Great content sir. I am 69 years old and retired. You made me have a great time with BG3 and now you are helping me with this game, which I am just starting out but struggling. I appreciate your help videos. Keep them coming and stay safe.
This is the coolest comment thank you so much. I'm glad to have helped you through now TWO games :) I hope I'm as bad ass as you when I grow up.... If I ever do hahahah
Best storage tip!!! When you are out in the world and find a pawn summoning rift. You can pack a pawn with everything you want to send to storage and then kick them out. All off that will go to your storage
Thanks! Have a coffee on me. Your videos have helped me with Diablo 4, BG 3, and now DD2. I am amazed you can cover so many games and still deliver top quality content. You do a great job delivering content concisely, but still make it interesting. Thanks again.
Oh bro this is so kind of you! thank you so much man!! I'll get a starbucks tomorrow in your honor - a treat I rarely afford myself because I'm addicted to gamer preworkout hahaha. D4 season 4 is looking REALLLLLY juicy, so we might be dipping back into that :)
Some of the best explanations around! And yes there are quite a few 60+ gamers running around...we were gaming before most of today's gamers were born...
The last tip was really clutch. I discovered the divine salon by accident and was surprised she gave m help but I didn’t know it. Now you can really immerse yourself without having to watch too many guide videos (unless needed)
Wow, best beginners guide! Im about 30 hours in and dont know any of this, and thats after watching like 10 beginners guides. Professional, well spoken, no nonsense, great content!
I didn't even notice the ring on the map scree that tells what time of day it is. I just defaulted to reading the sky like I've been doing so long in the first game. 😆
Also, if you go to the quests and you see a hand logo on it (main pawn I or II), it means they know where it is or who you're going to and will lead you to it. It will save you ample time when your recruited pawn is more knowledgeable
Very nice tips. One tip I would offer, that is sort of exploitive and has worked every time I've used it. When you are reduced to 0 HP but before the pop-up screen of use a wake stone or load to last save, you can pause the game and eat your curatives so that you're not 0 HP and the game will think you never died.
Part of me thinks it’s an intentional feature, cause once I got to the endgame it stopped working. Granted they do warn that we don’t have “protection” anymore at that point
I love your videos Spartacus! By far my fav RUclipsr rn. You’re so responsive on stream, so upfront in all your videos and overall just a stand up guy who doesn’t tolerate unnecessary drama You’re the best!
Best tip: just explore and loot. After getting the mystic spearhand i didn't touch a quest and just went exploring. Now i am level 24,vocation rank 8 and a lot of great weapon and core skills. I upgraded my gear, bought a house and I am strong. All just by freeroaming, exploring and fighting enemies underway.
Pro tip, having less than 4 skills on a pawn can actually be a good thing if there is only a couple skills you really want them to use. Such as helm splitter on theif
Just like you are utilizing the "Go!" command, you should utilize the "Help me!" command also..... This seem to force all the pawns to start taunting and roaring at everything in sight, setting you up with pre heals and buffs at the same time. I've noticed that running around with "Help me!" on seems more legit than the other ones. I have yet to look on all the inclinations and what they are doing or prioritizing first (like how do i make it so mages prioritize casting Palladium instead of fire weapons) but i know for a fact that Calm is horrible use on archers.... Since the AI gets kind of ret*rded and runs around repositioning himself out of danger most of the time instead of attacking anything at all! Also another really cool tip! You can raise the visor on helmets in the equipment menu when you have it on
didnt expect this to be as useful as it is thanks man!!! went into this expecting combat stuff i already knew but it was actually good tips for UI and stuff
Hey, thanks so much for all the tips. I've only started on DD2 this week and learning as I go. Always wondered what the heart and the hand icons were about and you explained it so clearly. And the tips on pawn selection, that's awesome. Looks like I may have to restart my game LOL
Whoa, I really thought you'd be delving into each vocations after the last video, but I guess new players mean lower entry level. Man straight up put up a gg video.
Between this game and baldurs gate I’m so happy I found your channel, I can even go back and build new diablo characters, your channel is the best dude!
A very pleasant surprise to find you've done Dragon's Dogma videos. Your Crusader Kings 3 content is among the very best on RUclips. Great video here, so refreshing to see a guide that is actually useful instead of the usual THINGS YOU MUST DO RIGHT NOW!!!! crap. Great video, liked and shared.
