Hey off topic sorry to bother u guys I'm just curious how u linked parts of vid in comment I've commented sections a lot in video but never did a hyper link and it would be super useful especially for click baity vids
@@ShadowScytheReaper Justin Green it's pretty easy, once you know. For typical videos that are less than an hour long, you type in the actual time. So at 12 minutes and 13 seconds you would type 12:13 and youtube automatically stamps that. For longer videos it woul be like 1:23:45 (I think)

Honestly, this game is amazing. I've played it a total of 3 times; twice on the ps3 and currently on the switch which I've poured 300 hours in. Your absolutely right, this game never gets old.

Sad fact of playing a sorcerer, unfortunately. "Spam HFB" is the "just spam potions!" method found commonly in most other RPGs. Alternatively, you can roll with four sorcerers and chain-cast bolides, gicels and seisms with Salomet's Secrets stacked 4 times, but it's just as braindead as spamming HFB for a few minutes.
Hey anyone please help iam playing on Nintendo switch can't seem to figure out how holy focus bolt works its listed in my core skills as focus bolt tried using a holy staff its just puts the circles around me
Yesterday i was playing DMC5 and i have to say Cavaliere angelo boss fight was amazing and spectacular,i can only imagine how great Dragons dogma 2 would be in RE2 engine if Hideaki Itsuno decide to make sequel...so please dear god let this happen.
I doubt DD2 would use the RE engine, unless: a) it handles open world really well or b) the entire game will be more like BBI and c) main character and pawns will have presets of looks to choose from and change hair/eye/makeup at most. They could surprise us and actually pull it off, with open world and proper character editor, but I doubt it. It's more likely they would use MHW engine or something.
@@Sam_Dragonborn1 but i beated a drake at level 20 with it how is that not op ? Only a few magic csnnons and half a health bar is down. Im new to the game by the way
It's amazing how I can still learn things about this game after all these years and something like 4 thousand hours played. I never knew that about Holy Focused Bolt doing more damage when it fires sideways. That's bonkers.

@@atlusshadowmane yep. But even then I'd wish their abilities and weapons had a damage boost to them, considering no other class uses them, it's odd their heavy weaps are only a bit stronger than their similarly tiered other weapons.
Your videos make me love this game more and more, great stuff. For me, I’m always going in balls deep on Damion so I always bring some curatives, especially on warrior. I’ve never been too fond on your somewhat passive/patient playstyle but I’ve always adapted your advice to my own playstyle. All power to you and these videos.
Good. I am happy that my material brings more value to the game for you. And that's key, I never show exactly "how to" more of "observe and interperate to your own"
@@Nihil0.0 a casual walkthrough of every discoverable area in the normal game would be quite relaxing and fun to watch tbh. Could be running around super fast with Assassin (to get it done faster), or just strolling with a Magick Knight shield slung over the back of the character lol
Lol, played the game since 2015, and thought I was a master at it... until I watched this video. Absolutely blew me away, with the capabilities of the Archery based classes. Great work man, you earned another sub.
I used to fight Daimon like "whatever" but with these videos I actually started paying attention to enemies actions and realising that he uses opposite hands for ingle and comestion just left me in awe. I really love this game.
A more effective way to use Arc here isn't to charge it behind a pillar and get the last bit of his vortex to pull you in, but I found that just letting him suck you closer the whole time you're charging arc will place you just right (if you spaced it well) to slam him in the face and knock him down before the vortex even ends. The only issue is that you need a stamina curative for afterwards, but if you're charging arc you won't stop until you release it, even if he completely drains your stamina while sucking you over. You'll also be in a better position to actually hit him in the head rather than just his legs/body.
Dude I absolutely LOVE that you did a vid for this. I've been waiting for when you would just show off all vocations and their skills against him! ❤️❤️❤️
That was fun. The stun/knockback ability of HFB made me proud. Fighter did worse than I expected but I could guess that based on how long it took me to beat him with MK on my first few runs. Nice job showing them all. Not sure there's another video quite like this one.
