Remember kids, in this game, “early and easy” is actually “getting circle beat by wolves and knackers in the desert while an assortment of field bosses guard the path, with every inch of progress contested by enemies who do more damage than you thought possible for mobs, and do not forget to activate the static portcrystal of Vermund and carry a ferrystone to get the fuck out of there when you’re done”
It's easy to forget that being unprepared will cost you a lot. Example I was playing sorcerer and used levitate to access an area faster than on foot so my pawns weren't around me, I tried to kill some harpies but couldn't do anything cause they were weak to ice and the iceberg spell is rely bad on flying enemies. This and the fact that I barely had time to cast spells and was getting staggered by them
@@VKashe I managed to struggle through it just now. Was definitely hard and time consuming. I ended up just running as fast as I could haha. If my pawns couldn't keep up, then that's on the 😂
Getting this vocation was such an adventure for me. Accidentally brine’d myself and my fighter pawn followed (I was a thief). So then, ran with a 3 man party not knowing there’s a riftstone in front of their house. Recruited a random archer pawn but got destroyed by Hobgoblins, got the husband killed. Revived him with a wakestone (I always carry one with me) and just picked him up and booked it the rest of the way. I jumped for joy seeing that encampment. It’s the most fun I’ve had with games in a long while 😂
A guard in Rest Point Town will mention how he's seen a Dwarf and an Elf walking hand in hand, and figured he must have been seeing things. That's really cool that they're characters!
WARNING! This is a treacherous journey early game. I'm a little more farmed up then simply following the steps in the video and still struggled. You will fight many mini-bosses. There will be much harder enemies. There's a Griffin, armored ogres, stronger goblins, ghouls, skeletons, trolls... My entire party died a little bit before entering the cave due to a miniboss followed by two armored ogers. Entering the cave, you will fight slimes for the first time! If you don't have any party members left, BEWARE! They can end the journey by grabbing onto you. Without a pawn to help, you will get suffocated to death, losing progress. There's going to be campsites, utilize them before making the final stretch into the cave. EDIT: Just finished this method. It gets harder after exiting the cave. There are two difficult unskippable fights when escorting the old man. One fight is against a goblin camp. They are heavily armored, and there are at least 10+ of them. They can all agro at once which makes the fight lost if you don't clear them fast enough. Because of the armor this makes it very hard. If you make it past the goblins there's a mini boss. A rock golem that is difficult to take on early in the game. Because the old man is so slow, and doesn't like you pushing too far ahead of him these fights aren't skippable. After those last challenges it's fairly easy to escort the old man. It's do-able but hard. Good luck!
It wouldn't be prudent for me to not share what I've learned from this treacherous journey as a very early game mage. 1) Have many curatives or be a mage to heal yourself along the way 2) Just run past all the enemies, always 3) Yes, itll be annoying to spam TO ME so your pawns will run with you, but they'll serve as body shields. 4) Don't bother reviving unless it's absolutely safe. Like, absolutely. 5) Always save when you can to cement your progress, sometimes you have to run, hide, and wait for enemy aggression to fade so you can save. Very important 6) Don't even bother setting up camp, unless you it's at a convenient spot where you can de-aggro and its been really far since you've saved 7) Crossing the border into Battahl, you might have to wait for the oxcarriage to spawn in front of the bridge that is at the entrance of the checkpoint town. 8) Bring a ferrystone and MAKE SURE YOU ACTIVATE A PORT CRYSTAL before crossing the Battahl border. Or else you'll have to run all the way back AND have to take an alternate route back to Vermund. 9) Go to Bakbattahl first so you can do an inn save. It's gonna cost you 10K. Important so you can reset to morning. 11) IMPORTANT, do not load last save whenever you die. You will reload with the penalty of LESSER HEALTH. Exit to title screen first and reload from there. 12) DO NOT LOAD FROM LAST INN. I lost 2-3hrs of running across Battahl since this overwrites your saves. This is why going to Bakbattahl is a good idea. 13) Right before you enter the southernmost cave to exit Battahl, set up camp at that convenient fireplace beside the ogre. You can camp even being aggrod. Just go to sleep to deaggro so you can save before going inside the cave. It's dark and dangerous. 14) At the end of the cave, you have to pick up a boulder to throw at a bunch of rocks to cause an overflow of water so it opens the way out of the cave. This will also take care of the several saurians at the bottom of the room. 10) Just carry the old dude to the springs and make sure you have pawns to be your body shields. 15) REST AT THE INN at the volcano town to save and reset to morning. 16) Stick to the paths and do not go offroading back home. Use way points so you're direct. 17) Harpies and wolves killed me the most. The trick is to always be ready to jump or quickly turn right before they hit you. 18) Magick Archery is worth it!
