A short encounter during a return visit to the castle, where a couple of people from the expedition were still hanging out at that moment - was very atmospheric, wrapped up quickly, but was really cool.
And must say that i really like the dungeons in the DLC area, some are small, but many of them tell some kind of story, a mountain fortress, a buried castle, or something of the sort, not to mention the branching paths and the actual usefulness of visiting them in terms of loot.
Dlc kinda demonic tho

Trepira and Arikash have gone home now. Thank you both for your service! Let's talk about it.

Trepira falls into what I consider essentially the gold standard when it comes to archers. A lot of the archer pawns I've hired from here fall into this category, where they don't really stand out among one another performance-wise but are outstanding in effect. She actually spams Cloudburst Volley more than other Archers of her ilk, which obviously is something you want to see if you're tackling vortexes like I am. I will however, praise her fashion again because the landschneckt/musketeer look is dimes and it's nice to see someone kind of commit to a more roleplay-y looking setup.

Arikash is probably the STRONGEST warrior pawn I've hired, as well as being the first Beastren I've hired. I'm nominally not really a fan of Beastren, I kind of feel they're not quite animal-y enough if that makes sense. But as for her performance, Arikash somewhat uniquely will always run into wherever has the highest number of enemies and then blood pact and start deleting. Due to BFIV this can be something of a gamble if a Lesser Demon is in the mix, but as far as I've seen it pays off. Where I found some issues with her was she really likes clinging to bosses, and this is something I've noticed with Warrior Pawns who have badges related to the boss as opposed to ones who don't have the badge. I'm not sure why, it didn't really cause her to die or anything but it did mean she wasn't doing damage during those instances. But like I said in the beginning, she's VERY strong and will pretty much vanquish anything you come across.

>>587219962
In my experience, Deific Bolt is less about the damage and more about the sheer volume of fire. It staggers things pretty well, and is especially useful when the ghouls come out and the pawn just kind of blasts them off whoever they happen to jump on.

Hired these two last thread and just sent them back. Azalea was rock solid as support always keeping my Fighter pawn alive and me topped with with machine gun ammo. Evalyne was a DPS monster spamming the shit out of that arrow rain move and targeting my augural flares. I don't think I could have asked for a better duo to support my sorcerous ass. I forgot to take a send off family photo. Was too busy taking pictures of Calandria being smug.

They're Arisens that have disdain for the Cycle and end up under Stan's thrall. Fimbls aren't marked as "Rancorous Foe" but do show up in a vortex, so there's still some connection between dead Arisens getting turned into dragonkin.

There's a lot of side stuff that you can do to pad out game time that's off the beaten path, plus it's fun to explore. I usually only get the feeling of adventure when I'm playing much more open-ended games like Kenshi etc. where there aren't any real objectives, just goals to set.

Aviendha is an interesting choice! She only has four moves and doesn't use a shield. I'm excited to see if this means she's more aggressive, or if it just results in her being pancaked a lot by some of the more silly waves you get in vortexes.

She does like spamming that cloudburst volley. Unless she's decided to be a cheeky little shit and hand-deliver some explosive arrows again. I really like archer pawns in general because they can run crowd control pretty easily, and have a lot of good skills for nailing weak points, or building up augural flare explosions when I roll sorcerer.

It's a very specific kind of fashion that kind of clashes with everything else. The hip flaps are pretty nice looking but I feel it works against the corset, which is designed to emphasize hips/bust. It's very sphinx-like in design, but there aren't a whole lot of other things that go along with the sphinx color scheme.

Turn off or minimize the vignette in the photo settings. Try to include landscapes or other large markers in the area to make it easily recognized and thematic.

Ilyanabelle and Aviendha are on the rift train back to their loving homes. My journey with these two was complicated, I think I haven't had to "work for it" as hard as I had with any other combination I've hired so far. The crux of it was neither pawn had anything really collecting aggro, so I spent every rift as the primary target of every enemy in it, all the time.

