hire beast pawns, I waited on stairs at lv 32 while they killed it. they gotta be bitterblack gear pawns though preferably with health regen gear so you dont have to rez a few times
dude i got into it a week ago, one of the best rpg games i've played. A bit limited and short in terms of map and quests and so on, but still the combat makes up for all of it:DD
I have very mixed emotions after seeing Throwblasts on hard mode more effectively killing enemies that I struggled with on normal mode at level 50 with maximum upgraded equipment. I'm gonna go buy some throwblasts now. Thank you.
hard mode enemies have the same hp and defenses, though have highr stagger resist, its just that arisen takes a lot more dmg which makes no difference if youdont get hit.
@@davida7229 yes you can revert to normal from hard and continue playing where you are with your missions inventory and levels evereything. However selecting hard can be done only from start, so you would have to go again however you would keep your inventory and levels id will give you a prompt about it if you try. you can also use this to your advantage as restarting and keeping your gear means you can get some items you would get a second copy of, for example you can speed run for ring that gives double dcp points, when you have two, they stack multipling one another or big boon, it requires some effort though, or a glitch that lets you jump through the locked door by placing barrel next to it or two barrels and keeping jumping untill you glitch through.. Have fun :D
@@jb3133-z3oNot really, from my experience, it won't chance much, but they'll start to lure enemies, die to anything, etc. In other words, they're pretty much useless.
This is a great video, and if anyone is wondering, all the techniques used are still working as of 9/24/2020! One thing to note though is that if you do plan on using the full guide, in part 5 where you farm death; there's a little trick to the madness that wasn't explained in the vid. In order to make death appear over the waterfall when teleporting to you, your character MUST be facing the waterfall. Think of the second boss you had to avoid its gaze in part 2. Literally the same mechanic just backwards. Your characters back should be facing death when he's teleporting to you. I swear i was cursing up and down when death wouldnt appear over the edge, he kept appearing in front of me in the middle of area, until i had my back turned and was facing the edge did he FINALLY appear over that damn edge lol. GG man, it was fun ride
@@ukier117 whilst farming death? If so then i'm not sure i didnt try that. But if your at that point in the game do you not have blast arrows or using a different class?
@@SilverLegion121 There's a mod that gives you unlimited sprinting, also a big compilation mod that has a double carry weight feature among other useful things, should check out the Nexus
Wow. Didn't think I'd be able to finish this video given its length, but I did because it was awesome to watch. I finished this game on PS3, PS4 Pro, and now am playing it again on PC. One of my all-time favorites. I really do hope they come up with an equally epic sequel. Cheers bud!
I always use throwblasts. You can free youself from possesion by wraiths and such with them, and eventually pawns even learn that. Dragons spit works too but not as good. Better stagger than throwblasts but blasts knock them around.
I love how all the ghosts are trying to mourn their own demise and warn the Arisen of the dangers below and he''s just gleefully sprinting through chucking bombs everywhere.
As stated by countless others, superb tutorial. Very simple and straightforward, pretty quick also. I have played scores of hours "normally", getting my ass handed to me by Grigori on Easy mode, being level ~50. Did this, hit 200 in about 7 hours total and wiped the entire game, BBI included, like a red-headed stepchild
Works very well. One thing that is important to note: if you are using a short lightweight character you will not be able to carry anywhere near as many throwblasts or blast arrows. This wasn't too much of a problem until it came to farming Death. When farming Death I couldn't only carry 112 blast arrows and stay geared. It takes exactly 40 blast arrows (8 rounds with 5-fold shot) to take down Death in this method. Which means I could only kill him 2 times, then I had to run back up to Barroch to get more. Also if you are short you will not be able to jump up from below in the area where the nasty archers are firing on you, you must climb - which is not easy with crazy archers slamming you.
Trust your life on the throwblast, the most broken item in the game, lol. Great video, might come in handy if i want to make another character eventually. Oh my god, that ending, haha!
