Thundarr posted:I'm glad my pawn has like thirty comments total at almost level 100, lol. I guess a large dude in full armor just doesn't catch the eye as much. I think the problem there is that the percentage of players that are around level 100 or more is very small, and most of them are not actively playing anymore. The pool of people who would potentially hire your pawn is limited that way. It's why I've capped my pawn at level 65 for the time being. I suspect that even that might be a bit overleveled, as most people seem to be finishing their first playthrough in their 50s.

Yeah as i get close to finishing my ng+ run I'm tempted to start a brand new playthrough and cap myself to a low level, both for the challenge and also to try and have a low level pawn with as many badges as possible, to help lowbies who wanna hire her out for her expertise

Has anyone on PC using a save manager successfully loaded their old save and confirmed that people can still rent their pawn?

I brought Cliodhna's husband to the spring, she appeared and unlocked Magic Archer. I didn't realize I had to speak to her again to get the Maister spell. I've since trudged back to her house to talk to her, and she's there, but despite it being many days later she won't give me the spell. Am I just hosed for this playthrough?

Most maisters hand out the book based on affinity, so try giving her some flowers.

Endgame stuff - How quickly did y'all kill the colossus? I ended up jumping on it while it went under a bridge, then quickly took out all the spikes in it. Ended up finally killing it while it was in the lava fields. Probably could have killed it earlier but all the spikes were out and I wasn't sure where to stab it from there. Grabbed one of the mini-ballista near the lava fields to take it out but I'm wondering if I could have ended up sooner..

The Lone Badger posted:Corset on a male pawn might be kinda moldbreaking. Male Mage/Sorc pawns will often end up wearing stuff like this, since there's a good chance someone will end up with one of these being their best chest armor in the late-ish game: https://dragonsdogma2.wiki.fextralife.com/Ares+Morpho+Robe https://dragonsdogma2.wiki.fextralife.com/Stargazer%27s+Garb

Mordiceius posted:Endgame stuff - The first time, I didn't realize that Phaesus and the colossus were moving right then and there, so when the game was like "meet phaesus and give him the godsbane" I was like haha gently caress that I have other errands to do. So I ported to Harve to see if the dragon had respawned, and while I was fighting it I got the cutscene with the colossus destroying the bridge and the conversation between Raghnall and Phaesus, and was like, well poo poo guess I do have to do that anyway. So I ported over to Cliodhna's hut and started hoofing it. I caught up with the colossus about halfway between the volcano island encampment and the pawn camp, and killed it pretty quickly since 1 saggitate shower = 1 crystal destroyed e: Oh also, if you kill all the weak points while it's still in the ocean, you can actually find the crystals on the ocean floor in the postgame! That was neat--I figured there mgiht be a chance they disappeared but nope! Son of Thunderbeast fucked around with this message at 20:37 on Apr 22, 2024 |

The colossus is the most D&D-brained fight in the game because you can kill it too fast and the DM is like "actually it's still walking until I decide it's done"

Deified Data posted:The colossus is the most D&D-brained fight in the game because you can kill it too fast and the DM is like "actually it's still walking until I decide it's done" I feel like that happened to me. I was beating on all the spikes in its body and they were all dying fairly fast. The only spike remaining was in its right foot. I beat on that spike for more time than every other spike combined and it wouldn't break. Then, after it moved into the lava fields, that spike suddenly broke super easily.

The idea of a rando not only sweating it to earn a Partcrystal and duping it is absolutely hilarious. I choose to believe that this post is 100% legit.

The game itself encourages this type of trolling. Not long after release, there was a goon in here posting about how he had bought a Ferristone from the forger. I tend to notice pretty quickly when something is spelled incorrectly, so for once I think I have an advantage.

Same thing happened to me, just with a different spike. although what really made the whole event feel artificial to me was the complete lack of dialogue/acknowledgement of the colossus from any of the NPCs on the island afterward. Holy gently caress!!! A colossus is coming to gently caress poo poo up!!! We have to stop it and figure out what sent it-ok setpiece is over go home

Ok, I confirmed what was stated earlier about sphinx riddle stuff Yes, if you have all 240 tokens going into a NG+ cycle, it really does just spawn the finder's token directly behind you. Sadly, the Sphinx does not acknowledge that you are a lunatic, instead giving the standard speech for when you have not picked up a token yet in that playthrough.

He's selling it from the beginning, at least he did in my playthrough. I combined them myself, then forged a copy, then gave him the forgery. One of my hired pawns remarked that her own master hadn't thought to do that

Ok Trickster owns. Put up a decoy, throw smoke on a lovely enemy, throw a wall on your sorcerer to defend, get dragons to yell at people to stunlock them, then give your pawns drugs so they beat the poo poo out of anything

Switch to trickster and just hoof it there. Use your ghost to distract goblins and harpies on the way. Nobody will bother you and you will be in Volcanic Island in no time. Don't forget to drop porrcrystals along the way for easier use later.
