I killed it with the ballista, not realizing it would kill him, then it did lol. I hit him once, let him run away, then shot him again and he fucking died
Good video. At least now I know why I struggled to find an archistaff during my explorations and ultimately resorted to purchasing the same archistaff that was mentioned.
In the misty marshes area you can get a sorcerer staff by killing a wight it permanently has a fire boon and the spell seism absolutely obliterates him
You can get "Dead Ringer" for Spearhand before you get the Vocation!!! I was confused for so long about this but I figured it out today. If you have a pawn with Pilfer with you (my main pawn did) they have a chance to loot it off the dragon in Melve without killing it. I have been using Dead Ringer since then.
i found a sorcerer staff in a cave that wasn’t the one for the quest to unlock the class. it had like a green stone on it. and i’m pretty sure the way u had to get was to open a barged door by going all the way around and tossing an explosive barrel down the pit where the loot was blowing the door open from behind. the cave was in between the elf village and vernworth
There is a twin spear you can get from the start of the game called the fools prize, it seems to do extra damage to goblins and is my favorite early game tool, you just have to run oast a few enemies and content with a cave of hob goblins, it can be found in highland cavern or bought at the checkpoint town for around 22k and you should absolutely get it as it does more damage against goblins than some mid-late game options
There actaully is a Sorcerer Staff in early game.. Down the road from melve there is a graveyard, go there at night and there is a lich, Kill him and he will give you the "Craos Tine" great stats and an awesome buff to fire damage, my sorc is a beast.
The fact that I already had basically all these weapons by the time of watching this video makes me happy. Makes me feel I am actually doing well at exploration and not missing too much.
Note: if you are going for either infernal edge or the black hammer at the ancient battleground there is also a set of their daggers with the lightning element. The daggers are in a cave high upon a cliff. If you take the shortest oath from the check point town it will be on your left before the broken bridge.
I do agree that you should stumble on these yourself, makes it much more rewarding but some want to find that starter weapon and since its not mentioned i might aswell share something so if you dont wanna know DONT READ FURTHER!!!!. Sorc have one tied to a mini boss fight south of Checkpoint rest town that spawns at night on the flower field for people interested, dont know if it counts as "off the ground loot" or how good it is but it doesnt cost gold atleast.
@@sorenjensen3863 Didn’t know that was a way to get it, watched a bad video for the first dragon and made it fly off without any info. Then 50 hours in I watched another bad video I guess where they said you either get it there or buy it from a shop at volcano island.
@@Yourgoldenfuture you should learn to read the room and the title before you read these comments my good brother, I hope you enjoy the bliss that ignorance affords you.
You can get a really good staff at the camp fire just east of checkpoint town. It must be night time and a skeleton boss mage will spawn. Kill him and you will get his weapon. The boss fight is also the best one I've fought so far.
You can actually get the duo spear from the drake just by being a thief with the bump and lift core skill. I got it while fighting the drake and that Sigurd had somehow died and dropped it at first haha
I actually got the chaos trine archistaff while looking for the kid taken by wolves. Ran into a skeletal sorcerer and spent 20 minutes fighting it since I was underleveled and undergeared. Free fire archistaff tho.
So for mystic spearhand, the duo spear dead ringer can be gotten by killing the dragon in Melve with a ballista. Which cotton implies here is a bug, but seems intended since the npcs have unique dialogue around it. However, I got that weapon without killing the dragon, and from my google searching, at least one other person has mentioned on Reddit they did too. The trigger seems to be popping all its cyst things before it flys away, because that’s what I did and what this Reddit poster referenced doing when they got it. It’s the 3rd best spear in the whole game as far as I can tell. So if anyone else wants to test or can attest to the zit popping theory to figure this out, that would be cool!
if you look for Sigurd and he with you to actually kill that pimple drake. There's a bunch of chest there, super good sorc staff and a dragon shield for fighters. plus that drake drops a good mystic spear weapon
If anyone has a guard blocking vault for them grab a barrel in main hall throw at them and get them to come up stairs then grab them and put them in another room.
You get a duospear from actually slaying the dragon upon yoru return to Maeve that is almost double in power than that of Infernal Edge, one of the best weapons in the game or at least the early-mid game
The Mystic Spearhand one in melve is easy to get and its not a bug you just use the big spear throwing machine at the top of the tower its has 588 strength 568 magic and 321 knockdown :)
What do I do with the Medusa head, I didn’t use it for the griffin sculptor thingy, failed that. Actually, I used it failed and promptly killed myself to get it back. Now it just sits there in my inventory, rottin.
