0 hour. My main pawn is a Beastren fighter (on his way to becoming a warrior as soon as he gets a decent meat cleaver). Name Cosmo, codename Chad. A kindhearted kitty...
0 hours cause of the bugs
Must be an on PC because it runs like butter on series x@@CoolLichMan
@@SlickDangler10 on pc you can only play like 5 minutes with the worst graphics before you get kicked out
Thought the game looked bad enough, and then you mention chad, what's next? goat, boi, based? A game for tweens apparently
kidnapping a random adventurer to force him into a boss encounter is peak gaming experience
😂😂
I would have never thought of it. Lol
😂 it’s like strolling pawns and npcs
It's too bad you can't command your pawns to pick ppl up too, have each of you carry one npc to a boss and have a team of 8 lol
Your mother is peak gaming experience
"You're my friend now, we're going on an adventure to fight a chimera.... you don't have a choice"
My main pawn is in the video! It's Zoe, the mage who gets you the chest by flying over to it at 4:44
Does the mage need to learn any spells like levitation to unlock that?
@@briceosteen9934 I believe it is a core skill so you just have to buy it with Dcp
@@briceosteen9934They probably must unlock the spell they can float with. When they offer their help to get the stuff for you, just press the 'go' command. If everything works just fine, the mage will float their ass and get the stuff for you. And yes that is a core skill.
Hey! Zoe was the first pawn I hired, when she was still lvl 5 or lower I think Thanks for her help
@@Bigmacsrule97no its not. It's a passive perk.
A tip: You can hire certain pawns who speak Elven and when you go to the elven town you'll be able to understand their language and see their weapons names and descriptions. You can also get a scroll to teach your own pawn by gifting the chick in the elven town. I used the inn keeper and gave her flowers and rested a day each time and by the second day I think it was after a couple gifts she gave it to me. Helps people hire your pawn more if they have that soecialization
which chick?
@@jeremiahhatcher2453 I think he's saying the innkeeper or any NPC there. Haven]t verified. BUT you can just hire an "official pawn" at the riftstone there and select one with the Woodland Wordsmith specialization and that'll let you understand the NPCs there
i just bought everything from their shop
@@PhoenixLnk nooooooooo 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂
you can buy their weapons etc without knowing the language
DD1 boosted my love of gaming when i was younger. The fact that you can use a cyclop as a bridge prove exactly why gaming is supposed to be such an amazing experience. Once again, Dragon's Dogma brings back my joy for games after having it lost for so long. Great video
DD1 was peak gaming back in the day! I would go around shooting down apples and picking grapes to make wine for all my pawns and give as gifts to npcs. I love dragons dogma so much! The anime kinda sucked, though, but I liked that it tried to be like berserk.
@@henrikaugustsson4041 yeah! Such memorable moments for every true gamers. For some reason, i liked to off myself with the special dagger & roleplay a lot with my pawns! Truly a real RPG and a unique sequel experience for the niche OG players
Some grappling tricks! If you grab an enemy and sprint into a wall while holding them, youll body slam them into the wall and knock them prone, letting a melee class get a followup critical attack. In addition, if you hold the grab button in midair, youll pounce on an enemy and hold them down. This allows you to hold them down for your pawns and punch them on the ground. These are just some things i stumbled on on my own, so there could be tons of other little things you can do with the grab. Try things out for yourself! If anyone has any more details, please let me know.
you can jump on top of a fighter's shield in a fight happened to me by accident
@@MisterMuslim000 that's a skill no? They launch you with the shield I think
@@bryanresendiz9377 there are so many skills it's hard to keep track pawns can be given an item that teaches them to use item on you when you need it but I never saw it happen
did you put it in their inventory? the items have to be in that specific pawn's inventory. it works for me. ill give em cures for debilitations and they'll help out unless the mage has that cure effect spell.@@MisterMuslim000
@@bryanresendiz9377 yes it is but it is rarely useful because you can't tell your pawn to specifically use that skill at a certain time so it's mostly rng if they use it or not. I build my fighter pawn to be a tanky distraction while me and the others dish out the damage.