Oh yeah, that HFB vs Daimon is ideal. Boring, but ideal. Fighter struggles with Daimon second form, especially solo, when if you climb you are always aggro, so climbing is near impossible. Same for Warrior
Thank you so much for this, as I've been sorta struggling with Daimon as an assassin (Though, I am not at all correctly geared or levelled out for him, as I'm mid 80s at the moment level-wise)
Just an FYI Holy Focused Bolt tends to do more damage the further away it starts from the target. You will do considerably more damage per shot if you aim away from Daimon instead of directly toward him. You notice this in the video when you do your "angle shot" it hits a lot harder than your normal shots when you are close to Daimon.
On the topic of Mystic Knight - If you're willing to rely on good attack rng, holycounter synergizes really well with great cannon, especially vs daimon. It has an extremely high number of procs/sec so if you land a holycounter ontop of your cannon, it absolutely shreds.
First encounter of diamon provide a fun and challenging experience, it's a worthy opponent indeed(no potion and pilgrim). The bgm and atmosphere are great. Post diamon is another story, his second form is extremely dangerous. I can either kill him really quick with potion and pilgrim or he kills me with ease.
That was the best use of equips and skills that I ever saw for a assassin against Daimon. The use of hatchet as a boost and a dodge with the full moon slash was really clever, same for the enhanced response to climb to the top of his head 🙄😍 Just amazing, as always ♡ I am still watching so maybe I comment more later 😆 -- Daimon: cast spells, kick, punch, open vortex, transform Mage Nil: jump and side HFB Daimon: "Am I a joke to you?" 😂
I lose it laughing everytime Daimon does that big, Tekken leg sweep. Idk, it seems out of character for me. Anyways, I'm loving your content and vast knowledge of this game.
God, i hope they make a Dragon's Dogma 2... and hopefully it's better balanced for Fighters and Warriors... holy crap, *especially* warriors. Still not sure how they thought it was a great idea to stick warrior with 3 skills while mage and sorcerer get 6... not that it'd change much when you still don't have time for more than a quick swipe- but still!
Because warrior can one shot almost everything with Arc of oblivion... They don't need 6 skills when they can destroy everything with 3. Besides. You can only have three skills equipt at a time. I like that they don't make me feel like I'm missing out. Im doing an assassin build currently and I hate that I can't have the poison stab move because of how good the other moves are. With warrior I don't have to worry about that I have all I need there ready to go.
@@tesladrew2608 everything would be more fun with more abilities. Doesnt mean they need to them but still warrior with more abilities would be fun to play around with different ability combos. Maybe if theres a god they will make a DD2
Strider is one of, if not, THE best classes to take him down. Fracture Dart and Brain Splitter is all you need. Eminence is a must. Barbed Nails x2 is an option. As soon as his Vortex starts, fracture dart him and continue. His 2nd form is stupid vulnerable to fracture dart, he will be forever staggered to death. Curatives? Harspud juice and some Pyrepipe or some of the Giant Fish you find in BBI. Maybe one or two Liquid Vims.
No way to block or dodge, needs to play in red for dmg to be worth anything, no range attack, only 3 skills. Warrior is definitely a high-risk low-reward vocation, but you can genuinely feel like Guts from Berserk with it. Which honestly makes up for most of it's shortcomings.
There's no arm cannon or throwing knives though. Not to mention lack of berserker armor for that suicidal speed + strength boost. It's like playing as golden age Guts against Nosferatu while every other vocation is an anime character.
@@Raldavar fair enough, just pointed out a rather poor argument. The strength of skills should not affect the amount of skills. Diversity is the key for a great experience
@@Raldavar maybe if they let you change between 2h Weapons, and double weapons like 2 swords/maces the game doesn't feel so crap for warriors, and doesn't have sense, the assassin have better strength x lvl, excuse me, I am warrior, I am wielding FUCKING LIKE 70KG WEAPONS
Biggest tip is don't listen to those who say min/max. Just try all of the vocations out and then continue as which vocation you enjoyed the most. Other tips, i have many videos, specifically my "Info" playlist, that has some helpful things to know. I have a "schematics" video for all 9 vocations, which shows all of the skills and role of said vocation. Keep your gear upgraded for best results, and that's about it. This isn't Dark Souls, this isn't Monster Hunter, it's unique
@@Nihil0.0 me too need some advice maybe. My MA MAG only a 1300 (with some gears I wore below), and my level was 181 atm. My dragons breath, and other equipments aren't golden dragonforging's yet. Am I miss something to build my characters buffed on? I'm not follow the "plans" either. This was my first characters to play with. Or sadly I must to start over from beggining, again and threw out my previous equipments nor my valuable items?
