Fun fact; when you take lethal damage you can eat a healing item in the split second before the death screen pops up, allowing you to simply stand back up without using a wakestone.

[@zzodysseuszz]

It’s nowhere near as easy as you’re making it sound. You need to spam it as soon as your health decreases. Not before the game over screen. Edit: it’s literally not possible to heal before the game over screen, you need to heal before the damage has registered right at the instant your health decreases.

[@chaosryans]

Yeah it's a little bit of a timing thing. When I first did it, i could get the heal, but sometimes it wouldn't work.

[@kweeh3110]

Be mindful that this doesn't work against lethal fall damage.

[@AngryPlayerGaming]

@@zzodysseuszz it is that easy, you can just pause the game and use an item from the menu.

Another OP Way to Farm experience: Use Warfarer vocation Equip a Magical Bow, the Medusa Bow and the Ricochet Skill from the Magic Archer Go into a Cave, cast the Ricochet skill and switch direct to the Medusa bow. The Ricochet will probably kill everything in the cave and you will get the XP bonus from the bow. A good spot for example are the Digger's Rune south of Bakbattahl. A lot of Goblins and a Minotaur Boss.

[@RecliningWhale]

Can confirm, the shield is broken as hell. It consumes such a low amount of stamina that it can effectively stay up forever, and it allows your pawns to kill everything without being interrupted. Its so strong I had to stop using it because it was making the game trivial.

[@Sadicious]

Try Warfarer (Mystic + Magik Archer + Sorcerer) Mystic gives you melee, team invulnerability (skill 1), and downed boss crit attack, and a ranged stun/teleport/auto-crit. Sorcerer gives you Float, Stamina Regen, and "the nuke skill" Augural Flare (Skill 2) that pairs with the other two classes here. Magik Archer gives you all the ranged damage you could ever need with Sagittate Downpour (skill 3) or regular attack for the "I don't want them to die too fast." You can now handle any situation. There are other combos that also make you toddlike in entirely different ways. By design I expect. May Todd Be With You.

[@Halocrazyman07]

Augural Flare + Skull Splitter, if you haven't already tried this on Warfarer, please my fellow brother in broken gaming. Everything just dies immediately and if it doesn't, perma stagger

Hey Spiff, if you throw a pig at your pawns they will catch it and THROW IT BACK! Endless entertainment, one archer pawn played catch back and forth with me whilst making witty remarks and then threw it back and shot it while I was holding it! Very cheeky indeed.

[@leafgreenbeast]

the "infinite money exploit" doesnt really sound like an exploit, it just sounds like you're being a merchant.

Yeah it isnt an exploit, it is intentional game design. NPCs will even tell you different items sell for different amounts in different locations based on the needs of the people in the area.

[@Astrenar]

I know the game has been out awhile, but if you play again try this strategy I found: there is a truly cheesey endgame build that you can play with the perfectly balanced warfarer class. Warfarer lets you equip any weapon for any class, and any skill from any class except for the maestro skills like formless feint. Don't worry, you will kill enemies so unbelievably quickly that you won't even need to dodge. You're still limited to equipping four skills, but really you only need two. First, get high thundermine from sorcerer. What this does it stick a ball of lighting to your target that explodes after a little while, dealing more damage based on how much it's hit. Secondly, get skull splitter from thief which causes your character to summersault extremely fast and hit a bunch of times. Your third skill could be the one that swaps your weapons for you, but you can menu to do that, so just pick whatever you feel like for skills 3 and 4. I like taking masterful kill from thief as a way to dodge (and counter) most attacks. All you have to do is slap the mine on the boss, their weakspot if you can, then rip into it with skull splitter until it explodes. Skull splitter already does insane dps, but whatever damage you do is magnified extremely by the mine, killing any enemy in a matter of seconds. You can get even crazier by setting your pawn as a sorcerer with high thundermine ONLY so they spam the spell for you. The more pawns with that setup, the better. Get three of them and it's consistent enough to go back to thief as your class and get formless feint back!

[@natetwehues2428]

Reminds me of the Vlad Taltos book series where teleportation magic is starting to become common in a fantasy setting. The protagonist uses it for adventures, but the big impact it's making on the setting is economical.

[@stevenqu3]

Spiff. that's not an infinite money exploit. That's literally just running an import/export business.

[@boltfantasticated9705]

The issue with the infinite money exploit is the amount of loading you have to do. The main exploity part is the instant teleport, you wouldn't be able to get from Melve to BakBattahl before the fruit rotted so you teleport to make up the difference. You need Ferrystones to do this which cost 8,000-10,000 gold each time you buy one, and every merchant only sells one so you have to wait for the store to restock before you can buy it again. SO, in order to do this you need enough ferrystones to begin with (2 is the bare minimum which is already 20k gold), two portcrystals which can take about 30 to an hour to get if you know where to go, and time. So you buy the ferrystones and apples, wait in the chair the opposite side of the store for them to ripen (takes 4-5 sit downs and you have to wait a second for the game to load the time change each time) buy a new set of fresh apples which should have restocked by now, buy those, store the ripe apples, and repeat for about 1-2 hours. The stores don't have a lot of apples to sell at once. You do this to get 400 ripe apples and then teleport to BakBattahl. Luckily one of the inns lets you take items from your storage so the sell part of the process is significantly faster, BUT you still have to take as much of the fruit as you can carry, go to the shop, sell them, go back because there's a storage limit (this part may not be true I did not personally collect a 400 apples like Spiff did), and repeat that sprint back and force for another 5 minutes. This is an exploit for sure but the time it really takes to get going you could've gotten 120k just questing and playing, so definitely a NG+ kind of thing and probably more fun (as a person who likes DD2, this is debatable) to just play the game normal.

