and then they start neglecting or giving little importance to the Pawn systems and their AI. After all, if everyone is playing cooperatively with friends, why would they invest time and money to improve the Pawn system?

So back when DD2DA was announced I was very hyped that I ended up starting a new save (before I learned the news they're adding save slots to the game...)

Anyways I'm nearing lvl 70 and starting to dragon forge my gears, should I start Norgan or just continue with unmoored and head to Norgan on NG+?

Who needs a dragonsplagued Pawn? Got three times in the last 4 days...

Hello people, hope y'all are doing alright.

So, I decided to finish my 250h playthrough yesterday and now I'm ready to begin my permadeath run just like I did in the first game, but there's something bothering me. In the previous game wakestones were kinda hard to come by outside the everfall so I allowed myself to use them because it's part of the lore and everything, but in DD2 it is incredibly easy to find them especially with the DLC. By this logic I technically already did a permadeath run since I didn't die in my first playthrough but I did use 9 wakestones mostly because of death by gravity. However, I still have like 5 on this character and another 15 stored in my chest and this is bothering me so much, it is so easy to get wakestones in this game. Would you guys consider a permadeath run using wakestones to be valid?

I also used to have a few rules and I want some ideas for new ones. Here's some I can remember right now.

• Main Pawn only (But I also allowed myself to use Rook sometimes)

• Male characters could only use melee focused vocations while female characters could only use ranged vocations.

• No endgame gear

• No eternal ferrystone

• No HUD (this is already something I don't use in every game I play but some people do consider this to be a challenge so...)

And of course the default difficulty is always hardmode. I would love to see some of your ideas. Thank you!

the game is so incredibly easy i cannot believe hardmode is turned on. does this mean hardmode only applies in NG+? i started my campaign on hardmode but the game really is a cakewalk, frustratingly so. if hardmode is actually applied are there any mods that make the game more challenging? i'm sick of 1 tapping everything and not getting to interact with the actual combat mechanics.

I played Dragon's Dogma 2 briefly at launch but just didn't love it, I kinda got tired of killing the same lizard enemies over and over again. If I remember correctly if you had a full Pawn regiment the game was very easy and I was playing with just my main character and Main Pawn to make it challenging. So is the new hard mode brutally unplayable, or with a full Pawn contingent is it now actually challenging? I hope it's challenging but at least playable, I like games to be brutally difficult but not to the point where you literally can't play it because everything one shots you

What are you doing? My pawn literally has his shield on his back in the middle of the fight and surprisingly got grabbed 🤣

How to avoid this attack correctly?

Not really a speed run, just thought it'd be funny if I could 1-2 shot Satanachia with Archer's Heavenly Shot.

This is the fruit of the funny rabbit hole I've been going down the past few days. Was reminded that Heavenly Shot scaled off stamina used so.. I wanted to see how much of the game I could one-shot on hard mode.

I'm off the mark by about 30% more damage to actually one-shot it. I don't know where I could even get that from so this is where I'm stopping the attempts. I might sew all the other monster one-shots together for a reel later.

Aged Beast Steak + Orienteer + Savagery Extract used.

This is with about 5k stamina using Gigantus' Vim Plus on helm and Stamina 3 Boost on chest and pants. Rings are Predominance and Wicked Gore.

Weapon is Battle Frenzy 4 Plus and Critical Shot.

Finding out that infinite stamina options actually seem to nerf the Heavenly Shot damage? I guess if 'no stamina is being consumed' counts as the skill having no stamina to scale off of?

I need it for the Sphinx and have no clue where I found the first Seeker's Token. I've looked in a bunch of spots but no joy. Am on PS5. Thanks Pawn ID: TEGVQD61W79P - Frina

Finished the dlc farmed the final boss repeatedly I think my pawn is ready to help out my fellow arisen hire if you like

Kinda new here and got stumped by the Sphinx quest. Imo one of the worst fetch quests imaginable. Didn't know it was a hard requirement to remember the exact location of your very first Seeker's Token in order to get the achievement :(

I need the finder's token if anyone can help me It'd be great! Thank u so much!

I’ve also left the quest as a Norgan giant with 3 regen elixers as a reward. Thanks

If anyone is looking for some pawns to take on an adventure, feel free to take mine.

All on PS5. All got Dark Arisen 2 Weapons, and most have gear (except Morrigan, yet).

Even though Leliana and Shadowheart are pretty low level, I've taken them through the whole DLC with few problems. Including facing the Empowered Thane of Darkness

I'm not looking for anything in return. I just want to share my creations. Information is all in the image.

(I have no idea how I can post all 6 IDs in my title without making 6 different posts. But if this isn't allowed, please remove, with my apologies)

Can I still be op if I don't bother min maxing? I want to jump back into DD2 on a fresh playthrough for Dark Arisen 2 and I want to go magic archer this time but i'm wondering if the release of Dark Arisen 2 has changed anything regarding whether or not it's worth min maxing.

You think Capcom is gonna start doing more for the IP since Dark Arisen 2 has been received so well or do you think it’s gonna be a repeat of last time and they’re just gonna forget about the series for the next 11+ years before giving us something new? Personally I hope that doesn’t happen cuz in my opinion this series deserves as much love as Monster Hunter. It feels like such a waste that in 11 years, we only have three games and you can’t even play Dragon’s Dogma Online anymore using normal methods.
