- Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen can be a bit daunting at first. So, I thought I'd put together a guide of the best DDDA Tips & Tricks to help any beginner get started. This even goes over some sneaky tricks like using DLC items to give you a boost in the early hours.
Also, check out the Dragon's Dogma Reddit, as it's an amazing resource for advice and a good source for great community content!

Here's another set of tips regarding Inclinations. Mind you, this will be quite a list:
1.) Aside from the Primary and Secondary slots for inclinations, there is also a hidden Tertiary slot, which can never be revealed but it exists. It is recommended that if you want your Pawn to perform well in battles, you should buy the elixirs (like Utilitarian and Challenger) and use them to adjust how your Pawn behaves.
2.) As far as what inclinations are suitable for a Pawn, it depends on their Vocation. Fighters excel at killing weaker enemies or mobs, so "Mitigator" is the best choice for Primary. Strider is the only vocation that can climb boss enemies fast, plus they can use bows which helps even further with fighting these foes from a different range, so "Scather" is recommended as Primary. Etc, etc.
3.) Do NOT make your Pawn "Utilitarian" as a Primary inclination until they have a near complete list of Bestiary Knowledge, because they will rely on exploiting weaknesses and attacking at key moments in a fight instead of taking an initiative, which they can't do either if they lack knowledge on an enemy. In fact, for example, if most enemies are ranked with 2 stars in their bestiary, Utilitarian as a Secondary is best.
3.a.) However, if your Pawn has almost complete knowledge on every enemy, Primary Utilitarian is great, especially when paired with other Pawns with the same inclination in the Primary slot. Why? Because they not only will they know how to fight enemies most of the time, they will also synchronize and use teamwork to take down the enemies more effectively and more quickly. They even follow up with commands given to each other such as "There, strike the heart!" or "Help me!" and they will do so.
4.) Mages tend to be tricky to set up for Inclinations. For offensive Mages, Challenger is not a bad choice. A supportive Mage (healing and buffs) is best given a primary Utilitarian role, even without much bestiary knowledge, with Medicant being Secondary. That way, they prioritize improving your party over attacking enemies. A Mage with well-rounded skills may either be Mitigator or Challenger as a primary, followed by Utilitarian, then Medicant. In fact, that's probably the best choice overall for Mages with little bestiary knowledge.
5.) Here is a recommended formula for a set of Inclinations for your Pawn so they fight optimally (at least for a while, since they also learn how to fight from watching you in action): 9 Primary, 6 Secondary, and 3 Tertiary. Use tertiary elixirs first, then secondary, then primary as last.
Really good tips here, folks
:-)
Several of these points are outdated from the console version and not relevant for the remastered title.
2.) Wrong. Regardless of old version or new. Fighters lack AoE abilities compared to other classes and die faster fighting a swarm of weak enemies compared to bigger targets. This is because the mobs will fan out to attack if they bunch up. Resulting in the Fighter getting surrounded and getting hit from behind. Where they cannot use their shield to guard from attacks. They're best served focusing on large enemies utilizing Scather (which also increases climbing speed).
3.)This is one of the outdated tips from the original game. They improved the ai a bit for the remaster. If your pawn has Utilitarian as a focus but lacks knowledge on mobs that are present. The system will now default their actions to the secondary inclination by temporarily making that the focus (this isn't displayed on the status window but confirmed by the devs prior to release). So there's no harm in having Utilitarian as a focus while first forging your way through the game with little or no knowledge. Especially since a pawn with Utilitarian focus but no knowledge will more quickly learn that knowledge if you rent a pawn with the knowledge that also has Utilitarian.
4.) Again, no. Challenger is horrible for Mages and Sorcs. It's rare that they will have good line of sight to ranged enemies to target and land their spells (especially multi-target lock-on spells as you'll accidentally tag melee enemies that are between you in the process instead of focusing the single caster or bowman). And Mages silence spell requires they be in close proximity to stop an enemy caster. Which will prompt them to run through the melee to do so...that's a big NOPE right there. They're best served as Mitigators so they can capitalize on their multi-target and AoE spells. Something to note, however. If you run either Mitigator or Utilitarian on a Mage. Do Not Give Them Frazil!! As they will run into melee to utilize it against enemies weak to Ice (or with Damp debuff). The AI doesn't snap-cast the cone attack and will walk slowly with the AoE pulse. This is meant to be used defensively to stack and achieve the freezing debuff when pressured by weak melee mobs. It does horrible damage for the stamina cost and running in to use it puts you at risk (or the pawn in this case). So you'll need to rely on Ice Affinity against mobs weak to ice as a Mage.