This was legit the best DDDA level guide I’ve watched and let me tel u I’m obsessed with this game I know it’s over a decade old but i still can’t fathom why no other developer has had the balls to replicate one of the most advanced and fantastic combat skill system I’ve ever ever seen in a game. This guys video is nuts he literally melts bosses I truly struggled on my first couple play through a of bitterblack many years ago lol. Watching him do this now I can’t believe it.

Very nice! Regarding Magick: In my playthrough (it's been a while, so some details might be wrong), I used the arena on BBI where you can get a bunch of living armor to spawn (I think it's the first one you get access to). The trick I used was to stand on top of the arena and cast successive High Maelstrom and slowly drag them over the edge (for some reason the spelled doesn't activate the enemies). You have to be a bit tricky where to place the last High Maelstrom but it's about where you hung over the edge in this video. As I recall, you can exit and enter the arena until you get living armor to spawn rather than other mobs. I don't know if that would get you to level 200 as fast as this method, but it worked pretty well for me :)
Very nice video. I learned alot about the game and it's mechanics. I never played the game like this but it worked. I was here July 11, 2022 and enjoyed this run through. I took more time but did great. Thank you.
An excellent video with hips of useful information and a well organized walk-through. Obviously, you are very familiar with this awesome game. Respect!
If you want a sorcerer maxed out, follow this guide up to farming Death. (This works only on Normal in my experience so you’ll be grinding longer, due to his increased knockdown resistance) To farm him, you want Dragons Wit (it can be found randomly in the really claustrophobic room with the Eliminators. Set up a save, sprint to the chest, and if you don’t get it, let everything kill you to reset the chest) Instead of immediately running to the platform where you’ll known him down, hit him with a Gicel (only hit him when he notices you, if you catch him unawares this doesn’t work properly) Then lure him to the platform the same way, and hit him with a second Gicel, which will knock him down. As far as I know, you need to hit him twice in total for him to get knocked down, and hitting him unawares knocks him down immediately. And from what I read in hard mode his knockdown resistance recovers in a way so to knock him down it has to be consecutive hits, which isn’t really something you can do as a Sorcerer. Oh yeah, final thing, play around with the distance between the ledge, stand in the middle of the square platform, as Gicel needs ground to actually rise from. If you’re too close to the edge, it doesn’t work. This is slower than the Assassin build, but I’ve found it to work. Hope this helps! Oh and correct me if there’s an easier way to do this because there most likely is lol
Another method, though a bit longer is to use Holy Focused Bolt from the other side of a wall, though you actually have to kill him when you do it that way. Takes about the same amount of time and can be done on hard.
Just wanted to correct 1 thing because I got confused. The staff you want is Dragons Risen. Which can be found in Bitterblack isle. Dragon's wit is from killing Grigori the big red dragon from the story.
Just a heads up if you are in fact lvling a mage just farm the last boss of bbi. Use holy and charge ur staff and spam. Suuuuper easy boss with mage/soc with holy..+ u get all the bbi weapons and armor.
Just a friendly reminder, don't kill other players pawns when you have a rift portal next to you, just send them back. A pawn that goes back to the owner because it was killed, is given a 3 star review
Bruh some guys get off on killing pawns .bruh the don’t care about 3 star ratings . Bruh I had someone use my pawn and I got 1,000,000 RC and they rated my pawn 1 star . Now no one can use them . it’s the same way on sims where you can bbq your babies and eat them . Twisted world we live in . But to each there own.
@@umgato.3017 sims 2 had gameplay back in the day simmers were doing . I didn’t but it’s there . I dk if you can do it now but back when sims 2 came out you could .
Death: *Hah, yes, run away mortal, for I am the ultimate foe!* Arisen comes back Death: *Oh? You're approaching me? Instead of running away you're coming right at me?* Arisen goes onto the platform Death: *PREPARE TO DI- wait why is boss music playing*
One of the best RPG games that I played 👍👍 I happen to buy this game in switch since it was on discounted price. I thought it wouldn't hurt much if bought it while not knowing if it's worth playing.. Never regret playing such a masterpiece. Looking forward to DD2
I was doing sword and shield, was good. Did this method, I love a nice sword, and the dragon's bow just make a mean duo. Big thumbs up, this was an amazing video
Can’t play dd 2 yet so I decided to do another playthrough of ddda, felt like it took me weeks to hit 200 before but thanks to you I hit it in just one day. Incredible guide and many thanks :)
I dont remember if I learned that by accident (dying in the process), or from the strategy guide my step father got with the vanilla preorder. Of course this only works if you dont care about magic.
