Dragon’s Dogma 2 tips and tricks

Here are some Dragon’s Dogma 2 tips and tricks for your adventure as Arisen:

• Change vocation regularly – Not only will this give you the chance to experience the different fighting styles that Dragon’s Dogma 2 offers, but you will also be able to unlock new upgrades. Whatever your vocation, you can equip whatever augmentation you want – provided you’ve unlocked it of course – which is incredibly useful when creating your build. Don’t forget to do the same for your main pawn!
• Some vocations may be more useful for specific quests – If you’re stuck on a quest, ask yourself if changing your vocation will help you achieve your end goal. This could be because you need to defeat a monster weak to a certain vocation’s abilities or because it’s a period of stealth – an activity far more suited to a thief. Either way, don’t be afraid to change your vocation.
• Change your pawns regularly – Only your main pawn has the ability to level up, so it’s a good idea to regularly change your other two pawns. After all, you don’t want to find yourself facing a dragon alongside a level 3 pawn. Keep in mind that hiring a pawn above your current level will cost RC. You’ll also want to aim for a mix of vocations and specializations.
• Take into account the inclinations of the pawns – Also known as Natures, a pawn’s inclinations decide how it will act when traveling with the Arisen. There are four inclinations – Benevolent, Calm, Simple, Direct – and each has different attributes. One causes a pawn to collect items, while another sees it removing unnecessary items from its inventory. You might have a pawn ready for combat or another who is more ready to listen to you. It is important to ensure that a Pawn has a tilt suited to your play style, especially when it is your Main Pawn.
• Listen to what your pawns have to say – Pawns talk a lot (and I mean a lot), but some of their conversations can be very useful. Whether it’s pointing out a nearby chest or mentioning something that could lead to a quest, it’s a good idea to pay attention to their words. However, they will continue to produce nonsense.

• Always check a pawn’s inventory before replacing it – If you’re like me, then you’re going to fill your Pawn’s inventory with everything you don’t want to carry. This is very useful in the short term, but when it comes to changing your Pawns, it will take time to manage objects to be sure not to lose anything useful. You can also lose important items if a pawn dies…
• Certain food caries – A hearty meal may be enough after a difficult battle. (Though a piece of raw meat can work just as well.) Still, it’s important to remember that food can decay in Dragon’s Dogma 2, so even if you’re carrying a good supply of raw meat, it won’t take a long time. before it starts to rot.
• Pack a camping kit – Or have a Pawn carry it, as they can be quite heavy. Without a camping kit, you will not be able to use the many campsites scattered around the world. This means you won’t be able to use these spaces to sleep through the night or medicate, so it’s worth keeping one on hand. Remember: you can still be attacked at a campsite.
• Be careful when traveling at night – When darkness falls in Dragon’s Dogma 2, the terrors awaken. For this reason, you need to make sure you are prepared when traveling at night, otherwise you might find yourself on the wrong side of a ghost. The rewards you earn from defeating these nocturnal beasts can be very useful, however.

• Ox carts do not guarantee safety – Taking an ox cart may reduce your travel time, but it by no means means you will arrive at your destination in one piece. Ox carts are always at risk of being attacked by monsters, so make sure you’re ready to fight!
• Consider changing equipment – Classic RPG advice here, but it’s worth saying. From weapons to fancy hats, you’re going to be collecting a lot of gear in Dragon’s Dogma 2, and for this reason we recommend always checking the stats of any new item of clothing or weapons you collect. You never know: you might find a super powerful sword deep in the goblin’s lair.
• Keep an eye on your weight – Item management returns once again, but it’s for good reason. You don’t have the magical ability to carry anything and everything in Dragon’s Dogma 2, but you and your pawns all have a weight limit. Go beyond this limit and you will find that the movements become difficult. For this reason, it’s a good idea to keep an eye on what you’re carrying and whether you really need some of the items you’re keeping.
• Lost? Visit an Oracle – There’s a lot to do in Dragon’s Dogma 2 and it’s okay to get lost every once in a while. If this happens to you, search for an Oracle and pass them a hand with gold in exchange for a hint on the next step.

I hope you enjoy Dragon’s Dogma 2!
