Really good tips here, folks

:-)

Several of these points are outdated from the console version and not relevant for the remastered title. 2.) Wrong. Regardless of old version or new. Fighters lack AoE abilities compared to other classes and die faster fighting a swarm of weak enemies compared to bigger targets. This is because the mobs will fan out to attack if they bunch up. Resulting in the Fighter getting surrounded and getting hit from behind. Where they cannot use their shield to guard from attacks. They're best served focusing on large enemies utilizing Scather (which also increases climbing speed). 3.)This is one of the outdated tips from the original game. They improved the ai a bit for the remaster. If your pawn has Utilitarian as a focus but lacks knowledge on mobs that are present. The system will now default their actions to the secondary inclination by temporarily making that the focus (this isn't displayed on the status window but confirmed by the devs prior to release). So there's no harm in having Utilitarian as a focus while first forging your way through the game with little or no knowledge. Especially since a pawn with Utilitarian focus but no knowledge will more quickly learn that knowledge if you rent a pawn with the knowledge that also has Utilitarian. 4.) Again, no. Challenger is horrible for Mages and Sorcs. It's rare that they will have good line of sight to ranged enemies to target and land their spells (especially multi-target lock-on spells as you'll accidentally tag melee enemies that are between you in the process instead of focusing the single caster or bowman). And Mages silence spell requires they be in close proximity to stop an enemy caster. Which will prompt them to run through the melee to do so...that's a big NOPE right there. They're best served as Mitigators so they can capitalize on their multi-target and AoE spells. Something to note, however. If you run either Mitigator or Utilitarian on a Mage. Do Not Give Them Frazil!! As they will run into melee to utilize it against enemies weak to Ice (or with Damp debuff). The AI doesn't snap-cast the cone attack and will walk slowly with the AoE pulse. This is meant to be used defensively to stack and achieve the freezing debuff when pressured by weak melee mobs. It does horrible damage for the stamina cost and running in to use it puts you at risk (or the pawn in this case). So you'll need to rely on Ice Affinity against mobs weak to ice as a Mage. 5.) There's no reason to stack that many potions. Anything more than five for the primary and four in secondary is a waste. As the effect diminishes for each successive potion used. It would be better to hold onto the additional potions and use them to reset your inclinations when they get out of hand again at a later time. As they'll have more effect then.

Thanks for providing this updated info, will definitely help people.

John, are you telling me a Mage would do a better job against a mob than a Fighter... who has no skills like Full Moon Slash to deal with them? They can't even block. These tips aren't outdated, because I applied them based on 60 hours for the recent release of Dragon's Dogma. They're still relevant, and I don't know where you got the idea that a Primary Utilitarian focuses on their lower inclinations when having little knowledge, but from my experience... the Pawns do almost nothing. As for Challenger for Mages, well... okay yeah, I may have been lucky. I'll also agree on the potions.

Harpies!

Direwolf!

Careful you aren't drenched!

If you need to travel, by the Nine Divines stay on the roads! It's the Daedra, you see..... shit wrong game

@@Teeheehee093 Lol, have you heard of the high elves?

I just bought it right now

@@kokalol You will have fun...I spent 250 hours in this game. Especially the magic is absolutely badass

@@maltimoto I'm playing it right now.

@@kokalol and you like it? for me i needed 10-20 hours because it starts off slow but then I got hooked on all the nice skills

I just started playing again, new play through. Haven't played in years and still so much to learn. Ifanyone is still playing we should swap followers so we can get rift crystals

I did that by accident too, laughed about it haha

Lol I just poke it with arrows from the level above until it jumps off the edge.

First time I encountered him, I got ready for a big fight, he charged, b lined and went over the edge. Easiest 10000 exp ever

Yo this happened to me at the mine. I was doing a quest to kill the 3 monsters and I climbed on one of them, it jumped off a platform but the height wasn't enough to even hurt it, and it just disappeared, I didn't get xp for it or any loot but it still counted as a kill for the quest

I was a ranger and the pawns never caused him to fall, so I had to kill him straight up with a bow. He’s a pain in the booty that way lemme tell ya.

garrus vakarian what does that do?

It’s an unlimited use ferrystone. Allows you to fast travel to port crystals without using up the item.

I watson .. I guess, you got it by now?

I wish I knew about this. I did so many escort missions before I found this damn thing

Wew and i was wasting money buying ferrystones

Yes! Sorry I put that ugly mask on her for the tip about giving Pawns gear haha

Thank you so much!

You can use my pawn if you want add me at cmattox77

+andrew nimmo super good tip early game, actually

Glad to hear they were helpful!

I know I'm late here but this game actually does have quite an interesting story. Were I you, I would watch a video that breaks down the story.

