I'm pretty sure i just banished a dragon to the nothingess of noclip hell... walked up the north road out of GS towards the drake that resides there post game and he was clipped into the ground... a few arrows gets his attention.. Quest Starts... he flys towards me and I 6fold his face.. instantly staggering him and sending him to the floor.

Then through it.

Then gone.

Triumph music plays. No quest complete. No exp or DF'd gear.

wat.


I'll post again later.. hopefully to drop some pics of me casually beasting on a white hydra. Another one of those Moments. When you casually realize you are playing solo ... without fear... in the everfall against a boss of bosses. And all his stupid heads are on the ground squirming post neck detachment.

Game of my forever. The sequel has no right to be anything short of legendary.

Haha, the glitchy flying dragon happened to me too, but I got two items dragonforged, woo!

[Laughing Banana]

Use a Magick Archer, Strider, Ranger, or Assassin with Six/Tenfold whatever and you'll be done in 3 minutes. Drink a Liquid Vim and pelt the Lich with Six/Tenfolds, then the Hellhounds, Chimera, and finally the GoreChimera. Only time I've ever had a problem in that fight was when I was a class that didn't have a bow.

If you are a Magick Archer than this is horrible advice seeing that the undead is highly resistant to Ice :p

Is there any "sidequest list" available somewhere out there? I am replaying this game currently as an Assassin and it would be nice to have a handy list like that.

Oh and, is there anyway to turn off the "panting sound" of the Arisen when he is running around? It's not really a big deal but the frequency of it starts getting on my nerves.

Haha, the glitchy flying dragon happened to me too, but I got two items dragonforged, woo!

I once fought the Drake in the Devilfire Grove and after a long, hard-fought battle, of all the things to get Dragonforged in my character... Worker Pants got the honor :\

[Anuxinamoon]

I think the seeker/hunter bolts are holy though... Maybe that's what he meant? xD

[RyanardoDaVinci]

Huh, didn't know that. They've always gone down easily enough with that attack though.

The best advice for any difficult fight though, is to do: Ranger > Tenfold Flurry. Nothing stands a chance. :p

[maomaoIYP]

A high leveled sorc can instant kill the wight and chimera with a single holy enchanced focused bolt when getting the preemptive strike. The same can wipe out the lion and the snake of the gorechimera.

Tenfold + Blast Arrows + Bloodlust + Autonomy

I said wow

[Recall]

I've just picked up the game, for my first character I'm thinking of either Ranger or Magick Archer. Any advice for first timers as it seems it is a difficult game if you don't keep on top of things?

Some tips:

1. Always carry Skeleton Keys (combine Shackle + Hunk of Ore or buy them from the Black Cat at Gran Soren).

2. Inspect Pawns before you rent them, because a lot of people forget to add skills after they change their Pawn's vocation.

3. Don't rush through the game, take your time.

4. A balanced party of Pawns is the key to great success in battles.

5. Hit it until it dies.

And be sure to experiment with some of the other vocations - they may have an augment to your liking. Augments carry over from vocation to vocation, so keep that in mind.

[MrWisker]

and he was clipped into the ground...

I was once walking a path and my Arisen fell through into nothingness. I thought I was going to have to reload losing an hours worth of work and then all of a sudden I appear back on the path further down the road.

I figured Capcom programmed into the game a safety measure in case your character clipped into the void.

[Tricky I Shadow]

Just fought this bad boy for the first time:



Epic!

[ElyrionX]

I've got a fire enchanted dagger. If a mage casts Ice Affinity on me, will my attacks do Fire or Ice damage? Or will they do both?

[Laughing Banana]

Ice will override fire, I believe.

[R_thanatos]

Ice will override fire, I believe.

Yep the enchantment has priority for damages ...

A fire dagger will do lot of damages to hellhounds if enchanted by a ice spell....

[Anuxinamoon]

Sweet my dragons dogma guide book arrived today. Time to scour through it and reveal all the hidden things I have missed.

Oh well there is always new game ++ right!?

[Augemitbutter]

still waiting for a nice artbook release.

[maomaoIYP]

still waiting for a nice artbook release.

Maybe in about a year or so? Official artbooks take a long time to come out after a game has been released....For example the Soulcalibur 5 artbook just came out recently.

it varies, but you're right. 4-12 months are normal.

[miladesn]

GREAT NEWS! They are patching what everyone's been asking for! EASY MODE





lol -_-

[Augemitbutter]

is that a joke? please, someone tell them to patch in hard mode instead. what a disgrace.

[miladesn]

I very rarely post jokes :|

Capcom will be making Drgaon's Dogma more accessible to beginner players with an upcoming patch that adds an "easy mode" to the game. An update due on August 6 will add easy mode to the options menu, allowing you to switch to easy whenever you like.

new demo too.

[deim0s]

Just read that too.

I'm like WTF!?

They should've added "Hard" mode while they're at it.

[Anteater]

here http://andriasang.com/con23u/dragons_dogma_patch/

..... oh my fucking god, are you kidding me!?

[Dresden]

Man, we've been asking for Hard Mode, not this. :/

I get a feeling this is just a taste of what to expect in whatever sequel we get.

[Anteater]

That pretty much proves capcom is completely oblivious, I mean one of their highest reviews even mentioned the game being too easy outside of postgame and hoping they'd patch in a hard mode. Everyone even said the demo was a cakewalk :(

[R_thanatos]

easy mode ???

