]

Question about the quick access potions and stamina… can you hot key other items there? If so how do I do it on console? I thought I tried everything

[@BEMDJ-ur2lh]

you ever found out?

[@aeonbloodmoon]

@@BEMDJ-ur2lh yea so basically it automatically restocks it with the supplies in your inventory. So just craft a bunch of stuff that you wanna use and put the rest in storage and it should auto equip it for ya! Works for healing and stamina only tho. Not other items.

[@jeze2432]

Loving the game so far. Does the MTX hurt the game? YES. Does affect your single player experience? NO. It's way blown out of proportion at this point

[@CadaverSwag]

A video with tips on how to deal with constant pc crashing would be great. I have a Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 and I keep lowering the graphics settings in-game. This helped, but my game still keeps sometimes crashing at random in-game.

[@ThreshtheWeebWarden]

Game is unoptimized right now. People with 4090s are forced to dumb down resolution for a game that doesn’t even have super hyper graphics quality, so we either pray for an optimization patch or have to play the game where most of the screen is downright blurry and pixelated. Rtx3060 with a 12thgen i9 and have to play on dlss super performance with everything off or low and barely reaching stable 60, actually starts getting choppy when on high ground looking over the scenery. Reached the first major city vermund and gets choppy in certain areas but everywhere else 40-50 fps is bearable for me. If i had speed ran the first 2 hours of my playtime to reach vermund to confirm performance i would’ve refunded the game and wait out patches, but i was too high on copium and put too much trust on capcom DESPITE everyone else bitching and complaining about the fps. Should’ve never listened to people (mostly on reddit) saying the fps isn’t that bad even though there were so many red flags even before launch. Just wanted to complain sorry haha

[@MyBodyIsReggie1]

Capcom already made an official statement about fixing bugs and performance

[@JJBCrimsonKnight]

Best I can say is make sure your graphics and OS drives are up to date and limit apps using up RAM and CPU. Also, ignore anyone telling you to lower graphics settings. This game is CPU heavy, not GPU.

[@luisenrique7415]

Tip #1 Buy it on PS5 😂

[@CatManDoom84]

@@ThreshtheWeebWardenErmmm i have a 4080/i9-13900kf and im playing at 1440p max setting with raytracing and dlss on quality and i get a steady 120fps in the wilderness and 70-90fps in the capitol city. Not comparing my rig to yours obviously. Just remarking on your comment about 4090 users having to lower resolution. Its the CPU that makes or breaks the game at this point in time, not so much the GPU. And capcom says they are working on it. Patches will improve performance, but its a shame ppl are missing out/having less than ideal performance issues right now. Is anyone surprised though (sadly)?

[@Omega_Sigma]

So if your hired pawns die with items you give it, do those items get deleted?

[@iianmitchelldub]

Also curious

[@TheRealEraser]

no they automatically go into your storage, which means weight is never a problem. simply give a pawn all your items then dismiss or kill them. however any equipment you give them to wear will be sent to the pawn's owner.

[@rahmellbrown162]

So I played rise of ronin, which is awesome regardless of reviews, I’m having fun with it. (I recommend you try it for yourself). So I played for about an hour and a half last night.

I can't use the Up button on the D pad to take anything items to increase my health and in the menu, when I want to take an item, the word Use is grayed out. This has happened to a lot of people. This game may just not be for me, both 1 & 2 are always frustrating to play

[@thelolodude857]

Your health might just be full, so the game doesn't let you use the items. The grey portion of the bar can't be filled with items, only by resting at an inn or a camp

[@TWHISPERER]

@@thelolodude857 I came across a video, or comments on YT, that said that it is a glitch for some players, but the thing to do then is to just restart the game, which I did, and I haven't had any problems since then. Thanks though bud.

[@snakekingblues3017]

How capable are the A.i partners?

[@TheSkewedReality]

Very. If they know they'll tell you enemy weaknesses. Sometimes show you hidden things nearby or gather items for you. In combat they are fairly faithful to their temperment. I don't remember them all but a kind-hearted pawn will be more support focused and stay near you while a straight forward pawn will rush in

[@Forest762]

How exactly do i dodge? I hit an enemy and the nearby enemys just kill me. Im stuck in the tutorial thing where you fight the first goblins (Might be skill issue but in most hard games im good).

[@MIG95374]

Block with shield if warrior. Wizard and archer you should keep your distance.

[@Yawar25]

You can only dodge with the thief. The Warrior have a similar effect with his tackle, no I frames, but with super armor. The Fighter only relies on his shield, but with the correct build, a better shield and doing parries, you can block anything

[@Klondike877]

I would say fighter is not that perfect for beginner, its more like its good if you are aware that using the shield is not just a convenience. Most ppl change vocation and dont know how to use a fighter correctly. I would say in the contrary, Thief is the perfect beginner vocation as its basically, click click click, you dont need much skillset to pull off anyting and if you swarm the button fast, then you are good... thats like the most boring class and hyper hype from the community and I dont really understand it because its a boring vocation and not that strong... ok may be if you have Heavens Keys... but nontheless, easy to dodge and kill ennemies without much efforts or tactical use of skills. Its also the only vocation that let you get the maester ability from the main campain... the other one are based of your afinity with NPC and things you need to do in order to get them... the thief one is linked to the story.