you are a fucking legend man, we are not worthy lol I have like 89 playthoughs and counting, and i still haven't gotten bored. I hope they make a sequel (online doesnt count)
With assassin. I like using gale harness with daggers and showdown with shield. The added dmg with the speed helps. I also use master kill and instant reset. I cant believe how useful instant reset can be in certain situations. For example. If i misunderstand an attack and predict wrongly with my masterkill, i can instantly just roll away to safety.
I've decided to do this for my new playthrough Magick archer 95% since they're really effective in bbi Strider pawn because I previously went sorceror pawn but he was a little slow of spells which I understand but I felt as if he was always getting too close so a Strider pawn would imo be effective in doing efficient damage by I doubt people take striders with them into bbi as much as a sorceror pawn but I'm at lvl 26 so it's a bit too early stage for pawns to be rented unless its friends renting and giving good ratings just for the sake of it since she was rented once and got 4 stars on everything but idk if that carried over from my previous pawn, he had the same ratings
I was playing assassin, i died around 30 times. Always after he entered his 2 form. What i noticed about the first form. Is it doesnt matter how far you actually are. There will be certain moments where he will go for the grab attack even when i was close to him. Either way. Dodging it is difficult. But running to the right is 90% of the time what i do since it works. I also jump to make sure the low hit ox wont touch me.
I picked up this game again recently and played the whole thing as a warrior. Second phase Daimon becomes extremely easy when you realize you can perma stagger him to death by climbing on and attacking his back
@@harryunderwood9387 the video suggest the players as Dark Arisen which is false. Also, in my opinion, Ashe is still considered an Arisen. Daimon however is the Dark Arisen.
@@devilseyecry Again, I suppose it depends on your definition. There's no text saying who actually is the Dark Arisen, or if there even is one. Perspective and interpretation are so helpful.
@@harryunderwood9387 Ashe still exists. He was never gone, per se, but he was trapped inside of his own hatred for the Eternal Ring, which is Daimon. Kill Daimon, and you set Ashe and Olra free. Awakened Daimon is the leftover embodiment, with no Ashe trapped inside. You're essentially fighting an angry, monstrous shell.
Hmm, makes sense for HFB to do more damage sideways, as each bolt will have a higher chance of hitting the Daimon's head. If it's launched forward you'll have some hit its torso far more often.
granted this, my reply, is a bit dated, but the blue grab is actually really easy to dodge, roll forward and to the right, just gotta get the timing on it down, just a little after he reaches you. Great vid tho, really enjoyed watching it. Haven't played DDDA in about a year and have sunk a lot of time into it, i might have to play it again now :)
I remember when I used to Daimon run with sorcerer I would always do jumping focus bolt charges and shots. I always thought it was slightly faster that way. Do you know if it is?
@@seenyab4494 jumping and hfb does the same damage. The thing that happens with jumping or aiming away is that distance is created. Jumping prior will let the bolts get greater momentum.
Hey awesome video as always, I was wondering are you active in any other platform? like Discord, Reddit or something? I think it would be easier to reach you out if that's what you want
Well my friend told me I was crazy to fight daimon as a warrior, he call me a mad man, turns out you can just climb on daimon's head and beat the ever living shit out of him and there's nothing he can do about it.
That's because he didn't min max or use buffs. Physical characters with 4 strength perihapts wreck this guy in around 3 minutes. 5 seconds if you're a ranger with explosive arrows. Same for magical characters.Sorcerors absolutely destroy this guy and his next form in around 3 minutes or so.