Ma se per sbaglio ho preso il tomo magico della campana e lo letto prima che il tipo arrivasse sul posto e suonasse la campana come faccio a prendere la lancia?
Last night I was going through it....these damn griffins love coming into my fights vs cyclopses....got jumped my 6 ogres, blitz by a minotaur and these damn chimerass......love the game tho
Funny cause for me the dragon in melve did escape so i went back to where i was tryna go and ended up running right back into him on the road randomly and just killed em there.
I ran to the volcanic area early and found near endgame weapons there just lying around in caves lol. You dont need the vendors unless you wana completely max out damage.
Best weapons in general are elemental weapons in my opinion. Giving up a little strength is worth the trade off of telling all the armored and undead enemies to fuck off especially once you get past the spoiler stage of the game. I prefer taking my mage off buff duty around level 40 and using element weapons then. If mage had more than 4 slots for skills then mage having buffs would still be worth it but its not. Sorry about frequent edits my phone is lagging messing up my typing.
jesus christ i cant wait for this game to be out a little longer so i dont need to rely on these shitty D- tier guides that are hastily glued together and stretched out for that 10 minute mark for ads.
Can you do a "didn't know" list like how you did with elden ring? I feel like this game has enough secrets, side missions, interactions, quirks and outcomes that you can fill hours of content. Please
Holy shit lol I totally walked past that locked door in the battle grounds. I paused the game 10ft away from the door to check youtube to see if anything was important laying around b4 i left. What a coincidence, i just happen to be using Mystic and needed an upgrade for my spear. Thanks so much. (Grapped the hammer also and now im going to the vault with my new key next)
just wondering why I don’t see the npc for the spear? Do you have to kill the dragon to see him? Don’t have the keys to open the door, anyone know what’s the reason? I don’t remember any failed mission or dead npcs other then a women how what’s to go to the hidden village of theives
One easy one is have Sphinx duplicate one for you. Also one sitting in gryphon nest in misty marshes. Look for a wooden I think windmill Next to hut and its up behind there. a few are quest rewards.
am i the only one who is not finding the npc for the dual-spear? i tripple checked everything including using the campfire for resting...there is nobody
by the way yo can kill the teachers the mystic spear guy died in a glitch he dropped a spear that had 483 strength or around it but unfortunately i had to kill my self because his dead body got YEAYTED far away and i cant learn the mystic spear vocation now );
That fire spear, infernal edge, is terrible. It's 200 strengh and 200 magik below the Dead Ringer spear I have... At least I got the book and key I needed.
I was watching this video feeling a little disappointed that we can get all there upgreaded weapon but can use the on our guest pawn then I remembered... WARFARER! Ha Ha HA! I use them myself.
The game is so much more fun if you DON'T follow videos like this. Just get your party, and go on an adventure. Min/maxing in Dragons Dogma sucks all the fun out of it.
I hate videos like this. Especially after Josh just said in his review that you should experience the game yourself. Yet you pump out Video after Video spoiling every cool thing you can discover. Really pathetic but i guess it pays the bills.
Gotta love when ppl come in the comments and complain about a video they themselves clicked on. You know what I do when I see a video I don’t wanna watch?… I don’t click on it… I know, MIND BLOWING!!
How is killing the drake in Melve with the ballista a 'bug'? It seems completely intentional.
It’s not a bug. If it was scripted to get away they’d had locked the escape to a cutscene.
I killed it with the ballista, not realizing it would kill him, then it did lol. I hit him once, let him run away, then shot him again and he fucking died
Yeah, the characters have dialogue for it dying in Melve, so it’s definitely not a bug.
Yup. The real answer is to just talk to Sigurd twice, thus getting Wild Furie immediately.
This. Not a bug, just smart game design
the Helical Archistaff is in the Hidden Cave, you have to throw an explosive barrel down a hole to break the bar and unlock the door
You can get a staff from killing the lich in the cemetery at night, the one you pass when you do the save the little boy from the wolves quest.
Its not so good btw
@@CarlosEduardo-vm5ocit’s still free and early
@@CarlosEduardo-vm5oc yeah, but early it's decent enough
Is 100 Magick stronger than base staff. Def not the best. But it's a noticeable buff.
Good video. At least now I know why I struggled to find an archistaff during my explorations and ultimately resorted to purchasing the same archistaff that was mentioned.
In the misty marshes area you can get a sorcerer staff by killing a wight it permanently has a fire boon and the spell seism absolutely obliterates him
Darkening Storm takes a big fat doo doo on Myfyr full upgrade while Darkening Storm is unenhanced
adding to nonvendor archistaff: Favored branches, can be found in the depleated ore deposit, north of harve, just below the northern bridge
You can get "Dead Ringer" for Spearhand before you get the Vocation!!!