Going for the volcano camp first to place a ferrystone and sleep at inn would be better, then all you have to do is go the dwarf hut and do his escort quest ferrystone style
Your pawn looks like Deanerys Targaryen and I love it. But also appreciate it. Very clear and concise and you don't assume some noob like me actually has any clue what I am doing. Appreciate you.
Thank you for the guide. I started at lvl 31 and ended at 35. The journey wasn’t easy. Stock up on your currants. Utilize the campfires. When you get to Bakbattahl; take in the sites and sounds. Rest at the inn. Stock up if you need to, the cave is……”fun”. When you get to the other side, camp again. You can either clear the path before you escort or take the enemies as the come. I did half. I then carried the little bastard to the Camp. My only regret was not having an extra Port Crystal to set in Bakbattahl. To those who did it at lower levels…..chef’s kiss. Good luck!
I do say be careful, he forgot to mention the numerous amounts of incredibly tough enemies along the way if your lower level, then there's the cave. Good luck ser !
I have to say it was quiet challenging to get this Vocation with my level being only at 13 at the point where I went ventured out of Rest Town but still managed to get it with some time and effort. So you can do it at a low level but it is really hard especially as archer when you are not dealing any damage against the Rattler without some enchantments from your mages. But I think it is quit a doable challange.
For anyone who wants to go back to Vermont but you didn't activate the ferry stone before hand. There is a mountain path near the checkpoint gate bathal side. Check ur map for a small road, its still darkened since you havent gone through there yet. But eventually you will find your self back to the checkpoint town. You will come out of a cave by a river I suggest just run pass all the monster in this path so it wouldn't take too long
Complete the Rest Town wizard quest (need the noble clothes on you to start it). One book can be bought from a travelling merchant you should meet at first stop at melve One book can be stolen from his house (sneak from his terrace) One can be snatched at the ancient battlefield's ruins, or more easily, one his given to you by waldhar when you do his jailbreak mission and talk to him again. 3 out of 5 is enough for the wizard then you may get an escort quest from him. Unsure about how it procs but you may need to sleep at rest town and check on him. Congrats, you got Dr.Manhattan for your batthal trip. Being a thief may make it easier with the invulnerabilty meister skill you can get from Unknown town
Started this "fast and early" guide at level 29. got magick archer at level 39 because I really like getting lost in the game. A few or more gasps, laugh-cry, "return to last save", and hairs plucked out. Still had fun. good luck to those who will try. Thanks Arekkz and Paradise.
MA has made the game an absolute joke. Its so powerful and does insane DPS. I actually stopped playing it and went back to Archer because I felt like I was cheating 😅
3:00 "Go through this cave"... This cave was fairly challenging at level 30... With somewhat well-upgraded gear. I can't imagine doing this before level 20 to be honest. One of the biggest problems is that the cave is so narrow, and it'd be hard to run past the enemies (at level 30, I could kill most of them... It was just hard).
after hours & hours of tries i finally managed to get it all thanks bcs Mystic Spearhand's shield ability, i really recommend getting Mystic Spearhand first & grind a little until you get the shield ability. once you unlock it you will have 0 problems getting through all the enemies. me & my pawns literally take 0 damage bcs i spam the shield ability XD
Do you have inf stamina? How do you deal with the 100+ goblins, 2-4 armored ogres, 15 wolves, 2 griffins, 1 dragon that will follow you all the way to the cave?
Can confirm I read these comments and had to try for myself, it’s doable, 100% if you are competent. I am a thief, level 20 and equipped the shadow cloak. Tried to fight any mini-boss, if they one shot my teammates I would run, make whoever was alive wait and then use my cloak to go back in and res and high tail it out. Killed the rock troll, a few Minotaurs / ogres. Only think that killed me was an oversized wolf that met and once you get to the Grabnir cave or w/e you are pretty set. I’m now level 25, just rested by the guys crib and then went ahead and took out some of the rock lizards and there’s an another big beast that’s not too difficult. It’s scary for sure, but like I said. Very doable for level 20. Time consuming mostly if you are exploring along the way tbh, but this is me telling you to just go do it if you want it lol.
I followed this guide as a lvl 20 thief with my main pawn lvl 20 and the other two at 25. Some of the monsters were rough and yeah I wiped a couple of times but it wasn’t too bad…and magic archer is definitely worth that grind
Ummm i cant even get there. Im level 16 and i got halfway down to where you said to go and i lost all my pawns and then got over run. Ill just do it naturally bc thats just insane
All you gotta do is use a ferrystone to Vernworth, so unless you did’t grab the portal stone in the city, then you gotta walk back. You’re not locked there, there’s multiple routes to return.
