I got ambushed by one when I was an archer, I think the whole fight lasted like 15 seconds. Multiple explosive shots to the eye tends to kill them quick So has anyone maxed trickster yet? I'm wondering if it gets better. Don't get me wrong, it's fun, but without the proper terrain I feel kinda useless.

Perhaps someone can answer a midgame question for me: I found a place called Frontier Shrine. Isn't this where the Sphinx is supposed to be? Big open area, five locked chests with glowy gems on them, pedestal in the middle to stand on. There's nothing and no one here. Is this not the correct location?

I went back to Melve and whoops! there was a dragon attack, and some guy who just randomly unlocked the Mystic spearman vocation?? Well whatever! I switched to it and it feels fun, even though I don't have any other skills than the basic ones yet.

I then played trickster to ten and have spent the most time on Trickster. EDIT: Mechanically I think it's actually very powerful, but it's a class that's limited in variety. Every build, I'm sure, will use the exact same 4 abilities. It's also pretty obtuse. George Sex - REAL fucked around with this message at 00:41 on Mar 27, 2024 |

I just finished leveling up Trickster and I think it is really powerful as long as you don't need to hit a certain part of an enemy or want to kill things as fast as possible. You can easily take all the agro and super charge your pawns and just let them wear down any enemies while you bounce your illusion around. I thought the ability to put your illusion on an enemy would be good, but it just results in it getting destoyed and you pulling all the agro. The AOE agro move you first get and the pawn buff are the only moves I needed and everything else felt too gimmicky. Not the most exciting way to play, but something about it was weirdly compelling.

Was traveling to the Volcanic Isle and pretty early on a couple of my pawns and a minotaur all go off a cliff together. For the rest of the fairly long and dangerous journey, I was left with only myself and drowmagewife, who does not remotely look anything like a drow but was at least a mage. I've gotta say, 2manning it through all of that was a lot more compelling than doing it with a full party. DD is at its best when you're struggling, but normally these games are easy enough that it doesn't tend to happen much. Definitely gonna do an arisen + main pawn only playthrough at some point, maybe with some increased difficulty mods as well. CharlestonJew posted:I have to say Archer shits out damage like nothing else but the actual playstyle is a little dull. Going to max out Fighter next and start slashin poo poo Archer and to a lesser extent Thief feel gutted by the split from Strider. Both would feel much more complete and fun if they had the ol' bow + dagger combo with 6 skills. I also really dislike how the new Deathly Arrow and Powder Charge work compared to the originals.

I decided to do a side quest instead of mainline stuff in Batthal which meant taking a circuitous route across half the region, through a bandit camp and a fairly large dungeon-ish area, multiple monster fights, and a big cave network. I ended up finding and completing a few side quests on the way and unlocking a vocation and its master skill. After I did the side quest I originally set out for I realized I forgot to put my port crystal down back in the capital city. I hoofed it back fighting more monsters all the way until a cyclops smacked my whole party into the brine. I killed the cyclops solo and then had to backtrack to the nearest riftstone, which was dedicated to meme/cosplay pawns. I got my main pawn back and hired Jack from Mass Effect and Grog Strongjaw from Vox Machina. Then we went back to the capital on the pulley system which I hadn't used up to that point. Probably the most distilled 4-5 hours of Dragon's Dogma I could ask for. Game owns. MeatwadIsGod fucked around with this message at 01:07 on Mar 27, 2024 |

Sloober, good call on heading southwest from Bakbattahl. I finally found a handful of Succubi. Unfortunately it was 10% Succubi and 90% garbage-tier Gore Harpies, so I only ended up getting 2 Spurious Wings, and I need 6 in total. Now to hunt down a Warg for his Pointed Fang.

Question about post-game/ending for those that have done it: (Edit: SPOILERS obviously)I missed out on one of the quests where one of the researchers asked me to meet him at the volcanic island, because I didn't know it was "timed", and the red mist ate that part of the map. Did I miss out on anything major there? The quest text said something about "subverting the will of fate" or something, IIRC.Ethiser posted:I just finished leveling up Trickster and I think it is really powerful as long as you don't need to hit a certain part of an enemy or want to kill things as fast as possible.

If you set up a pawn quest with a reward that you only have one of, does that mean the first person completing my quest gets it and no one else or does everyone who takes the pawn out get it?

I got the quest to go fight a griffin so the sculptor guy could look at it, but then randomly outside of Batahl I was attacked by a field griffin which I clung onto and it took me back to its nest where I killed it, before seeing on the map that yeah this is the one the guy wanted to visit. Ran down the hill and found him expecting a, "Sorry I already killed it," option but he just wanted to run in and the game obliged. I guess they were a mated pair?  Also are you screwed on Myrddin if you've already given all the tomes to his daughter or are there duplicates around? I guess I could've forged them - I already forged one to give to the woman in the nameless village but I wasn't expecting anyone else to want copies.

Why did he make the Vocation? Where do most people first find him? You need to kill that dragon he fought in Melve. It's in the forest to the southwest of the desert, at the Dragonsbreath Tower. Or at least I think that's where it was.

I've just been throwing pawns or using jump skills to weirdly climb my way places I shouldn't be.

I don't know if you can just use those ones or not but if you need to you can switch to offline mode then use the riftstone feature to find pawns with special names and you'll get the actual capcom one.

So uh, anybody knows how to let the skeleton lord or whatever open the door in the Ancestral Chamber? He's just bugging and running and shielding for me, but never attacking. He also have a poo poo load of health. e: Apparently, you can use the Trickster vocation to create an effigy and make the skeleton attack that from the other side?

Seems like a pretty massive area to me but I've also still left like 30% of Vermund unexplored probably. Idk how much story or side content there is but so far it's had some of my favorite exploration moments in the game. All these spoilered sphinx posts make me realize I should set aside time to find her. I'll assume the story you hear in the beggar quest is accurate as to roughly where she is.
