5 More Dragon's Dogma 2 Beginner Tips (Again)
Yep, I'll keep these posts coming until I get sick of Dragon's Dogma 2. So, here are 5 EVEN more Dragon's Dogma 2 Beginner Tips for you!
I just can’t stop playing Dragon’s Dogma 2, and I can’t stop writing about it as well! I noticed a few things that people don’t really care to use a lot when playing, and I don’t blame them! Some of these go under the radar or just things that don’t come along as normal for first-time Dragon’s Dogma players.
I already made two beginner tips posts for Dragon’s Dogma 2 and here is the third, enjoy!
You don’t spend Stamina running in Towns
Running around in the wild can be tiring and annoying, especially when you are carrying tons of items. Some of the people I’ve seen playing don’t seem to notice this but you can actually run around endlessly inside towns or safe zones in Dragon’s Dogma 2!
This is true regardless of your current inventory weight. However, your jump height will still be affected by the weight of your inventory.
So, feel free to run around Melve, Vernworth, and any other safe locations.
After depleting your stamina, use stamina items to quickly regain the ability to run or remove the walking debuff.
So you’re having trouble maintaining your stamina out in the wilds, use consumables to quickly regain stamina and be able to move fast again.
This may come as a common sense move but players tend to hoard items because they want to “save it” for important moments. Well, important moments do come but not as often as exhausting yourselves running, using multiple combat skills, or holding onto monsters.
Stamina is just as important as your health bar, so keeping enough to let yourself evade attacks or cling to the enemy is very important. This is even more significant if you need to stay on Griffins or Harpies that can fly above as falling down can lead to certain death.
Materials to create stamina items also come around a lot so don’t treat them as rare items.
Pawns can also replenish your Stamina.
If you don’t want to use consumables, you may also rely on your Pawns to give your Stamina back. When you expend all your Stamina, Pawns can come close to you and “Cheer Up” your Arisen.
Doing this will partially replenish your Stamina and immediately let you run instead of staggering around.
You may also do this to Pawns who are exhausted, so feel free to help each other out when in need.
Pawns can guide you to Quests.
Most first-time Dragon’s Dogma gamers underestimate just how smart Pawns are. I will dedicate a post for Pawns but here is a quick one just for you. Pawns can guide you to quests.
Sometimes, your Pawns will offer their assistance by leading you to the quest location or NPC. While some Pawns will immediately try to lead you on, others will offer and wait for your confirmation.
If they wait for your confirmation, you can accept their offer and prompt them to lead you by selecting the "Go!" command. The Pawn offering to lead you on will go towards the quest location or NPC and wait for you if you fall behind or stop. Pawns that are trying to lead you will have an open palm symbol beside their name.
Use Combat Skills to get past obstacles or reach high places.
Getting around obstacles and uneven terrain can be a hindrance when dealing with monsters, completing quests, or getting to treasure chests. Sometimes, Pawns can even get stuck while trying to lead you somewhere.
In these cases, you can be a lot more creative with your movement by using combat skills to get past obstacles or reach high places.
There are a lot of aerial moves or dash abilities in Dragon’s Dogma 2, and you can use them outside combat.
So, experiment with your abilities and see if you can get creative while exploring Dragon’s Dogma 2.