@@eddyram4932 I am locked, I had no ferrystones or portalcrystals Anyway I ended up using a cheat engine table to spawn me ferrystones and portalcrystals to TP back In hindsight I should've just used the cheat engine table to unlock the class instead of going in this painful journey
Should note that the dwarf will take any of the common flowers you pick up along the way the term wildflowers doesn't necessarily mean anything specifically hell take pitywort or any of the other basic medicinal flowers for crafting
The dwarf doesnt appear, even if i triggered his wife. Any suggestions ? I did my way at lvl 22 downwards through Bakbatthal and to the dwarf location. Waited a few days but nothing. Theres a griffon near by, do you need to kill it first ? Any suggestions ? Thanks for the help
Getting jailed in batthal+feintless form thief skill is the best way to do it. Achieved it at level 13, you still need 2 or 3 wakestones, it was tense af. Goal is to place a portcrystal a volcanic camp. Makes escorting the dwarf easy.
I tried taking this route yesterday thru the cave and the cutscene triggers anyway. Now now you're REALLY far away from the guardian and have no way of catching up
Am sooooooo soon as we got to the door of the before entering, My pawns killed the old man which was very strange, I think it was a glitch in the game, But I still carried him to the Hot springs but was not able to finish because he was dead so his wife never came
Try looking away from road into a wall or the gate, seems like things are less likely to spawn if its in your field of vision. I usually wait 1-2 minutes, turn around and walk down the road. I've never had to wait over a few minutes.
@@ArekkzGaming no luck with the cart yet, unfortunately.. going on two hours of attempting to get a cart to spawn! must be something else along the way that is needed that hasn't been discovered yet. Update: If you venture outside of the city across the bridge by the wait spot for the ox cart, you may get a spawn on the left side of the forked road. just keep in mind your cart may not spawn on the road in the city! Thanks for the guide.
This was reeeeally pretty hard when I started at level 14, but somehow I’ve managed to get through it and done it at level 18, so it’s not impossible, but stressful and long, fingers crossed it’s worth it.. not looking forward to the long walk back home haha
If you’re having trouble getting through the desert, just jump out of the oxcart when you get to the otherside of the gate and let the guards apprehend you. You will end up in bakbattahl and it’s easier to get to the island from there without having to go through the desert.
Getting jailed means losing half your money. So make sure to spend as much as possible on useful stuff, like heal items and ferrystones, before doing that trick
No. If you go through the back way before you get a certain "special item" that opens the big door then you can explore that whole area and it actually helps you later depending on how you meet the final quests.
@@EliteTriggerControl were there any mandatory fights you had to do on the path after getting in the cart or can you just run through everything / carry the dwarf through all the mobs
so, a dwarf has back pains, I carry grandpa to the thermals and her spying wife just skidaddle out of a corner and hands out the vocation to me, with the maisters ultimate skill, OK makes sense.
I was using a mod that makes the enemies hit harder and I do less dmg to them. This took me 3 hours total. Counting from checkpoint town forward. I was lvl12. Take that as you will
I got this somewhere around level 15 and let me say good luck. You better git gud because the journey is a nightmare. That's not the end of the magic archer unlocking. What you need to do is go unlock warfarer after that since you will go right to the guy that unlocks it to finish the quest (bring 3 newt liquor on the journey and a port crystal if you have one) and then use a magic bow, daggers, and a staff. That's the real magic archer and it's a pale imitation of the god-like power it used to be. They nerfed it into the ground and it's still really strong with avalanche so now I just need to find my magic rebalancer 😏
@@Jayyrains I mean if you played it in the first game then I think you could easily see that it is. I'm not saying it isn't strong but it isn't a solo class anymore because you get targeted without any real way to get out of it. I mean I could take time to actually explain it to you but judging by your witty comment I doubt you're actually interested in how it was nerfed. So yeah, totally...new magic archer go BRRRR and all that. It's like way better than it ever was... 🤡
@@ThePheonixIsBurning It clearly wasn’t nerfed into the ground if it’s still strong af. Literally could use another nerf if anything. Ong the first game must have been EASY af if you oldheads are whining about magick archer and skull splitter not being as strong as they were.