If an escort mission npc is slow you can pick them up and carry them princess style. You can use it to protect them from danger by letting your pawns fight while you act like a pack mule for the npc.
That’s what I did for the Magick Archer quest. Made it so easy and faster.
You can do anything and they'll follow. Ferry stone, Ox cart etc
Just use a ferrystone.
@@Gizmo524 probably better for his back too.
In Dragon's Dogma 1 they rubberband so you never have to worry about leaving them behind, they will always teleport behind you. I'm not sure if that applies in DD2 or not.
I for sure thought I was dead when a hippogriff dropped me, but was pleasantly surprised when literally all my pawns seemed to be in a panicked huddle right beneath to catch me lol
Must be nice, I staggered a griffin in flight directly over the Vermund docks area and I panic jumped off of him thinking he would've taken taken a nosedive into the brine while on his back. Needless to say that griffin flew away as I splatted against the riverbank and continues to taunt me to this very day by flying around Vermund without actually landing anywhere.
must be nice playing the game lol@@NightmareBlade10
are you guys playing on pc? i heard performance was really bad but the game looks fun
I have a ps5, all I can say is it looks good enough and it’s fun lol
@@suhrfranbacon btw how does character customization work? do you have to buy the micro transaction to change the way you look or is it something you can earn through playing? i’m really trying not to look up too much about this game in case i do want to buy it lol
Bro said get the town guard and force them to do their job lmao
Wondering why he put emphasis on “the power of that shot can be pretty… prettaaaayyyy….pretty strong” as I notice the monster flying across the map 🤣🤣
larry david is class
I had to go back and watch this cuz I missed it the first time. Thanks!!!
This made me laugh 😂
I used it for the first time on a rocky lizard thinking it’d do the same thing as its previous versions Lost it when it just straight up disappeared and fell next to me after like 4 seconds, worst part is it was still alive and somehow didn’t die from the fall dmg
Love the depth of this game.
The irony in this comment when the ground doesn't load for me 😖😖
What's your hardware @@AlwaysRetr0

@@AlwaysRetr0 Potato PC, back to review bombing it on steam instead of just having the minimum required hardware.
I like the hidden combat mechanics/ combos like monster hunter has, itsuno my goat
Definitely using ice block for my favorite beverage now. 10/10
Holy, that golem machine gun looks cool as hell lol
Mystic spears starting skill, the dash attack, is also extremely useful for mid air traversal
Hard to go exactly where you want, though. Unless I see an enemy, I always just to down or level…
@@henrikaugustsson4041try jumping with it
@@ASMWP I am, but I can’t seem to go upward, even if I slant the camera up, jump and then do the move… Just doesn’t aim properly for me.
@@henrikaugustsson4041 oh yeah I see what you are saying you’re right lol 😂😂
It goes mostly straight but the upgraded version covers huge distance so you don't need to rely on pushing a cyclops, it closes the gaps that the other classes can't.
Thanks for the positive video. This game is amazing and not worthy of the ridiculous hate it's getting.
What hate? Cant we like the game a critic its flaws at the same time?, or is a flawless masterpiece 10/10 in your opinion?
It’s as much a 10/10 as any game has been.
@@Jesus-jq5zw most of the hate came from missinfo around the microtransactions and not understanding the game at all, they are bad but every capcom game has them and they feel extremely imposed by corporate rather than put in place with design in mind
@@Jesus-jq5zw Criticizing it's flaws is one thing. But the complete shitstorm the game got in the first few days was entirely unreasonable.
@@bookfish in pc the game was bad, if cyberpunk took it so should capcom too
My favorite from dragons dogma 1, that i havent seen people mention: if your a mage/sorcerer up against a magic golem; Unequip you weapon, climb and kick the magic tokens. You do decent damage instead of nothing with magic.
Not really needed in DD2, considering they take magic damage now.
I'll also say if ur a mage/sorc just get Seism/High Seism, while a bit random it can easily kill multiple of its gems at once and break its poise pretty reliably, made those things into a joke fight for me.
