Set forth on your grand adventure, Arisen!
Dragon’s Dogma is a single player, narrative driven action-RPG series that challenges the players to choose their own experience - from the appearance of their Arisen, their vocation, their party, how to approach different situations and more. Now, in this long-awaited sequel, the deep, explorable fantasy world of Dragon’s Dogma 2 awaits.
On your journey, you’ll be joined by Pawns, mysterious otherworldly beings, in an adventure so unique you will feel as if accompanied by other players while on your own adventure.
All of these elements are elevated further through physics technology, artificial intelligence (AI) and the latest in graphics, to create a truly immersive fantasy world in Dragon’s Dogma 2.
Wield swords, bows, and chant magick. The vocations in Dragon's Dogma 2 give you the ability to approach combat the way you want.
Players can customize their own main Pawn, who will always accompany your Arisen, and enter a covenant with up to 2 additional Pawns from other players through the network.
Beyond the town borders, you will encounter diverse monsters that inhabit the lands. You will need to decide between engaging in battles or finding alternatives; so be aware of your party’s setup, the terrain around you, and the monsters you face.
Travelers, merchants, soldiers and other folk go about their daily lives.
Preoccupied by their own objectives and motives, they all exhibit different emotions. At times, they may lead you to a quest by approaching you and asking for a favor.

I think there is a decent argument to be made that if you want to play a specific starting vocation it is actually better to start as a different vocation. Then kill the 6 goblins in the beginning of the game, rest at the first outpost, then retalk to the inn keeper and he will now allow you to switch your vocation for 100 VP, which is roughly what you get for killing the 6 goblins. The benefits for doing this is that you trade 100VP for about 2-3k worth of equipment because vocation changes automatically give you a full starting set of weapons and armor. 3k bonus gold can be very helpful in the early game for getting you a decent ring or armor/weapon upgrade.
Well that's dumb lol
@@marcmuniz2119why’s it dumb??
Bro just play the game normally it's not that difficult of a game. You don't need to be weird like that
Thanks for the tip. I might do that when I start for the starting boost.
@iElectroxGB just seems like picking the vocation you want should be the best way to start out with that vocation. Just me tho lol
Thanks.
(1) Re pawns, you can do an advanced search in the rift menu to find pawns with specific skills, etc. that you want.
(2) Camping gear is reusable, unless it gets destroyed in an attack whilst you're camping.
(3) Vendors who enhance gear will enhance different attributes. For example, Vermundian armours will enhance different attributes to Elven armourers.
(4) In the menu, the ring rotating counter-clockwise around the map represents the time. With the 12 o'clock position being the current time of day.
It took me like 25 hours to realize I wasn't using up my camping gear, LOL. SO many camps I ignored, because I didn't want to 'waste' my camping gear. At one point, all in my party was down to minimum max health, because I was trying to work my way back to an inn. My god, I made the first 20+ hours of the game so hard for myself!
Thanks for the tip on gear enhancing, I didn't know it enhanced differently based on NPC!
Thank you for your work ! Always great to check your guides and playthrough, it helps a lot ! From demon's souls to Elden Ring, Bloodborne, Sekiro, DD Dark Arisen and now DD2, Lies of P, god of war, recently helldivers 2, just great to know that your content will be there ! Keep the excellent work !
The day you explained the game it was very simple and helpful 0:20. This was my favorite start to a video.
Thank you for the guide ❤
Man I’m so addicted to playing already this game has everything you need in a RPG
Except the multiplayer
@@heavensknightyt5528 I’m perfectly fine with out it tbh I’m a solo adventurer
@@Saia_xxI just ordered it for series x it will be here the following week, never played a game like this I’m so happy to finally play it!
Except Framerate
@@chuck176 it’s amazing
That bumper swap was the first thing I did even before I watched this video. It’s like they mapped it backwards!
This game is STUPID GOOD. So much fun
a bunch of mindless idiots would say other wise.... but im abt to play it in 5min and im so excited
@@TianLong72ki started last night and stg spent the whole time making my character and pawn it’s just so good
@@TianLong72kit is really good 10 hours in already
@@inso3988Finally character customization that I have always wanted. I didn't take that long but the options were really good. I am just bad at charactet creation.
@ktbffh7 I'm 4 1/2 hrs in and it's really fun. Rn I'm doing sidequest where you follow the begger around to figure out where he gets his gold
Cowboy!! 🤠 salute to you brother for your dedication! I’m on vacation and watching this to prepare me for when I get home and start my play through you the man
Use the advanced pawn search in the rift if you're looking for a specific type of pawn. It has all sorts of filters like class and level, etc... It will get rid of all the pawns that don't match and bring in only pawns matching your filters.