Ilyanabelle is a warrior with the Kindhearted inclination who for the most part likes to spam Heavenward Sunder with the occasional Steel Cleave mixed in. Despite having access to Razing Ruin and Tidal Rage - I don't think I saw her use either of them even once with me. I want to say Kindhearted has something to do with that, because Ilyanabelle often ran towards whatever I happened to shoot and then would seem kinda paralyzed? It makes me believe if I was some manner of melee job, Ilyanabelle probably would've been wherever I was and contributing a lot of stagger and damage to anything I happened to attack. She was pretty sturdy, I had no issues keeping her alive, nor did she even get close to making me worried that'd be a problem.

Aviendha initially came to me without a shield, and the four skills Cloudfall Strike, Hindsight Sweep, Riotous Fury, and Whirlwind Strike. This is an interesting way to go, and I really respect the decision you made. I would've tried to include Full Moon Slash in some capacity here myself, but for a character who resembles and acts as a fencer - this works. Now the issue is that with no ability to generate aggro, no ability to protect herself outside of lucky Hindsights, and not much durability - she goes down; a lot. My mage pawn worked basically on overtime to keep her stable, as did my attempts to have a lifetaker arrow almost constantly feeding her health too. I ended up disrespecting the vision and giving her shield just to see what happens, and her durability effectively doubled right then and there. I want other anons to definitely try her out though.

I wanted to elaborate more since the character limit blocked me. Maybe I need to learn better succinctness? English isn't my first language. Ilyanabelle also might be a little hamstrung by her Ice weapon, at least in Norgan. Obviously not everything has Ice Resistance, but I feel like Ice is better on classes that attack faster than Warrior does, and all it meant was I couldn't enchant her weapon with Holy to increase her damage. She is definitely a good pawn, and the manner of dress is exotic enough to stand out among her peers. Aviendha came to show me that Fighter pawns without a shield don't replace their lack of defense with aggressiveness, instead what they'll do when they'd normally use a shield is.... nothing. At times they might grab onto an enemy to evade damage which is kinda 5000 IQ of them, but be careful about her simply accepting her fate sometimes when other anons take her adventuring.
>>587234664
Come to think of it, I don't think that's the first time someone's said something like that to me. As for durability - I've been trying to think of ways, or find pieces of gear that shore that up a little because I do think she's a little squishy too. Any suggestions from you or anyone else?

I think the contemporary tiktok pop psychology term for it nowadays is 'people pleaser'. It's not a bad thing in itself; niceness is nice, but sometimes bending over backwards gets you in bad situations.

>Durability
I'd hunt for Health III tags on armor. Googling or logic would say that they don't stack multiples, but from my testing stacking does work. Another thing to hunt for would be Spectral Feint^ on pants. It lowers your HP significantly, but the uppowered version makes 50% of physical attacks fail to hit you, which is insane and does more a lot more than what the math sounds because you're also not getting staggered out of recovery, movement, or spells.

Thanks fellas, I'll take those into mind and look for something I can use to boost her a little. My current armor on Azalea has "Equanimity, Moribund Frenzy, Full Thermal, and Improved Odds^" on it, while her helmet has Slashing/Strike Res II and Relic Hunter. I think the pants is where my problem is, with those being Snatching-Beast's Foil^, Homing Instinct, and Ice Res II. I do have a pair with Spectral Feint, Snatching-Beast Foil, and Enduring Grip on it but will the reduced max HP on top of the Recitation ring already dropping her max HP make her a little too vulnerable?

Dwarven is the best for everything except raw magick damage on staves. Once you hit the DLC you get a new type of equipment that doesn't have smithing upgrades, and well, actually trivializes just about everything from the base game.

It doesn't really matter anymore, it's good for the DLC for up until level 2 gear. Dwarven is for knockback res/dmg.

I use it but to be honest my 'warfarer' playstyle is basically Rearmament, 4 Spearhand Skills and 1 MA skill. I used to have 1 sorc skill but I swapped it out for Feste for the i-frames. Seching is good in rancors for killing trash and recovering stam with Voracity, and also for doing chip damage to Satanachia between teleports, for me its in invaluable because I run the enhanced version with BFIV^ but I guess if you don't have that its not as important since the damage is going to be a lot worse.

Oriana and Ghislane have departed for their homes, I had a good time seeing what antics these two would get up to.