Meteoron and Levin can nuke all the exposed coins. Then all that's left is for you to stab the obnoxious foot one.
Finally a video where the "I bet you didn't know..." is ACTUALLY things I didn't know. Useful tips! Usually these "I bet you didn't know..." videos are filled with things like: "Did you know pressing the start button pauses the game!"
#3 frigor the ice spell the step is in the skill description is an intended function carried over from the first game but that breaking it apart for throwable ice is new and so cool.
One of the few ways you can make your trickster deal damage lol.
Those ice blocks make nice projectiles for the Mystic Spearhands skill.
If you play magic archer, you can use the Recovery Arrow to resurect your pawns. You can also chuck a pawn down a cliff, ress it, then just down and let it catch you.
some great tips that had me laughing out loud in amazement also appreciate your dry sense of humour 🤣
The skull splitter clip at the end, insane 😂😂 that poor troll had no chance
DD2 has so many hidden things, it’s like a classic computer RPG. This is what gaming used to be like in the 80’s and 90’s.
These are probably the best useful tips I’ve seen online so far thanks!
My pawn is Reacher 😂 so if you need a level 20 (so far) fighter keep an eye of for the 300lb beast haha
can’t pick him up. too heavy
PlayStation?
You means Jack Reacher (Amazon Video)?
What’s his pawn number?
@@carpetcreed3841 his pawn id is Y2186F5LNHDQ
bro how do you always make actually useful tip videos with every videogame wtf these videos are actually amazing
Something they need to fix is that thief enemies can straight up steal your ferrystones. Killing them doesn't get you them back so basically you just had 10k stolen and the dude that the stolen items go to sells it for 20k.
I've had a couple items stolen from me, including a ferry stone, and got all of them back upon killing the thief
@@regulator18E I did not sadly. I killed every enemy and looted everyone that had the prompt and got nothing back. Needless to say I was salty.
Thieves stealing? How dare they!
The Arisenvirgin WEEPS upon the thiefchad pilfering their items
@@dantefromdevilmaycry9857 all I was saying is that certain items should have theft protection.
I laughed so hard at some of these! Amazing stuff, thanks for sharing!
“You can mumble 1000 hippopotamus “ made me subscribe to this guy.
Cool video! While battling Talos, I once fell off his shoulder--which was of course instant death--only to have a pawn catch my fall! What a champ!!
This video was so fun to watch and so many things I didn't know about it was all super cool! thank you
Short and informative, all videos should be like this.
Whaaaaat!!?? Some of these never crossed my mind! Very informing and gameplay changing! Thanks!
I love this channel so much dude! Alex, please make more videos. Whether its DD2 or any other game, I *need* new Boomstick uploads every day in my life 😍
Other channels: "Top 10" things while taking 12-25 minutes 🤡 Boomstick Gaming: Challenge accepted 🗿
With the Mystic Spearhand's flying thrust attack, you actually can use it to go up those sliding slopes you see throughout the map and make shortcuts through flying around. Especially when it's fully upgraded as it has extended distance. It can't gain altitude though as the thief has better moveset to do so. But it makes for interesting shortcuts up slippery slopes that doesn't seem to have any other entrances up. I got that scarlet underwear thing by doing this.
Some of these are actually insane haha. Thanks for this!
Countless videos have been designed for different hints and tricks or strategies. However, none can come even close to what you've compiled in this video! This video is absolutely fantastic. These tactics are pure gold and definitely will help all those seeking assistance. They truly are great hints, tricks, and strategies unlike anything I've ever seen. BTW, your comment about the strong attack being "pretty, pretty strong and watching that monster fly miles away was so funny and I couldn't stop laughing. Hell, I showed it to my wife, and she's still laughing! Anyway, great video, and thanks a lot. They've truly helped me out.
Great vid! Most of these tips were new to me!
This game has a combination of some of the most CRAZY details and well though out mechanics (like the cyclops having a unique animation of forming a bridge if losing its balance right at the edge of a destroyed bridge, or the Beastren occasionally "shaking off" their fur like a dog when wet.), but also some of the most immersion-breaking weirdness like being able to just pick anyone up and carry them away without consequence, being able to easily soft-lock yourself out of completing some horribly designed quests, and everyone in a town spontaneously reviving after a few days when the pawn AIDS takes full effect. Yet, I still can't stop playing.