Literally was trying to complete this but got impatient bc I was doing the regalia sword quest and so I left him behind when I was escorting him looks like I’ll be going back to him I didn’t know I’d get the vocation from him 💀
yea except my oxcart to that rest point city was destroyed by a minotaur and so i ran ahead. then to be low on health and for some reason all the random guard patrols attack me, stone goblins, hobgoblins surround every campfire. 2 dragons and a hioppgyph. thanks to this guide i am completely stuck and just have to delete my save and start over
Listen to me Arisen ! I never suffered so much to get there in early ....it was a suffering tons of mini bosses enemy's harpies wolfes gobling hobgoblins humans magical golems ....and a maze .....rock lizards in close tunnels blockeds tunnels pits .....big pits ....trolls indoor....gods ...i was lvl 13 never have i ever suffered this much but it was worth it
I jumped over to the girl's side at the hot spring, and to my shock, I was not judged. Absolutely nothing was said about it. The ladies just acted naturally. I forgot to mention something that will undoubtedly help those of you who saved the gifted wine bottle from the Vern area. If you combine it with a saurian tail you get the newt liquor! I didn't have to run to batahl for it.
He never said hey watch for all the higher enemies or the two giant trolls on the way. To save you some anger, play the game normally and level up to get the vocation 👍
I cant find my way through the stupid cave I killed everything but end up at a wall with a ladder dangling above that I cant reach? Did I go the wrong way?
I'm on level 27 and on vocation mystic spearhead with shield which of course the best skill in the game... literally i leave everything to my pawn and use shield and a little finisher to get there easily although it's not easy when encountering griffin lmao.
I lost the old dwarf man he’s not back at his house what do I do??my quest changed must’ve reset because it says to bring him the wildflowers again but he’s not there either! 🤦🏻♂️
Another thing about jumping to all these classes fast and early into the game and skipping all of it is not recommended. Because then your game gets kind of messy. Then you get stuck on that side of the map. You're overleveled, you can't do your story mode because you're stuck so far away. Now I have to restart the game. And nobody has those things to tell a poor back so that's a long walk
I'm standing there a lot of time and went for a nap and no cart is coming through that big gate. Edit: it came after like 10 min. Meanwhile this is probably the first guide that is very badly made from you Fex.. you don't say a word about that the road after getting through that gate is almost impossible to beat. You are dying by 1 hit from enemies.
@@DrierHyperion21 for me it's not the ogre that are the problem it's all the trash mobs like the hobgoblins they can stunlock you with almost all of their attacks.
Hey if you're at the checkpoint instead of trying to go through their get arrested. The literally for bring you into the dungeon. Air Force skipping a huge amount of journey
Do this as a thief and use the formless feint skill with stamina consumables to keep the skill going all the way through. Enemies are no longer a threat. You're welcome.
So I didn't know about the cart, I instead took the path with the rock lizards and boss rush fighting a cyclops, minotaur and chimera before finally getting to the canyon/desert. My pawns fell off a cliff and a drake landed immediately right ontop of the rift stone. Not even ten steps away there was a griffin. I escaped both with just my main pawn. Fuck sake, I only just got to Drabnir's Grotto after fighting tooth a nail. I started at lv 24 and am almost 30. This SUCKS.
Annoyingly i walked over to that side of the map give him the flowers and never went to his house, im now back at capital and no portcrystal down that side of the map
took hours but I finally got it! had to cheese a lot of the mini-bosses such as fighting them near the water so the brine killed them lol WARNING: way harder than it looks - at the very last part before you actually find the dwarf you'll need to go through a huge cave with tons of goblins
Don't forget to rest at an inn before you attempt this or you lose a few hours if you decide to give up... Don't be like me kids lol. It was only a couple of big monster fights I have to redo but dang I could have swore I rested at an in before I tried this... Oh well back to the regular game I guess.
When you are fighting a dragon or any large enemy and you knock it to the ground, how do you do the critical hit to the head with the archer? With other classes it is with the triangle on the console and you stick the sword in its head, but with the bow, what button do you press there?
WARNING!!!! DO NOT TRY THIS EARLY GAME!!! You have a possibility to soft lock your game. The area is a late game area and the enimes are not easy to run away from. Just wait to unlock it naturally. I might have to delete my save and start over because of this....
This quest is BUGGED! I died while traveling with him and it reset me back at his place while he is still following me BUT it’s still giving me the deliver flowers to him quest! I tried talking to him but he acts like he doesn’t know me now!! WHILE FOLLOWING ME! I had to reset back to my inn save which was like 15hrs of gameplay! I’m beyond done with this game bro. Went from lvl 28 back to level 20 at starting city. Now ima have to redo all the battahl storyline. F this game bro

You have the best guides here tbh no skipping over stuff, no unnecessary extra dialogue, and you show the damn map
WARNING! This is a treacherous journey early game. I'm a little more farmed up then simply following the steps in the video and still struggled. You will fight many mini-bosses. There will be much harder enemies. There's a Griffin, armored ogres, stronger goblins, ghouls, skeletons, trolls...