I might have accidentally skipped a hidden step. Thats to forget to sign in to the servers for several months, then sign in, and watch your rift-crystal bank get flooded with those outworldly $$$$$$$$
I played this on release years ago and just recently got back into. Was real surprised at how powerful throwables can be, never used them before this playthrough. I just beat the gore cyclops making my way through the bbi. This game is definitely a gem
Cool thing I found out, after you kill death, you can place a rancid bait meat down, summon an elder ogre, and lure it off the cliff. If you do this while the charm is still in effect, you can get a bit of extra exp,
3 Years after buying the game I've finally decided to go back to it. I've beat it on the 360 back in the day, but playing it again is bringing back fun memories.
Damn, this was especially useful after reaching NG+ by casual play. Setting the Death farming up was easy as pie but I never would have come up with it myself.
You are really dedicated to this game! Keep up the good work! I just found your video and it really helps when I want to do a new playthrough but don't want to go through that slow-ass beginning part! Again Thx so much!
i know it OLD but as someone who give to people on reddit if your going the MA route for max Magic power or simple put MAge to lvl 10 and Sorc to 200, to compensate for the Blast arrow USE HIGH GICEL, SLower and requires pre casting but once you do it usually take only two hits form a fully charge high gicel to knock him down hope that helps
You can use the blasts with a small character. It just takes a little longer because you have to go back to get more from your inventory. You can carry at least 70, and that's enough to kill the goreclopse, and the eye thing. About 45 blasts for each big guy with a few extras to take care of minor enemies. But if you carry that little amount you'll have to make sure every blast hits, or you'll run out.
Best guide ever on level up fast. I only saw this when I'm level 90 and it still work in 22 Jun 2020. I need to run a few times as I didn't have enough weight to carry the blast arrows.
Word of advice: If you want to ensure you get the equipment for your class to proc, make sure you have both you and your pawn's vocations are set to Strider, Warrior, or Mage: All purified equipment types run off of a list randomly generated at the start of game, but the specific class armors that drop will always be ones that your current class can use. Example: An Assassin with a Strider Pawn will proc both Strider and Warrior class gear, but two Striders proc only Strider gear.
No, its vocation color that does it. And its generated when you pick it up, not at the start of the game. You can get strider gear as a ranger for example.
@@pemudabergairah The vocation color. Thats why hybrid vocations arent good for purifying gear. Fighter AND warrior, strider AND ranger, mage AND sorc.
This guide is amazing. Got Dragons Dogma recently on Switch when it was on sale. I played game long ago on PC but didn't really like it. Thanks to this guide I have a head start in wrecking stuff. :D Didn't do evetyhing exactly like in the video. After returning from killing Cyclops and Eye monster I took my sweet time to do some side quests, level up my pawn, etc. And then I came back to BBI and killed death over and over till 200. :)
That was an awesome experience to follow along with, ended up running out of blast arrows with Daimon and had a good old dark souls moment battling it out I prevailed ⚔️ thanks for the help homie.🤘
A better way for you to get through the everfall quest, turn around and go to the house opposite the guild and accept his quest. He will give a wakestone shard. Run over to Mountebank and buy another shard from him or Fournival. Depending on your version of DDDA you'll need to speak to both. Once you have the full wakestone and with a ferrystone in hand, yeet off the edge, ferrystone back.
Lmao fr. I’m following this guide feeling like I’m playing dark souls. Gives me that creepy feeling. Vs how I usually play, I summon 3 pawns to follow me everywhere lol.
@@xyoobtsab1 yeah people lokey skipping alot of crap cause it's too hard then popping elixers and using bombs not the weapons yup its dark souls elite.