I wanted to see the pawn aids happen in my game but somehow my pawn got cured on its own. I was disappointed.
The first tip is mind-blowing and gonna help me a lot with my playstyle. Thanks!!
Dang, these were actually some really good tips. Thx!
0:16 also the adventurer/ imposter arisen parties if you take the person the other 3 are following they will follow you since you have that leader. Therefore you can bring a party of 4 to back you up
Great tips man! I just started and got attacked by a Griffin, as I was trying to run…. I ran headlong into a Minotaur….. yup. Fun times at Lv7 and still figuring out controls.
pretty cool and wild info thanks!
Hot damn, I was planning on leaving the Warfarer for last after I leveled the other vocations, so glad I saw this video, gonna save me so much time leveling to just get him first.
ive been useing warfarer and its not levling up other vocations so be wary maybe this got patch or something
@@nitros1ty544 I bet it goes very slowly, since that doesn’t seem like a bug. Not sure though.
@@nitros1ty544 Warfarer got to rank 3 but others still at rank 1 I think it levels very slowly without the exp buff
@@nitros1ty544 there is another video that explains warfarer but essentially if you acquire 100 dcp warfarer get 50 percent and and the rest is split between all the other vocations even if it has already been maxed
Some context to this for anyone who doesn't know yet but the exp gain for other vocations is minuscule. My pawn mastered 3 vocations in the time it took to level all my vocations at 5
The game gets better and better!
Woah, this was very imformative. Except 2 things I didn't know you can do these stuff. Very nice!
If you prime a powder bomb and activate it right after a concussive leap you go WAAAY farther. Combine with skull splitter and you can SOAR. for reference, you can clear the broken stone bridge west of Vernworth easily like this.
5:29 "excuse me ser, have you any business entailing apothecary work". Arisen: "yes, cary"
1) The mechanics in this game are CRAZY good! 2) How on earth do you figure this all out?! Great video!
Great tips! Thank you 🥸👍
You just blew my mind ! I didn’t know about the rock creature laser beam thing
Before I watch this video lemme say your control setup from the last video has made being an archer a joy to plya 🙏🏾
I accidentally broke a bridge with all 3 of my pawns on it directly over a river. At night. Surrounded by harpies, saurians and goblins. Wasnt long before i was asleep with no one to wake me up because apparently harpies do not stop chasing you. And then dead. It’s crazy how quickly you can go from full party kicking ass, to sleeping peacefully while goblins are banging your skull with molotov cocktails. Save/ sleep at Inns, every time you go to one.
yes i too learnt that the hard way.
Yup a situation can go South fast,i was on a carrige got attacked hafway through by goblins killed them then got saurians killed them jumped back on the wagon then a gryphin destroyed it killed that then a chamera came along,at that point i was thinking o cmon game realy?! But it was also fun😅 i kept walking and a min later with 30% health left 2 cyclopses spawned i was thinking ya screw this so i made a run for it to town after 10 meters they stopped chasing me,a hell of a road trip that was
@@Marcustheseermy exp was that i ran into a guy who wanted me to escort him safely to a super distant location did that at night took forever then close to the location 2 cyclops in the same spot took me awhile to kill after that no break and ran into so many goblins while that happened a griffin appeared at the same time had super low hp managed that somehow thought its finally over.. NOPE few steps further GOLEM.
@@trinitytet ya thats one hell of a situation to,sometimes you just thinking a cmon man!
Thank you formthis tips very much!
This is the best DD2 tip video I’ve seen.
This is one 'game doesn't tell you' video that was actually informative and really good. Thanks for this. When does the dragonforged provide those benefits? When I went to him he only sold me a few inventory items.
I love this game and these tips just made me love it even more.
I think dd1 had much more interesting mechanics, but this is very smooth and I love it. I just feel a little annoyed that I can’t use my favourite vocations and spells from dd1. The lightning whip was so COOL!!!!!