@@MapleLeafAce Yes you can play, its beatable to start at level 1 on BBI, that is an existing challenge, you start after defeating the hydra, then going straight to BBI, i did it a few years ago and made it all the way to the end of it (Even the second phase ) its just too grindy, requires a lot of patience, i like to do challenges like this, i'm kind of a masochistic son of a bitch LOLZ
As a mystic knight i use my periapts, cursed light and abyssal anguish to turn it into a chainsaw. Climb his head in both forms and keep hacking while my pawn distracts him. Its super broken, rarely take damage. On my first fight however, my pawns got killed by the rift attack, so i went dark souls on his ass. Parrying and hitting with my mace, observing his moves
for ma i've found that boosted normal shot is best until he uses vortex same for both forms. while he's vortexing or recovering or knockedown 6/9fold is best as it takes him down quickly. do note that pillars will prevent all 6/9fold bolts from hitting if they hit a pillar. as shown here at the end of ma run
Nihil0.0 the man still showing the love after all this time. ❤ On with you and toward infinity!!! uhhh... By the by, have you heard of all the new Dragon's Dogma material (possible Dragon's Dogma game replug and netflix anime)?
You should do a video on what are the best weapons for certain builds like rusted daggers and bow for a slow mo build and stuff like that maybe just a small vid not a huge project
I know its been ages but do you remember your leveling split for Magic Knight? I keep screwing around with the stat planner but i cant match your stats
I always get 2 Rings of Perserverence and then farm rabbits in hard mode or Goblins in normal mode. keeping the exp at around 100exp per kill has the best rate for dcp over experience.
There's another easier way tbh. After you finish killing the dragon and come back to Gran Soren the knights will try to kill you for treason. You get out of tbe area then come back with 3 pawns and leave your pc/console for a while. At this point they deal almost no damage and you'll maximise your chosen vocation and get a lot of discipline.
Is there a reason you don't mention easy farming in under 30 seconds with the ranger? W/ blast arrows? I see so many channels that do ranger Daimon runs and just ignore this. Makes farming a breeze, but I'm always shocked how few people seem to have ever promoted it. Even back 4 years ago when i played this game religiously. Maybe it takes the fun away sure, but it's not like Daimon is a "hard boss" at level 200 anyway.
This I have struggled with. It always sounds very level in editor, but after youtube does their thing in upload, it lowers the mic volume. I am still trying new things, as I have been since the start. It is annoying
did u know about the shield cancel u can cancel ur light attack with daggers in the end so u dont need to sit throw the ending of the hit and 2 hits with the sword and cancel with the shield its not that good but its a nice little trick
I think fighter does better if you use two bloody knuckles + double shield damage bonus enchant and just spam cymbal onslaught with no sword. You can just slap his feet until he falls.
it's almost as though the game was made to be played as anything but fighter and Warrior. the circumstances are too against those 2 Vocations that forces you to play as something else.
That Warrior run looked painful. If you're using Liquid Vim anyway why not use Tagilus's Miracles and Salomet's Secrets and a Tome / Cameo to blitz part 2?
What am I missing on second form? Your killing a health bar with 6 swings at cannon at start, using gold forged totem mace and doesn't do anything to his health
Hello, Nihil, great vid, learned so much about tactics and tips from u and whisper123 in 2020, really love your content) But still have one question: how do u get your camera so high/distant from your char? Is this a mod or smth else? Waitin` for answer in 2020)
Strider it would be the strongest class in the game as a non-magical attack, instead as a magical class it would be Archer Mage ho am I wrong? that is, it is very powerful as a class, but the Paladin would have much more defense possibilities, however I don't understand why the pawns cannot be assassin, paladin, archer, mage, I hope that in 2 it is possible and there were other classes as a type without using only weapons punches and kicks etc, new skills would be nice as well, for old classes regarding Dragon's Dogma 2
in PS4 version haves a bug in post diamond fight, when diamond try pick arisen or pawns with the mouth if you hit an arrow right there in eye region close to mouth, he will be stunned, make this again and again he wiil remain stunned over and over after each blow if you use strider or ranger, so it easy to defeat him.
It's like this on all platforms. Daimon is easily staggered during this animation. I show at 11:50 with Ranger, but then I ran out of stamina to continue the stun lock
@@Nihil0.0 I thought this 'bug' was only on PS4 and I had doubts regarding the other platforms. but the fight against daimon playing as fighter vocation, for example, the duel is much more difficult cause' the focus is in closer combat. characteristic of fighter vocation perhaps.

