Exclusive Arisen Vocations explained in Dragon’s Dogma 2
There is four exclusive Arisen vocations in Dragon’s Dogma 2, which means that these Vocations can not be used by a Pawn.
The exclusive Arisen vocations are:
- Magic Archer
- Mystical Spearhead
- Filou
- Warrior
Since these Vocations are exclusive to the Arisen, you should consider picking one up during the middle or later stages of Dragon’s Dogma 2 to ensure you can use their skills. Fortunately, your Pawns, especially your Main Pawn, will allow you to benefit from the abilities offered by the six non-exclusive Vocations.
How to Unlock Vocations in Dragon’s Dogma 2
Knowing how to unlock vocations in Dragon’s Dogma 2 allows you to experiment with different fighting styles and, whatever your vocation, benefit from the upgrades you eventually unlock. While four of the Vocations will be available from the start of the game, the other six will only be unlocked once you have fulfilled a specific condition.
Below is a quick overview of how to unlock each vocation, aside from the starting vocations in Dragon’s Dogma 2 (watch yourself spoilers):
- Warrior – Total frustration of vocation
- Wizard – Total frustration of vocation
- Filou – Talk to Luz in the Reverent Sanctuary (you may need to talk to her multiple times)
- Mystic Spear – Talk to Sigurd during Readveant of Calamity in Melve
- Magic Archer – Complete Put a spring in your step
- Warrior – Give Lamond three bottles of Newt liquor
Even after unlocking a vocation, you will still have to pay to learn a skill in a vocation guild if you want to change vocations in Dragon’s Dogma 2.
Remember: four of these vocations are exclusive to Occurred, which unfortunately means you can’t travel with a Trickster pawn. Still, it’s worth unlocking these vocations and playing with them. Not only are they more powerful than the starting Vocations, but you might also prefer the combat style they offer.
Good luck unlocking all the vocations in Dragon’s Dogma 2!
