------------------------------------
The number of complaints this game is getting because of the microtransactions is completely ridiculous. Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen has the same microtransactions and nobody cared then because they were pointless, and nobody bought them (same as now). This game is phenomenal and worth every penny, a must play. Don't listen to the mockingbirds repeating what others are crying about online. Thanks for this great starting out guide.
Exactly. I'm loving every bit of this game. The losers whining can just miss out in this masterpiece for all I care.
Is it though? People are valid for their opinions on micro transactions, not only that but the numerous performance issues is also a thing. I personally like my full priced games to include everything.
My man you say the honest truth i really don't understand why is the problem and i have heard people complaining because they want the game to be more like the games they like and play like for real they just want an excuse to do hate one of my classes mates say the same thing i was like if you don't like the game and you say is trash even before it came out the what in the world did you buy it 🤨 like for real people are just getting on my nerves if you don't like the game that's fine no everyone likes the same but don't come around hating the game for some stupid reason or even hating it if you not even have play it I just know i love it dragons dogma is my favorite game and now the second one is one my tops favorite 🤦🏻♀🤦🏻♀🤦🏻♀
It's about training you to accept them. It's also completely ridiculous you defend a game that doesn't run on MANY people's PC's. I noticed you didn't mention that at all. if this were a car we'd have a class action lawsuit against Capcom. When you buy a game for $70 & accept this, you open a huge door for the future for others.. Larian did it right with BG3.. Others need to learn from it & stop enabling garbage behavior from corporations.
@@CheebsCheebyexactly ! This game is fucking amazing
A little tip I've found. If you attack before you start to go into the freefall animation, it kinda disrupts the fall distance and gives you a few more inches to work with before splatting on the ground
ESO videos like these are why i love you, thankyou for going through & figuring all this out i appreciate the help you provide 😉
Literally did everything in this video, took me a good 2 hours but it was totally worth it, thank you Eso!
You need that fancy tunic and pants for a quest later on 🤣 hope you don't have to buy em back.
@@hurrdurrimaburrgood looking out dude. Back in the chest it goes.
@@darrensteele3365 Several quests actually. Man you earn so much gold in this game from just running around so it's barely worth selling em anyway.
On my way tomorow to do all of this too 😅
The stats on these items are not matching what I am finding(I am L9) and ratings on like the Marchers armor is about a quarter of what it is in this video, 71
Omg it’s been about a decade since I watched esos skyrim vids and the whole time I couldn’t shake the feeling of something so familiar till I finally realized it’s you! Quite obvious of course but still pleasant finding your content again
You can sell jasper and the other 2 gem types onyx and tiger eye for 2700 instead of the 800-900 you stated at 13:00 by reading their description and finding where the gem is not found
Always keep 5 of every item for upgrade purposes. Ok not every item. But gems for sure for final upgrades
Ya I heard don’t sell gems
Thank you ESO your videos are very helpful
I cannot but this damn game down man !!! It’s amazing
A tip. Use the "jewelers club". How? Buy a few tarred arrows. Go to the riftstone. Summon lvl 1 pawns. Check their Quest. They will be asking for one tarred arrow and giving 12 Onyx as a reward (usually). Hire. Give item. Receive 12 Onyx. Dismiss. Rinse and repeat. Do the same for others. No cheating, just the community of Arisens helping each other. 😉 Then go and buy whatever you want.
Awesome guide! Thanks so much for all your great tips vids on DD2
For that chest located at the top of the waterfall, you can reach it by having a fighter pawn with you and pressing "Go!" While looking at the rock and they will booster jump you up instead of having to go around the long way. Really helpful guide!
The fighter pawn needs to have a certain ability to toss you, but yes
FYI - Toss a set in your storage. You will need these for a main quest later and trust me, you won’t get any hints as to where to get this set.
Which?
You can still enjoy the games w/o making in game purchases. Have fun exploring.
You cant with a crap framerate though
@@elliotwatson3964 I don't have a crap framerate and my cpu is like 12 yrs old
The game is better than the first in terms of RC grind, and has microtransactions for no reason. I can also confirm that you get portcrystals in game just like the first one. People are blowing the microtransactions out of the water and claiming its pay to win. It doesn't even tell yo uthere are any microtransactions, and there is no in-game store at all! I didn't even know it had any until I opened youtube this morning.