If you don't have any party members left, BEWARE! They can end the journey by grabbing onto you. Without a pawn to help, you will get suffocated to death, losing progress.
There's going to be campsites, utilize them before making the final stretch into the cave.
EDIT: Just finished this method. It gets harder after exiting the cave. There are two difficult unskippable fights when escorting the old man. One fight is against a goblin camp. They are heavily armored, and there are at least 10+ of them. They can all agro at once which makes the fight lost if you don't clear them fast enough. Because of the armor this makes it very hard. If you make it past the goblins there's a mini boss. A rock golem that is difficult to take on early in the game. Because the old man is so slow, and doesn't like you pushing too far ahead of him these fights aren't skippable.
After those last challenges it's fairly easy to escort the old man.
It's do-able but hard. Good luck!
You can pick up the old man as I believe he mentioned in the video making the golem skip able
I just go to the town first killing all the mobs, came back for the dwarf and done, is more easy that way 👌🏽
There are slimes much earlier, though. You can find them in a cave/mountain pass near the first area.
They are armoured Cyclops, ogres are the ape like monsters
Had to fight literally nothing, just picked up the dwarf and booked it. Maybe they made it easier over time.
Just a tip, I run to the town first killing all the goblins, golem, minotaur etc, came back for the dwarf and is was more easy that way 👌🏽
Mine dwarf died and now😢
It wouldn't be prudent for me to not share what I've learned from this treacherous journey as a very early game mage.

14) At the end of the cave, you have to pick up a boulder to throw at a bunch of rocks to cause an overflow of water so it opens the way out of the cave. This will also take care of the several saurians at the bottom of the room.
10) Just carry the old dude to the springs and make sure you have pawns to be your body shields.
15) REST AT THE INN at the volcano town to save and reset to morning.
16) Stick to the paths and do not go offroading back home. Use way points so you're direct.

after hours & hours of tries i finally managed to get it all thanks bcs Mystic Spearhand's shield ability, i really recommend getting Mystic Spearhand first & grind a little until you get the shield ability. once you unlock it you will have 0 problems getting through all the enemies. me & my pawns literally take 0 damage bcs i spam the shield ability XD
Do you have inf stamina? How do you deal with the 100+ goblins, 2-4 armored ogres, 15 wolves, 2 griffins, 1 dragon that will follow you all the way to the cave?
Can confirm I read these comments and had to try for myself, it’s doable, 100% if you are competent. I am a thief, level 20 and equipped the shadow cloak. Tried to fight any mini-boss, if they one shot my teammates I would run, make whoever was alive wait and then use my cloak to go back in and res and high tail it out. Killed the rock troll, a few Minotaurs / ogres. Only think that killed me was an oversized wolf that met and once you get to the Grabnir cave or w/e you are pretty set. I’m now level 25, just rested by the guys crib and then went ahead and took out some of the rock lizards and there’s an another big beast that’s not too difficult. It’s scary for sure, but like I said. Very doable for level 20. Time consuming mostly if you are exploring along the way tbh, but this is me telling you to just go do it if you want it lol.
I followed this guide as a lvl 20 thief with my main pawn lvl 20 and the other two at 25. Some of the monsters were rough and yeah I wiped a couple of times but it wasn’t too bad…and magic archer is definitely worth that grind
Ummm i cant even get there. Im level 16 and i got halfway down to where you said to go and i lost all my pawns and then got over run. Ill just do it naturally bc thats just insane
I think 16 is way too low for that entire region. I was 49 and had a long battle with the dragon at the end of that road.
I’ve been slogging through the path at lvl 19
@@lancee4753did you manage? Im 18 and lost all my pawns and myself trying to get there
The longest journey, and when I actually made it. I CAN'T GO BACK bricked up my game
All you gotta do is use a ferrystone to Vernworth, so unless you did’t grab the portal stone in the city, then you gotta walk back. You’re not locked there, there’s multiple routes to return.
@@eddyram4932 I am locked, I had no ferrystones or portalcrystals
Anyway I ended up using a cheat engine table to spawn me ferrystones and portalcrystals to TP back
In hindsight I should've just used the cheat engine table to unlock the class instead of going in this painful journey
Should note that the dwarf will take any of the common flowers you pick up along the way the term wildflowers doesn't necessarily mean anything specifically hell take pitywort or any of the other basic medicinal flowers for crafting
The dwarf doesnt appear, even if i triggered his wife. Any suggestions ? I did my way at lvl 22 downwards through Bakbatthal and to the dwarf location. Waited a few days but nothing. Theres a griffon near by, do you need to kill it first ? Any suggestions ? Thanks for the help
I actually used Mystic Spearhand to get across the bridge !!
