Update: Ogres are a loving nightmare as strider. Why do they even have so much health what the gently caress

Ogres? CLIMB ON ITS BACK AND STRIKE FROM ABOVE!  Wait until you meet an elder ogre.  Gildiss posted:In Dark Arisen the game throws portcrystals at you. That's probably because Capcom realized that most people playing DA have already been through the game once or twice and know what a pain in the rear end it is to walk from Gran Soren to the loving Bloodwater Beach twenty times. edit: The "post-game" on BBI is awesome. I killed a firedrake and a cursed dragon showed up to feed on its corpse. I even got some dragonforged stuff out of it. Mad Dragon fucked around with this message at 02:12 on May 3, 2014 |

"1. Start game, it imports the original DD save. 2. New Game 3. Confirm it. 4. New Game 5. Confirm it. (Dragon's Dogma import bonuses lost here)" Is it possible to get the bonuses back again later if you do this?

I believe if you delete the DA save data entirely, it should give you back the import bonuses.

Thistledown posted:I believe if you delete the DA save data entirely, it should give you back the import bonuses. This is correct. The import process doesn't do anything to the vanilla DD save, so if you remove the DA save from the system the game will try to reimport it when it goes to make a new one.

No but seriously what the gently caress is even up with ogres. The only way I was able to kill the one in the Everfall quest is because I got it to charge off of the edge and fall to its death. The ones in the mine are kicking the everloving poo poo out of me and it happens the same way every time: I get the ogre down to like 1/4th of its health, then it auto-tracks a dropkick into my face and kills me in one hit. I'm thinking of respeccing into a mage for this one quest just so I can kill the loving things easier.

Just pop it and bam invincibility for like 6 seconds.

The damage reduction is a huge help early game.

If you're a ranged class there's some narrow tunnels in the mines that the ogres can't get into and you can kill them from the door.

If you have one, try throwing a skull at it. Skulls inflict curse, which is a particularly nasty debuff.

I think you need to throw several skulls, until the "cursed" icon appears. In addition, use some of the other tools you probably have. Oil Arrows will make him susceptible to burning, if you have a mage who fire enchants your weapons. Blast Arrows into his face will stun him. This is especially useful when he is enraged. To reduce his HP quickly in the beginning, use Throwblasts or Dragon Spits. Climb on the Ogre's back and immediately jump off before he falls backwards. You'll have a few moments to throw a Bomb at his head, that's his weakpoint. When he rages, run like hell - do you have the Forward Roll core skill? Can your remaining pawns distract him? - and then Blast Arrow his face and let some warrior pawn do the rest.

You all give weird advice (except the skull throwing dude). Easiest way to kill ogres as a strider is to climb on his back, and then you've got like 3 seconds once he starts his back-flop to actually jump off. Either he focuses on your pawns and you swing with impunity, or he'll back-flop at you repeatedly and your pawns have free reign to do their things in addition to you getting a couple attacks off between each flop.

I have come up with a strategy in a few simple steps that seems to be working well: 1. Bring along some pawns that can imbue my bow with fire. 2. Nuke the big stupid faces of every ogre on the planet with infinite penta-shot arrows thanks to the nigh un-depletable stamina that comes with rogue characters. 3. Laugh at the stupid ogres and their stupid red monkey butts. gently caress you, ogres. gently caress you and your monkey butts.

Can someone explain gear duping to me like I'm a moron? I copy my save over to a memory stick, I grab the pawn I want to dupe the gear on, replace all of their gear with what I want my friend to have, send them back to their owner, switch back to my original save right? When I do it, the other goon just gets his pawn back with all of her original gear.

