I didn't like the Arctic Bolt at first, but it's been surprisingly useful against certain, larger enemies. It takes a lot of time to charge up to it's maximum potential, which is a bit of a pain in the ass, but the freeze effect can really help out your team. And enemies that are weak to ice take a ton of damage from it, even when it isn't fully charged. It's a situationally useful skill, just like the Ricochet one.

Wish I knew to bring a portcrystal. I thought you could open the door from the Island side.

Also cant use "ultimate abilities"

Any hints on how to negate the weight problem? I didn’t understand the certain someone 😂

@@cb77153 The Dragonforged can halve the weight of any equipment

@@cb77153 dragon forge the wyrmcrystal guy halves you weight

@Khazzham Could you please tell the name of the bow? coz all i see is repeller bow, and don't think it is a ice one

Siocadh...is the the second last with light blue color, you can check the frost element +140%@@IAMLEGEND091

Siocadh, is the second last with light blue color, you can check the frost element damage 140%@@IAMLEGEND091

@IAMLEGEND091 the ice bow is called siocadh, it's for Magick archers while the repeller bow you mentioned is for regular archers. Siocadh doesn't have alot of damage but it does have the highest freeze build up in the game and paired with Magick archers ice skills you can lock everything down while your party goes bananas

I haven’t met the elves yet, where are they?

Well thief is immortal and has tons of damage is as much op as strider or even more

@adriaplanascarbonell5439 oh don't get me wrong thief is probably my favorite class in the game but compared to dragons dogma 1 the thief in 2 is nothing to the strider in 1. Helm splitter upgraded with bbi ring would one or two spin any boss in the entire game including bbi unless they were physical immune ofc. Nothing compared to it. Then magic archer had nine fold bolt which was better than anything the 2nd one has once bbi was made dragons dogma 1 scaling went through the roof with damage.

@@itz_x_salvation395 well you are comparing a base game with a game with a dlc. Bbi is post game and has stronger mobs and stronger weapons. Will see when Dragons dogma 2 gets a dlc. Talking about dragons dogma without bbi the thief in DD2 is even stronger than strider. The classes that are really nerfed are sorcerer and magick archer

​@@itz_x_salvation395 Thats because of the gear. Not the vocation. DD2 doesn't have BBI gear.

Magick archer sucks in this game imo. Where tf are my daggers. Why can't I have any movement abilities to assist with how long it takes to move again after dropping the bow. What happened to the good augments. Honestly, this is a disgusting nerf

Same

Do you have to go into NG+ to buy that stuff from him or can you do it in first playthrough after defeating dragon and loading past save?

@@kenbaltzer1670 you don't have to go into ng+, just beat the dragon once and load in. That's what I did, anyway.

​@@kenbaltzer1670 it's worth noting I used the godsway on the back of the dragon to unlock the ruined world after I killed it once, so I don't know if that is different from what you said.

@@vanlynn6559There’s a difference-i completed the story without using the sword and it brought me to the main menu and only gave me the option to start a new game. I just reverted back to my last inn save and it put me back before I started the end mission lol gonna do it right this time

​@@kenbaltzer1670 Do the true ending, and farm wyrmcrystals. U get like 400-500 before going Ng +

What you mean?

Just use in air and heal yourself

Smaller git box as well, and assuming like the first game, let's you climb monsters faster

If you need extra knockdown power, might as well do Dwarven enhancement. The slightly less magick power drawback and slightly added weight in comparison to almost doubling your knockdown power is huge.

but isnt the dragonforged vendor at the base you have in endgame still like, offer the best gear available? cause he'd still be a guy you could only get till endgame again

@@defjam66x Nah, I haven't done the coronation quest yet and I ran into him. I actually bypassed the checkpoint by accident by heading through Guerco Cavern. The Dragonforged is just beyond that.

@@defjam66x if you go to him before the unmoored world then he won't sell gear but once you visit him in the endgame once kn every further playthroigu he will sell gear right off the bat. Same with other vendors they will be in their upgraded state

Yep just talk to her again and boom

I mean frosthunter

Absolutely agree.. I did it at level 23 just ran through the whole cave list my team but got the there

Formless Feint, Implicate (for aerial enemies), Skull splitter, then the explosive/or smoke bomb

Dwarves is better imho as it gives more knock down

@@Maya-pap agreed, did all mine with dwarven, then reduced weight with final upgrade.

Watch the video lol

I have the same exact problem…I can’t even find the cave in the true ending….its like the island was destroyed and he’s no longer in that area….please let me know if you find a fix

He moves to the seafloor shrine

I heard thats not a thing here. When you change vocations all the stats change to that vocations stats. So only augments from the vocations matter. At least thats what i heard

It doesn't swap instantly, but when you level up the stats catch up very quickly, so it doesn't really matter.