Personal addendum: To those new to the game, as Assassin, you can kill death the second you come into contact with him. You just need the threefold/fivefold arrow, a bunch of blast arrow you can scrounge up, conqueror periapts to be safe, and a liquid vim. As soon as it shows up, drink the vim, equip the arrows, and start blasting till it 'falls' off the sides. If your quick enough, you can get the exp bonus from both Gazer and Death. There should be some video if you want to see it happen.
I just use ruinous sigil and great canon on it several times and save several times at the safe area where two chests and leapworms are. It takes a while if low-leveled but does work.
Thanks for the video, I did your method as a Strider, so I can swap vocations if I wish, I also played a smaller character, I could only get about 2 runs on death before I needed more arrows, was a touch slower at the end, but a few benefits such as the archers in the room at 52:00 would miss if I dodged around that corner, though I had to use the ladder to get back up,
thank you for this guide, I'm playing this right now and I'm addicted to it! I just killed the archbishop boss with its dragon. now I'm moving on to the next area guided by your tutorial here. hehe.
I have used ypur tutorial and i really enjoy playing dragon dogma now. It is still difficult to play at times as the enemies appear at random. But the blast bow and throwblasts are such a game mechanic. It gets me thinking bout how else this game can be played. Thank yoj bro!
And to think it took me over 15 hours to get to lvl 80 by playing like a lost adventurer killing anything that showed up in front of me... Just, wow...
Awesome video. Very well put together

One thing that is important to note: if you are using a short lightweight character you will not be able to carry anywhere near as many throwblasts or blast arrows. This wasn't too much of a problem until it came to farming Death. When farming Death I couldn't only carry 112 blast arrows and stay geared.

Also if you are short you will not be able to jump up from below in the area where the nasty archers are firing on you, you must climb - which is not easy with crazy archers slamming you.
I was wondering how short characters would work with this tactic; good to know that it's still possible but just a touch slower.
Using conquerors periapts makes this way faster and requires fewer blast arrows per kill (10-15 instead of 40).
Actually you can jump up there. I did on my min height character without a running start.
Might be worth trying to rank fighter for sinew
Stand close enough to the edge and you can do it in 5 or 15
Trust your life on the throwblast, the most broken item in the game, lol.

(This works only on Normal in my experience so you’ll be grinding longer, due to his increased knockdown resistance)
To farm him, you want Dragons Wit (it can be found randomly in the really claustrophobic room with the Eliminators. Set up a save, sprint to the chest, and if you don’t get it, let everything kill you to reset the chest)
Instead of immediately running to the platform where you’ll known him down, hit him with a Gicel (only hit him when he notices you, if you catch him unawares this doesn’t work properly)
Then lure him to the platform the same way, and hit him with a second Gicel, which will knock him down. As far as I know, you need to hit him twice in total for him to get knocked down, and hitting him unawares knocks him down immediately. And from what I read in hard mode his knockdown resistance recovers in a way so to knock him down it has to be consecutive hits, which isn’t really something you can do as a Sorcerer.
Oh yeah, final thing, play around with the distance between the ledge, stand in the middle of the square platform, as Gicel needs ground to actually rise from. If you’re too close to the edge, it doesn’t work.
This is slower than the Assassin build, but I’ve found it to work. Hope this helps! Oh and correct me if there’s an easier way to do this because there most likely is lol
Another method, though a bit longer is to use Holy Focused Bolt from the other side of a wall, though you actually have to kill him when you do it that way. Takes about the same amount of time and can be done on hard.
Just wanted to correct 1 thing because I got confused. The staff you want is Dragons Risen. Which can be found in Bitterblack isle. Dragon's wit is from killing Grigori the big red dragon from the story.
Just a heads up if you are in fact lvling a mage just farm the last boss of bbi. Use holy and charge ur staff and spam. Suuuuper easy boss with mage/soc with holy..+ u get all the bbi weapons and armor.
@@Weedknight-oi9zcbut daimon has high magic resist? wouldnt that take like a million years to do?
thank you for making this, got so used to following the video i loved that you added more after the leveling was over
I followed this guide and got to max level having never played this game before. It was one hell of an experience.
