this game needs multiple saves

Greetings Arisen from the year 2019 xd your guide still helps people

You may have published this over 2 years ago, but I'm just getting into this game and this video was a huge help!

The way she runs reminds me of the titans from AoT.

Pro tip for people who want to get the most out of the Gold Idol, make a forgery of it at The Black Cat, and turn in the REAL Gold Idol to Caxton (Or to Madeleine if you want her top tier stuff), and keep your forgery in your party's inventory, it will still trick all vendors into giving you a 30% discount on ALL prices. So now you not only get acces to some top tier gear, but you also can buy it 30% cheaper. Alternatively, if you forgot to make a forgery and already turned in the Gold Idol, you're not completely screwed, there is still a Gold Idol forgery inside Fournival's house, but it's ontop of a bookshelf, and the only way i'm aware of reaching it is to stack a bunch of barrels which is much more difficult that it sounds. Warning, special discount awarding items like bronze/silver/gold idols and others, do not stack. So the higher possible discount that i am aware of is 30% from the Gold Idol, once you have that or the forgery in your party iventory, don't bother carrying around bronze or silver idols since they won't stack.

Anyone here from 2020 YOTG? I got this on recommended list even tho i haven't played this game in years 😂

I love how i bought the remaster 2 years ago and got every achievement. Finally convinced a friend to play it and now I’m obsessed with helping to get his pawn a complete bestiary and all quest knowledge. Played for hundreds of hours this game never gets old!

Hey from 2017 for the re-release on PS4. Thanks for this, helped me a bunch!

Greetings from Dragon's Dogma on the Nintendo Switch - 2019

Wow, still remember looking up this guide a long time ago looking for everything and now seeing does bring back some memories of me playing Dragon's Dogma...good times

"Do what ever you want with her...That was a joke, please don't call the cops on me,it's just a video game!" xD i was dying!

Amazing guides. I watched your other Dragon's dogma guides and it was really helpful.

Thank You!!! Who else is watching this for the PC version :) So much better, so happy it came out on on PC!!!

Dragons Dogma is literally my favorite game of all time. I only completed like 1/4th of it too on 360. When I had it on Xbox 360 I sold my 360 to get xbox one and gave the game back to my friend who lent it to me thinking it would be back compatible with Xbox one but it wasn't. Then just a few weeks ago I saw a youtube commercial for DD:DA remastered on xBox one and my heart pounded so hard and I literally jumped out of my chair. Im glad I am able to finally start playing again and hope more people discover this wonderful gem of a game!

Many years later and I just started playing this game, very helpful video and VERY hilarious commentary. Man I miss 2012.

Considering most of the "awesome" weapons that you get for handing over the gold idol, you have a higher chance of dying violently in Bitterblack and finding a cursed object. Daimon almost seems easier to deal with than her.

In the beginning you have to say yes to her when she asks if you will obey everything she says (even if you don't wanna start the quest yet). With the hide n seek you have to catch her in a certain time limit so be quick, also if she isn't behind the alehouse she is in the inn behind the fireplace and to the right of the picture on the wall near the chair of knowledge.

Actually,she has three hiding spots. behind the fireplace in the inn, behind the alehouse, and behind the riftstone in the guild. the angle of the camera as she runs off gives you a hint as to where she'll go. camera left of Arisen: inn, centre: alehouse, right: pawn guild.

The happiness I got from seeing the idol on the right side of my screen was insane! I had so much trouble with the mission where you had to buy the plot so I was relieved I didn’t have to do that mission twice 😂 thanks so much though this helped a lot (I am aware you are not likely to respond because of how old this is 😅)

Dude, I watched two of your videos and I'm subscribing for your attitude alone.lmao xD id love to chill and tall with you man. Awesome job.

5 years later and im still playing this game.

cant wait for dragons dogma 2, sucks that manufactoredOpinionn wont be making videos on it, much love💕

Glad to know lots of people wanted to help me expand my inventory of awesome weapons and armor. Thanks a bunch.....