There are several in the game you can find by quests and in chest - Isaac the merchant is bakbathahl has a quest with a bad ending that gives you that ring but I would be careful has he will no longer be avail as a merchant.

Well one is magic and one is physical. Like a magical archer isn’t going to be able to do much against a Metal Golem. But in this game, both of the have auto aim. The hybrid class are always going be stronger than the regular ones as that’s kinda the whole point but in turn, only the Arisen can be a hybrid vocation. TLDR Not invalidating, simply a magical upgrade

when you start ng+, you will choose one if the 4 starter vocations but when you get to a place where you can change your vocation, you'll have all the vocations you've previously unlocked ready to go

it wounds you to use, they shouldn't

You can find pretty much everything on the fextralife wiki.

I checked on there and all that’s there is a placeholder. Rip 😅

@@KrYzXzT check volcanic island armory shop as well with other armory

You find it in a chest during one of the main story quests. I believe it’s when the castle rises by harve village.

Why would they? 🙄

There is no rouge there genius 😒

@@project_Akira thief is no rogue? 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

@@ozunad144Well, if we’re being accurate, there is no rogue class. If we’re being technical (and nerds), thieves and rogues are similar but have different motivations, so still different.

@@NrdDy Rogue is main. then there is Assassin Thief Arcan Trickster! You dullis have no idea

cope

@@TheHotShotProject 1d10t. Watch Rage’s video about how to use Augural Flare and then come back and tell me a skill or vocation in the game does that much dps.

​@LordAsturgis I miss my Mystick Knight...

spells are slow as fuck though, youre even more vulnerable than magick archer. not worth it personally

@@mari-anne You can fast cast by holding the right bumper on controller and there’s a ring that increases cast speed. It takes me less than 3 seconds to cast Augural Flare. And unless you’re fighting Drakes who actually target you and force you to run around a little, there are augments and rings that diminish aggro. Sorcerers also have a crazy channeling life-leech that does true damage and can one cast a Wight (or any other that doesn’t move much).

Blackwing bow is the 2nd best bow and it's not unlocked for purchase until after you reach the end game. The best bow in the elf town until this point is militant dove which is weaker and makes you take more damage while healing you if you aren't doing anything. His skills are fine. He's missing frosthunter and his augments are more about QoL instead of raw damage which is also fine.

@maijqp the best bow in the elf town is actually the ice bow (sicadh, I think). It allows you to freeze enemies without even using ice skills. It scales just fine, and its utility is unmatched. As for his skills: The exploding arrow is entirely unnecessary, and the remedy arrow is unnecessary if you have a mage in the party (and you always should). He absolutely needs the skill that shoots the ice berg since it's actually coded as physical damage and will allow the bow to hurt enemies that are Magick immune, not to mention it does a ton of stagger to enemies hit and will topple big enemies that are off balance. Using the ultimate skill is not recommended outside of very specific boss fights. There is no reason to have it on equipped all of the time. He should add ricochet shot and add the ice block one. Candescent orb is also a much better skill than he pretends it is. It CCs enemies by setting them on fired and has a huge AOE. I could care less about his augments. They don't make a huge difference in the end outside of the thief one and endurance one. His setup is pretty bad. If his goal was to "min/max," like he said, he did a really bad job.

@@FlashesSoccer011 ok not even close. Ice bow prevents other buffs like enemies weak to fire and the damage is like half of the other bows. Blazefang is unmatched dps against enemies weak to fire. I have taken 2 full bars off of a gore minotaur and a Griffen using the skill. The ice berg skill takes forever to charge and does less damage then frosthunter. Candecent orb sucks because not only does it fuck with lighting but it's damage is all over time with no stagger potential. Blazefang is an instant huge burst of damage that knocks down. And having martyrs bolt helps if you just want to end the fight immediately. It literally one shot the grigori for me and I didn't even use savagery extract or anything like that. It trivializes most large monsters except for the end game pillar fights because those are immune to being 1 shot. And you're reasoning for things is so ass backwards. You say blazefang is useless yet praise the ice berg skill (artic bolt btw) for its stagger potential when blazefang does the same thing. Oh and mages can't revive. Which is why he said he brought it. And if an enemy is vulnerable to ice then you should be using frosthunter because of its huge damage potential, auto targeting and only hitting the exact spot you target, and cc.

You sound like someone I wouldn’t want to be around lol

There’s always one guy who has to respond like an asshole. Always got to put down someone to make yourself feel superior. Even if you’re right you sound like a dickhead.
