How to Terraform | Dragon Quest Builders 2

[@stlim3589]

Thanks for this! I was feeling like even the large buildertopia islands aren’t that large, so this certainly helps!

[@stefan-ox8qs]

You can also make a square bleuprint it(3 in total if you want), and take some villagers with you. The will help with it so long there is earth in the chest.

If I want to destroy ground, I use crumbling sand from the stump and replace the ground with the trowel, takes mere seconds to reach the bottom most layer

[@jonridgley81]

Neat little trick I wish I knew before, thanks for providing some tips on this; now I know how to expand my buildertopia to make flat land for building thanks to you.

[@lukasgauvreau8344]

Lol seeing the missed shots with the golem really makes me wish they had a target like you get with the big bash attacks. Even if you just had to hold it for a second to see where your aiming

[@Arcane1985]

Ooh! Thx for the shoutout! ^^ Btw, you can also pour the lava with the buildnoculars if you want. A bit difficult to aim sometimes, but it works.

[@BenXC]

Yeah especially helpful if the water level is much higher. For the 1 block high water you don't really need it of course :)

[@DuoBeard]

I always enjoy watching your videos, DQB2 is still one of my favorite games

[@tikar8982]

Brilliant as always (I know this is an old video, but it's helping me out now lol)

[@CiaranFordStrongman]

I spent dozens of hours flattening the main island with my golem, literally building a city with roads, street lights, apartment blocks etc I'll have to make a video on it soon!

[@purpleninja567]

what tools do you need to terraform? i see he uses the transform trowel but don't exactly get anything else he's doing. I want to flatten the land but I don't feel like having to spend days flattening the land out bit by bit. I don't have anyone who can help me so I need something I can do by myself.

[@CiaranFordStrongman]

@@purpleninja567 I did all of that solo, I just hopped on a golem and punched the land away chunks at a time layer by layer while watching KZbin videos =P

[@purpleninja567]

@@CiaranFordStrongman so that's all there is to it then? just use the golem to flatten out the land and then use the transform trowel to change the ground and build the walls like he does? thanks for the information. maybe I can figure out a way to get the up high hills and stuff that's what is mainly taking the most time for me.

[@CiaranFordStrongman]

@@purpleninja567 pretty much yes! I worked my way from the top down to make sure there was always a way for the golem to smash blocks on the same level as it, hopping off the golem gave me a good double jump too, hope this helps!

[@purpleninja567]

@@CiaranFordStrongman it does trust me. I've used the golem before on high areas but can't seem to always get it quite right (especially on those small corners) so I end up with these big holes and have to use one of the flying birds to reach the areas.

[@prismdrone3475]

I remember you saying in a previous video, you can also use one of those blocks that break on walking on it to help terraform.

[@BenXC]

Oh yes those crumby clodstone or crumbly sand blocks that you can build on the treestump workstation will remove ground underneath you when you put them down with the transform-o-trowel, but it's more for a smaller scale.

[@cyrusziemer1190]

Hey man your my favorite KZbinr and I finally bet the game last night and I hope one day I get up to where you are. I hope you succeed and have millions of followers

[@BenXC]

Thank you very much Cyrus! :D just build all the time and you'll notice with each build you got better 😊 in the beginning I also started with square boxes as building

[@joshpatton757]

For pouring the lava, I actually have a pencil blueprint set that handles the spacing for me to save on the counting. It's just two blocks and the pre-measured gap between them.

[@Tent-Peg]

The grass trick. Amazing.

[@mv2666]

There are all kinds of things you can grow if you have plant growth turned on!! Ivy placed at the top of a wall in a cave will grow down and can sometimes grow vine and shine apples. Stalwort placed on a patch of limegrassy earth and left alone will eventually spawn a plumberry seedling. A cotton plant placed on grassy earth will randomly spawn a silver birch seedling and a freezia on snow will spawn cedar saplings! And if you've watched Ben's videos I'm sure you already know about the 5 flowers to spawn a fright bulb!

[@Tent-Peg]

@@mv2666 ive not watched them all. Cheers for pointing it out ill have to watch them too.

[@jamesgarcia2304]

Funny that we're almost the same, Zelda fan playing dragon quest builders 2, I tried turning the isle of awakening to hyrule aswell

[@stanknight9159]

Sure, every time you punch holes in the walls, everyone likes it. When I do it, I get an eviction notice :D.

Good stuff. Thanks for all the video guides.