The difference is the camping gear. It weighs less if you purchase them….. in a game where a couple tenths of a kg means the difference between fat rolling and dying or normal roll and escaping. I say just plan better and forget the issue altogether
@Glostahdude ahhh. I didn't know that, I pre-ordered which came with some of those, which apparently unlocks it as a purchaseable, and it does make a big difference. _That_ is annoying. Ngl, can't lie.
I am really enjoying DD2. I did not play DD1, so I did not know what to expect. Loving it so far. The game rewards you the more you explore.
If anyone is following this ESO guide for the first time and their first playthrough be very CAUTIOUS!! DON'T SELL THE COURTLY CLOTHES that you get in this guide. If you do you won't have any for the main quest towards the middle when you have to go to the private gathering. I almost had to spend $150,000 gold but I got lucky and found the very last pair in the game. So be very very CAUTIOUS!!!
There's multiple places you can get the courtly set in vernworth. I have found 4 sets and haven't even done the quest been focusing on maxing every vocation
I just hit 25 hours and I still haven't even left Vernworth yet...I just keep stumbling on more quests and more surprises 😭 This game is so massive 😭😭
I’m 8 hours in and I haven’t even got to Vernworth😂
Lmao i relate to you guys 😭😭
This is gonna be me.
Same, i keep saying that I'm going to do main quest but get sidetracked. Brilliant game
@@bigbotzone I just hope it's not the type were you can over level easily.
You can get a 2nd set of the expensive Courtly noble clothes. It's located inside the Masquerade Hall inside of a chest in one of the rooms.
Sven gives you a set through his questline also
I've got like 6 pairs lol
How much does it sell for?
ESO delivers again, great video!
You are the undisputed,RPG,master,you have the best,guids,of anybody,I've ever seen,thank you.
Having a blast playing this game. Thanks for the videos
Top video thanks, new sub earned! 👍🏽
You can also use fighter pawns to throw you up to higher places by looking at where you want to go and pressing “go”
Thanks for this man had no clue
Coo, I'll have to try that.
HaHa... What an Adventure! What Fun! Picked up Everything...took several days. Got a lot of Experience, fought a lot of foes near the end, Had to throw a Pawn into the Brine BC of Dragons Plague. Just arrived outside of the Capital. All my Pawns are whining bc we haven't slept for 3 days. WAAH! I wanted to thank You for the Vid. Well Done! Been a Subscriber since early Starfield. Appreciate You! Night Night.
Honesty haven’t even noticed micro transactions. So glad you’re making these vids already. ESO the legendary loot goblin showing us the way
Fun vocabulary lesson time. "Gaol", is just old timey spelling for "jail". Same pronunciation.
Very percypent of you!
That was super helpful thank you 🙏
ESO… you’re awesome!!! Keep it up because I’m only getting this game because of your tips!!
I’m hooked on this game man. So good!
I love that there are so many interiors to go into. I hate when games like rdr2 barely have any buildings you can go into.
I usually end up with better armor than the marchers just exploring. Occasionally big monsters drop armor pieces, got even better leggings any class can wear from killing a minotaur. Idk about PC, but it's a fairly popular piece people put on their pawns on PS5. Pretty sure people love it cause it shows off the legs. And I got a cool sorcerer staff killing a wight, wights in Dragon's Dogma are those levitating undead sorcerers. Better than any staff I've found around the first area shops and relatively easy to upgrade. Though playing on a alt account I noticed my main account is lucky with gear drops from bosses. As far as why alt accounts? It's something old Dragon's Dogma players did to farm rift crystals and don't have friends to use your pawn for you. Also to train pawns and see how OP we can make them at low levels, not through damage. But through training the pawn AI, they can be conditioned to never get hit and avoid or deflect all attacks. Training pawns is very tedious though and if it's like the first game it's best to have them unarmed so they just watch you fight. Like I said, tedious and it's also not necessary. But I think it helps people learn how to fight and die less often
Love how you used kratos in this video. Thats my ps5 character atm i made too loll
Great guide man
If you are just now finding this video because you just picked the game. He says you can sell the Jasper for 800 but I would suggest you put any jasper you find into storage. Later in the game you come to a place called bakbattahl and jasper is scarce there so they will pay 2800 gold for them.