@@tesladrew2608 everything would be more fun with more abilities. Doesnt mean they need to them but still warrior with more abilities would be fun to play around with different ability combos. Maybe if theres a god they will make a DD2
Strider is one of, if not, THE best classes to take him down. Fracture Dart and Brain Splitter is all you need. Eminence is a must. Barbed Nails x2 is an option. As soon as his Vortex starts, fracture dart him and continue. His 2nd form is stupid vulnerable to fracture dart, he will be forever staggered to death. Curatives? Harspud juice and some Pyrepipe or some of the Giant Fish you find in BBI. Maybe one or two Liquid Vims.
That mystic knight with 1 left on the health bar gave me so much anxiety 😬
No way to block or dodge, needs to play in red for dmg to be worth anything, no range attack, only 3 skills. Warrior is definitely a high-risk low-reward vocation, but you can genuinely feel like Guts from Berserk with it. Which honestly makes up for most of it's shortcomings.
There's no arm cannon or throwing knives though. Not to mention lack of berserker armor for that suicidal speed + strength boost. It's like playing as golden age Guts against Nosferatu while every other vocation is an anime character.
@@Raldavar sorcerers can oneshot a lot of crap at once
still have 6 skills
@@frozenstar8050 Even with 6 skill slots Warrior is still the weakest vocation by far. It needs a rework instead of 3 more skill slots.
@@Raldavar fair enough, just pointed out a rather poor argument. The strength of skills should not affect the amount of skills. Diversity is the key for a great experience
@@Raldavar maybe if they let you change between 2h Weapons, and double weapons like 2 swords/maces the game doesn't feel so crap for warriors, and doesn't have sense, the assassin have better strength x lvl, excuse me, I am warrior, I am wielding FUCKING LIKE 70KG WEAPONS
Quick fact about Ranger: If you are too close, Longbow damage is decreased, too far, damage decreases, Longbow is the epitome of mid range
Gotra say,i dont play dragon dogma but your videos really gets me want to try out
Awesome. Do it Supercuate. It's a great play
It's probably one of the best games of the previous console generation and an instant classic. Get it.
@@Nihil0.0 thanks, any tip for starting out? i just bought it for switch
}
Biggest tip is don't listen to those who say min/max. Just try all of the vocations out and then continue as which vocation you enjoyed the most. Other tips, i have many videos, specifically my "Info" playlist, that has some helpful things to know. I have a "schematics" video for all 9 vocations, which shows all of the skills and role of said vocation. Keep your gear upgraded for best results, and that's about it. This isn't Dark Souls, this isn't Monster Hunter, it's unique
@@Nihil0.0 me too need some advice maybe. My MA MAG only a 1300 (with some gears I wore below), and my level was 181 atm. My dragons breath, and other equipments aren't golden dragonforging's yet. Am I miss something to build my characters buffed on? I'm not follow the "plans" either. This was my first characters to play with. Or sadly I must to start over from beggining, again and threw out my previous equipments nor my valuable items?
0:35:06 You can walk in with the shield ready, but not the weapon (Ex: Inferno Feint, Holy aid, etc)
you are a fucking legend man, we are not worthy lol
I have like 89 playthoughs and counting, and i still haven't gotten bored. I hope they make a sequel (online doesnt count)
Subbed your videos are very well made and interesting
Thanks Starfish. I do try and I appreciate when it's noticed.
With assassin. I like using gale harness with daggers and showdown with shield. The added dmg with the speed helps. I also use master kill and instant reset. I cant believe how useful instant reset can be in certain situations. For example. If i misunderstand an attack and predict wrongly with my masterkill, i can instantly just roll away to safety.
Took me long hours of hiding behind walls with wizard.
Nihil0.0: I am the MAIN REASON why Dragon's Dogma 2 happened.