5.) There's no reason to stack that many potions. Anything more than five for the primary and four in secondary is a waste. As the effect diminishes for each successive potion used. It would be better to hold onto the additional potions and use them to reset your inclinations when they get out of hand again at a later time. As they'll have more effect then.
Thanks for providing this updated info, will definitely help people.
John, are you telling me a Mage would do a better job against a mob than a Fighter... who has no skills like Full Moon Slash to deal with them? They can't even block.
These tips aren't outdated, because I applied them based on 60 hours for the recent release of Dragon's Dogma. They're still relevant, and I don't know where you got the idea that a Primary Utilitarian focuses on their lower inclinations when having little knowledge, but from my experience... the Pawns do almost nothing.
As for Challenger for Mages, well... okay yeah, I may have been lucky.
I'll also agree on the potions.
Some tips I'd include are:
•Wolves hunt in packs
•Even in numbers, a weakling is a weakling still
Harpies!
Direwolf!
Careful you aren't drenched!
If you need to travel, by the Nine Divines stay on the roads! It's the Daedra, you see..... shit wrong game
@@Teeheehee093 Lol, have you heard of the high elves?
Another tip:
Buy a bunch of empty bottles, set up a port crystal at the healing spring near the catacombs. Then port over there, give each of your pawns some empty bottles and step into the healing spring. There you can fill your empty bottles with spring water, which serves as curative just like Harspud potions. Your pawns will fill their empty bottles automatically. And best of all - it's completely free!
started playing last week....man the fights are EPIC! one can see that this game was made with love, it has soul!
I just bought it right now
@@kokalol You will have fun...I spent 250 hours in this game. Especially the magic is absolutely badass
@@maltimoto I'm playing it right now.
@@kokalol and you like it? for me i needed 10-20 hours because it starts off slow but then I got hooked on all the nice skills
I just started playing again, new play through. Haven't played in years and still so much to learn. Ifanyone is still playing we should swap followers so we can get rift crystals
Some addendums for Tips #1 and #15 regarding escort quests:
1. While you’re grabbing quests willynilly, make sure NOT to grab escort quests until you’re ready for them, since the npc can die and you’ll fail the quest.
2. You can not redo failed escort quests without restarting via New Game+ or Hard Mode reset.
3. When you rest at an Inn or enter a Riftstone, it makes a Checkpoint Save. So make sure you do one of those before starting an escort quest, because this will allow you to revert to last checkpoint if the quest fails. That goes for anything you’re worried about making a mistake on actually. Manual saves aren’t as reliable since the game often auto saves over theres.
4. As for Riftstones, make sure you run to the destination of the escort quest and place one BEFORE you grab the quest, otherwise the npc will be with you and in danger, which defeats the whole purpose. Also keep in mind that there are multiple escort quests for some of the same locations, so once you place the Portcrystal, you can do them one after another since you can only do one at a time.
5. Lastly, and very important. If you want access to some of the best weapons and armor outside of Bitterblack Isle, make sure you are an absolute gentleman and pushover when doing a certain semi-escort quest within the main city with a certain little brat, I mean angel. Your behavior affects your reward, which is to be given to a certain vendor so he sells the goodies, so make sure to Checkpoint save in case you mess it up.
Idk if he mentioned it but...grab the eternal ferrystone from Gran Soren inn.
garrus vakarian what does that do?
It’s an unlimited use ferrystone. Allows you to fast travel to port crystals without using up the item.
I watson .. I guess, you got it by now?
I wish I knew about this. I did so many escort missions before I found this damn thing
Wew and i was wasting money buying ferrystones
7:08 that ogre you can ride down to the bottom of the everfall on...yeah I climbed on him with my strider and the ogre fell off the edge and when we landed the ogre died but I didn’t
I did that by accident too, laughed about it haha
Lol I just poke it with arrows from the level above until it jumps off the edge.
First time I encountered him, I got ready for a big fight, he charged, b lined and went over the edge.
Easiest 10000 exp ever
Yo this happened to me at the mine. I was doing a quest to kill the 3 monsters and I climbed on one of them, it jumped off a platform but the height wasn't enough to even hurt it, and it just disappeared, I didn't get xp for it or any loot but it still counted as a kill for the quest
I was a ranger and the pawns never caused him to fall, so I had to kill him straight up with a bow.