Ghislane was pretty much indestructible as her recruitment ad implied. She had a lot of health, pretty much every pawn badge, and her defense scores were top notch on top of it. She was also quite on top of things when it came to using her defensive abilities, particularly Shield Precision. Usually with these abilities where the Pawn drains their stamina to fuel a thing I watch them drain themselves to zero, but Ghislane never had that problem. Working alongside Oriana and Azalea who both had Argent Solace to replenish said stamina also saw her being a wee bit more aggressive towards enemies than she might be otherwise.

Oriana's behavior was a little bit funny but not in a bad way whatsoever. She very much enjoyed hovering to shoot, which made her a lot more violent than Azalea is, but that also came with her being punished for her bravery if she garnered attention. It also trades off that she's supporting just a tinse less, but when she did support she did so lightning quick with almost no lag between what she needed to be doing.
>>587250019
I think just going from Battahl to the Volcanic Island Camp, resting, and going back has 1-9'd every vocation for me.
>>587250093
I'd say do the base game Lost Rites before you hit the endgame proper, then go to the DLC, work at it for awhile and then go back to Unmoor your world and finish up the new Lost Rites that pop up then.

I can't figure out this spell. It seems to do very little damage. I tried it on a saurian when my pawns were far away, and it was a slow torture.
What's the point? I thought Sorcerer was supposed to do big damage after a long windup.
I had replaced High Levin with this cause it looked ok against single targets, but i've now switched back. Idk

So, to be completely honest not having a shield is always going to hamstring her in some way. Is it going to be unplayable? No way! Especially if you're not playing in Hard Mode (I am), no shield can and will work, it's just going to always have less options.

Like I suggested earlier, try to put Full Moon/Penilune Slash on something, that alone will up your serviceability due to it being a firm AoE move that actually does have fair knockback to it too. The next thing you gotta do is just HP-bloat. If you've got a helmet generating aggro, high HP, good enough stamina, and a mage in the party she isn't going to die and will do damage as well as anybody other pawn.

>>587252385
Try normal first to get a feel for the game, you can swap to hard anytime but need to reset progression to go back to normal. Hard doesn't scale up early basegame too much and gives a ton of XP and Dcp but will kick in at full force towards late- and endgame.
Also you better have experience with the DD already if you want to go fully solo. The knockdown is pretty unforgiving if you're alone in 2.

From what I see it's Ulrika's questline before coronation and Raghnall questline before repairing Godsbane, is that all?

Curatives are plentiful and very easy to craft into very strong versions, at least at my level (40).

Uh, bro...
There's absolutely no way there's a normal human skull in a beastren's head...

>>587270216
I'm pretty sure skeletons are supposed to be war-casualties based on the lore, so there should still be a few...

Now go and look up skulls of other human species that went instinct and see how they supposed to look.
Such miniscule differences like aforementioned longer canines, slightly different shape of eye sockets etc don't justify making different looking skeletons when you need to get yourself anthropologist degree to notice anything.
You have same mouth structure, same eye placement, ear sockets, literally everything. And yes, you can buy a beastfag mask to complete quests. Lol.

Most of the "failed" Arisen you meet lost the Will to fight. To some extent, you can draw parallels to types of players that prioritize other facets of a game other than "playing as intended". Anyway, lesser demons have a connection to hating the Cycle and falling under Stan's sway because of it.

It's actually the slopmod IRIS: https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/2357

You can tame a lot of things, even drakes. I managed to get a griffin so far, but it was buggy and hard as fuck. Totally worth it, though. Now I barely use the eternal ferrystone and can skip fighting goblins every 2 minutes on the road (my dream), going straight to points of interest/guild contracts/quests. You can land it, fight on the ground, or use it as an ally.