Capcom: I mean he's right... -_-
:P HAHAHA OOPS
I've decided to do this for my new playthrough
Magick archer 95% since they're really effective in bbi
Strider pawn because I previously went sorceror pawn but he was a little slow of spells which I understand but I felt as if he was always getting too close so a Strider pawn would imo be effective in doing efficient damage by I doubt people take striders with them into bbi as much as a sorceror pawn but I'm at lvl 26 so it's a bit too early stage for pawns to be rented unless its friends renting and giving good ratings just for the sake of it since she was rented once and got 4 stars on everything but idk if that carried over from my previous pawn, he had the same ratings
I was playing assassin, i died around 30 times. Always after he entered his 2 form. What i noticed about the first form. Is it doesnt matter how far you actually are. There will be certain moments where he will go for the grab attack even when i was close to him. Either way. Dodging it is difficult. But running to the right is 90% of the time what i do since it works. I also jump to make sure the low hit ox wont touch me.
I wanna see a complete run through of the Island without running and keep your pawns alive! NOW that would something I've never seen before!
You make the best videos. Thanks for the info.
Thanks Nikki. I do spend a bit of effort on these videos, so I appreciate the acknowledgment
I picked up this game again recently and played the whole thing as a warrior. Second phase Daimon becomes extremely easy when you realize you can perma stagger him to death by climbing on and attacking his back
Thank you for your videos on this beautiful game
Sure thing Vincent. Thanks for being here
I thought Daimon IS the Dark Arisen
Technically Ashe was, but he became the Daimon we see now, so he doesn't exist anymore. It really depends on what you define it as really.
@@harryunderwood9387 the video suggest the players as Dark Arisen which is false. Also, in my opinion, Ashe is still considered an Arisen. Daimon however is the Dark Arisen.
@@devilseyecry Again, I suppose it depends on your definition. There's no text saying who actually is the Dark Arisen, or if there even is one. Perspective and interpretation are so helpful.
@@harryunderwood9387 Fair point
@@harryunderwood9387 Ashe still exists. He was never gone, per se, but he was trapped inside of his own hatred for the Eternal Ring, which is Daimon. Kill Daimon, and you set Ashe and Olra free. Awakened Daimon is the leftover embodiment, with no Ashe trapped inside. You're essentially fighting an angry, monstrous shell.
7:29 Look at that chest face... It's glowing!!!!!!
Hmm, makes sense for HFB to do more damage sideways, as each bolt will have a higher chance of hitting the Daimon's head. If it's launched forward you'll have some hit its torso far more often.
granted this, my reply, is a bit dated, but the blue grab is actually really easy to dodge, roll forward and to the right, just gotta get the timing on it down, just a little after he reaches you. Great vid tho, really enjoyed watching it. Haven't played DDDA in about a year and have sunk a lot of time into it, i might have to play it again now :)
I subscribed to you recently, your content is very good and I appreciate all the help. You got my support brotha.
Nice. Thanks Franko. I am happy that I can help
1hr10min long vid with 90% of it being warrior slashing daimo's knees then dying XD warriors life is a hard one XD but i love love it
Poor Warrior. Always gets the shaft
@@Nihil0.0 a shaft which is used to eviscerate ones ass.... mainly the player tho XD
I kill this boss under 10 mins with warrior
U can easily Dodge the Grab as a yellow vocation when u roll right in Front of him at Like 2-3 o'clock
I remember when I used to Daimon run with sorcerer I would always do jumping focus bolt charges and shots. I always thought it was slightly faster that way. Do you know if it is?
I would imagine so. Last I checked focused bolt did more damage if you jumped and then cast, not sure why he didn’t do it.
@@seenyab4494 jumping and hfb does the same damage. The thing that happens with jumping or aiming away is that distance is created. Jumping prior will let the bolts get greater momentum.
@@Nihil0.0 What about Eminence?
@@eldonhill4840 nope, Eminence only boosts physical damage.
Hey awesome video as always, I was wondering are you active in any other platform? like Discord, Reddit or something? I think it would be easier to reach you out if that's what you want
I am on discord and I have a reddit acount, but youtube is my preferred platform. I just make videos, I'm not trying to be heard or seen per say
Well my friend told me I was crazy to fight daimon as a warrior, he call me a mad man, turns out you can just climb on daimon's head and beat the ever living shit out of him and there's nothing he can do about it.
Amazingly accurate, Good Ser. 👌
Damn.
Chipping down that health bar would be so annoying.
That's because he didn't min max or use buffs.