ROFL

HARD MODE CAPCOM !!!

There are too many ways to break your game difficulty !!!

[Darkone]

What will i be missing if i play this game with no PSN connection?

[drakkykun]

Oh, Capcom. You never cease to amaze me. In the wrong way.

[maomaoIYP]

You cannot hire pawns from real players on the network....that's really about it. The game has CPU made pawns for you to hire.

[itzknickknac]

still waiting for a nice artbook release.

Is this confirmed? I wouldn't mind getting this. I'd REALLY like a soundtrack though.

I very rarely post jokes :| here http://andriasang.com/con23u/dragons_dogma_patch/ new demo too.

Lol.. cmon capcom. We don't even need "Hard Mode", we need "Beast Mode." And a patch with more big monsters. I like the idea of learning how to take down big things.

[Tricky I Shadow]

OH. MY. GOD. I just got the skill that lets you be engulfed in flames.

[WickedLaharl]

GREAT NEWS! They are patching what everyone's been asking for! EASY MODE lol -_-

Capcom has mishandled this game so badly.

[Chairhome]

seeing how poorly the game did outside of Japan, I can see why they did it. They'd rather bring in more players than cater to people who have already bought it. Business decision. Maybe they can still do Hard mode down the line.

[Recall]

So I've put about 2 hours into it so far. Is there a fast travel system? The game feels like a weird mash of dragon age and dark souls, I'm having fun but feel I've missed some key element or game mechanic.

Like why do pawns pick up shit and I don't know how to give it myself so I can use those items for an enhancement, feel like I've missed a pawn related tool tip somewhere. Also I really wish there was damage numbers popping up over enemy heads, just because it's the type of feedback I like :)

Do like it though and It feels quite challenging as everything is doung plenty of damage and I've yet to find a good way to evade attacks but I'm sure I'll figure it out soon enough.

[Xevren]

Easy mode, just wow Capcom.

There's a fast travel but you need port crystals which you really only get 1 of them in the first playthrough, though you could ask someone to gift them to you on the web, they could gift through the pawn system (they could be bought at an expensive price in new game+), otherwise you could buy warp stones that warp you back to gran soren.

The merchant will automatically pull materials out of your inventory and storage for weapons/armors enchantment so just toss them all into the storage at the inn, pawns picking up stuff is based on their personality (inclination), which you could adjust at the chair at the inn and camps.

[earvcunanan]

You won't be able to rent updated Pawns from other players, and they won't be able to rent yours. Can't send/receive gifts from others.

[itzknickknac]

I very rarely post jokes :| here http://andriasang.com/con23u/dragons_dogma_patch/ new demo too.

At first, when I heard about an "easy mode" I was like.. cmon capcom. But then I read someones comment at the website, they mention that his lil brother (6 y.o) will now be able to play with "easy mode." So, I guess that's one good use for that.

I would like a hard mode though.

[Augemitbutter]

Is this confirmed? I wouldn't mind getting this. I'd REALLY like a soundtrack though.

artbook is not confirmed afaik. you can buy the soundtrack at import stores/sites already.

[Kolgar]

Finally completed the game last night. Wooowww. One-hundred and forty-three hours of gaming nirvana right there. This game hit all the right notes with me. Despite the low-key story, I actually found it more engaging than other games that purport to be story-driven. I grew attached to my main character, to my main pawn, and even to some of the friendly pawns I hired along the way.

Great, great ending credits, too. Really liked the style with which they were done.

Again, my game of the forever.

[Bootaaay]

So, do quests in this game have any indication of how difficult they are before you set out on them? I've been getting my ass kicked a lot, and just now I was escorting Mercedes to the Shadow Tower, an area I had yet to travel to, and everything was going fine, right up until a chimera jumped on her, lol. So yeah, she died, mission failed. I'll make a note to only accept escort missions for areas I've already been to in the future. Also, is there any way to heal characters you're escorting? I couldn't find a way to give herbs to her, and my pawn mage seems reluctant to ever use healing spells, guess I got the wrong sort of mage?

Still, minor frustrations aside, I'm really enjoying this game so far. The initial demo failed to sell me, but I'm glad I picked up the game in the end, as it's a lot of fun. I love the tone, the atmosphere, the presentation, the art style and the music, and while the combat could be tighter (see Kingdoms of Amalur), I'm really enjoying the pawn mechanic for combat.

No ..the difficulty is in the area you're meant to go while doing those quests ...
In a way that's a problem because you don't know untill you try ..
Fortunatly there are only a few downsides to death while exploring so most people are fine.

My biggest problem with the game is that you don't know how the quests are affecting each other..
You can have some cancelled quest out of the blue if you go to the everfall to fast and this Will block many other things in the rest of the game ...

How does fighting the Ur-Dragon work when offline? I managed to shave off half his health bar before he ran off; the next time I meet him (offline), do I continue on his depleted health bar, or will I have to fight him from scratch?

What level are you? I have been waiting to take on the Offline Ur-Dragon until I "complete" all the levels in Everfall. I am currently around level 62 right now and I am not sure what level I should be at before I even try the Ur-Dragon.

Uhm, I'm a bit unsure, I think level 82. But my pawns are über, one's lvl. 92 and the other one's lvl. Infinity (thanks Dave1988 <3).

I think once you reach level cap, your level is infinity. I haven't goten there yet so I'm not sure myself.