Skyrim, Dragons Dogma 2, Baldurs Gate 3 in that order from ESO Danny :D
Love the game finished it already and had a blast doing it. Only problem I have with it is definitely enemy variety, there’s less then half the enemies that there were in the first game. Now it sounds like splitting hairs but honestly to me it matters I like to fight as many different types of bosses and other creatures as I can, but in this game I just fought the same thing over and over again. The ending was sick made up for the stale enemy variety and gameplay was good to, but idk man I think a couple more enemy types need to be added.
So you did like the secret ending and all that
@@elijahhanson5181 I enjoyed it, wasn’t what I expected it to be but was I pleasantly surprised, just upset that you technically can’t fight the final boss. What ending did you get?
I think he's referring to the secret endgame. Look up moxsy's video on his to unlock it.
Have you made a vid on getting one of the best shields in the castle vault since you dont need a key if you just follow the queen in it has high stats but also reflects medusas gaze i think i havent fought the medusa yet lmao
ESO always with the best guides..
Great tips as usual
The Courtly armour you can also get in the back end of the building the masquerade is hosted.
Ok u guys convinced me buyin it now!!🥳🥳🤣
Thank you for great content your explications are awesome 🎉🎉
FYI in the the royal chambers there's a wake stone shard there
when i found the marchers armour the stats were much lower ?
I’m gonna do a blind 1st playthrough I think. I always get hyper focused and 100% games…takes the fun out of it
NEED MORE DD2 CONTENT ASAP! PLEASE 🙏
amazing game and an amazing video! thanks ESO!
Good work battle brother!
The marchers armor set is ok since its rather light for the protection given however it lacks any elemental or debilitation resistances therefore IMO once you're ready to really venture out and start battling boss enemies (Griffon Golem etc) you're gonna want elemental resistance. Same against harpys and other creatures that can put you to sleep or set you ablaze.
That chuckle after reading the description of the cloak 🤣
I just had a pawn high give me after killing some goblins and I got SO excited
ESO great job keep it up
why is the armor only 98 for me it is worse than 99.9 of the armors in the game
You should buy the house so u don't gotta pay to rest anymore
I am really loving this game so far. Bought it for both pc and ps5. Havnt had any issues all. On pc running max settings with raytracing on and still hitting 240 fps. This game is dope im gonna make a series on it for sure
240!! do you have a nasa pc or somthing
Bro what lol how? My pc is no slouch but in the open world I get between 55-90 and in the capital city I get between 35ish-60
@@ChrisHMusic95he did a genocide on the NPCs 😢
@ChrisHMusic95 I was playing it and when I was done for the night I had my app game fps stats pop up with a graph of my fps and it was pretty much constant 240 fps
@@lecan1180 nah lol
Yeah it depends on what level you are when you get it because the armour was defense 80 for me
Save your jasper. It sells for higher somewhere else. All the gems if you read the description they say they are rarely seen in another place. If you sell them in that place the sell for alot more.
Save some for upgrades
I love it when the different regions or store types are different prices
My silver rapier that I picked up has significantly lower stats than what was showed in your video. Was yours upgraded, I wonder why it’s like that?
There's also an elevator you can take up to the birds watch in the castle and there's really good stuff up there too
There was another court set in the castle in the guest room
For that chest thats above the rock by the waterfall , if you have the springboard skill just springboard them up there and the pawns will open it. 👍
Great guide bro 👍💯
I accidentally got the dead ringer duospear early, my theif stole it of a dragon I didn’t kill… now I feel super op
You can also kill that dragon with a ballista that is close by. Hit it once and then reload, but wait for it to start flying away. Hit it again and it comes crashing down. Rinse and repeat. Recommend getting an inn save first or if you miss, immediately go back to title and reload auto save, should put you right back on the ox cart.