I actually enjoy leveling slowly, gives me purpose to get better gear at lower levels.
Ikr
I like it too. But sometimes getting stupidly stronger in a few minutes is delicious hahahahahahaha
Just a friendly reminder, don't kill other players pawns when you have a rift portal next to you, just send them back.
A pawn that goes back to the owner because it was killed, is given a 3 star review
im going to continue to throw them off into water when i dont want them
@@cooked4048 giga chad
Bruh some guys get off on killing pawns .bruh the don’t care about 3 star ratings . Bruh I had someone use my pawn and I got 1,000,000 RC and they rated my pawn 1 star . Now no one can use them . it’s the same way on sims where you can bbq your babies and eat them . Twisted world we live in . But to each there own.
@@kingkushezio2581 wait up, in what sims can you make bbq out of babies? I wanna try out
@@umgato.3017 sims 2 had gameplay back in the day simmers were doing . I didn’t but it’s there . I dk if you can do it now but back when sims 2 came out you could .
Death: *Hah, yes, run away mortal, for I am the ultimate foe!*
Arisen comes back
Death: *Oh? You're approaching me? Instead of running away you're coming right at me?*
Arisen goes onto the platform
Death: *PREPARE TO DI- wait why is boss music playing*
*Piano intensifies*
*Piano part of "Il vento d'oro" starts playing*
Arisen: I, the Arisen, have a dream
Tiago Marx LOL
Plin Plin Plon Plon
Death: Wait, why am I hearing the fanfare all of the sudden? Doesn't this only play when the bosses are low on health!?
One of the best RPG games that I played 👍👍 I happen to buy this game in switch since it was on discounted price. I thought it wouldn't hurt much if bought it while not knowing if it's worth playing.. Never regret playing such a masterpiece. Looking forward to DD2
Nobody: ...
Caxton: *They're Masterworks, all. You can't go wrong.*
Gets old quick
Arrow to the face XD
*COME AGAIN*
EVERY GODDAMN TIME
Its more like *They're Masterworks, all. You can't g...*
I was doing sword and shield, was good. Did this method, I love a nice sword, and the dragon's bow just make a mean duo. Big thumbs up, this was an amazing video
Vahellis: The fastest way to max level is to kill death itself!
Goodfisher: I can wait
Thank you so much for this guide!!! Although the Bishop and his dragon were the ones that ga e me the most issues, died about 14 times.
That is one *SWOLE* Arisen you made there. Also, great video . I would have been awestruck seeing someone kill Death four years ago.
I remember first kill of mine was 4 years ago. Saw a post on gamefaqs, was able to do it then a lot easier than now. And I leveled the same.
Can’t play dd 2 yet so I decided to do another playthrough of ddda, felt like it took me weeks to hit 200 before but thanks to you I hit it in just one day. Incredible guide and many thanks :)
Wow all these years and I had no idea you could kick the dam ox lol thank you
LMAO yeah me too, only found out about it on my 4th playthru. What I would do though, is mount the ox so I dont have to walk
But too many kicks can kill it.
@@dwaynecowart2451 I just ride it and get on my phone for 5 minutes lol
I saw that and said, "wait, what?" out loud.
I dont remember if I learned that by accident (dying in the process), or from the strategy guide my step father got with the vanilla preorder. Of course this only works if you dont care about magic.
The dialogue from living armor falling off couldn't have been more perfect.
OMG i just love the "BUT IM NOT DONE YET" XD you are a fantastic person. thanks a lot
i like to imagine that last caster skele kills itself out of frustration at not being able to hit you on the bridge.