Good to hear, always stuff to learn, even with games I think I’m a pro at haha

@@AnamanaCh Oh wow thanks for responding so fast. Also i remembered some things possibly helpful if not a bit cryptic for players that i havnt seen talked about. Purify cursed novelties, sprinting takes alot of stamina and you may get a skill that cuts stamina drain while sprinting in half. Manually saving helps a lot. If you're stuck in the dark and scared, just turn the brightness all the way up ya silly goose! And dont run into the little girl be a good servant dude trust me.

It's an honour to be paired with Lemon haha. Thanks!

You can be the Salt, Anamana. Now we just need some Tequila!

+LemonEatingKow haha the holy trinity

UnbakedMango Jedi mind forever!!!!

Thanks so much, Muhammad. Appreciate it!

I just got it from the ps plus catalog

Thanks mate, means a lot!

Was looking for a new game to sink my teeth in to. Been watching lemons streams and your name keeps appearing. Between you both I think I’ll have all the advice I’ll need 👍👍👍

Same

Same😂

This was my first major video!

Brought here all the way from the Sunset Mountains!

sam nj thanks mate! I've got a few more single tips coming out soon. 😄

Thanks mate, I'm glad they've been helpful :D

Lol the first time I played the game on 360 i got to devilfire grove and started fighting the drake. I was doing virtually no damage to it even when hitting weak spots. Like man enemies in the game you dont have to kill it but i could not bring myself to give up so for hours i unleashed arrow after arrow on that baddie. So many good memories playing this game the first time through. Really hope they make a second one maybe with multiplayer

@@montgomeryfortenberry well i've got good news for you...

Got it for 4.79 on PSN just now! Can't wait to dive in.

@@patdzon for sho fam. It's Greta so far. Can't believe I didn't hear about this gem until now 🤠

Thank you! Appreciate the nice comment~

Anamanajewbee I'm gonna try and help get your name out. You deserve the support.

John Fadimiroye yeah! I'm a mod in his live chat. 😁

Do you mean LemonEatingKow?

+Uriel Septim yep, we shorten LEK to Kow also.

same.. i had it on my PS3 now i bought it today on steam

Unless you cheese it with throwblasts and reach level 50 by martyrs talisman usage

It's the only way you learn! Plus, it gives you a goal to work towards. When you get to that point, you feel badass!

Anamana! No doubt, can’t wait to get to that point. You can feel the progression in power as skills open up and gear improves. Very satisfying!

Lmao same I was at level 2 though

+Vennon Lacy it's amazing how fast you level there in early levels.

thank you after listening to this like really good guide to this game I now realize that I did one of the most dangerous things I could at the very beginning but I thought everyone went there. I am a roamer so exploring new places regardless of how difficult they are is like part of my job plus the location kept giving me different cure items that was stronger than anything that I could find so I would barely survive fights keep myself alive just to level up I will get new points and new abilities as a warrior enough to do some damage then I got lucky enough to get a very strong item really early and some good heavy armor and luckily my strong sword that I got was eventually Dragon forged. I can tell you now if I tried to do it again it most likely would not go so well I was extremely lucky special that have high-level Pawns

+Vennon Lacy man, me too. I hate not having a full map unlocked. And it's kind of exciting to go through rough content when you shouldn't be there.

Thank you!

Australian!

+neromite oh man, the combat is so good!

neromite same

I just started Dark Arisen last night, and even the Chimera fight was nothing short of extraordinary.

The combat/loot/class system have all kept me playing this game for nearly 7 years now.

+Nihil0.0 thanks, dude!

I believe so, yes. If you have no internet and go to the rift, all of those pawns are non-player pawns. So, if you pick up one of those pawns out in the world or if somehow you don't connect to the rift correctly, you'll sometimes get CPU pawns and won't be able to rate and so on.

I think it's those experiences that make the game. Those intense battles where you're struggling to keep everyone alive because you get too cocky or are just in over your head. Awesome story!

@@AnamanaCh *smiles* thank you! The closest feeling I ever had to this was playing LoZ BotW....but obviously any fight on That game fails to compare to the fights on Dragons Dogma. I just finished running away from that Stupid Tentacle monster after looking for help online....... lol. Anyway, anyway, thank you so much for the tips! I really appreciate it, sir!

You can upgrade with items being in the storage.

yea when you go to upgrade it automatically checks your storage also, so you don't need to lug stuff around

Yep, something people will get to if they dig the game eventually.

That face when you forgot to put one at the great wall encampment 🥲

Yep. Me. Third time around, but never played Arisen.

Me! First time playing this, great game!

Hope you’re all having a blast!

How does the game handle itself in portable mode?

The Traveler - it handles it really really well. I didn’t play the original but it’s my favourite game on the switch right now.

it just increases xp/dp/rc/gold gained. Drop rates are unaffected.

I can relate I don't particularly understand how it all works same with the witcher 3 skyrim is fine for some reason lol

I love it so much

The holy wave attack that travels forward us dope.