[@GuacJohnson]

theres a ring that makes it so you cant catch fire: combined with warfarer stam reduction augment you can just make constant explosions at no danger to yourself, without the stam drain from formless, and combined with Mystic Spearknight if you want a skill to also make you and your pawns invincible if you need it instead of formless (makes the game way way too easy but some of the bosses in unmoored are strong af if you don't use the invincibility)

[@DeathKhan]

You can double up on the money-making scheme, too. Battahl has figs and quince(quinces?) that sell for extra up in Vermund, so you can pick those up while in Bakbattahl, ripen them, then sell them while you're restocking your apple and grape stock while back in Vermund. No wasted trips!

[@alpha00zero]

The thing with Formless Feint is that if you don't realize that Blades of Pyre is a mock-up Maister Skill and that you were being played for a fool by the villagers, you would never get Formless Feint. Dragon's Dogma is very much a game you want to break. If any update/expansion to DD2 is made similarly to DD1's Dark Arisen, you'll want to be as broken as possible. Bitterblack Isle philosophy was very much "your bullshit vs their bullshit". it is legit made almost like a Spiff Certified Exploit Sandbox and besides potential tweaks, I don't think we'll see major nerfs at all because Itsuno is a madman and would rather the player have their own fun.

[@princesszelda8577]

Mr. Spiffing Brit, I am pleased to inform you that for the low low price of 1 skill (and some loss in stats) slot you can in fact combine your glorious Damage per second with your excellent exp gains by unlocking the warfarer class. It's master skill (unlocked upon class gain) allows you to swap between weapons and equip any armor set. The only drawback is you effectively only have 3 skill slots with every skill you know to choose from and that in order to use said skills you must have the corresponding class weapon equipped. Have fun with this information. Thank you for this gem of a video. Have a good day Trace Oran

The most broken combo though is: - Unlock Sorcerer, Magick Archer and Warfarer - Play as Warfarer - Learn Sorcerer's Augural Flare - Learn Magick Archer's Sagittate Avalanche - Cast Augural Flare - Spam normal shots and Sagittate Avalanche - Melt bosses in seconds And if you want kill the Medusa very fast to get her Preserved Head and easy EXP, you also need Warfarer and Magick Archer: - Learn Magick Archer's Soporific Bolt - Use Soporific Bolt on the Medusa (it might take between 2 to 4 shots) - Once she falls asleep, swap to any weapon that deals slash damage - Attack her head, which will instantly decapitate her

I love that Strider was so OP it got split into two classes for the second game, and one of it's splintered halves manages to be arguably just as OP.

[@jasonblalock4429]

You know, I kinda wish they don't patch these things out. This is my favorite type of broken game, where people who want to play the game properly can simply avoid the exploits and get the challenge they crave, while other people who enjoy breaking/cheesing systems can have plenty of fun too.

I'm just glad there's a game out there for a sneaky magic thief archer.

[@lunarshadow5584]

If you can gain the exp bonus from your companions using the bow, then it would be extra broken by having multiple companions wield the bow, firing from a distance while you keep dodging the enemies attacks that are aggroed on you before letting your ally archer get the final hit.

"Game of attrition" Spiff has discovered tank gameplay as a rogue, what a perfectly balanced game.

[@lordwhite0]

As soon as i see you've uploaded something, i get a cup of tea ready. Your videos make my day, thank you 😊

[@Ancient1341]

dont forget the xp boost from the sphinx ring, and the master ability for the mage generates a field where you have basically infinite stamina.

[@DnozM]

I love when a game is balanced

He was bound to become a stealth archer, had Tod Howard in the party

You did amazing videos on civ 6 and now you make a video on my fav game, the best of the best. Thank you sir spiffing brit (I bought Yorkshire tea I should have it soon can't wait to try it)

[@sealish6163]

My wife watched one of his videos with me years ago and we decided to buy Yorkshire Gold cause why not. It has been her go-to black tea ever since (and she doesn't really watch these, she just really liked the tea). I hope you enjoy it too.

The real cheese is playing one of the two bow classes and just spamming arrows into the head of enemies. Drags the healthbar down real quick and effective.

I’m pretty sure the fruit selling for more is an intended mechanic. If you take any fruit from one region to another one further away, it’ll sell for more. So if you want to maximize profits, when you sell your apples and grapes in Bakbathal, buy some figs and quince and take it back to Melve to sell there. Plus, you gotta factor in that every teleport effectively costs you 10,000g; so 20k round trip. That really eats into your profits, and because of that I don’t really foresee them patching this “exploit.”

[@Poisonjam7]

But they’re absolutely going to nerf Formless Faint. That ability is absolutely broken in its current state. Really, it’s broken on a fundamental level. My guess would be they’re either going to add a cooldown or duration limit, drastically increase the stamina drain when active, or make it so it only has a CHANCE of avoiding attacks, or possibly even all of the above. Either way, Formless Faint is screwed. 😅

[@inscrutablemungus4143]

"This is the first game I've played where you can throw a pig at another pig" Spiff, are you sure there isn't a Skyrim mod for that?

[@XDrippingxXBlood]

Exactly. The mod let’s you not the game.

[@1Grainer1]

damn, i love that 8min+ editing, it has a wierd documenatry? National Geographic? something like that vibe, i can't quite put my finger on it, but it sure was entertaining format

[@kelvinvaldes8647]

What I did to break the game was basically finish the first area and then explored the whole map before any major changes occurred

[@spac3dout320]

I think formless feint+ pyre is a fully intended combo, DD2 is chock full of absurdly strong skills and interactions, honestly every vocation is pretty op and fun
