Capcom Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen

I know, that's the main reason I didn't bother.

 

I avoided every pawn that was using the free DLC items, seemed far too much like cheating.

 

I'm still mad that you can get an extremely strong greatsword at the beginning of the game (it out-damages anything I can buy from Caxton even after giving him the Gold Idol, for example), but only shit-tier bows until well past mid-game, unless you get lucky; you can get a Hunter's Bow from the Tumblr bandits fort as I've since discovered. Pretty sure you're fucked on longbows, though.

 

I accidently finished the game. Can I just start over and go directly to BBI - as soon as the game allows - and ignore the story this time around?

 

Yes.

*** enhanced rusted bow/longbow procs torpor and the damage isn't so much worse than the other crappy bows you can get before postgame/BBI, so if you just want to minor in bows that's what I did with my 'sassin.

 

I discarded all that crap items like eternal ferrystone, those weapons and armors etc.

all of them (aside from eternal ferrystone) you can get in game i think.

 

Helpfulness:

 

While this is more or less true, you can also get stupidly powerful arrows extremely early in the game. Blast arrows will wreck the shit out of pretty much anything before BBI, and sleep arrows are amazing vs anything they work on, basically letting you chain stun them to death. Nevermind petrification arrows, which can let you murder garms right off the bat and jump ahead 50 levels at once. Or the maker's finger if you want to be REALLY cheesy.

 

You just couldn't handle her "true Codexer" attitude.

 

Looking through them now that I've maxed the vocation, literally every single Assassin augment is shit. Preemption (basically sneak attack) might not be shit, except actually it is, because it's reportedly bugged. Toxicity might not be shit if it increased the lethality of poisons, but despite its description it insteadly vastly increases the odds of inflicting poison... but poison would take seven years to tickle something to death past mid-game.

Also, Gale Harness is fun and useful, but the six-second cast time is ridiculous because I could have killed six enemies in that time. It's good if you see stuff a ways off, though.

 

Blaine you should switch for a couple of levels to warrior and fighter, they have some pretty good choices to carry over staring with the warriors +50 armor, I even got that for my sorcerer and it gives a bit on extra protection especially for start mid game because good protection for the assassin is a bit rare, as well as some extra damage and health boosts

 

It took me awhile to figure out what to do with low level friend pawns. Finally, I found an adversary worthy of their contributions!

I played for 25 levels as a fighter and about 15 as a warrior, 10+ as Assassin so far, so I have pretty nice balance going on except for Stamina which is a bit low... although Stamina doesn't seem to regenerate any faster when you have a lot of it, requiring consumables during any tough fight. God bless Liquid Vim.

I'm probably going to play Strider for a while to get the augments and a bit of extra Stamina. I don't think Ranger has much of anything I can use elsewhere, and Lyncean Eye is more than adequate for sniping (Assassin really can do everything except magic/AoE).

There's an entire system in place to determine how many rift crystals the rented pawn's owner receives, outlined in the rift crystals article on the Wiki. It's all based on character level and the XP received from slaying monsters, and yours will probably get a lot of bonuses since it's the highest-level character in my party.

Mine will probably get a lot of penalties since it's being "carried," so if you could just go ahead and farm some Gorecyclops, that would be great.

 

Ranger augments are fairly self contained. The magic boosting ones (attunement and acuity) can actually be useful, depending on what you're using/fighting, since the magic stat will boost your permanently enchanted weapons, even as an assassin. Otherwise, you pretty much just want stuff from fighter, warrior and strider. It requires an investment in mage and sorceror though, but magic boosts aren't terrible to have, especially if you want to vocation flip without starting over later.

 

This is a reason why you can equip "worse" version of previous skills. Usually upgraded ones quickly takes out your stamina unless you are low level.

Hahaha your fault Blaine for falling for the foreign girl, I am thinking of giving it to someone more deserving of beign my waifu

 

That's all right, because soon after she lost a duel to a faggot; then I rescued m'lady in distress from a dank castle and tasted of her charms like a true medieval patriarch.

 

More of the witchy underage looking waifu myself

 

I fucked up and got Julien as my beloved.

Suffice it to say he was forced to try cliff diving soon afterwards.

 

You know not what is true pain. In vanilla, odds were the blacksmith became your beloved.

 

In the epilogue Symone (the fatass noble's little daughter) was treated as the beloved of my character

 

I had Fournival in vanilla.

 

All worth biowarian options, medieval wood dildos for everybody!

 

So, i have a question. Im in bitterblack, have unlocked 2 shortcuts, and reached Demon looking guy which looks like the final boss in the bitterblack sanctum. And here goes my question, i can't do shit to him right now, is there a shortcut or something near? The last shortcut i opened was like 3 floors above i dunno.
