@@TheDracoManGamer yeah I am trying to get him before Bishop in the ghost/gargoyle rotation. But he always teleports. Haven't tried with Maker's and blast...perhaps that will push him over the edge. lol
@@TheDracoManGamer yeah they punch above their weight AND give a kick to the nuts! The maker is only for the other stuff that mobs while you keep Death in check. I still need to get better at timing it all, I keep messing up and leaving it up to the auto save (unwise decision).
For those who want to farm Death for Exp, rift crystals for hired pawns, and his drops, pre-Daimon Bloodless Stockade is the best place, because he keeps respawning there everytime you enter/exit. The best vocation to do this is with is Magick Archer, and the best place to stay is the room with the chest where leapworms spawn. Death can't enter that room, which means he can't see you, which means battle won't initiate, which means he won't flee when he loses the equivalent of 1 health bar because he's busy trying to find you. Be aware, though, that his lantern will sometimes clip through the wall, which allows him to spot you, so make sure to keep a safe distance from it. It's quite simple, really. The room has a grater for you to shoot out of, and you just spam Ricochet Hunter when you see Death nearby. If you're on hard mode for the 2x bonus, I recommend equipping the Cursed King's Belt and 2 Barbed Nails (or 2 purified rings with knockdown if you have them) to make it easier to keep him on the floor. Enjoy cheesing him! Edit: Apparently Death *CAN* enter the room, so it's best to save right outside the sewers, then godsbane if you hear the music start. Also, if you're fast enough, you can get 3 uses out of a consumable weal item before its effect expires.
That doesn't sound simple at all really, except for the Ricochet Hunter part. A lot of people are gonna be spending most of their time farming for the Cursed King's Belt you get from Eliminators or Cursed Bitterblack Gears. And that's easier said then done since its entirely luck-based
It really is way easier to just lead him to that sewer drop off or near the bridge in the fallen city with bait or a lucky spawn and pressure him near the edge and build up a knock back by pelting him with strong stagger and knock back attacks like blink strike and tusk toss, fivefold flurry no blast arrows can easily do it. I kill him in a few min with any vocation that does physical damage, but things idk what knocks him back well with mage and sorcerer.
@@spencerwcp He doesn't flee this way, though, since he doesn't spot you and so doesn't enter battle mode. Plus, as I said, you get to keep his drops. Also, this method is better than making him fall into the abyss because you have with you pawns whose owners are asking for rift crystals. The falling method only works if you're alone because Death is guaranteed to spawn right in front of you, but with pawns, his attention will be divided.
They should have given the select button for both dragon’s dogma 1 and 2 the ability to dodge instead of “dash” since we could already do that with the left joystick
On my old ps3 account I had the resources all set up where I took the barbed nails from Madeleine that can knock foes down, procked tagilus miracles, and conqueror periapts with blast arrows. Been a long time since I've done that though but it was the easiest way to take him down
I tried fighting death, I just went to Bitterblack Isle and it disappeared on me. I can't seem to make it spawn again. Now I got the Void key and got killed by a freaking worm after killing the ugly griffin.
Death leaves when you take 1 Health bar away. To prevent this, you can use Blast Arrows with a bow on him with spam with Sixfold Flurry or Tenfold Flurry. He respawns in specific places pre-Daimon, but can spawn anywhere Post-Daimon
@@TheDracoManGamer I'm sorry what is Pre and Post Daimon? I like to go blind into games, not really much of a tutorial guy unless I really need it. And thanks, I'm using ricochet hunter since I'm leveling up the Magic Archer vocation and it works wonderfully inside the maze.
I'm currently lvl 83 and stop doing Main Quest when the latest was to meet the Duke or something. I just roam around thr Gransys and BBI most of the time. I meet Death in this same area(of course after beating Bishop), Maybe I'm still too low level and doesn't have enough damage but I think I Managed to erase one of his Health Bar using Blast Arrows then he bailed on me too and just noticed that Death also took my 3 pawns. 😅 BTW I'm an Assasin so I doubt I will kill this dude in my future playthrough, I will try that sewer drop but In my current level I hated those worms and I don't even know where is that exact Sewer location, again I just defeated Bishop so I'm not sure if I'm close to that sewer location or still far away from me.