@@italianspartacus also there's two caves that lead to battahl. So you're not locked out by the story. The easiest to find is found by following the river that goes under the bridge of the vermund border checkpoint town. The other is in southwest vermund. Medusa is in battahl. I won't say where the the NPCs can lead you on the right path if you take the time to listen.
Woah, woah, woah, how did you get your pawn to actually use their throwing skill near the cliff at 11:14? I've tried pointing go at a spot like that and it never worked. Please tell me, I despise leaving chests unopened.
Your videos are awesome. Really appreciate you presenting the main points up front within the first two minutes or so. Also, I have a full size aussie. They are the best dogs!
This game taught me how to enjoy video games again When I fail a quest and there’s no way of reloading To retry it Really frustrated me at first but I get it now It’s just part of my journey in the game So I just played the game and what happens happens
@@dgjacobs80 i’m basically trying to say the fact that you can’t constantly reload a save Makes it a bit more more exciting because if you don’t succeed that’s it… tell your next play for at least.
I understand exactly what you mean. It can get overwhelming sometimes wanting to get everything or make things happen the way you want or should. And you don't realize that the desire to do things right sometimes overshadows the fun, because you are worried about messing up
this guy deserves way more subs then 270k by far the best guides on youtube easy followable and very clear keep it up way better then some of these other cringe channels who yell and act like a 10 year old
I was on the fence about this game because of the frame rate, got it after multiple patches it's running like 40 FPS on the PS5 right now and it plays quick loving this game so far right up my alley
My pro tip: aIn the beginning, to get a set of “free” gear- when you get to the first guild hall, where you can pick a new vocation, have your pawn pick up the vocation you’re using and they’ll get a free set of gear to start! I went through probably 15 hours of gameplay before I found a pair of pants to replace my potato sacks, and once i figured this out I face palmed so hard.
16:58 - items on your pawns don't get sent to your storage unless they are sent packing and dismissed from your party. They can die over and over again, but when you revive them, they'll retain all items they had before their death 😉
One thing about the broken riftcrystalls and how u can use them is that they are an eazy way to send things to ur storage since they apear quite frequently just put evrything one the Pawn u gonna swap out and it all goes to storage very good if u just wanna keep on staying out and clearing the map also rember to look for though the pawn quest since u can earn even more gold doing this simultaneously
Earned a subscriber. Really informative and really helpful. I didn't play the first Dragon's Dogma so I was a little lost and this really helps. Thank you!
I didn't realize the weapons and armor enchantment vendors in different areas gave different results until about 20hrs in. You can copy monster material successfully.
Cheers, I have put in over 30 hours and was wondering if there was any way of knowing how close night before heading out on an adventure. Thank you for that tip
There's a stack limit of 99 in the storage, that bugged me because I couldn't figure out why it had space but wasn't taking items. To figure out quickly which item is causing the issue, spamming X A (on controller) means you don't have to choose how many items you are putting in, and it will eventually say storage full. So donate them to a pawn and make someone's day 😁
To add to the introduction of this video, and adds to the game playability. I have a different experience playing as a worrier. The game is incredible 😅
Thought I was great, haven't died and have been feeling like a pure badass in just about every fight. Then I encountered a drake.. that thing spanked me 😂
I love this game but I absolutely hate the camera and lack of a lock on it makes it hard coming from elden ring or even bg3 where it was easier to see what's going on around you
Can I combine an original quest item and lose it? For example, a stone that i combine and it turns into a healing item, and that stone was supposed to delievered to a quest or even and equip upgrade?
How to target agural flare? Everytime I cast it I immediately spam basic attack and ill end up targeting its ass instead of its head where the flare is…
The one thing I’m struggling to understand and have found no help through google search is when you get grabbed or pinned by a bite of some sort. The tutorial says you can expend stamina to struggle and attempt to escape but I don’t know how to do so. I’ve tried wiggling the sticks, using abilities, stamina consumables and haven’t figured it out what the tutorial means by “Expend Stamina”. Any help would be appreciated
Basically pressing A and X buttons allows for it but there aren't a ton of instances you can break free from. It's weird really. You'll know exactly what ones you can but the others are just frustrating
@@italianspartacus Thank you for this. I will give it a try. So far it's the only tutorial and mechanic I haven't been able to figure out and the tutorial text isn't all the help which is rare. Haven't even found any information online yet about this either.