Physical characters with 4 strength perihapts wreck this guy in around 3 minutes.
5 seconds if you're a ranger with explosive arrows.
Same for magical characters.Sorcerors absolutely destroy this guy and his next form in around 3 minutes or so.
Why not do a BBI LV 1 challenge with all the classes? i would love to watch every single one of those
I refuse to use throwblast and periapts. I hate carrying inventory and pausing. If I can't kill it without, then I wait until I get better gear
Well, fine for me i guess, i'd still love to watch those
Sota Miller it would never work. BBI is meant as content to be played at like level 50 minimum.
You’d never do any damage at level 1.
@@MapleLeafAce Yes you can play, its beatable to start at level 1 on BBI, that is an existing challenge, you start after defeating the hydra, then going straight to BBI, i did it a few years ago and made it all the way to the end of it (Even the second phase ) its just too grindy, requires a lot of patience, i like to do challenges like this, i'm kind of a masochistic son of a bitch LOLZ
@@sotamiller7683 1 yearago but no need to defeat hydra. just go to bbi after pawn creation
36:00 You CAN enter the "Arena" with the Trance ready, only the shield enchant doesnt lasts
7 months later but I don’t think Abyssal Anguish transfers either
First time i hear your voice. XD
Why there is no this incredible music?
Nihil is awesome, as always.
Thank you Fernando
Abyssal anguish 200% *E R E C T*
As a mystic knight i use my periapts, cursed light and abyssal anguish to turn it into a chainsaw. Climb his head in both forms and keep hacking while my pawn distracts him. Its super broken, rarely take damage. On my first fight however, my pawns got killed by the rift attack, so i went dark souls on his ass. Parrying and hitting with my mace, observing his moves
for ma i've found that boosted normal shot is best until he uses vortex same for both forms. while he's vortexing or recovering or knockedown 6/9fold is best as it takes him down quickly. do note that pillars will prevent all 6/9fold bolts from hitting if they hit a pillar. as shown here at the end of ma run
yeah, during the voertex 6fold is great, land it at his head and fairly easy to interupt
I wish we can use Ice spikes spell. it looks nice.
To think he was an arisen himself hell why Gregori doesnt give me that power hehehehe
Nihil0.0 the man still showing the love after all this time. ❤ On with you and toward infinity!!!
uhhh... By the by, have you heard of all the new Dragon's Dogma material (possible Dragon's Dogma game replug and netflix anime)?
Yep, i have heard. I am actually not a fan of anime, but I will still watch.... of course.... I kinda have to
You should do a video on what are the best weapons for certain builds like rusted daggers and bow for a slow mo build and stuff like that maybe just a small vid not a huge project
And I thought you were gonna fight the ones that were arisen once, like death, grigori...
Misunderstood
I'm sure the UR dragon is super old news but do you have a vid I haven't found about spanking him quickly with strider?
I don't have any UR vids, but Strider; Climb and kisses, downpour volley does great
@@Nihil0.0 Thx
You can be way more efficient with warrior and land 3 arcs each time he does his green suck-in nuke move
I came here to see tips on Fighter lmao oh, man
I know its been ages but do you remember your leveling split for Magic Knight? I keep screwing around with the stat planner but i cant match your stats
Que traes puesto!?
I know this is a very old post but I'm a late bloomer. Wouldn't blast arrows be more effective for any of the srchery vocations?
Dude I've never seen that skill 24:02
I just watched your fighter tactics video,how do you get so much discipline at the start of the game?
I always get 2 Rings of Perserverence and then farm rabbits in hard mode or Goblins in normal mode. keeping the exp at around 100exp per kill has the best rate for dcp over experience.
There's another easier way tbh. After you finish killing the dragon and come back to Gran Soren the knights will try to kill you for treason. You get out of tbe area then come back with 3 pawns and leave your pc/console for a while. At this point they deal almost no damage and you'll maximise your chosen vocation and get a lot of discipline.
@@scyred4568 "at the start of the game"
Is there a reason you don't mention easy farming in under 30 seconds with the ranger? W/ blast arrows? I see so many channels that do ranger Daimon runs and just ignore this. Makes farming a breeze, but I'm always shocked how few people seem to have ever promoted it. Even back 4 years ago when i played this game religiously. Maybe it takes the fun away sure, but it's not like Daimon is a "hard boss" at level 200 anyway.