He’s a pain in the booty that way lemme tell ya.
Just getting into this game now and I don’t know how I never found it before absolutely loving it and your video was very helpful thank you
Restarting this game after a good break. Always nice to refresh yourself on the basics 👍👍
Great video! Goes over pretty much all of the major points! I even saw MinKy in there :D
Yes! Sorry I put that ugly mask on her for the tip about giving Pawns gear haha
Thank you. I played the original version at release, but unfortunately I stopped playing because travelling was a chore. I started this Dark Arisen last night and I hope I manage to complete it.
Would like to add keep the rusted weapons, especially the fast weapons like strider's daggers and bow. Upgrade all the way to dragon forged when possible, at 3 stars they can torpor enemies, though I believe it's more frequent when dragon forged. Torpor is your best friend for most enemies because it's a slow debilitation. Sorcerer's lassitude/high lassitude inflicts torpor as well, which is kind of mandatory if you play sorcerer and your pawns aren't holding aggro or if you want to solo as sorcerer. When it comes to aggro, you'll know who has it depending who that enemy is looking at
Picked this up recently on the switch and found it a little daunting as it doesn't seem to have a story to follow like Witcher 3, Dragon Age and Skyrim so this video has helped me out a lot, now I'll be able to enjoy it a bit more. Thank you!
I know I'm late here but this game actually does have quite an interesting story. Were I you, I would watch a video that breaks down the story.
Just picked this up in 2024 for $5! Its seems daunting! Thanks for the tips
I just got it from the ps plus catalog
Another good tip but also kind of lame is to just not fight bosses in bitterblack isle, just run past them but fight the mobs and loot the chests. You'll get tons of rift crystals which you can use to uncurse the bitterblack gear, I like doing this just because you can get a decent level and some really nice gear and novelties.
+andrew nimmo super good tip early game, actually
BEST video I've seen so far .Thanks for this it REALLY helps new players
Thank you so much!
You can use my pawn if you want add me at cmattox77
Great video even for someone whose already beaten it multiple times over i learned a few things so thank you!
Good to hear, always stuff to learn, even with games I think I’m a pro at haha
@@AnamanaCh Oh wow thanks for responding so fast. Also i remembered some things possibly helpful if not a bit cryptic for players that i havnt seen talked about. Purify cursed novelties, sprinting takes alot of stamina and you may get a skill that cuts stamina drain while sprinting in half. Manually saving helps a lot. If you're stuck in the dark and scared, just turn the brightness all the way up ya silly goose! And dont run into the little girl be a good servant dude trust me.
Thanks for the helpful tips! Been playing on switch and enjoying the game.
Glad to hear they were helpful!
Straight tp the point no messing around tips, earnt my sub dude nice one
well aint this a shocker, i watched your destiny guides and now i'm here for dragons dogma
This was my first major video!
This was really helpful! You and Lemon are a godsend.
It's an honour to be paired with Lemon haha. Thanks!
You can be the Salt, Anamana. Now we just need some Tequila!
+LemonEatingKow haha the holy trinity
UnbakedMango Jedi mind forever!!!!
Been one of my favourite games since the 360, just recommend this to a friend and sending them this video before they get started ❤
I've just bought DD: Dark Arisen, never played before even though I'm a huge RPG maniac, and I just want to thank you for your clear thoughts and tips. I've checked your other videos and I had to subscribe to your channel. Best wishes.
Thanks mate, I'm glad they've been helpful :D
THEY’RE MASTERWORKS ALL, YOU CAN’T GO WRONG!
Brought here all the way from the Sunset Mountains!
Played years ago and gonna play through again for the second game now. Need this video for hopping back in 😂
Same
Same😂
Great tips Anamana 👍, it really help for a newcomer for this game,great job mate 😄
Thanks so much, Muhammad. Appreciate it!
The is exactly what I was looking for thanks man
Excellent video! Great job! 🎮
I've been trying to get into this have for years and thought why not since 2 was announced thanks for the help
I am definitely going back to this one i used to wake up early to play this game when everyone was asleep
Watching this in 2022 and its been a big help. Thank you
On sale on steam right now! I'm definitely getting this game! 😁
Great tips. Thank you 🙌
Hi Gemma! I'm here from the future :) . I remembered that you had a vid about this, game because I just decided to start playing, so here I am! I always hear so much good stuff about it, so I wanted to try it.