After seeing a couple of them but having them run away like little sissy girls before I could start really doing damage ( ), I finally had a griffin stick around for a fight at Hillfigure Knoll. Spent most of the fight pelting it with arrows while my two melee pawns jumped onto it every chance they got. Having a mage with fire affinity seemed to help a lot too.When it was almost dead it decided to hover just out of reach of the pawns' jumping ability. Too bad I have a double jump, motherfucker. I rode that bitch up into the sky and brought it crashing back down, screaming  This game fuckin owns Mr. Baps fucked around with this message at 06:08 on May 4, 2014 |

Do the badges of amity you get from the bandit leaders even do anything? All of the bandits in both areas still aggro on me outside of their specific hub areas, where they didn't even attack in the first place.

If you have Maul's in your inventory, Ophis will attack you on sight even if your party is entirely female. So nothing POSITIVE, at any rate. Honestly you should just turn them in for the notice board quests asking for them.

Each one makes one band hostile, so if you have them both, both will attack you. It really depends on where you want to go through safely, really.

To answer my own question, neither of them do anything. Only carrying Maul's keeps the ones in south Gransys hostile, and only carrying Ophis' keeps the ones around that area hostile. There is no way to make the bandits on the routes not attack you which is kind of annoying given that both bandit leaders say you have free pass through the area when you've got the medal. The bandits in the camps themselves never attack you anyway unless you attack them first. I've looked it up and it seems to all amount to rumors-from-that-kid-at-school and heresay but in practice it seems like all they're used for is the notice board quest where you turn them in for a reward.

The dudes are always there though, even with the badge. The people in either of the actual camps shouldn't be hostile unless you attack first (provided your group is all women for Ophis I guess).

Although I'm not entirely sure what you are asking. They keep their original gear even if you give them new stuff, they just get the new stuff too and the user can choose whether they want to keep the look you gave them or switch to the original one. And Exequy is actually pretty good against the ogres in the cave, if you happen to be a mage. Just don't attack them with anything so they don't notice you and cast Exequy on them...

I just saw that are two spreadsheets. I've added myself to the Dark Arisen spreadsheet. So a question about the Ur-Dragon, I was going to town on the offline version and got him down to two health bars and he just flew away. Is that supposed to happen? Like he dropped a bunch of scales and then just flew away. ChaoticGood posted:Generally playing around with save files causes all the sent items turn to rocks, so I'd advice against it...

Nahxela posted:Yeah, he's on a time limit of sorts. If you don't kill him in one go, you need to go rest one day before he comes back. I'm pretty sure you can run out and right back in again. I'll try it on the offline dragon and report back. edit: After he flew away (not five loving seconds after I used a veteran's periapt ), I ran back to the inn but didn't rest. When I zoned back in, three pawns were waiting for me. After they were dealt with, the ur-dragon came back.

So apparently the griffin I fought during the cipher quest was a fixed encounter at hillfigure knoll, judging by this sidequest I just got. Will it respawn eventually? I sure hope so, because being locked out of a sidequest because I killed something that attacked me during a main story quest would be wicked dumb. So dumb in fact that I've convinced myself that it has to respawn. Right?  Also, I decided to try out mystic knight and boy oh boy are the first few ranks of it yawn-inducing. I'm sure it'll get better, but for now I'm basically just a fighter with a glowing shield. Maybe I should be using a staff instead of a sword. What mystic knight skills in particular are worth looking forward to?

There are some cool unique skills, but, yeah, early Mystic Knight is pretty boring. The sky lunge thing is fun, though.

Eventually you'll be able to knock down and / or kill enemies with a well-timed block, as well as counter-sniping archers with magic when you block their arrows.

For instance, clearing the main story quest to kill a Griffon got me that noticeboard quest cleared as well. There ARE some exceptions to this rule, but they seem fairly uncommon. The only one that comes to mind off-hand is the one to kill the two ogres near the Abbey.

Instant Reset just puts your character back in the neutral position regardless of what you are doing or what has been done to you. If you get stunlocked, you can instant reset out of it, if you make a mistake and don't want to commit, instant reset. I'm not sure if getting knocked into the air is resetable but it's pretty great for getting out of bad situations. Or putting monsters into bad situations.