Thanks man for the advice you gave on the idol quest. I appreciate you thank again.

It's so cool to see that people are still playing #ddda at the end of #2019 heading into #2020 - S/O to ALL #gamers on ALL platforms 💯🙌🏽☺️

You have to sleep in the inn for 3 - 7 times to reset the blacksmith and start selling the weapons.

This was a big help thank you I didn't even know there were other idols apart from the bronze one XD

Haha, this video made me subscribe! Nice humor, better late then never but I just discovered your channel today. Keep up the excellent work.

The draw distance fucked me over on the race part I bumped right into her while she was between the planes of existence.

I completed this quest but still don't have access to his additional armaments and I can't find why anywhere

Just started playing on the Switch. Going to give this a go tonight. Thanks!

Thanks for the vid. I'm finally gonna do a play through after getting it on sale for GOG a couple of years ago.

"We will have to go to the market to get some RUPHIES...."

You can get a second Gold Idol by replaying on hard mode. Hard mode, gives better loot & stuff. I usually don't give out the first Idol until I have two then I can give one to both Caxton & Madeleien. Also, def forge a copy at The Black Cat as it gives you buy/sell discounts at all shops. Finally, you can get a free "forged copy" of the Gold Idol prior to the escort quest with Simeon, from a ledge in their dining room upstairs. After the quest, it's no longer there.

you're killin me man this video is hilarious and useful thx i needed a good laugh

Man you were extremely helpful. Thanks.

who is still playing? 👀👌🏾

if you didnt Press A at 6:53 we could have watch the fournival clapping through eternity

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaank you, been looking for the idol forever!!

Thanks for the video, helped me out a ton.

I GOT THE GOLDEN IDOL!!!! WOOOP THANKS A BUNCH MANUFACTURED

I hit her on accident and ruined the quest lol. guards put me in jail, it autosaved. bla. Little brat haha.

Very helpful, entertaining to watch. Thanks for the video!

Thanks so much for this video, it help me a lot, greetings from Nicaragua.

Some of the bigger monster fights are awesome. In DA you have more control over your part...this game gives you more options and skill trees for your character. The normal combat in this game feels like nightmare combat in DA a lot. DA has a much better story and I have to agree with Quixotic..EA has left me with a bad taste in my mouth these past few months.

After I gave MasterworksMan his gold Idol I didn't get the weapons, does the availability change depending on the stage of the game?

Got it first try. Thanks for the help!

There were so many times when I thought I failed but I didn't. Thanks man. U are sick

This is easily the greatest rpg I have ever played.

In Dark Arisen edition (probably what everyone is playing if they are) you don't necessarily need to complete Chasing Shadows quest, you need to complete the obvious, Land of Opportunity, then rest at the inn, leave Gran Soren, come back in, and talk to Fournival at his house and complete the quest. Also, say what you will about Symone, I think she's a real cutie, stole my heart with her little run.

Watched the new trailer for dragons dogma 2 and remembered watching this video during my playthrougt of dg1, hilarious video and quest 😂

I’ve been playing this game for 7 years, I’m playing it once again and I’m here once again lol

What if you failed it and the save prior to the quest is gone?

thx man I found I bumped that little abomition. she give me a egg.V.V

My god i love ur videos man! :D

Great guide! Strength in numbers arisen.

is there another way to obtain that gold idol ? i failed this quest.

I can't find Mason for some reason. What did I do wrong?

Hope you keep posting good tutorial like this one

also the fiqurines are awckward, you must give the original copy of the fiqurine but the copy maintains the same skills, but won't affect stores supply, so you only get one per playthrough, so if you get the gold idol in the first and second playthrough, caxton and madeline can both get better supplies, you just need one gold copy for the discount bonus

u dont need to do the "chasing shadows" quest...