Anyways, take care!
I accidentally killed the Oger like that. I thought he was gonna jump to the other side of the stairwell to run away, he had just tried to run away with a girl before that. But after like 5 seconds of not being able to tell which way he went I saw XP pop-up and my companions started to talk shit so I knew he was dead.
Great video bro, keep it up.
Thanks mate, means a lot!
Great tips, thanks!
Was looking for a new game to sink my teeth in to. Been watching lemons streams and your name keeps appearing. Between you both I think I’ll have all the advice I’ll need 👍👍👍
Yeah, I wandered into Bitterblack by talking to the chick on the dock at like level nine... biggest mistake of my life.
I barely made it past the trash mob wolves alive, so once I ran into the giant reaper I was done for.
Thank god she teleports you back if you’re a little bitch like me 😂
It's the only way you learn! Plus, it gives you a goal to work towards. When you get to that point, you feel badass!
Anamana! No doubt, can’t wait to get to that point. You can feel the progression in power as skills open up and gear improves.
Very satisfying!
Lmao same I was at level 2 though
“None of the quests are missable, just do them on your next play through” Lmaoo
Just started last week on the switch. After the encampment I had no idea where to go so I followed the map and ended up in BBI at level 10 on hard mode and tried my best but died so many times. I just thought I was crap at the game. Now I know why I did 0 damage to the bosses xD
Lol the first time I played the game on 360 i got to devilfire grove and started fighting the drake. I was doing virtually no damage to it even when hitting weak spots. Like man enemies in the game you dont have to kill it but i could not bring myself to give up so for hours i unleashed arrow after arrow on that baddie. So many good memories playing this game the first time through. Really hope they make a second one maybe with multiplayer
@@montgomeryfortenberry well i've got good news for you...
Played it 6 times already re downloading as we speak I got the itch again lol.
I wasnt all that into it when I first got it about a decade ago. But now im finally gonna give it a fair go.
same.. i had it on my PS3 now i bought it today on steam
This video helped me enjoy the game more my first go around.
Just purchased for $4 on Xbox. Great game so far. Anytime you hear that a game is being compared to a forgiven version of Dark souls but also similar Dragon's Age, you get kind of excited.
Got it for 4.79 on PSN just now! Can't wait to dive in.
@@patdzon for sho fam. It's Greta so far. Can't believe I didn't hear about this gem until now 🤠
I didn't know that Bitterblack Isle was a DLC world. I stumbled upon it by accident. I love playing games on the Hardest difficulty, and Bitterblack Isle is BRUTAL at the very start. Thank you for making this video, because it is very informative to new-comers to Dragon's Dogma like me.
Unless you cheese it with throwblasts and reach level 50 by martyrs talisman usage
Nice video man.
Thx for the info I just got the game a few days ago
when I played this game back on PlayStation 3 I went to bitterblack Isle at the very beginning of the game I was level 8 luckily I was okay fighting class because it was very hard to stay alive I had bought a really strong Pawn and basically just let that strong Warrior kill everything. I kept consuming cure items after literally 3 minutes and that place and after seeing a garm for the first time in my life. I grew all the way to level 18
+Vennon Lacy it's amazing how fast you level there in early levels.
thank you after listening to this like really good guide to this game I now realize that I did one of the most dangerous things I could at the very beginning but I thought everyone went there. I am a roamer so exploring new places regardless of how difficult they are is like part of my job plus the location kept giving me different cure items that was stronger than anything that I could find so I would barely survive fights keep myself alive just to level up I will get new points and new abilities as a warrior enough to do some damage then I got lucky enough to get a very strong item really early and some good heavy armor and luckily my strong sword that I got was eventually Dragon forged. I can tell you now if I tried to do it again it most likely would not go so well I was extremely lucky special that have high-level Pawns
+Vennon Lacy man, me too. I hate not having a full map unlocked. And it's kind of exciting to go through rough content when you shouldn't be there.
Seriously think you deserve more sub's, This video was fantastic.
Thank you! Appreciate the nice comment~
Anamanajewbee I'm gonna try and help get your name out. You deserve the support.