Litle criticism: either raise your voices volume or lower the game. Can be hard hear you at times. Severe example at 3:34
This I have struggled with. It always sounds very level in editor, but after youtube does their thing in upload, it lowers the mic volume. I am still trying new things, as I have been since the start. It is annoying
Warrior player, is the Ring that turns Arc of Deliverance into Arc of Obliteration helpful at all?
It is more powerful, but the big thing with lv3 is more AOE for surrounding enemies, and higher knockdown
1:01:00 This is Bob Barker reminding you to help control the Daimon population - have your Daimon spayed or neutered.
True. Don't want a bunch of little Daimons ruuning the streets.
did u know about the shield cancel u can cancel ur light attack with daggers in the end so u dont need to sit throw the ending of the hit and 2 hits with the sword and cancel with the shield its not that good but its a nice little trick
I think fighter does better if you use two bloody knuckles + double shield damage bonus enchant and just spam cymbal onslaught with no sword. You can just slap his feet until he falls.
it's almost as though the game was made to be played as anything but fighter and Warrior. the circumstances are too against those 2 Vocations that forces you to play as something else.
Another question, have you done a video on the Ur dragon?
Nope. I am not a fan of UR. No real challenge, just a giant hitbox, I feel the same way about Death.
That Warrior run looked painful. If you're using Liquid Vim anyway why not use Tagilus's Miracles and Salomet's Secrets and a Tome / Cameo to blitz part 2?
*me playing solo being ranger*
Wraiths:hello:)
Me: A FU-
I know its been 2 months but
Kill ur dragon and get the heavens key holy enchanted daggers and everyone on BBI is your bitch
Is this video on 360 or One? My set of dukes clothing only has 50some percent stagger resistance (One)
Hey what curative are you using and how do you obtain it
I fucking annihilated Daimon with my magic archer. Took him out in 2 minutes.
ninefold bolt was literally taking a bar and a half of health each hit.
yeah, 9fold will do that, and Blackwing bow will as well
What am I missing on second form? Your killing a health bar with 6 swings at cannon at start, using gold forged totem mace and doesn't do anything to his health
How do you equip weapon while climbing at 18:19 @Nihil0.0
Hello, Nihil, great vid, learned so much about tactics and tips from u and whisper123 in 2020, really love your content) But still have one question: how do u get your camera so high/distant from your char? Is this a mod or smth else? Waitin` for answer in 2020)
On PC, you can adjust field of view in the settings menu. Higher FoV = camera further away.
@@CJWproductions thank u) Will try it next time
why does holy do more damage on the side
Strider it would be the strongest class in the game as a non-magical attack, instead as a magical class it would be Archer Mage ho am I wrong? that is, it is very powerful as a class, but the Paladin would have much more defense possibilities, however I don't understand why the pawns cannot be assassin, paladin, archer, mage, I hope that in 2 it is possible and there were other classes as a type without using only weapons punches and kicks etc, new skills would be nice as well, for old classes regarding Dragon's Dogma 2
in PS4 version haves a bug in post diamond fight, when diamond try pick arisen or pawns with the mouth if you hit an arrow right there in eye region close to mouth, he will be stunned, make this again and again he wiil remain stunned over and over after each blow if you use strider or ranger, so it easy to defeat him.
It's like this on all platforms. Daimon is easily staggered during this animation. I show at 11:50 with Ranger, but then I ran out of stamina to continue the stun lock
@@Nihil0.0 I thought this 'bug' was only on PS4 and I had doubts regarding the other platforms. but the fight against daimon playing as fighter vocation, for example, the duel is much more difficult cause' the focus is in closer combat. characteristic of fighter vocation perhaps.
I'm confused, I remember playing this, I remember beating the game, I dont remember any of these bosses.
This is the DLC Dark Arisen, released in 2012. A major addition of content though
Gran video. Y que equipo lleva el strider y como se consigue
That's Dragon's Rancor and Dragon's Vein. Received from killing Grigori while equipped with Daggers and a Shortbow