Honestly the way to tell time and what the hell the symbols next to the quests mean are probably the biggest help for me personally. Great stuff dude!
My pleasure :)

Right!??! It helps with so many quests!
haha I'm 50 hours into the game and never noticed the time dial on the map @ 9:50. Thank you :D
Wow, best beginners guide! Im about 30 hours in and dont know any of this, and thats after watching like 10 beginners guides. Professional, well spoken, no nonsense, great content!
Took me a good 10 hours to get into it. Almost gave up but now I'm hooked.
It's rough at the start but then gets INCREDIBLE
I didn't even notice the ring on the map scree that tells what time of day it is.
I just defaulted to reading the sky like I've been doing so long in the first game. 😆
Hahahahaha
@@italianspartacus It is kind of funny. 😆
Dude reading the sky has been so immersive!
Dude reading from the sky has been so immersive!
Most videos aren’t showing the house you can buy. It’s right around the corner from this dude. Very useful. Great video.
Also, if you go to the quests and you see a hand logo on it (main pawn I or II), it means they know where it is or who you're going to and will lead you to it. It will save you ample time when your recruited pawn is more knowledgeable
Ur my favorite RUclipsr right now, thanks for everything
Jason you fucking rule like 10,000 air guitars

I've been doing this a TON. It's so helpful
Part of me thinks it’s an intentional feature, cause once I got to the endgame it stopped working. Granted they do warn that we don’t have “protection” anymore at that point
@@GrimMobius Very interesting, then it might be some training wheels they give players in early/mid game.
I love your videos Spartacus! By far my fav RUclipsr rn. You’re so responsive on stream, so upfront in all your videos and overall just a stand up guy who doesn’t tolerate unnecessary drama
You’re the best!
Aw man thank you so much bro that's very kind of you!!!
Best quality of life changes ! Was really a great video, thanks buddy !
Your content is god tier. I started watching for bg3 tips and haven’t looked back
Hahahaha Thanks dude!!
Best tip: just explore and loot.
After getting the mystic spearhand i didn't touch a quest and just went exploring.
Now i am level 24,vocation rank 8 and a lot of great weapon and core skills.
I upgraded my gear, bought a house and I am strong.
All just by freeroaming, exploring and fighting enemies underway.
Pro tip, having less than 4 skills on a pawn can actually be a good thing if there is only a couple skills you really want them to use. Such as helm splitter on theif
OHHH that's great actually. I didn't even think of that. Especially for pilfer if you're trying to steal stuff
Just like you are utilizing the "Go!" command, you should utilize the "Help me!" command also..... This seem to force all the pawns to start taunting and roaring at everything in sight, setting you up with pre heals and buffs at the same time. I've noticed that running around with "Help me!" on seems more legit than the other ones.
I have yet to look on all the inclinations and what they are doing or prioritizing first (like how do i make it so mages prioritize casting Palladium instead of fire weapons) but i know for a fact that Calm is horrible use on archers.... Since the AI gets kind of ret*rded and runs around repositioning himself out of danger most of the time instead of attacking anything at all!
Also another really cool tip! You can raise the visor on helmets in the equipment menu when you have it on
How to select multiple things to put into storage was clutch!
;)
didnt expect this to be as useful as it is thanks man!!! went into this expecting combat stuff i already knew but it was actually good tips for UI and stuff
Glad I could help brother :)
Such a basic thing but knowing how to tell time makes a world of difference, thanks great vid.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video! I always find inventory management the Achille’s heal of open world games like this. Your tips will make this a bit easier.

If you're fighting a Medusa, try to actively go for the head, uf you can sever it you get to keep it.

Also look at the pawns eyes to make sure they are not infected with dragon stone eyes will be slightly red.
My pawns eyes have been red since character creation. I have a big black lion companion with red eyes so
@@xnadegod1053 when u go into the rift and select a pawn just look at the pawns eyes.
@@shawnvire4941 and if they’re red like I made my guys? Is that why nobody hires him?

Throw stuff in the inventory. It doesn’t rot or takes a long time. Load a pawn with items then un summon.