I might have accidentally skipped a hidden step. Thats to forget to sign in to the servers for several months, then sign in, and watch your rift-crystal bank get flooded with those outworldly $$$$$$$$
I played this on release years ago and just recently got back into. Was real surprised at how powerful throwables can be, never used them before this playthrough. I just beat the gore cyclops making my way through the bbi. This game is definitely a gem
Only took me 7 hours lol but I did it thanks to you , amazing and fun guide to follow
Cool thing I found out, after you kill death, you can place a rancid bait meat down, summon an elder ogre, and lure it off the cliff. If you do this while the charm is still in effect, you can get a bit of extra exp,
42:01 "get rid of the pawns" im dying bro😂
Zynious that last pawn almost looks like it’s trying to run away and gets cornered lol
@@bodax1069 Basically bodybagging them.
lolol he said "YEEEEET
3 Years after buying the game I've finally decided to go back to it. I've beat it on the 360 back in the day, but playing it again is bringing back fun memories.
Damn, this was especially useful after reaching NG+ by casual play. Setting the Death farming up was easy as pie but I never would have come up with it myself.
I know this video is 4 years ago and I will still comment bro you are the best ❤❤
You are really dedicated to this game! Keep up the good work! I just found your video and it really helps when I want to do a new playthrough but don't want to go through that slow-ass beginning part! Again Thx so much!
Thanks for all the help, I'm on my way back to kill daimon for a 2nd time now. Your guide is probably one of the best I've ever seen
3 years later.... Here we go again 😂 (and I already forgot to buy a ton of bombs)...😭
i know it OLD but as someone who give to people on reddit if your going the MA route for max Magic power or simple put MAge to lvl 10 and Sorc to 200, to compensate for the Blast arrow USE HIGH GICEL, SLower and requires pre casting but once you do it usually take only two hits form a fully charge high gicel to knock him down hope that helps
Well this video was just a throwblast to the past. Awesome game. Great video too!
Underrated comment
This game is criminally underrated
You can use the blasts with a small character. It just takes a little longer because you have to go back to get more from your inventory. You can carry at least 70, and that's enough to kill the goreclopse, and the eye thing. About 45 blasts for each big guy with a few extras to take care of minor enemies. But if you carry that little amount you'll have to make sure every blast hits, or you'll run out.
Number one thing I learned from this: throwblasts are way stronger than I first thought
Best guide ever on level up fast. I only saw this when I'm level 90 and it still work in 22 Jun 2020. I need to run a few times as I didn't have enough weight to carry the blast arrows.
"Still works" no shit. It's not like it's a bug.
@@hi7535plus the game is over a decade old, it stopped getting pat he's ages ago 😂
42:05 she tried to run away, she knew what was coming ;_;
Word of advice: If you want to ensure you get the equipment for your class to proc, make sure you have both you and your pawn's vocations are set to Strider, Warrior, or Mage: All purified equipment types run off of a list randomly generated at the start of game, but the specific class armors that drop will always be ones that your current class can use. Example: An Assassin with a Strider Pawn will proc both Strider and Warrior class gear, but two Striders proc only Strider gear.
No, its vocation color that does it. And its generated when you pick it up, not at the start of the game. You can get strider gear as a ranger for example.
Two striders will proc any yellow vocation gear.
@@jaredcrabbno, he’s right. Assassin is a hybrid vocation (red and yellow). I tested this myself.
@@pemudabergairah The vocation color. Thats why hybrid vocations arent good for purifying gear. Fighter AND warrior, strider AND ranger, mage AND sorc.
YOU CAN KICK THE OX TO MAKE IT GO FASTER!!!????? I wish i knew that before
I accidentally dropped his health at the minimum by doing this lmao
You can also climb on it for some afk time.
OMG RIGHT!!!! 😆 i NEVER knew this lolololol
i was like IT GO FASTER??? 👀NANI?!?!
Clearly not part of the r/dragonsdogma subreddit you are
Can I just say that your Vids are really well made? You are criminally underrated, keep up the good work my dude
I killed the dragon and priest and everything apart from the bow got dragon forged lol
This guide is amazing. Got Dragons Dogma recently on Switch when it was on sale. I played game long ago on PC but didn't really like it. Thanks to this guide I have a head start in wrecking stuff. :D
Didn't do evetyhing exactly like in the video. After returning from killing Cyclops and Eye monster I took my sweet time to do some side quests, level up my pawn, etc. And then I came back to BBI and killed death over and over till 200. :)
Wut after so many hours in this game now I know you can just not look at the gazer to avoid his gaze
I know right. I never worried about it though.