I'd assume it was. I haven't seen the clip myself but since Arc of Obliteration and Act of Vengeance are one of the most powerful Warrior skills in the game, I can see it
Actually, the only way a warrior can one shot death is by using Act of Vengeance. Since Act of Vengeance damage depends on how much damage you take while charging it, there is an exploit involving the Tenacity core skill and the spell Exequy. Exequy is an instant death spell, however, its survivable if you have the skill Tenacity (which has a chance of death blows leaving you at 1 hp instead of killing you). Even though it doesn't kill you because of tenacity, exequys instant death amount of damage gets translated into damage for Arc of Vengeance, allowing Arc of Vengeance to instantly kill anything you hit for that single attack. Luckily, every chest in the bitterblack isle has a chance of spawning a maneater (those worm things). Maneaters can cast exequy. So all you need is the luck to open a chest with a man eater while death is fighting you, and then to time arc of vengeance with the maneaters exequy hitting you just before you hit death with arc of vengeance, and also the luck for tenacity to proc and make you survive at 1 hp.

@@over9000optimally Yeah, he vanished. He is immune to instant death attacks like Maker's Finger so it will only take 1 Health Bar away from him and then he flees because that's how he is programmed

@@fatguy4137True, he does get lured by Rancid Bait Meat in BBI Post-Game. I'm just surprised Death doesn't have the same Horror OST as the other "Necrophages"
@@TheDracoManGamer Ahhhhh ok. Thanks!! I’m an assassin so I should be able to acquire that skill by now, hopefully. I’m 50 hours in and at the everfall place. Game is awesome! Just started playing a little over a week ago, definitely buying the second one. Still think Dark Souls is better but I’ve played so many souls games lately that this game is refreshing.
Best legit way to kill death without periapts and blast arrows exploit, is to get him near an edge of a cliff or drop off and keep hitting him with strong stagger and knock back attacks. Ranger can use foldflurry and obvi when he flips back he flips off the cliff. I always kill him like this cause I don't feel like it's cheating if you stagger and knock him off using non boosted attacks or exploits
Blast arrows and conquerors periapt isnt cheating either. Consider it the sword a of ranger. Just a tool. Like, you wouldnt call a warrior a cheat because he uses a sword.
@@ni3kyYT I don't think it's cheating, but I consider it an exploit the dev's purposely left in there. Specifically if you don't loot them naturally, but buy a ton from the shopkeepers, it's an exploit and numerically unbalanced. It just statistically factually breaks the game and requires no skill to use 4x periapts and blast arrows since everything will be knocked downed and killed in a matter of seconds. If you look them and save up 4x and blast arrows it's fair. But if you've played without buying them, it's VERY RARE to get conquers periapts naturally OR Blast arrows, and even harder to craft blast arrows and time consuming for periapts. And I say naturally, (you can always farm) but then just buy them from the shop at that point imo. I think the online ur dragon is the only thing I'd say it's fair to use against since the point is to just do crazy high damage to a creature that has millions of health haha. I play ranger and yes they are meant to rarely have blast arrows, I looted everything and crafted and had like maybe 10-15x by the time I reached Grigori, and the materials are sooo hard, because the branches needed are very rare and only in gransy's. There intended to use oil (not very useful) poison(not very useful), sleeper arrows are really where it's at, morbid with the puncture dart thing, *chefs kiss*. Petrification are rare and take a lot to kill most stronger creatures and blast are rare. But torpor with morbidy is also broken and really good, but I use it at lower levels
@@ni3kyYT To be honest, Death is just annoying, hes not a challenge, so using blast arrows or making him fall of a cliffs seems fair, since he always flees.