[@shaymondezu8217]

I've been going through te explorer shores to find builders best that I want to recreate, but sometimes I come across someone who used dead trees, whitchgrass, cherry blossoms, tree branches, ivy's and you know what I mean in their builds and I'm wondering how they did that. I just completed the story and have yet to go to the buildertopia and the newest explorers shores. but I want to know how people use those items in their builds. will the gloves be upgraded after a certain amount of compleet tablet targets so you can pick up entire trees of something. If someone knows how this is done please tell me i'm as confused as Malroth was when you were forced to eat Lulu's food after the prison break.

[@BenXC]

You can get an endgame hammer called the "Ultimallet" this one will destroy all items in a way so you can pick them up like they are in the game. If you need help to acquire it I have a video about it somewhere. Just search for ultimallet :)

[@SharmClucas]

You eventually unlock a better hammer that has the ability to keep things in their original state, kind of like silk touch in Minecraft.

[@shaymondezu8217]

@@BenXC Thank you. That really helped. I'm going tot look for your video about the ultimallet. You are the best DQB KZbinr after all.

[@varyhurtful2720]

How do you get more than one buildertopia?

[@happy_kathi1231]

i want to know that too 😭🙏 please, can someone explain?

[@SharmClucas]

I've been doing a big build on a Laguna Perfuma island because I thought it would probably be big, it's mostly flat, I liked the flowers and it was fairly simple to get a square island generated which I needed for what I was going to do with it. How does that compare in terms of build height and depth and overall size?

[@BenXC]

Only know the building dimensions of a few. You can check by digging down or building up and counting the blocks. :)

[@SharmClucas]

@@BenXC Thanks! I was asking just in case you knew, no point in duplicating work. For anyone else who is curious, my Laguna Perfuma island is 30 below sea level, 65 above, and 389x418 wide, including the bits that stuck out randomly.

[@FloRiLLAZ]

Bei den golems wäre es echt nützlich, eine Markierung sehen zu können, wo sein Schlag auftreffen wird. Sozusagensagen eine Schlagradius Markierung. xD

This is great! Have you made a video on how to complete all the tablet targets? I’m struggling with some of them

[@BenXC]

Thank you! Not yet. Which targets you have problems with?

[@ebby268]

BenXC Hi, sorry I’m so late thanks for responding! I haven’t been able to complete the build a room somewhere down low target, breed some pets, build a room up high, build a room your residents like, recruit residents with different jobs and make lots of different tile types on your map

[@tybernexus]

Nice!

[@janepedersen6551]

Hey Ben.I’m looking at your video and your “talk” about digging down if you want to make a high building,but i’m not sure how to do a large building that is more than 1 blueprint,what is the easyest way for me to do it? And how do you get so many tiles,I saw that you had MANY,MANY earth tiles and all different kind,but you have so many? I hope you ones again can help me,if it was’nt for your videos,I would still be on the first chapter of the main store so THANKS👍👏🙏

[@Dimness57]

Another DQB2 video!!!

[@Farore_]

Hi ! at 12:25 how can you do this action to build? is it possible on nintendo switch? What is the button? Nice tutorial btw.

[@BenXC]

Hey Elora, thank you! :) You can unlock the tool called "Buildnoculars" by completing all 60 tablet targets and enable it then with a press on the right analog stick. And everything is possible on all consoles. The game versions are identical.

[@Quietlovingman]

Does the plant growth trick work on Furrowfield as well or just AOA and the buildertopias?

[@BenXC]

Should work on any island :)

[@lovecreatures129]

I love your videos have been a big help to me. But I have a question does all this unlock thru the game play or do I need to do something to unlock all the cooking and building stuff. I've never played a game like this and it sometimes feels like I'm missing out on a lot of extra things I could do or collect.

[@BenXC]

Thank you, I'm glad I could help :) you basically need to make sure to collect the mini medals, every 5 you acquire you unlock tools or a tool upgrade which makes your life a lot easier

[@JudgedMentalMusic]

Would it be easier to make blueprints and have the villagers build?

[@danielecapogrosso2277]

Hi Ben, i comment once again to ask you if you have any tips for a proper usage of the wheel-mill. thanks

[@BenXC]

Hey Daniele, the best usage I found yet was to use magnet blocks with it (it's in my ultimate magnet block guide somwhere in the middle). It's like a repeater.