Great tips man excellent video sub+like
Thank you for the tips
Thx for this!
hi buddy. this is really helpful for new player. nice job. i hope u make more of these kind of videos. good luck
sam nj thanks mate! I've got a few more single tips coming out soon. 😄
one of my favorite parts of any game is the combat mechanics and i’m having so much fun as a newbie beating the absolute crap out of goblins 👹
Just got this today
Even though I’ve had the game for a few years I’ve never beaten it well in last year I decided to get into it and try to finish it well I was about 20 hours into the game then I had some surgery well the day I came home from the hospital I kind of started playing the game and I was still under the influence of the anesthesia and the drugs they had given me well a few days later I went back to the game and I realized that somehow deleted all my progress yeah that happened!!! lol 😂. But now I’m replaying it completely sober and feeling completely recovered from surgery and the game is such a blast to play its such a hidden gem 💎!!!
Cause of combat alone the game looks fun
+neromite oh man, the combat is so good!
neromite same
I just started Dark Arisen last night, and even the Chimera fight was nothing short of extraordinary.
The combat/loot/class system have all kept me playing this game for nearly 7 years now.
I've always wanted to play this game for a long time. Now I'm thinking about streaming it on twitch only because I know a game like this deserve more love and sequel is coming out soon. I want to play another good RPG game.
Okay, so if everything goes right tomorrow I can get this game, and this'll be a massive help, also...
3:00 HOLY **** THE MAGIC IN THIS GAME.
Hey! I saw you on Kow's stream for early BBI, nice!
John Fadimiroye yeah! I'm a mod in his live chat. 😁
Do you mean LemonEatingKow?
+Uriel Septim yep, we shorten LEK to Kow also.
Dont forget
"Its a ladder master"
Thank you for making this video, I'm going to start playing tomorrow.
You have a nice voice, sometimes you sound like a skelligen from The Witcher :D
Good info mate
+Nihil0.0 thanks, dude!
Who's here for Nintendo Switch?
Yep. Me. Third time around, but never played Arisen.
Me! First time playing this, great game!
Hope you’re all having a blast!
How does the game handle itself in portable mode?
The Traveler - it handles it really really well. I didn’t play the original but it’s my favourite game on the switch right now.
Switch Bois Represent!
Thanks very helpful
Thank you ffor the tips. I just bought this on xbox series s. Wanted to finish it before the sequel comes out. :)
Thank you for your help
i never got to the end of this it maybe a good time to now
I've played this game like 10 times and I figured out day one that I could kick that stupid ox to make it speed up
But how am I just NOW learning that hammers and explosives can knock ore loose?
Awesome vid, keep up the good work. You just got a sub from me!
Thank you!
This game is pretty tight, I played it years ago but lost my progress. Started playing it again, on ps5 this time, and man, I'm liking it. A few areas of confusion, but that's where Google becomes my friend if I can't figure something out. I want to play through the first one before buying the second one.
This was a very well put together info video. I commend you on your knowledge of the game. However, I would add one bit of information that would really help new players get the most out of their experience - Play the Magic Archer. That class is effing broken lol
thanks for the vid, helped me out a lot. also legit curious, what is your accent?
Australian!
Also, for quicker play throughs in the future u can set up port crystals at certain spots to make quests almost instantly completable in some situations. Catacombs, Quarry, Bluemoon Tower, Shadow Fort and the Dragonforge guy NW of gran soren. There’s a giant figure w spear that’s outlined into the ground, at the bottom of this figure is a cave entrance. The Cypher Quest is immediately completable by fast traveling to the Dragonforged and skipping all steps in between.
That face when you forgot to put one at the great wall encampment 🥲
I got it for switch my friend talked a lot about it in high school
Something I've not been able to determine, do non player pawns show up in the Rift or not? I ask, because sometimes it asks me to rate pawns, so I know they are another player's pawn, but sometimes it doesn't.
Are the pawns it's not asking me to rate or send a gift with just randomly generated ingame pawns? Guess I'll know for sure if I don't finish with the game before the 31st, and the servers go down for the 360 version.
I believe so, yes. If you have no internet and go to the rift, all of those pawns are non-player pawns. So, if you pick up one of those pawns out in the world or if somehow you don't connect to the rift correctly, you'll sometimes get CPU pawns and won't be able to rate and so on.
My best fight/victory was Randomly fighting that Stupid CHIMERA in the FOREST. *I kept triggering, or my pawns kept triggering this Trap* (the ones with the 2 sticks and the rope) and that stupid Chimera came Bee-Boppin down the mountain to Kill Me and my pawns!