Never played the first one, but your review of the game inspired me to buy this. 30 min in and I’m having so much fun!
I followed your guide for Elden Ring and did exceptionally well so I’m glad you created a guide for this game thanks Cowboy
same! Couldn’t have done it without him
Thanks for this, just started playing and I've found it very useful.
After watching about 5 or 6 beginners videos on TH-cam, yours is the only one that shows me how to actually approach and play this game. I'm like level 15 and didn't know how to level up my character, weapons, add skills etc until now. Thank you
This has been so great and helpful. I just got started and I feel like I know what I’m doing a little more than I did before.
Been a fan since Dark souls 2 days. Your beginner’s guides are always the best. 💯
Info is good. He needs to take a drink or something though. Can’t stand his constant obnoxiously loud swallowing right into the microphone.
Had a lot of fun with the Elden ring guide, looking forward to this one . Thanks!
Super helpful! Thanks as always cowboy
Keep in mind if you find a unique weapon WHERE you enhance it matters. So if you find best in slot Mage gear enhance it at the elf smithy.
Sometimes struggling a little to get to that Desert land smith is optimizing the Strength upgrade on your weapon.
This is the best guide I’ve seen. Thank you!
Can’t wait to play this hope it gets delivered tomorrow! Iam on the final boss on elden ring been playing it off and on for the last two years need different challenge😂
Thank you so much for clarifying pawns items get returned to your storage. I've been playing 20 hours only keeping items on my Arisen and main pawn because I thought my stuff would be lost lol
In a way, this feels a lot like one with a face lift. Also some extra features which honestly im happy about it because i just started playing one again last week in anticipation for this.
Love your videos. Can you change your pawns inclination once you choose it? I choose a Mage and their inclination to be straightforward. Will this ruin the experience?
Simply a starter guide made to perfection, simple and concise which scratches that itch that other guides just don’t.
New subscriber here 🥳 just wanted to say thank you for this video and that your voice is super calming ☺️!
You can search for specific pawn details at the pawn guilds in major cities. You can use this to look for a vocation with a specific skill
open world action rpgs are my favorite so i cant wait to play this. my only worry is some people say its lacking in content and pretty quick to beat the game
Been using your Official Pawn on the steam version and its been helping me out a ton, wish you had quest assistance on it tho cuz im so lost running around in this ginormous map lol
The Yeet ending was really nice xP
Another TIP!
Each area on the map will have different Enhancement Buffs when enchanting weapons and armor. You can tell which enchantments you have by looking at the symbols in the squares when you are looking at a weapon or armor piece in your inventory or win at the enchanting menu. You can mix and match. But I don’t recommend doing that unless it’s on a early weapon or a weapon. You don’t plan on keeping. because mixing them up, you won’t get the most out of the weapon
Vermund territory is a well rounded enchantment, it will enchant strength, the defense in magic, all pretty equally, but not as much as choosing a specific type ( str def mag/ mag def)
Bahttali territory will upgrade, strength and defense but not so much magic.
Elvin well upgrade magic/ magic def but not so much strength and defense
Dwarven with upgrade strength, little def not so much magic or magic defense, but it greatly increases your knockdown power.
So where you go to upgrade items all depends on your vocation and items being used. Be careful when choosing where to enhance because you cannot undo an enhancement once you do it.
So if you enhance in bahttal twice but wanted more of a magic buff and now you want to go to the Elvin smith you’re only gonna be able to enhance that item one time with the Elvin Smith!
A good idea my buddy told me is get level 2/4 in all the vocations early, gives u plent of passives and an armor set for each, to keep or sell
So, it sounds like chest icons on the map stay in place even after the chest has been opened correct? If so, does it appear as a different shade of white to indicate it's been found? Also, does anyone know if the 'point of interest' exclamation points stay visible after the... interesting thing has been discovered/collected?
I think it's just glitched. I've had very few of the chest or "!" Icons not dissappear after getting them.
Hi mate, will you be putting out a warfarer guide as well?
Great guide. Thx Cowboy
Question regarding the gear section! Did they go all Witcher 3 with the random gear chests in the world? Or are the items fixed in each chest? Looking forward to an overpowered early guide
Fixed
How do you get the upgraded weapons from pre-order bonus
What buttons you press to swap vocations during vocations?
Where do we find your armor and hood ? it looks so cool
Gonna love it
Agree w the bumper switch!
This was a great guide I want my Mystic Spear hand to be more magic based so I should level my mage and scorc to the max
Can you explain the white ! That appear on the map - when going to some of them it just seems like nothing is there but they don't disappear?
That happened at the first encapment by the ladder and i thought i was going crazy 🤣
@@Kameraspie I had that exact same issue lol
@@sirdanik1 Those marks indicate a point of interest your pawns have pointed out. For example, the one in the encampment is indicating the chest under the tower, but its bugged to not vanish afterwards.