My Thief Pawn just stole the spear from the dragon...
same😂😂😂
How nice it must be for you guys, I had to travel for about 5-10 hours to get to the volcano island so that I could buy it for 50k gold...
@@PureCapsaicin you didn't kill the dragon at the tower in battahl?

@@PureCapsaicin the tower is the mystic spearhand questline. It's where you get the meister teaching from Sigurd (if you didn't get the kill in melve)
SOOOOOOOOO when is the actual strongest weapons for each vocation video dropping ?
All the weapons in the last area shop.
@@Yourgoldenfuture you should learn to read the room and the title before you read these comments my good brother, I hope you enjoy the bliss that ignorance affords you.
Dead Ringer. Only one you need to know
@@sorenjensen3863 Lindworm Fang is better that's what I've been using. For 110 wyrmslife crystals from the dragonforged after u do the true ending
Lol right? I keep seeing people with a giant fire mace for warrior but have no idea of where or what it is

You can find Craos Tine on a skeleton Sorcerer in a village in the Misty Marshes, just have to beat him, but it's free.
Really?!😮
@@Hawke317yep that is how I got it
yup I ran into him while doing the save the grandson quest for the item shop in the checkpoint rest town
Permanent fire buff and decent early game magic stat

For archer you can easily get Darkening Storm near the checkpoint town, which is stronger than MyFyr.

Did you get the archer bow that increases experience gained ?
You get a duospear from actually slaying the dragon upon yoru return to Maeve that is almost double in power than that of Infernal Edge, one of the best weapons in the game or at least the early-mid game
He does specifically mention that
I got the Craos Time staff from the lich in the cemetery from the apolothicary quest line in checkpoint rest town
By the time you get to the end of ng+ you have enough wyrmforged to buy a full set for every vocation
Trickster does no damage, so I think it doesn’t matter, just choose the one that looks the best if it’s not the one of the Sphinx
Upgrading tricksters weapons improves the cc it provides from what I hear I’m not sure tho I’m still getting my vocations geared
The Mystic Spearhand one in melve is easy to get and its not a bug you just use the big spear throwing machine at the top of the tower its has 588 strength 568 magic and 321 knockdown :)

North of the border town in the graveyard at night you can fight a lich to get a really good sorc staff called craos time.
You can get CHaos Tine super early, as soon as you get to the capital.

Giving up a little strength is worth the trade off of telling all the armored and undead enemies to fuck off especially once you get past the spoiler stage of the game.