UGH, I died like 6 times........... But while running away to attack from a distance (I'm a Mage) I decided to attack from a top some high Rocks. Best Decision! I did die a few times, but attacking from a higher place was my best option! My pawns distracted it and I kept firing magic.
THE fight was so Intense I had to go through the Night fighting it (and other monsters)...... It got really risky when my pawns died and I had to jump down the rocks to revive them and then run back Up the rocks (or when that stupid monster try attacking me from up there)... it was Insane! But I loved it!
I never experienced that......it was Great! Oh sweet victory after I killed it !! >_
I think it's those experiences that make the game. Those intense battles where you're struggling to keep everyone alive because you get too cocky or are just in over your head. Awesome story!
@@AnamanaCh *smiles* thank you! The closest feeling I ever had to this was playing LoZ BotW....but obviously any fight on That game fails to compare to the fights on Dragons Dogma.
I just finished running away from that Stupid Tentacle monster after looking for help online....... lol.
Anyway, anyway, thank you so much for the tips! I really appreciate it, sir!
7:04 I fought that god damn ogre for 2 hours. I'd get him to half health and he'd go beserk and kill us all. I told myself one last try, I hit him and I was near the edge and he ran right the fuck off. I was so pissed that it was that easy lol
Thanks
I just bought this. I hope i dont get over whelmed by the amount of depth. Got it for 8.99 on gog! What a freakin deal
I just bought the game on PS4 cause it was cheap and this really helped, thanks mate :)
Tamashii Senpai lol me too
I bought it when I saw it on a flash sale
nice video! the gamme settings burned my eyes tho
Each vocation levels a certain stat/stats and the boosts lesses after certain levels. Be careful if you're looking for certain stat builds. Sramina counts as a stat too!
Yep, something people will get to if they dig the game eventually.
"Some of the combinations can be incredible"
An example of this is toxicity from the assassin augments and the high miasma ability
Have never played DD, but with DD2 coming out in 2 months, I knew I had to dive into it. Been looking for an in-depth RPG to spend hundreds of hours on. Thanks for the awesome video
Just picked it up yesterday for switch.
*What a gaffe!*
Don't forget the carrot selling in cassardis, soooo much gold!!!
Oh. My. God. I just started playing this game and went to BBI because there was a purple marker telling me to go there so I thought it was the main quest. I had no idea it was DLC. That's why the bosses are so fucking tanky.... Welp, I did manage to kill the cock head bird and the giant eyeball at like level 20 so I guess that makes it that much more of an achievement.
My tip for newcomers: if you are going for a completionist run trying to do as many side quests as you can before finishing the main questline you are going to be wayyyy overpowered and the dragon boss is going to be wayyy easy. Take heed. I was lvl ~60 when going for Grigori and it was too easy. You can continue doing quests in new game plus so dont try to do everything on your first playthrough.
I really love playing this game, loving the combat and mechanics and style and all that, but its really lacking in some areas. Especially the lack of challenge. And too bad Capcom isn't going to fix taht anymore. Enemies should be a lot stronger and some should scale with the arisen in my opinion. I will probably compensate this by going solo or main pawn only.
+MonkeyGainer solid advice
Actually the game is challenging. It only becomes easy if you hire other player's op pawns and do the BI run early to get op equips early or max your character lvl in a jiff. I never hired someone else's pawn or did any of the BI exploits so I have a pretty fun challenging playthrough. I am tired of people saying the game is too easy when they use exploits to get op.
Great video for a fuckin awesome game
Even after beating the game I still need to watch this.
So, of you switch to hard mode does it pretty much new game + you? Or do you lose xp and items? Can you switch difficulty back?
can you still upgrade your weapon or armor if the needed ingredient was put in the storage at the Inn? Or you have to get it from there before going to the stores?
You can upgrade with items being in the storage.
yea when you go to upgrade it automatically checks your storage also, so you don't need to lug stuff around
SOAKED TO THE BONES!
I remember playing this and I gave up because it was too hard for me lol
I can relate I don't particularly understand how it all works same with the witcher 3 skyrim is fine for some reason lol
Where can you get port crystals? Thanks for the video 👍🏻
With the escort quests, do they happen as soon as you accept them? I accidentally accepted Reynards one and then dismissed him by going back to a notice board. Does this mean I can no longer do that quest?
Late to the party but I don't recommend giving pawns pick axes or lanterns. When pawns keep getting wet during a fight they will keep running off to reset their lanterns light and can stop fighting to mine resources.
