It’s obvious to me that the narrator has not played the game.

[@zeehero7280]

I think it's an AI, the way it says Arisen is all wrong. Also it's not THAT hard to make a cyclops bridge I got it entirely by accident.

[@shawnholloway9186]

@@zeehero7280 Good point. I can’t believe I forgot about AI🤦🏻‍♂️ I am in favor of replacing AI with SI (Simulated…) I think it would be less scary for old people.

5.) Dullahan hates healing magic. As a mage you can cast heal and tell all your pawns to come to you. He will follow as well and slowly lose health during combat. 7.) Garm will also go after raw meat. Don't forget to use combine and make dried foods as well. Once you enter the Unmoored World all your food in your storage will go bad since so much time has passed. When low on curatives having these as a back up may keep you in the world longer. Idk if its my Pawns abilities but you can also give Pawns Allheal Elixirs. Making them go back to full health preventing you from having to go to a Riftstone Shrine as well as keep reviving them. 10.) In the Unmoored World you can save everyone. Once everyone is at the Seafloor Shrine you can have you pawn visit the hot springs (plus grab the goodies on the roof outside) as well as loot places you couldn't reach when NPCs were around such as Gaols in Vernworth and Bakbattahl. Your pawn can even enter Vernworth Castle. It's like they are aware that the previous rules no longer. Bonus: 1.)At night in Bakbattahl you can buy Saurian Tails from a NPC with a gold mask in the area where all the colored dyes are for 2500 gold (5 each purchase) you can also keep buying them back to back. Making 99 saurian tails easier to have. They can also be combines with other items to make some very good curatives. 2.)You can also keep some keys that disappear when used to unlock certain doors by jumping and interrupting the cutscene, pause the game and gift the key to your pawn. 3.)Use deep bodies of water to your advantage during combat. You pick up smaller enemies and throw them into the water. Letting the Brine kill them for you. (You also still earn experience.) 4.) If you see slimes around other enemies. They will kill them for you as well. So far I have seem Goblins and Saurians lose to them and its crazy BC they are so easy to beat but even your pawns and the Arisen can lose to them if get too close.

this is one of my favorite all time videogames. after completing it i started a ng+ run where if i die, i have to start over on a new character of a different class. i got a few hours in and decided to come back later when the game isnt as fresh in my mind. im excited for my next adventure. its a beautiful game.

[@SuperRandomheroe]

If I have to hear the AI voiceover say the word "Errissen" again I'm going to have a fit.

[@pikaleaf8914]

I find that Dragon's Dogma 2 is far too easy to justify doing many of these tricks. I also find that harpy's have a limited travel distance from where they pick you up.

[@davejohn3600]

One trick I found is that in an early quest an elf named Glyndwr will ask for a bow. He will keep and use whatever bow you give him for the rest of that play through. You'll escort him a lot but I can't say for certain the better bow will still have the better stats but given the way this games works I'd say it's a safe bet it will. Armed NPCs can and will fight with you even against bosses like the dragon. The wizard in the Checkpoint rest town they say is seriously OP.

[@guideranx5824]

Nice! 💪 Plenty of stuff to be uncovered in this game!

[@AlmightyWel]

Lol I found out about #10 yesterday when I realized ulrika ,sara and , glyndwr were all following me from bakbattahl to the volcanic island camp all blushing 🤣

[@guideranx5824]

🤣🤣

[@SaberisloveSaberislife]

Haven't touched the game since beating it. Good time to go and check back for rewards.

[@guideranx5824]

Its always a good time to go back and play Dragon's Dogma 2 :)

[@SimpleSayre]

The armor from the thumbnail kinda looks like the herald armor from dark souls 3

[@DovahGirL]

The roles are reversed during boss battles if you’ve completed all your pawn badges. Your pawn will tell you and show you how to fight🤣

[@guideranx5824]

🤣🤣

[@SoloEcho]

On my 3rd playthrough and i didnt know the brothel gives you buff.