[@x-hartletl4600]

That makes me want to make my city at the bottom with a huge castle wall stoping the ocean, a maybe a Colosal titan head over one wall

[@yoshi_.__8017]

Does the golem destroy more blocks than the bombs?

[@BenXC]

That's a good question 🤔 but at least it's cheaper. But don't know if it's faster..

[@Caden32105]

[@gameg_97]

[@HerzogZosa]

its a realy cool , helpfull video! _but_! Terraforming is not only making new landmasses. its also about flatting mountains. maybe you can show us a cool way to kill the mountain in the background? :3

[@BenXC]

Thank you! I'll see what I can do ;)

[@danielecapogrosso2277]

start smashing the top part of the mountain, then procede to a lower level (that is the new top of mountain). Golems will help.

[@BenXC]

@@danielecapogrosso2277not a bad idea, but there is an even easier way. I'll show it off soon :)

[@RavinBlackhart]

if you ever need infinite blocks you can build wood blocks from your infinite wood resource. whenever I'm collecting grass topped ground blocks from random maps I swap it for wood blocks with trowel. wish I knew a faster way to collect it. I wish I got the binoculars.

[@BenXC]

Yeah that's also a good idea :) I also have almost unlimited earth blocks on a different island (from destroying them with my golem). I guess that's why I used those ^^

[@jonridgley81]

True that

[@Melfice4]

Ahoi there, useing the lava to get a block layer straight on the water is a great idea. I've never thought about it. I used to expand in a one block layer above sea level, just to have a flat survace to build on, what made cellars and the irigation system for the farms a bit tricky^^ And I didn't hade the binoculars at first, 'cause I didn't knew what exactly they do (and I didn't wantet to complete all table targets -.-''). So it was a funny saturday evening, spending three hours puting down gras blocks. This was the time I leard how to use the switch controler with one hand :D PS: just caught my mind, wath happens if you poor out lava straight under water, or is it impossible to do so?

[@BenXC]

Yeah I can imagine that it was a bit tricky^^ and I also didn't really use the buildnoculars once I got them. I think I finally started usind them 1 month later 🙈 and unfortunately you can't pour lava underwater, only on the top layer of the water.

[@hbarudi]

Why not use iridescent island buildertopia? you can remove the lava with the pot since you carry it with the pot. You have much lower "sea level" on that island allowing you to build like the towers that naturally appear on it. Those towers can be taken down with the golem if you can get him to climb up to the top and mine them down.

[@BenXC]

But you'll always have an orange L.A.-like sky 😕

[@romanemp1985]

Have you ever tried destroying all of Isle of Awakening? I'm curious to find out how much of it can be destroyed. I'm going to save a file and give it a try.

is coping some parts of ground with blueprints to let people work for you a good idea? Other question: why do you terraform with a ground under sea level? like 8 block down the sea level

[@BenXC]

So your build height increases :) unfortunately I didn't understand your first question.

[@danielecapogrosso2277]

@@BenXC using blue prints to get some help from villagers is an alternative idea to terraform?

[@thereef9689]

Cool 😊

[@zxuiji]

You know the golem can 'fit' in one block wide holes right? Also I prefer to just use the pot for large bodies of water, just take a bundle of blocks to build straight up, use pot, dig back down, continue using pot, only bring the golem out after removing all water upto to non-buildable area, then do your walls

[@BenXC]

I don't quite understand, can you explain it a bit more in detail? You mean you get rid of all water with only the lava pot? But it only converts the top layer of a body of water into blocks.

[@zxuiji]

@@BenXC No, I ignore the lava altogether and just scoop up all the water via temporary tower blocks, remember you can place blocks directly beneath you when you jump

[@BenXC]

@@zxuiji ahh now I get it. This is what I did before I found this method. But I must say the newer one is a bit easier to do and more elegant.

[@zxuiji]

@@BenXC Eeh, when it comes to that I'm not fussed about elegancy, I fix that after I opened the area I want (by just using the hammer at the edges)

You don't need rice, it's just the highest. But just build a temporary village, I like to use doormats to make temporary rooms, farm, restaurant, bar and a couple Dracky stacks. Make sure you have some liquid metal Slimes and lots of humans to use the rooms and you will have no problem getting lots of hearts. The great thing about DQB2 is that it is such an open game you can play however you want and you don't need to do exactly what Ben does to get your own good results! Just have fun! ETA: and make sure everyone has a bed to sleep in. That's a great source of hearts as well.
