Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! This game has so much depth of mechanics and so many ways to approach it, I just love figuring out the strategies for these runs. Absolutely a pleasure putting these together!
Thanks for the content! On top of that your narrative style is clear and intriguing, really think you have a lot of potential. look forward to more of your vids
I'm happy to hear that! I definitely have more videos I want to make, but I'm in the process of moving so things are a little busy now and likely will continue to be after I finish, but I definitely won't stop making videos! The frequency just may diminish. Of course, I'll definitely be back for Dragon's Dogma 2 as well!
Thanks! I really appreciate that! The principles behind the two are definitely the same even though they both play differently. I find it super fun to figure out though, albeit a little frustrating. Haha
Arguably much harder, since in dark souls you get used to the I frames of rolling and rng of attacks, but in DD it's way too random haha and you can get hit by weird shit very easily
Great run! Love how laid back it feels. I learned a lot of new wisdom on how the isles work. I will see the run in its entirety as I go. I'm on my first playthrough of the game. Seeing these bosses get absolutely melted into milkshake feels great from all the troubles they gave felt fresh. Just realised apart from the elder troll dude, I got all the bad rolls on my run up until the Archbishop of Canterbury. lol I just defeated him now, it was an surmountable task that ate the whole afternoon on a level 50 character. What was originally a strider and Mystic Knight for cosplay reasons. Dragon spit and throw bombs help a lot in the fight. I'll give assassin-magic archer a shot. Thanks for making my evening! Cheers!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I love Bitterblack Isle so seeing someone get interested makes me happy. Just a note. The very first time you go through BBI is different from every run after you complete it the first time because it has specific room configurations it always uses (with few exceptions). Once you complete it once is when it enters the configurations that I talk about in the video. That being said, the strategies I employ still do work to some extent because the enemies aren't new, just in different locations. I hope you enjoy pushing through it though! Bishop is my favourite fight so if you made it through him you're doing alright!
@@LocalTicoBroje It's great places to just run through. I see its appeal. Fast pace, great enemy placement, challenging every run. Went to upgrade the Chaos set, ended up staying for story and enemies. lol I was suprised when I saw your run. I thought it was similar for everyone, enemies felt like health sponges, until I realised it was I that was the problem. As for configurations, I didn't even know you could see the undead priests twice before the Bishop fight. To know it changes after every clear, is good news. It was challenging but never unfair...yet. I had even more trouble fighting the eye. Seeing you absolutely obliterate its health was a sight for sore eyes. I was questioning my whole character. lol I did do a lot of saving and tactically retreating to get to the Bishop. I think I'll level up, push on to the next boss. At this point I've completely forgotten about the campaign and there's a dragon on the loose. I'm sure citizens of Gransys will figure it out...somehow. lmao Anyways, have a good one. I'll see it fully when I finish my run and your other runs as well. See ya later.
I got this game on sale last week, I'm level 55 and too nervous to touch BBI. Your knowledge of this place is truly impressive, so thats gonna be a sub and like from me dawg. Amazing run
I'm glad you enjoyed it and that you are playing the game! Bitterblack is definitely daunting the first time. But it actually is different the first run through versus every subsequent one. So I'd say if you have finished the main story and gotten the weapon reward you're ready!
So do you have a video of a first run through? I'm kinda stuck I've opened up the first shortcut but there's a door that needs a void key to open that I can't figure out where it is
Fantastic run with running commentary, great knowledge, superb execution...hats off dude! Most people cannot remember the amount of rooms and the placement of enemies etc just cause of the darkness that gets you.. and repeated layouts.. it''s just crazy how so many get to do this like a dance :D kudos! waiting on how people are gonna receive Dragon's Dogma 2 and make such guides and basically kill it! XD I love Nihil for his great and precise commentary, plus calm explanation.. had similar vibes! Love it! Instant subscribe! BTW First video i saw of yours :D Keep Rocking!!!!
Thanks! I really appreciate that! I wish I had more time to devote to making these because they are great fun to do the commentary on (if a bit tiring)! But I absolutely love Nihils content. I may know BBI like the back of my hand, but he seems to know how each and every ability and augment works to a degree I've never even attempted. But I love this game, so I hope DD2 gives me the opportunity to have a similar dance as I have with BBI.
btw just before damion between the final enemies and the door there are 2 skeletons that have a very high chance of giving rift crystals so its one of the best places to get them in that room. i would say 90% rift crystals and 10% skulls.
There are honestly a few good ones. I hope they give us a lot of unique ones next time though. I'd prefer fewer flat stat bonuses like clout next time.
is this BBI after you killed daimon for the first time because i am playing in hardmode too and i still get wolfs and snakes in the beginning of the dungeon.
He left a rift crystal behind at 11:22 OMG how could you. I logged into my account the other day after 10 years and realised I still had pawns with me. Had them hostage for a decade. Then was like but my pawn is still out there! After resting I received a ridiculous amount of rift crystals and no idea what to use it for.
Sorry for the late reply. I never got a notification and only just found I had comments I hadn't replied to. :( To answer your question, yes. Strider to 10 and then assassin the rest of the way. Most of my runs are exclusively in the vocation I intend to play at (or as close to it as possible given you can't start as 6 of them).
Thought magic attack had no effect on your petma enchanted weapons, the magic attack of the enchanted weapon being the only source of damage. It stacks?
Honestly, i think it depends on the ability you are using. Your actual attacks FEEL like they are a bit stronger with this much magic compared to other times where I've used them without. Especially fighting magick weak goes, like ghosts or P2 Living Armor. But really I'd have to really study numbers and so on, because it NOT working was what I expected and thought would happen.
So yes, it is hard mode. But the spawns do not change for that. The reason my spawns are different is because after you beat BBI the first time you can go through again and get different spawns. The first playthrough is always the same, but after the first, each room has 2 different spawns configurations it randomizes. This only becomes the case after you beat the boss of the entire dungeon though.
Acuity is an augment learned as a sorcerer. You have to raise the sorcerer vocation rank up to a certain point. I don't remember how high, but I would guess around rank 8.
Thanks! I appreciate it! I've been playing DD2 today/yesterday. It's been brilliant so far! I've been streaming it on Twitch too, but I can only really stream during the weekends. I'm too busy during the week. As for plans for videos afterwards, it'll be dependent on whether there is a place like BBI in this game. I really love progressing through that dungeon. If they have something similar, I'd likely go for No-Hit runs again. But we will have to see.
hail brother yeah just noticed that you uploaded a part1 or full game video on DD2(well prob not full game) I ll try to watch at least an hour of it since right now just looking for the type of DD2 NO PAWNS/HARD kind of more challenging playthroughs take your time with it man try go in depth and be Thorough no matter if it gets low reception or whatever i hope you ll go all full solo? but i ll be ok if you have your main Pawn at your side blessings man and hope you ll grow to love the game despite whatever flaws it may have the combat looks sick/slick and fun as i love it
@@GothicXlightning haha thanks. I'm a pretty slow player when a new game comes out because I like to investigate everything. So despite putting up like 7 hours of video, we didn't get very far into the actual story. It'll take me weeks to finish if I only play on the weekend. But once I finish, I'm sure I'll start doing challenges again. Especially if there is a dungeon like BBI. I'll have to see what endgame has for us. But I've been loving it so far!
take your time with it brother do never rushed i have also done long indepth SOLO/HARD type of playthrough vids series for original masterpiece so i know how it feels i think we both are similar am also into the whole Solo, Hard and depending on the game (No-Hit runner) i think i did upload the first SOLO/HARD MODE staying as FIGHTER playthough on YT was also Roleplaying the Skull Knight of BERSERK well more like making my Arisen after the same concept etc so yeah i get hardcore when it comes the passion for good games such this looking forward to see your Challenge runs i still need to see your full Assassin BBI video and then i will like to see your FIGHTER one as well i am all about ASSASSIN/FIGHTER/MYSTIC'KNIGHT for this games ;D glad that you are liking it man keep having epic fun with it and again respects and appreciation for your time and for the good uploads
@@GothicXlightning fighter and warrior are both no hits for BBI that I never did. The only two. I don't have the reaction time to make them happen, I don't think. Lol not without using items at least. So my hat is off to you for doing one! But yeah. The first game really made figuring out how to do it solo/hard a rewarding feeling. I hope they capture that well this time.
It's mostly just having the strongest weapons/good augments. But for assassin, there is a trick where you can use the force hatchet which stacks damage as you hit things so long as you aren't hit yourself. When it is stacked it is very strong. The best part is, it allows you to use the bow as an assassin with the sword equipped and it'll buff the bow damage. That's why some of the attacks are stronger than normal.
I love making new characters every time. So few games let us change individual eyes that sometimes it seems like we have to play with that feature just to justify it! It looks awesome too!
Hahaha, Assassin is pretty strong, but I actually like Sorcerer a bit more. And in fact I find it a bit easier to use, even though you have to stand still to cast. Sorcerer just requires a bit more knowledge and prep since you need to know elemental weaknesses, whereas assassin has a somewhat linear idea of what is strong.