Getting jailed in batthal+feintless form thief skill is the best way to do it. Achieved it at level 13, you still need 2 or 3 wakestones, it was tense af.
Goal is to place a portcrystal a volcanic camp. Makes escorting the dwarf easy.
I tried taking this route yesterday thru the cave and the cutscene triggers anyway. Now now you're REALLY far away from the guardian and have no way of catching up
Am sooooooo soon as we got to the door of the before entering, My pawns killed the old man which was very strange, I think it was a glitch in the game, But I still carried him to the Hot springs but was not able to finish because he was dead so his wife never came
I actually ended up stumbling upon the checkpoint town just exploring the mountains lol
So I got jumped by a Griffin when guiding the Dwarf and I think it kidnapped him?! He flew away and he was gone... what do I do now?
Yeah my guy is gone too and I can’t find him
The Griffin killed the dwarf for me. Not sure if I can get him back now.
He hasn't respawned for me, he's not in the Morgue to be revived yet the quest doesn't say its been failed or anything 🤷♂️
Any tips for waiting for the ox cart that you sneak through the gate on? I’m not seeing one after waiting for 30+ min..
Try looking away from road into a wall or the gate, seems like things are less likely to spawn if its in your field of vision. I usually wait 1-2 minutes, turn around and walk down the road. I've never had to wait over a few minutes.
@@ArekkzGaming no luck with the cart yet, unfortunately.. going on two hours of attempting to get a cart to spawn! must be something else along the way that is needed that hasn't been discovered yet.
Update: If you venture outside of the city across the bridge by the wait spot for the ox cart, you may get a spawn on the left side of the forked road. just keep in mind your cart may not spawn on the road in the city!
Thanks for the guide.
@@numerousactuary6640
Had to go out by the fork!
Thanks for the suggestion
Sleep til morning at the inn then wait on a bench twice. Should be a little afar from the bridge at Rest town entrance.
This was reeeeally pretty hard when I started at level 14, but somehow I’ve managed to get through it and done it at level 18, so it’s not impossible, but stressful and long, fingers crossed it’s worth it.. not looking forward to the long walk back home haha
If you’re having trouble getting through the desert, just jump out of the oxcart when you get to the otherside of the gate and let the guards apprehend you. You will end up in bakbattahl and it’s easier to get to the island from there without having to go through the desert.
Getting jailed means losing half your money. So make sure to spend as much as possible on useful stuff, like heal items and ferrystones, before doing that trick
@@tlotpwist3417 i escapeed without paing anything..i found the key in the room :D
that jail is a labirint :( how did u manage?
I love this game. Decided to get this vocation at lvl 50. Breezed thru caves. But yeah, waited till 50.
You think I can get it level 30
Do any of these steps interfere with the progression of any quests?
No. If you go through the back way before you get a certain "special item" that opens the big door then you can explore that whole area and it actually helps you later depending on how you meet the final quests.
@@ThePheonixIsBurning thanks!!
How long does it take for the cart to arrive? Been standing here for about 20 mins now..? Also found a bench and dozed off and still nothing?
Watch the tutorial by gibbles gaming on how to get in
Cheers mate, I got the magick archer vocation In the end and I'm glad I made the effort to do so as it's awesome!
Nice! Was able to get mine at level 10
@@EliteTriggerControl were there any mandatory fights you had to do on the path after getting in the cart or can you just run through everything / carry the dwarf through all the mobs
@@ooldmage there were a few but I was able to just run and let warriors tank/distract.
Just got it thnx to your guide 😄 but i gotta say it was a real struggle. That area is really unforgiving 😢
If you low level, bring the old man to vocanic spring is the pain in the ass
Do you have to be an archer to become a magic archer? Or can you switch the vocations?
I was only level 30 attempting this and the sun went down.. I picked the dwarf up and screamed the whole way 😭
But I got it! 🎉❤
so, a dwarf has back pains, I carry grandpa to the thermals and her spying wife just skidaddle out of a corner and hands out the vocation to me, with the maisters ultimate skill, OK makes sense.