That was an awesome experience to follow along with, ended up running out of blast arrows with Daimon and had a good old dark souls moment battling it out I prevailed ⚔️ thanks for the help homie.🤘
“Just run to the next area”
*doesnt guide you through maze*
Basically.
Well I think he assumes you've played the game before. Its be kinda weird to pick up a game and already be trying to break it
A better way for you to get through the everfall quest, turn around and go to the house opposite the guild and accept his quest. He will give a wakestone shard. Run over to Mountebank and buy another shard from him or Fournival. Depending on your version of DDDA you'll need to speak to both. Once you have the full wakestone and with a ferrystone in hand, yeet off the edge, ferrystone back.
It took me days of playing to get to level 120 a few years ago I cant believe its this easy now
You play dragons dogma like dark souls lol.
For real dragons dogma is a survival rpg and hes over here running through everything
I never knew there was another area and I hit max lvl already by doing the story over and over.
@@_zarthix_ its dlc
Lmao fr. I’m following this guide feeling like I’m playing dark souls. Gives me that creepy feeling.
Vs how I usually play, I summon 3 pawns to follow me everywhere lol.
@@xyoobtsab1 yeah people lokey skipping alot of crap cause it's too hard then popping elixers and using bombs not the weapons yup its dark souls elite.
Personal addendum: To those new to the game, as Assassin, you can kill death the second you come into contact with him. You just need the threefold/fivefold arrow, a bunch of blast arrow you can scrounge up, conqueror periapts to be safe, and a liquid vim.
As soon as it shows up, drink the vim, equip the arrows, and start blasting till it 'falls' off the sides.
If your quick enough, you can get the exp bonus from both Gazer and Death.
There should be some video if you want to see it happen.
Jesus christ this whole video is the biggest "NO U" ever.
AND I LOVE IT
Just wanted to say everything here still works and is quite possibly the fastest method I’ve seen.
Amazing guide.
I just use ruinous sigil and great canon on it several times and save several times at the safe area where two chests and leapworms are. It takes a while if low-leveled but does work.
Most helpful and depth full guide for leveling ive seen
"Ignore the cursed dragon"
*Jordan Peterson has entered the chat*
Very underrated comment
@@WolffangPL I try
That depends on what you mean by "ignore"
This bloody comment is extremely high in the dominance hierarchy
I really do hope they bring out another dragons dogma, also nice vid got me thinking about playing it again.
They have but its only available in japan
@@raccoonmaster3681 thats dragons dogma online, not a sequel and they already stopped supporting the game.
Thanks for the video, I did your method as a Strider, so I can swap vocations if I wish, I also played a smaller character, I could only get about 2 runs on death before I needed more arrows, was a touch slower at the end, but a few benefits such as the archers in the room at 52:00 would miss if I dodged around that corner, though I had to use the ladder to get back up,
thank you for this guide, I'm playing this right now and I'm addicted to it! I just killed the archbishop boss with its dragon. now I'm moving on to the next area guided by your tutorial here. hehe.
I love everything about this video.
I have used ypur tutorial and i really enjoy playing dragon dogma now. It is still difficult to play at times as the enemies appear at random. But the blast bow and throwblasts are such a game mechanic. It gets me thinking bout how else this game can be played. Thank yoj bro!
This video was both informative and hilarious.
The ending though😂💯thx man I been trying to reach this level for years having to start over every time from losing progress appreciate you man🔥💯
And to think it took me over 15 hours to get to lvl 80 by playing like a lost adventurer killing anything that showed up in front of me...
Just, wow...
Rick Sanchez it’s cool Bro God Bless You Jesus Loves you❤️
Your character has a stunning resemblance to my rotundness.
"So anyway, I started blasting."
I’m never gonna do this because I have hyper ADHD and will get sidetracked and forget the steps but still a fun video to watch! Thank you!
Best build "Throwblast killer"