Thank you for the tip
S many simple yet impactful tips, cheers :>
Good vid Mr Alex.
This is great, thank you!
Banger video, subbed
Love your content mate 👌
I love this game even more after high fiveing a pawn. There's some jank, but embrace it and let the chaos warm you (before throwing it at a troll)
That’s a lot of useful information 👍 Thanks
Similar to the Thief Extra Jumps you mentioned, you can also use the Mystic Spearhand's "Dragoun Stabbe" to get across gaps, I use it all the time.
That was a well made video, thanks for the info
One of your best videos yet !!! 🤣 Bravo 👏 👏👏
Great game, awesome tips, thank you !
Apparently, if you find the sphinx and answer their five questions, you can grab them as they fly to their next spot and they'll take you with them.
I did that. You can stand at the nape of the neck and not fall off or use up stamina. Although be sure to hold on when it goes into a cave system briefly, as it jerks around a bit.
@@Chocomunchie yeah, I never did it personally, but a buddy told me about it and said I should share if I find someone curious. When the griffins fly away, do they take you to their nests?
There's multiple sphinxes?
if you have a pawn fighter with the shield launch skill, you can use that to get chests just out of reach if you dont feel like finding the path that leads to it.
The spearhand weapon skill, dragons foin, is great for accessing spots with chests too!!!
3:22 this one works if you knock them off balance and pull their leg next to like say one of those broken stone bridges that are naturally broken.
That extra "pawn" made me laugh so hard, so gonna use that. Also what armor is that mage wearing, looks awesome!
For deathly arrow's timing, I look at the arisen's elbow that's holding the arrow. When the arisen releases the arrow, his elbow moves backwards slightly and I release the fire button. It takes a bit of practice and usually I can see the elbow move on the corner of my eye so I can focus on aiming.
Great list of things I didn't know.
Bro, they made thief a powerhouse in this game. I didn't know about the leap and the smoke bomb. Thanks!
Did good Alex💪🏾
Good video. Just subscribed
i love having my pawn use the ice spell when im playing mystic spear hand so i always have free objects to telekinetically throw into my enemies
straight to the point.. thats how you make a video ❤
My man dropped a Larry David bit into the video. I’m down. Lol
as a vetran of dd I didn't expect anything interesting to be on this list, but I have to say, at lest 10 of these things were new to me and that's pretty dope.
I'm not entirely sure on the EXACT mechanics of it, as I've only managed to pull it off a couple of times, but I'm sure someone more willing to test it could figure it out, but... You can do a super speed levitate sorta like the jetpack boost in no man's sky by jumping into a levitate while accelerating at a high enough speed, such as when first starting to sprint. It's not only probably one of the fastest means of transportation other than fast traveling, but it also goes like 10x farther than a normal levitate, allowing you to reach some pretty ridiculous places. Figuring this out is 100% going to be a huge part of speedrunning the game, and can totally allow for some crazy sequence breaking.
Loved the Larry David nod there.
That mage levitating is pretty darn cool 😊Beck yeah!
if you have a pawn with levitate (i think both mage and sorcerer get it) they actually use it in battle to, looks cool, pretty sure it keeps some creatures from hitting them.
No notes on my warrior gameplay, noted :D
Straight to the point. No bullshit. You are the best
lol I didn't realize the space flight program at 2:00 until rewatching.
Thief mobility is crazy!
So much detail 😮
if you want to use the arrow of unmaking say against the sphinx make sure to rest at an Inn or owned home as you then get a hard save point that you can revert to
That is good tips indeed
newbie to dragons dogma 2. you convinced me to get it.
enjoy!
That's crazy!
If you have a pawn with the fighter or warrior vocation that has the shield jumping ability, you can sometimes press go when next to a ledge that's too high to get on and they will launch you onto it
Had no idea that vendor could level vocations and upgrade the skills. Those options weren't there my 1st play through? 🤔 Going to check him now in new game+
3:00 is peak. Dangerous comedy for the gaming industry, but glad to see it.