I love how you have the created laezel pawn
I'm not even playing this game but I like your accent lol
The only game that constantly rewards the player for being curious
Elden Ring does that too, it also kill you for being curious tho lol
@@lecan1180this game does kill you for being curious too😂
Very happy to know that everything in this video i found or did lol
This is a great start, I will warn people tho - don't sell all off the Courtly Tunics as you will need these for later missions, and to buy them back it's like 150k, Good Luck Arisen.
Bro this game is addicting 😅
This game is fantastic
if you wear the courtly gear, you can be anywhere in the castle and castle grounds at night, just do not go uo the main castle door, guards can get aggro
Yes allot of things said about microtransactions is bad shouldn't be there but the game is amazing great combat char sizes determine the weigth/stamina recovery only sad thing that in the towns fps just drops hopefully it gets fixed in the later months
Awesome guide!
I would recommend not selling your jasper and instead keep it for later because in the second area it sells for 2400 each
Amazing video
ESO great video as usual. What could make it better? I know all your DD2 videos you should speak in ye olde english.
Also if you wear the Marcher's set and go into the castle / jail at night the guards won't attack you since you look like a guard
Just curious do these chests refresh after a save like in Enshrouded?
In castle missions in the main story guards won’t agro if your wearing the marchers set
Just make sure you keep at least 1 set of courtly clothes around because you will definitely need them for parts of the main quest.
Hey friends if you fall down half way on the last run of the aqueduct, there 3k Gold in a Harpies nest, I attacked the beasts instead of running through and fell off but landing on the lower tier and found the gold!
Thanks for the tips love the DD content
What if you take them to an opposite city on the map, as far away as possible and try to sell? Does the price for selling going way up like when you take apples, grapes, and gems to places where they are rare?
Thanks!
Thanks for the tips on looting the capitol, Danny. Imagine if that's what it was really like moving to the big City. Crazy to walk into a house and steal from the NPCs while they stand their saying their one favorite line. I hope this game has long legs and you get years of content out of it.
“Gaol” is pronounced like “jail” it’s how they used to spell it in the old days
You just solve me a quest with this hahaha i need to know about a gem and one pawn said that he might someone on thr "goal" that can help and i didnt know what the hell was that now im gonna go to the jail and see what i can find hahaha
@@allansolano5587 how’d you go?
First time seeing this mans face or watching a video of his… But he could literally be a character in this game and voice it himself 🤣😁 If you’ve played, you know
The fluted bow IS the one at the start if you pick archer
The game is AWESOME. Finally, a good medieval fantasy RPG between TES/TW/DA releases.... They should release a performance patch anyway...
When can you do this? I just got into Brans Quests, Monster Culling in Vermund. Can I do this now?
I'm guessing someone has said this but "gaol" is pronouced "jail" in this instance.
I am very happy that I watched this video I fully intend to buy this game it looks amazing my only question and really also concerned is is it available on Xbox series x I recently found out that I can't play stellar blade on Xbox at least right now which sucks haha does anybody know
Bro. How about typing "Dragons Dogma 2 Xbox" into your search field. Would have been way faster than posting this comment and waiting for an answer.
So basically I just need to explore the entire city lol
That’s the fun right..
Basically explore every nook and cranny in the game, there’s always something there😂
that first armor set was worse the the missionary robe lol
I was not expecting to see laezel as one of your companions😂
Here’s a tip I learned that nobody has mentioned when you die instead of hitting start from last save and loosing a portion of your hp pool go back to the tittle screen instead then load last save and u won’t have lost hp every time
Awesome game, over 80 h played, never even opened the shop, i m having more fun than even in Elden Ring, which is not easy to surpass, my only serious complain is the 1 save file.
Thanks
2:58 "It's a cape granted to those who have proven their loyalty to the kingdom, and we just stole it" A very literal instance of "stolen valor" 😂
Do NOT sell all Marchers armor and all Courtly Tunic and Pants. You will need the Tunic and Pants, and the Marchers armor allows you to walk around the castle at night WITHOUT needing to stealth.
Love these tips videos when game doesn't even run!