I was using a mod that makes the enemies hit harder and I do less dmg to them. This took me 3 hours total. Counting from checkpoint town forward. I was lvl12. Take that as you will
I got this somewhere around level 15 and let me say good luck. You better git gud because the journey is a nightmare. That's not the end of the magic archer unlocking. What you need to do is go unlock warfarer after that since you will go right to the guy that unlocks it to finish the quest (bring 3 newt liquor on the journey and a port crystal if you have one) and then use a magic bow, daggers, and a staff. That's the real magic archer and it's a pale imitation of the god-like power it used to be. They nerfed it into the ground and it's still really strong with avalanche so now I just need to find my magic rebalancer 😏
How easy do you want this game to be if you think it was “nerfed into the ground.” 😂
@@Jayyrains I mean if you played it in the first game then I think you could easily see that it is. I'm not saying it isn't strong but it isn't a solo class anymore because you get targeted without any real way to get out of it. I mean I could take time to actually explain it to you but judging by your witty comment I doubt you're actually interested in how it was nerfed. So yeah, totally...new magic archer go BRRRR and all that. It's like way better than it ever was... 🤡
@@ThePheonixIsBurning It clearly wasn’t nerfed into the ground if it’s still strong af. Literally could use another nerf if anything. Ong the first game must have been EASY af if you oldheads are whining about magick archer and skull splitter not being as strong as they were.
Literally was trying to complete this but got impatient bc I was doing the regalia sword quest and so I left him behind when I was escorting him looks like I’ll be going back to him I didn’t know I’d get the vocation from him 💀
yea except my oxcart to that rest point city was destroyed by a minotaur and so i ran ahead. then to be low on health and for some reason all the random guard patrols attack me, stone goblins, hobgoblins surround every campfire. 2 dragons and a hioppgyph. thanks to this guide i am completely stuck and just have to delete my save and start over
Listen to me Arisen ! I never suffered so much to get there in early ....it was a suffering tons of mini bosses enemy's harpies wolfes gobling hobgoblins humans magical golems ....and a maze .....rock lizards in close tunnels blockeds tunnels pits .....big pits ....trolls indoor....gods ...i was lvl 13 never have i ever suffered this much but it was worth it
I jumped over to the girl's side at the hot spring, and to my shock, I was not judged. Absolutely nothing was said about it. The ladies just acted naturally. I forgot to mention something that will undoubtedly help those of you who saved the gifted wine bottle from the Vern area. If you combine it with a saurian tail you get the newt liquor! I didn't have to run to batahl for it.
Most helpful guide I have found. Appreciate it!
He never said hey watch for all the higher enemies or the two giant trolls on the way. To save you some anger, play the game normally and level up to get the vocation 👍
What if by chance I "accidentally" threw the dwarf off a edge since he kept groaning in my ear when I was trying to kill a boss
I cant find my way through the stupid cave I killed everything but end up at a wall with a ladder dangling above that I cant reach? Did I go the wrong way?
I'm on level 27 and on vocation mystic spearhead with shield which of course the best skill in the game... literally i leave everything to my pawn and use shield and a little finisher to get there easily although it's not easy when encountering griffin lmao.
is it too early to go there at lvl 16? are there any bosses which could insta kill u in that area? thank you anyway!
I did it at lvl 26 but had a real struggle
I can’t get through the cave, there is a releasable ladder in there but I have no way to access it???? Help???
I lost the old dwarf man he’s not back at his house what do I do??my quest changed must’ve reset because it says to bring him the wildflowers again but he’s not there either! 🤦🏻♂️
He died. I cant find him. Where is his body. Can i reset the quest somehow. Does he go to a morgue. Wtf is going on. I need a nap.
Bro same its1217 am I'm tired this is horse shit got him to the town and he died.
I lost the dwarf and I think he’s dead, no one else has had this guy problem, how do I fix it, I really need this sorted
Another thing about jumping to all these classes fast and early into the game and skipping all of it is not recommended. Because then your game gets kind of messy. Then you get stuck on that side of the map. You're overleveled, you can't do your story mode because you're stuck so far away. Now I have to restart the game. And nobody has those things to tell a poor back so that's a long walk
I'm standing there a lot of time and went for a nap and no cart is coming through that big gate.
Edit: it came after like 10 min.
Meanwhile this is probably the first guide that is very badly made from you Fex.. you don't say a word about that the road after getting through that gate is almost impossible to beat. You are dying by 1 hit from enemies.
so what if he died when i try bringing him to the camp?
What lvl do you suggest doing this I just tried and got my ass handed to me at lvl 15 now I’m stuck behind the gate lol
Probably around 25 is easier. But if you want it sooner you will need to get your RUN on!
Im going as soon as I get the shield from Mystic Spearhand it's the only way I can get past all these enemies without dying 30+ times
I'm doing it at 35 and it's ridiculously easy. You could prolly do it at 15-20. All the ogres only have 2 health bars.
@@DrierHyperion21 for me it's not the ogre that are the problem it's all the trash mobs like the hobgoblins they can stunlock you with almost all of their attacks.
@@Alt0001 it still wasn't that hard. Just use Mystic Spearhand and spam the shit outta your shield spell, you'll be alright.
Can you still get the vocation if you don’t understand the Language?