Where did you get that spearhand weapon pls?
I hired a very talkative pawn, later I found a chest and she was like "oh, wow, i need to tell my master about this chest in my real world", im like can someone hire my pawn and show it chests and other cool stuff?!
Yeap it works
Yes. If a pawn tells you they know of a chest nearby and you use the "Go" pawn command right after they say that, they will lead you to it.
@werecoth thanks but i know it works and how it works. I just wished that someone would hire my pawn and show it stuff i haven't found.
@@EverythingWasGreat when you rest at an Inn, your pawn will go to the rift and be hired, when you come back or wake up your pawn will tell you about his or her adventures with other Arisens.
man thank you for this ! the game is so fun !
I'm obsessed with this game.
very nice thanks
How do you stop drakes from flying away in like a minute? Like I understand you have to destroy the wings, but even when I am targeting them I get bucked off and before I can get back on the drake flew off. Do I need a sorcerer in the party? Or is it just the drake outside Harve that’s super flighty? The one next to the oracle never flew away but the harve drake retreats after taking a bar of damage.
It's more about how much damage you're doing than the wings. You need to pump an up damage that they're getting staggered
@@FightinCowboy I see. My party is warrior (me), archer, mage, and fighter. Would I be better off switching vocations for the pawns?
Fighter kinda irrelevant with a warrior imo. Use Knoll Breaker charged and you'll get easy staggers
@@FightinCowboyfollowed your advice, used mountain breaker and swapped the fighter for a sorc. Killed the drake in under a minute, feels good.
That dash move over any damage will always be beneficial
Do pawns level up? I’m lvl 7 and the one I created is too but the others i picked up are still at 2-3
Go back to the rift stone and hire new pawns. You will need to do that more often as you level up.
yea, the second and third dont matter too much because you need to switch them up your first pawn levels with you.
@@neo_man3014 damn, passed up on a good one lol
Seeing as this dropped exactly the same time as the game released it isn't hard to see Cowboy wasn't allowed to drop it before. Other youtubers also had their videos dropping right at release time.
If that's not the case, yea it should've dropped before release lol
Embargo is probably the word you're looking for
Cyberpunk's vibes.
Negative reviews on steam.... Don't believe the hype, people never learn.
I'm glad I saved my money, I'll bring my chick to a nice restaurant, at least I know I won't be disapointed.
What a weird comment@@guiguijol
@@guiguijolBut she will be.
Or don't be poor and just get both lmao@@guiguijol
I tried changing my buttons mapping on Xbox but it won't let me? What am I missing? Never had to before. I agree with your button change up.
Pretty easy, go to settings, Game Controls and it’s one of the options, i think. I did it pretty easily
@@robertcone613 It was telling me I the button was already being used. But then it just switched. So now it works! I don't know but it works. So much easier using the shield now!
Great to hear to Can change vocation
This just made me excited for the game. I don’t like being locked in to one style.
ty
Thank you! This is going to be a run away GOTY!
Ha on the first tip I did already a few hours in. The Fighters Guard on Right kept throwing me of as well. Though the switch to Lantern and item use took some adjustment
Whats your armor it looks amazing
I agree rb felt off for the block I changed it first thing to left trigger
Use advanced pawn search you can search for the exact vocation / lv range / weapon / skills. Race/ sex/ inclination ...everything and see only pawns matching all criteria .
Don't waste time scrolling through the pawns in rift section
doesnt the pawn only spawn your level? how could you put the gear and send it to someone lower level?
No, you can get higher levels, the ones that are your level are free
hope to see walkthrough and everything pointed out in Livestream Series
plus for online and offline
especial offline play as here were we live there is power cuts every 7 hours
thank you for reading
Will the pawn lvl up when they are with me or do i need chang pown often??!!!
Change often, they won't level up
The stark realisation after a few hours of how epic this game is really blew my 43 year old mind to bits
How do you push or pull enemies what button is it?
You mean pick up a enemy and throw it? Right trigger on ps5
Yo bro big fan here.
Switching the bumpers doesnt make much sense for archers IMo, because youd be firing arrows with left bumper which ive never experienced in any other game.
lol, the FIRST ox cart I took (the starter quest that tells you to take a cart to Melve), I wanted to watch the ride since it was new. I got barely a few hundred feet from the first city, already had 2 fights, and then a griffon attacked - chased it off barely with my lvl 6 or so ass, and just up the road 5 minutes later, an ogre/werewolf thing attacked, jumping onto the cart destroying it. So...I ended up walking the entire way to Melve and forgot about ox carts lmao.
Cowboy you are the best!
Do pawns die for good? Or they always stay with you no matter what until dismissed?
