I like the song that plays when you are escaping the blighted manse. I wish I knew the name of the track though.

Zurai posted:That's actually the hard way. The easy way is to just climb up his back to his shoulder blades. He'll reach back to grab you but just grab his helmet instead. There's no timing or luck involved with this method. I've only seen this work once in post-game. Because every other cyclops in the game was permanently lightning stunlocked from the moment it appeared until the moment it died.

applebane posted:that spell and also maelstorm just are so much fun to use. Standing just outside of aggro range to a bunch of goblins or whatever and just cast maelstorm into the middle of them; I love watching them trying to run and still getting sucked up and shot out the top of the tornado. Maelstrom is pretty good, but it has the negative side effect of making you blind. You the player, not your character. Never give pawns maelstrom. Zurai posted:That's actually the hard way.

Perhaps, but it's far more  to jump to avoid his hand, then latch back on to his face and give him a Hundred Kisses.Agean90 posted:Clearly they should have had Dangan do the whole soundtrack The band that does the intro song is named B'z. The full name of the song is Into Free - Dangan (translator's note: dangan means bullet). Ara posted:I've only seen this work once in post-game.

They don't let you remove the helmet which means killing the cyclops takes so much longer.

The first time I experienced Bolide was the other day. I'm a Mystic Knight hanging on a Hydra and chopping at the goat head. All of a sudden it said quest completed (survive the ambush) and the thing was dead and meteors kept hitting it's corpse. I swear it had at least a full bar of health and then gone  . Thanks Some-Redhead!

Just beat Daimon for the second time. I think I am done with Bitterblack for a while. Now it is time to go be hideously overpowered for the main quest and post game. Also, the Fallen City area can go gently caress right off. I ran through the last few rooms

When that first meteor hit like an artillery shell from God and sending bandits flying everywhere, the biggest smile spread on my face. So satisfying. Yeah, this is the first action game to get magic right. It's so awesome to see final fantasy-style awesome visuals, but real-time.

I started laughing so hard after casting Bolide for the first time that I seriously couldn't breathe. I always, always, always play magic-using classes in any game that lets me and this game basically perfectly nailed exactly why. Hell, I don't know if I've seen such satisfying magic effects in a game ever before.

When I first started Dragon's Dogma I thought playing a magic vocation would be "missing the point," since the melee was so fun. But I'm honestly impressed at how fun Capcom managed to make magic and archery, too.

One thing I'd like if they'd add in a sequel is some quick melee magic. That cast times are long makes a pack of small and quick enemies really tough to kill, so it'd be nice if they added a spell like Brontide but not poo poo.

Are there any video guides to making a run for the +DCP ring over in BBI? I've never completed the content but that ring seems super useful.

Aurain posted:Are there any video guides to making a run for the +DCP ring over in BBI? I wasn't able to find anything more detailed than Genocyber's info, but the DD wiki has great maps. Starting from Bitterblack Isle, head to Garden of Ignominy, then Duskmoon Tower. Go downstairs and to the east into the Ward of Regret and make your way to Midnight Helix. This is the hardest part, IMO - you've got to make it up to the top of the tower while dodging Gargoyles and fireballs. I seemed to get lucky and the Gargoyles didn't bother me except when I was on the side platforms, but keep an eye out. At the top is the Void Key. Go back to Duskmoon Tower, and the north door downstairs can now be opened w/the key. This leads to Vault of Defiled Truth. Sprint through there to the Gutter of Misery, then to Warrior's Respite. In there you'll find the Moonbeam Gem, which you need for the door to the ring's chest. Grab it, head back to Duskmoon Tower, head downstairs yet again, and the door you want to open is this one.

Picked the game back up since they put the whole big pile up for free(-ish, if you have PS+ anyway). Been spending all my time making my pawn the best pawn she can be. Her name is Wren, she's a Level 103 Mage pawn with 100% immunity to every status effect except 50~95% on the atk/def/mag/magdef downs and no wet/oil. She also has a passive regen aura. Spells: High Comestion/High Frigor/High Levin/High Anodyne/High Halidom/Holy Affinity My PSN is "R7-PS" if you want to take her on adventures.

So I just -actually- beat the game. What a disappointing boss fight. What a strangely satifying ending. Except for the fact that nothing explains how Gran Soren got patched up like nothing ever happened. Also kind of weirded out that my love interest suddenly changed for the final cutscene from who it was at the Dragon Fight. I'm still kind of disappointed that 90% of the game amounted to padding, but the rest of the game was so enjoyable that I managed to overlook it without much thought.

Well since you're now God, I don't think it'd difficult to just magically fix Gran Soren. Also yeah that happens if you reach max affinity with someone else/talk to someone else you have max affinity with before finishing the game.

Head Hit Keyboard posted:That makes no sense. It changed from Valmiro to Aelinore. Aelinore's rescue from the Blighted Manse was the last thing I did before fighting the Dragon and after that, by that point both of them had vanished from the game as result of their quests, so I couldn't have talked to Aelinore between the fight with the Dragon and the fight with the Seneschal. You can either talk to a character who you have max affinity with before fighting the dragon to choose them as your interest or raise a character's affinity to maximum. Both ways should work but you all know the Arisen's one true love is Feste.

I am sorry I didn't catch the name, but whoever re-outfitted my pawn with new weapons/armour thank you very much! By the time I realized all you sent back, I had already closed the info screen so I didn't get to look at the name.

I actually managed to do it at level 11 with a bit of luck and patience. Just make sure you have a decent supply of health/stamina curatives going in, and make sure to gather a crapload at duskmoon tower, as there are a ton of herbs and rabbits and stuff with no enemies to bug you. You can stock up well there for the bitch that is midnight helix. Man, getting down was tricky. I just fell down bridge to bridge until I hit the floor, chugging curatives the whole time. Pretty nerve wracking. But now I have an awesome ring that gets me mad discipline so, worth it. This will definitely help level vocations without leveling my character, so it'll be that much easier to get the stat growth I want, if I decide to care about that.

I still don't fully "get" DP but that ring really is amazing for quick vocation ranks. On one run from Gran Soren back to Cassardis got me from 1-5 in Warrior just by cow tipping and goblin bashing, which came in handy for not leveling since I'm trying to be magey/shooty.