[@guideranx5824]

Haha yeah! Thanks for watching our video!

[@docdelta]

One guy I don’t see for a long time is Sigurd. Never occurred to me looking for him in the morgue.

[@guideranx5824]

Yeah I've seen others talk about Sigurd disappearing on them. Thanks for watching our video! :)

[@SlickDangler10]

I was hoping there was something new for me to learn but i knew all these unfortunately

[@guideranx5824]

D'oh! Thanks for taking the time to watch regardless!

[@janetwyning8661]

I had no idea what I was doing

[@DivineOassis]

Did u steal a salamander mask!?!?!? From who??

[@smokey_novanacho]

Queen Disa, you can find her in her chambers after completing the masquerade. Then, use Pilfer skill on her with the thief.

[@Justanobody8472]

Air-isen?

[@Sabbat7001]

Sounds like an AI

[@Justanobody8472]

@Sabbat7001 yea I figured. There's a reason no1 likes youtube anymore..

[@ombra711]

This is Ai created

[@eoghainroe3503]

These fools think this game is difficult lol!

[@Chef_nO-shiRt]

This game is not hard, no boss fights, and a lot of traveling on foot. Back to back, from one city to the next. It is really just an errand running game. Fast travel is something you have to pay for.

[@avekrso285]

AI CRINGE

[@phillipgeorge6690]

Voice sounds like AI 👎

[@harryproctor3046]

Great game but after new game plus, finding all seeker tokens without a guide. Doing all side quests. The game ia flat..repetative and eventually quite boring once you've done everything, it shallow/hollow.Lacking alot of stuff other games have and that has been standard open world stuff for years. Why why why so many escort & protect quests......this is one RpG that actually needs more loot and fetch quests as the random filler. It's got so much missing potential....great template/framework for an open world action rpg. But the stories is crap, there are no real main characters, and the aide quests are trash. The majority of the game is just exploring the world and combat, which is great.... bit itas half a game. I hope theres a DLC coming that will add more to the game. Enemy variety stinks, it's just the 1st game with extra saurian, goblin and harpy variants, loterally nothing else, new except for slime, wraiths and minotaurs, made to look and play better bit I They made it more action combat and less RpG, they've tried to go rockstar level open world (and missed, bear that in mind, gta V/rdr 2 out for years and they have so much more dynamic random events and content than this game. Spolier ...the lack of end game back to the worls to keep playing sucks. The timed true end game choice, change of the world is great....makes it feel like 2 games...but then its timed...rushed....and it just ends, you wanna keep playing? New game plus....that sucks, especialy if you trigger the end game mission without realising and cant back out/clear the rest of the game beforehand.😮 Ph and treasure chests full of rotten food, crappy potions, lame ingredients....that sucks. The amount of chests to find is great...buy they are full of crap. Like 2000 chests and only 50 have good loot/actually decent items. 😂 Also co-op play for main pawm is a must/silly missing thing along woth additional save/character slots. Scummy Capcom.

[@Weird-Will]

The only critique I have on it is that it could use a rank+ system. The stuff you mention really doesn’t phase me. I bought it for the repetitiveness 😂. Times are hard, people are strapped and this is one of the games I’d rather have in my collection than a one-and-done that’ll keep the fomo alive for the next reskinned title.

[@Clintdaddy412]

It's a game not a neverending well of Easter eggs idk exactly what you're trying to gripe about.

[@smokey_novanacho]

​@@Weird-Will It's worse than the first in many ways, but I will give it one thing. The pawns are not as dumb as before.

[@Weird-Will]

@@smokey_novanacho that’s cool, man. I’m just not seeing it, but I’m also not really pitting it to anything or care enough to do so.

[@wonderchild3879]

yeah its pretty clear it was released in an unfinished state, probably because the team wasnt given enough budget or manpower, apparently it was around half of the staff they had for the base game