They can die but you can just resummon them
I'm so happy to be playing a new Dragons Dogma! Thankfully my PC can handle it 😅
P.S. you don't have to buy the micro transactions.. yes I hate them too but at least they cheap and not needed
Cowboy could you do a segment explaining pawns, and what not to do when they’re near you because I find that I run to a chest and they run right off the cliff I have had more pawns die to fall falling off, bridges and and other infuriating things then in a fight. It has to be a way you play to insure they don’t act stupid and need me to revive them every ten seconds
pretty fun just grabbed it 😀
That riven area has some nice shinies to buy. I’m headed back to buy the 50k staffs
Riven area?
@@kelsonlewis9252 elf area in the northwest: sacred arbor
Can we lock on to enemies? Like souls cant find it in the settings menu
No lock on in this game
It’s like Monster Hunter there is no lock on mechanic.
@@radagonsoreseal3457 MonHun has lock on mechanics these days. They have to be activated and maintained though but they exist
Thanks for another great video Cowboy. Your videos allowed me to beat Elden ring and NOT throw my controller lol.
Hey, are you going to do a 100% guide like you did with souls games?
I am just struggling to get the motivation to get to having the magic spear. I think I might enjoy the game more with this type of combat
But what about a sorcerer build tho? You dont answer this in your video i feel
Cowboy, will you make a video on enchantments? The different types, where to unlock them, benefits, whether you can downgrade after an upgrade, etc?
I did a twitter cheat sheet on it. Vermund is balanced, elves is magick focused, battal is physical, and dwarves are similar to vermund but increased weight for item in exchange for knockdown or knockdown resist
If I upgraded a weapon with Vermund but I want Dwarven, can I roll back the upgrade?@@FightinCowboy
Post game
This game is a 10/10 absolutely love it
what’s your system specs?
I want to make a pawn that ppl will use.
Should I make my personal pawn a healer or do damage?
It doesn’t matter to me I just want to help ppl and have my pawn be awesome!
The majority of people will be wanting mages for their ability to not only heal you, but also cure debilitations and grant elemental boons. A mage with a personality geared towards aiding and the specialization to even be able to use curatives on party members will be ideal.
@@shyurthiritia5748 thank you!!
How do you get the lindworm fang?
Late game dragonforged
@@FightinCowboyThanks😊
and where is my item storage ? my inventory is allways full...where do i put this stuff?
You can access item storage at any inn by talking to the innkeeper.
If a pawn dies, while the lute/inventory be lost or dissappear?
Goes to stash
You rule! All this drama blows, just want to dig more dogma!!
witth the portcrystals and ferrystones couldn`t you just go to the scrapshop in checkpoint town and duplicate a bunch to have a bunch across the map for fast travel
Nope
Wish this one released earlier
Game is out in an hour. I'll be deep in by the time this comes out.
Where is your 100% guide on this buddy
DLSS does nothing for areas where youre CPU limited. Which is the main issue with the framerate. My gpu is just sitting at 50% in cities while my framerate tanks to the 40s.
My cpu is not potato either.
They are working on the patch from what I understand. Typical moder. AAA gaming.
how i even get new weapon skills ??? im lvl 16 and all i do is pressing X or Y
Is their something to do when u lvl up ?
Go to the vocation guild. I’m two days late answering your question so hopefully you figured it out by now. Nevermind! Says you posted this 25 minutes ago
@@LuciferHunter-kt7pm
Oh
Thank you
@@LuciferHunter-kt7pm u know where i can put items from my inventory ? Is their a stash or something
@@kkaruzo7716 in the capital I was walking around and some lady stopped me and asked if I would stay at her house for a week. There’s a stash chest in there. Otherwise, before that I was spreading out items to my party members or crafting and selling. I’m sure there are other ways to store your items
the yeeting killed me
Could we get a guide on optimizing and making the ultimate pawn?
What's good about a pawn depends on the party composition and what vocation you're currently using
Couldnt get into the original. I dont know why. But 2 i cant stop playing. Made a few mistakes along the way but once it clicks you cant stop playing. And i havent even started the main story.
Is this as good as the first one
Might have been asked before but do you plan on doing a 100% walk through?
Not really needed here, pawns will guide you
Can I change a pawns inclination? If so how?
Get the thingy sold in Vermund near the RC.
@FightinCowboy thanks cowboy, top man, great video 👍
What are main differences in two playable races?
Roleplay, essentially differences in fantasy racism/cultures
@@jonfall7941 some story quests also become easier depending on race
Holy shit, i swapped the bumpers too. Just too used to LB shield in souls games. Lol
I was about to say the same. Been playing Elden Rng since Christmas, and recently started taking Block and Parry more seriously. Definitely going to switch it up.