Amazing run dude, that was pretty clean indeed ✊
Thanks! I can't wait to see what they give us in 2 to try and build strategies for that one as well.
@@LocalTicoBroje me too man, cheers.

I know this video is old, but i really appreciate the commentary. It's very helpful for a relatively new player like me
Frl I was able to find Damion and figured out where the hydra at the start of the game ran off too
This is on par with a no hit dark souls run in my opinion. Incredibly impressive, what an amazing watch!!!
Thanks! I really appreciate that! The principles behind the two are definitely the same even though they both play differently. I find it super fun to figure out though, albeit a little frustrating. Haha
@LocalTicoBroje I agree it can be fun to learn the broken parts of the game It reminds me of looking up glitches as a kid lol

Oh that's interesting. I did not know that. I do know which skeletons you're talking about though. I just usually ignore that gather point.
Preemption was and always will be one of the best Augments in the game.
There are honestly a few good ones. I hope they give us a lot of unique ones next time though. I'd prefer fewer flat stat bonuses like clout next time.
Nice work.
is this BBI after you killed daimon for the first time because i am playing in hardmode too and i still get wolfs and snakes in the beginning of the dungeon.

Wow amazing dude. Whats your favorite class?
My favourite is strider, because I love fracture dart; but close behind is mystic Knight because the shield is so satisfying!
Hey ! Great run first of all!! :)
Can you tell me how you lvld this build ? Just 10 lvl strider and then full assassin ?
Sorry for the late reply. I never got a notification and only just found I had comments I hadn't replied to. :(
To answer your question, yes. Strider to 10 and then assassin the rest of the way. Most of my runs are exclusively in the vocation I intend to play at (or as close to it as possible given you can't start as 6 of them).
@@LocalTicoBroje thank you for your reply :)
I went with Strider, Ranger, both to lvl 10 and finished with Magick Archer till the end. Great times.

Acuity is an augment learned as a sorcerer. You have to raise the sorcerer vocation rank up to a certain point. I don't remember how high, but I would guess around rank 8.
SOLO/ HARD as i always love playing it
wander what plans you may have for DD2?