Wait till you guys find the weapons that the dragonforge sells you and the armor and the ability to really push your vocations over the edge
So which Archistaff were u talking about that the Arbor vendor sells?
Im just going for the blue weapons/frost infused weapons. To go with my blue knight drip.
Where do i find the rain shelter cave please? Fir the mage staff the guide dosnt say the location
I really hate that dodging and blocking/parry is class specific but combat is still fun most times
jesus christ i cant wait for this game to be out a little longer so i dont need to rely on these shitty D- tier guides that are hastily glued together and stretched out for that 10 minute mark for ads.
You can get a double xp bow in wrymsblood forest near bakbattahl if u kill medusa
Anyone know the name of the sword for fighter that has a holy element to it? Where can i get it
Random question but how did you get your hair to be so pink? Mine turned out so light 😢
What about the end-game vendors after you kill the big dragon. The gear there is OP but expensive
Can you do a "didn't know" list like how you did with elden ring? I feel like this game has enough secrets, side missions, interactions, quirks and outcomes that you can fill hours of content. Please
So weird thing, I found the Silver Rapier in a different spot, it was in a chest near the elf village.
There's a few spares about.
It exists in many places. The one in the capital you can get as soon as you get there right after the tutorial.
Are y'all going to make a video for Endgame weapons and armor? Not including weapons from the Dragon. Thanks..
Holy shit lol
I totally walked past that locked door in the battle grounds.
I paused the game 10ft away from the door to check youtube to see if anything was important laying around b4 i left.
What a coincidence, i just happen to be using Mystic and needed an upgrade for my spear.
Thanks so much.
(Grapped the hammer also and now im going to the vault with my new key next)
I’m still gonna do the quest but is the infernal edge worse than dead ringer I just happen to get it on my way to get infernal edge
just wondering why I don’t see the npc for the spear? Do you have to kill the dragon to see him? Don’t have the keys to open the door, anyone know what’s the reason? I don’t remember any failed mission or dead npcs other then a women how what’s to go to the hidden village of theives
Need help the spear looks really cool😅 and I killed the dragon later at this location did not drop any weapons and still don’t see the npc yet
Myfy bow is all over around elf area I found like 3 of them.
Any chance you guys could do a vid on the locations for the placeable/reusable port crystals.
One easy one is have Sphinx duplicate one for you. Also one sitting in gryphon nest in misty marshes. Look for a wooden I think windmill Next to hut and its up behind there. a few are quest rewards.
anyone know if the sorcerer can use healing skill like the mage?
If you don’t mind could you make a late game weapons video I’m fighting the big red dragon that took your heart and getting dogged
am i the only one who is not finding the npc for the dual-spear? i tripple checked everything including using the campfire for resting...there is nobody
Your are the best pretty straight forward and clear instructions ❤
Kinda upset we dont have a Ice Enchanted Archstaff
by the way yo can kill the teachers the mystic spear guy died in a glitch he dropped a spear that had 483 strength or around it but unfortunately i had to kill my self because his dead body got YEAYTED far away and i cant learn the mystic spear vocation now );
Npc for the escort mission near the ancient battlegrounds isn’t showing up for me
He might be dead if you didn't find him quick enough, few people I know said they had to revive him with a wakestone
Does the chests reset like in dragons dogma 1 & dark arisen dlc?
Pretty sure they do from personal experience but idk how long it takes
these are all shit tf except the infernal edge
Sphinx trickster wep.
Has anyone been able to find any Maces for the Fighter??? Im doing BattleBeast roleplay & its vexing me! Lol
Aight enough of this early game stuff boys. Time to move on to late game
Not everyone plays 8 hours a day…
Algorithm gamers strike again
I went ALL THE WAY THERE AND MY KEY WAS IN MY BOX FUCK
That fire spear, infernal edge, is terrible. It's 200 strengh and 200 magik below the Dead Ringer spear I have... At least I got the book and key I needed.

Different people enjoy different ways to play. Nothing wrong with that
i have a better weapon for almost every vocation... this video is absolute bull
Fail!!!! Fake news. This video doesn’t give you the best weapons. View farming. Lost my sub
This gear is literally dog shit I wanted THE BEST not the best early on just THE BEST I have all better gear than this
