Dragon's Dogma 2 tips and basics

As I've said, Dragon's Dogma 2 is hardly a simple game and feels like it throws you in at the RPG deep end at times, so knowing the basics is key. Start off with our Dragon's Dogma 2 tips for some things we wish we knew when starting the Arisen's quest. When you're creating your character, you'll be pleased to know that you can change your appearance in Dragon's Dogma 2, though it's not an especially simple process and you need a particular book item to do it.

Early in the game, you'll also be shown the perils of water and the Brine that lurks within, so be sure you know how to cross water in Dragon's Dogma 2 to save you and your Pawns any trouble. If things do go awry in water or combat, you should know about reloading and how to save in Dragon's Dogma 2, as it's very important to understand so that you don't lose or overwrite your progress.

Vocations are Dragon's Dogma 2's version of classes, with each one offering a unique fighting style and access to certain weapons, armor, skills, and augments for you to create a build with. For a general overview, you can read our Dragon's Dogma 2 Vocations guide to learn how to get all 10 of them, what they do, and which ones are best. The Dragon's Dogma 2 Mystic Spearhand is one of the best ones and you can get it pretty early in the game, so we've written a separate guide for that.

Dragon's Dogma 2 exploration

Dragon's Dogma 2 takes place in a huge world, mainly focusing on the kingdoms of Vermund and Battahl. With no mounts, you'll spend a lot of time on foot, which can make travel quite a slog, and your options for Dragon's Dogma 2 fast travel are limited too. However, as you're wandering around, your Pawns will no doubt start pointing things out to you, marking them with a Dragon's Dogma 2 exclamation mark that might be worth your attention.

Once you've got through a significant chunk of the main quest in Vermund and specifically the capital city of Vernworth, you'll be tasked with getting into the region of Battahl in Dragon's Dogma 2, which isn't as straightforward as just walking there, requiring a permit or knowledge of a treacherous path.

Dragon's Dogma 2 secrets and mysteries

With such a massive world packed with quests, there are plenty of secrets, mysteries, puzzles, and obscure quests and items that you'll stumble across and might be left stumped by. Here's a list of some of the headscratchers we've found in the game:

  • Dragon's Dogma 2 Sphinx riddles are part of a long quest with the Sphinx at the Mountain Shrine, but lots of great rewards are up for grabs.
  • The infamous Dragon's Dogma 2 Dragonsplague disease can affect Pawns and could have dire consequences if left untreated. While it is quite rare, make sure you know how to deal with the deadly disease.
  • The Dragon's Dogma 2 Flamebearer Palace Spellseal Door blocks off a path to the Volcanic Island area of the map, but it also leads to the Dragon's Dogma 2 Guardian Gigantus boss fight.
  • Dragon's Dogma 2 Dwarven Smithing is one of the few types of weapon smithing, but unlocking this type requires you to complete a long and complicated series of quests.
  • Dragon's Dogma 2 Newt liqueur is an item necessary to unlocking the Warfarer Vocation that can either be crafted or bought.
  • The Dragon's Dogma 2 Jasper, Onyx, and Tiger Eye gemstones aren't much of a mystery but they can be sold in different areas for higher prices, so don't sell them to the first merchant you see.