Can someone help I got the Spellbows Paradox but I cant use it? Do u need a certain lvl? Iam lvl 38 atm pls help me.
Hey if you're at the checkpoint instead of trying to go through their get arrested. The literally for bring you into the dungeon. Air Force skipping a huge amount of journey
So get arrested in that checkpoint town?
Think it’s been fixed. Waited at the rest town gate for 45min with no cart traveling 😢
You have to go away from the town for a few so the cart you arrived on despawns and then head back the cart to go through the gate will spawn
The cart stops everytime I get on without paying. Also the last few oxcarts don't have the awning, mine are all open.
Finished it got back to the castle gate and can’t get back in I don’t know if I have to wait for the carriage or something
Do this as a thief and use the formless feint skill with stamina consumables to keep the skill going all the way through. Enemies are no longer a threat. You're welcome.
1-2 minutes ?! Ive been waiting for toooooo dang long
WOWWWW AS SOON AS I COMMENT THIS IT COMES !?
Him calling it Ver-Month was very frustrating. Lol
So I didn't know about the cart, I instead took the path with the rock lizards and boss rush fighting a cyclops, minotaur and chimera before finally getting to the canyon/desert. My pawns fell off a cliff and a drake landed immediately right ontop of the rift stone. Not even ten steps away there was a griffin. I escaped both with just my main pawn. Fuck sake, I only just got to Drabnir's Grotto after fighting tooth a nail. I started at lv 24 and am almost 30. This SUCKS.
I leveled all mine up to around 6 theif and warrior master race.
lol I found that old dude at the end before I even unlocked the class I got 2 in one
Well, my level 17 ass got killed for more than a hour non stop, all pawns died and i am stuck
zThanks man!
I didn’t get the maister skill, why?
Now how do i return to a safe zone im lvl 14 and tried this and i cant fast travel help pls
I started this journey around level 15..im 24 now just from the journey. Being an archer helps so much. But a good mage and tank equals "chefs kiss"
I still died a lot. But so much fun. In the cave now and man... Just confusing as to which direction to go
haven’t played it yet but dang reading all the comments maybe this was a bad idea? lol seems like a hard adventure game
Annoyingly i walked over to that side of the map give him the flowers and never went to his house, im now back at capital and no portcrystal down that side of the map
important tip. incanting rings dont work with magic archer
Which cave?
Does this affect the main quest progression?
How did you get there though… I keep dying on my way but want to play this on my playthrough. Plz help!!
You need to hire higher level pawns . It's NOT easy esp if your main is low level.
took hours but I finally got it! had to cheese a lot of the mini-bosses such as fighting them near the water so the brine killed them lol
WARNING: way harder than it looks - at the very last part before you actually find the dwarf you'll need to go through a huge cave with tons of goblins
I'm at the door and the ox cart isn't appearing. Is there anything I can do?
I have the same issue
Don't forget to rest at an inn before you attempt this or you lose a few hours if you decide to give up... Don't be like me kids lol. It was only a couple of big monster fights I have to redo but dang I could have swore I rested at an in before I tried this... Oh well back to the regular game I guess.
When you are fighting a dragon or any large enemy and you knock it to the ground, how do you do the critical hit to the head with the archer? With other classes it is with the triangle on the console and you stick the sword in its head, but with the bow, what button do you press there?
You don't.
Well I know the archer stomps on knocked down enemies, try standing on the head and hit triangle
what spear is that bro and where u get it?
I didn get a skill martyr bolt from master, where can i get it.
me to
WARNING!!!! DO NOT TRY THIS EARLY GAME!!! You have a possibility to soft lock your game. The area is a late game area and the enimes are not easy to run away from. Just wait to unlock it naturally. I might have to delete my save and start over because of this....
What do you mean by soft lock?
Even at level 30 this is a difficult trip…definitely doable but you will die a lot.
how do i get back past the gate one ive got the magik archer??
ferrystone?
Since he didnt mention it. Look out to the sheer amount of difficult abd mini boss enemies. Its absurd
Has this been patched no oxcart comes up to the big gate for me
Same 😂
The old man died on me but the marker still shows where to go. Sucks but o well
These fools on the other side broke the bridge…. How do I get there now?!
I can’t get the cart to spawn
This quest is BUGGED! I died while traveling with him and it reset me back at his place while he is still following me BUT it’s still giving me the deliver flowers to him quest! I tried talking to him but he acts like he doesn’t know me now!! WHILE FOLLOWING ME! I had to reset back to my inn save which was like 15hrs of gameplay! I’m beyond done with this game bro. Went from lvl 28 back to level 20 at starting city. Now ima have to redo all the battahl storyline. F this game bro