The dude is in jail -__- how can i talk to him than

Thnx for this dude! Really helped!

I really like your commentary "I don't have a ps3 cause apparently I suck" I found it funny

She gave me a golden egg even through I lost.

I got the golden idol and gave it to caston but I didn't get the weapons just armor....help?

This guy's humour is amazing! xD Love it

Dude hasn't uploaded in 5 years. RIP King 👑

LOL love your jokes.

Anyone still play this on PS3?

I’m curious, do you hold onto the gold forgery for discounts & do you have to keep it on your character or can you leave in in your inventory chest? The vendor still has outrageous prices even after I gave him the real gold idol! & who should you give the idol to? I use a Strider & Magik archer..

Thank you for the video, so much information.

PSN: Stberserker USE MY PAWN

Restart the entire game hax :c it sux

I remember doing that quest, it was ridiculous. I've been following your assassin guide and I enjoyed it. I did level 15 fighter, currently a sorcerer, level 18-19 (Hate it), then gonna go warrior for a little then Assassin. Hopefully that will give me strength and magic.

Every time I do this quest I think of you saying "She does this Fat Joe leanback"

There are 3 idols gold, silver, bronze each with a discount of 30,20,10% respectively! You can give the silver or bronze one female merchant near the Black cat to open her high end wares but most of her items are tailored for women.

There's another gold idol in the witchwood if you go a special way through the woods. This idol quest though is much easier though.

Awesome! Thanks for this! :)

Great info about the quest and game thank you

Good guide, but do I have a glitch if she stops at the market and keeps saying "Amazing" when you speak to her while these guys keep stopping and saying hello to her? Any advice?

thanks guy you help me a lot!!!!!

Greetings from 2021 you helped a lot sir.

Yeah slept for 3 days after I finished gathering evidences for Trials and tribulations and the items popped out. Thanks for this :)

A Gold Idol Forgery literally hangs over everyone's head. And it scares me it took me seeing a YT video last month to realize it.

Found this video a little late. Ended up giving a silver idol. Can confirm, the gold does give better gear options.

Okay, second playthrough. I took the Chasing Shadows Quest but I refused to kill the Salvation leader to see what would happen. If I talk to the Duke will that quest be totally erased?

gold idol gives a few new weapons/amor, and if you never gave armor smith, any idols before, gold basically gives you, everything that bronze and silver gives, plus a few more items, same for Madeline(I think you need to complete Chasing Shadows before Madeline asks you for an idol, after red dragon quest is complete)

It won't start you completely over unless you specifically choose 'New Game' in the main menu. When you beat the game and it saves and sends you to the main menu, just load and it'll put you at the beginning of the game with all previous stats and stuff for NG+.

Wow thank you for the video because I completed the quest but I never talk to her

Ok figured it out if you let her get “too far” she will say so, if that happens reload the checkpoint. Just be sure to stay at the in first, or have a save to reload

Unfortunately, i didnt keep a medium distance. Is there a way to repeat this quest?

The way I got the Golden Idol from the girl was by not to sprint but not too walk to slowly, just walked normally and zigzagged behind her a few times. I even bumped into her a few times and I still got it. Oh, and I did it on my first try. :) Anyway, thanks for putting up this awesome yet useful video!

I bought this game on the Switch and played it once then it sat on my backlog for a few months. Got around to actually playing it and god damn this shit is incredible. She gave me a golden egg before o knew about the idol but the quest still came up. Is there another way to get the idol after this?

Is that equipment you get for the golden idol better than the cursed bitterblack armor and weapons lv.3?

Hey is this quest obtainable after proving Fournival guilty? I'm doing the quest right now and I'm quite concerned not to be able to obtain the gold idol

Thxs very much.Great info.

Hey man i apreciate this

thanks, this could be MASSIVELY helpful! been struggling through with some piss-poor gear for about 40 hours..

You just need to sleep at the inn for a few days and come back a bit later.
