It mainly consists of Vermund, a country inhabited by humans, and Batal, a country inhabited by beastmen, and the field size is about four times that of the first game, and the density of play is even greater. There are many dangerous monsters as well as residents, and as soon as you take a step forward, you will be surprised by what you discover.
A quest that gets more fun the more you get into it
Quests with various contents will occur depending on your interactions with the residents. Director Itsuno says, “We made it so that the more we stick to role-playing, the more fun it becomes.” It is up to the player to decide how to complete the quest they have actually accepted. A major feature and appeal of this work is that you can enjoy your own adventure based on the choices you make.
Actions that stimulate player desire
In “Dragon’s Dogma 2,” players can enjoy action battles that allow players to make their imaginations come true in a variety of situations. For example, a suspension bridge and a swarm of enemies approaching, or a huge enemy on a cliff. You can attack head-on, or you can attack cunningly by taking advantage of the surroundings and terrain. Actions are also up to the player.

Jobs with diverse abilities

sorcerer
A job that specializes in attack maneuvers. Although it takes time to cast magic, it has the power to completely change the tide of battle. It is important to chant while ensuring safety.
Magic swordsman (enlightened only)
Combining sword skills and magic, he can fight at any distance. You can use magic to block enemy movement or throw multiple objects at them.
Magic Archer (enlightened only)
A job that excels in long-range combat and shoots magic arrows. In addition to various attacks with attributes, he also has the dexterity to recover the physical strength of his allies and perform support actions.
Illusionist (only for enlightened people)
A job that creates various illusions using a tool called a “furi incense burner”. It is possible to confuse enemies with illusions or draw out powers that exceed the limits of the pawn.
Arisen (only for enlightened people)
You can use all weapons and learn skills for each job. You can respond to any situation by switching weapons and create combos that transcend job boundaries.
A group of systems that enliven your adventure
A long adventure as an enlightened person with a great destiny on his shoulders. The various game systems present in this work make it more fun, rich, and irreplaceable.
Free “character editing” such as eye and hair color
The player’s alter ego, the enlightened person, and his servant, the pawn (main pawn), can be set to their desired appearance through character editing. You can freely adjust everything from facial contours, eye color, and hairstyle to height and weight. Also, once you start the game, you can re-edit at facilities such as the “Mizomeya”, but you cannot change the race (human, beastman) or body type.
“Quest” provides a unique gaming experience for each person
Various quests occur by talking to people in towns and villages, and by being talked to. In most cases, it is up to the player to decide whether or not to accept the quest. In addition, the game basically progresses as a result of the actions taken by the enlightened person, so you can freely decide what process to take and proceed with your adventure while becoming the enlightened person and communicating with the residents.
From day to night to morning – day and night change with time
Like the first game, Dragon’s Dogma 2 also has a flow of time. Gradually, the surroundings became dark, and I thought I was enveloped in darkness, but then the sun rose and it was morning… and so on. Especially at night, visibility is extremely poor and monsters different from those seen during the day may appear, so you cannot let your guard down. Also, due to poor visibility, it is possible that you may not notice a gaping hole in the ground or a steep cliff and end up heading straight into the abyss. Always be prepared for any situation.
At night, it is completely dark and you can hardly see anything. Be sure to bring a lantern.
If you have camping equipment, you can set up camp at specific points. Not only can you relieve your fatigue, but you can also talk with friends.
If you have the ingredients, you can cook. This is grilled dried meat that restores a moderate amount of your physical strength. Are there any other dishes besides this…?
“Ox carts” that can travel long distances in one go
“Ox carts” operate between bases in Japan. Although there is a fee, you can move slowly between bases, and by “closing your eyes” you can arrive at your destination instantly like fast travel. However, sometimes monsters attack.
Combat tips to enjoy your adventure smoothly
Once you go out into the field, you will encounter many monsters. Let’s explain the points you should keep in mind when actually going into battle.
Know the nature of normal skills and custom skills
Normal skills are basic attacks and actions that differ for each job. Although it doesn’t have outstanding performance, its advantage is that it can be used easily without consuming stamina. Custom skills, on the other hand, are job-specific special attacks that are extremely powerful, but require a certain amount of stamina to use. Check your current stamina level and fight while using normal skills and custom skills.
Confronting a large monster with great power
Monsters include small monsters such as goblins and harpies, as well as large monsters such as cyclops and griffins. Large monsters have much higher physical strength and attack power than small monsters, and all of their attacks are powerful and formidable opponents. Instead, if you can defeat them, you can get a lot of experience points and rare items. If you encounter one, try to keep pace with your pawns and take on the challenge in a cooperative manner. Never attempt a special attack alone.
“Master skills” that can be learned from job masters
Somewhere in the world, there live people known as job masters who have mastered their jobs. By deepening your friendship with them and receiving special books, you can acquire the highest level of skill, “Master Skill.”
Pay attention to the state of the pawn
Pawns may become incapacitated due to attacks from monsters or falling from cliffs. In that case, the enlightened person can approach the pawn and revive it, but if left unattended for too long, the pawn will become “lost” and be forcibly removed from the party, so be careful. Also, there seems to be a condition called “dragon possession”…?