Having fun so far, but I wish the mod wasn't so bloated

I'm not expecting much beyond the usual events where you kill bosses/mobs and get some currency to exchange for some sweet cosmetics, assuming it's only being worked on by the Dogma Rising admins that is since it's up to the actual developers in the White Dragon Temple Server to do the heavy work of restoring and reverse engineering stuff to give us new content and that's how we get the "meaty" stuff like EXMs, story missions, side stuff like BBM, etc. Which then get implemented in the servers we play on, but who knows for sure, you bring a good point with the AI stuff speeding development.
>>
>>587278250
The dialog that the former-Arisens give when they first arrive at the Seafloor Shrine gave me the impression that Sigurd was the one who was "blinded by vengeance" or some such, so my theory/headcanon is that the Dragon probably killed his beloved in one of the early attacks or something like that, and since his only real motivation from that point on was revenge, he didn't really fit the intended mold of the Arisen that the Dragon could test from that point on. No chance of him being tempted by any bargain or weighing his heart or him wanting to rise above his station and see the truth of the world when his sole fixation was just killing dragons and literally nothing else.
As for the Rivage Elder, I think it's implied that he got to the Unmoored World so presumably succeeded at killing his Dragon, but he either got his shit rocked there or else maybe ran out of time before the Brine swallowed everything, so he became the crazy old man.

That read on Sigurd is consistent with the anime at the very least.
As for the Rivage Elder, I meant I didn't have an instant idea on the player archetype he could represent since he's, presumably, the only one to go along with Rothais's scheme i.e. played the game as intended. I half-jokingly liken him to everyone that obsessively complains about the direction the franchise takes.

Possibly. Since we see the Brine reform a Dragon at the end of the UW narrative, it's possible that's how the Cycle resets after the Arisen "dies" in the UW. Whether our Dragon is the Dragon after Rivage Elder's isn't indicated. Our Dragon has its own personality and some knowledge of Rothais's opinions on the Cycle which don't fit neatly into either scenario.

Quest: Get 5 Allheals for 1 Misshapen Eye

I'm considering testing lightning pact instead of fire. Or no pact and Solace since there's a decent amount of elemental weapon users.

Head pieces don't have that many interesting buffs anyway.
Gigantus Vim for full physical vocations with physical weapons, Provoking Aura for tanks, Bolstered Outset for you/tanks, Arcane Wisdom for Arcanists, Imperiled Reflexes is the only "general" one.
And they can't get HP/Stamina, only resistances. I get shitty rolls so I just stack physical resists with it.

Enhanced Jump also buffs all ranged damage 20% of the time, really worth on Archer for randomly oneshotting things. If you get the proc on a boosted Heavenly Shot, you can actually oneshot hardmode gigasatan.
Gigantus' Vim is honestly kind of gay. Yes, it enables Ring of Inversion builds but at the same time it means you MASSIVELY cuck yourself if you use enchanted weapons. The magick reduction is calculated pre-mitigation so a lot of the time it reduces your magick enough that you'll be dealing 0 damage with the enchantment and at best it helps you proc a status effect (and there's no status effect for Holy so fuck you I guess).

Correction, I had the wrong percentage. From the datamine:
>Increases jump height by 20%. 30% chance of increasing mid-air physical damage by 30%. 20% chance of extra 20% ranged damage. Enhanced: 20% / 60% / 60% / 20% / 40%.

So the random damage boost also applies while NOT airborne for ranged.

I don't know who I want to go for, I don't usually bother with romance in games. My pawn was the first to blush at my arisen though, so I think she'd win if it were an option. Granted, she hasn't done it again since then so she's probably getting tired of his shit.

>>587290463
No idea how they feel in normal mode, but it wasn't a particularly engaging fight. It's just that the last few times I tried, it was 1-shotting me and my pawns constantly so it wasn't worth the time or resources to try and beat. Those first failures did get me to swap Vengeful Slash for Hindsight Sweep on my pawn though, and that's been helping her suvivability a lot.

Whenever you need poison the dungeon will provide it to you in one way or another, usually there will be poison jars but there's also other ways you can inflict poison if you get creative, if you're playing Archer though it's obviously the easiest if you just bring some blight arrows.

What's the point of sorcerer when mage exists? Is it really just Galvanize's slow stamina recovery and access to area denial spells? And is there anything cool you can do with Spellhold besides exhausting yourself after using a couple nukes back-to-back? Mage has so many utility moves that I don't know if I'd ever find room for it on there, but since sorcerer's nothing but damage anyway I feel like I could spare the slot.

How is this general still so alive? Is DD2 really still that popular?
>>
Tried out hybrid warfarer build with Mystic Spearhand and Archer, given how their new Maister skills aren't load-bearing skills, and slotted in re-armament + trickster weapon for aromatic resurgence only. Maybe its just me, but pawns seemed a LOT more aggressive/damaging with AR up, and it lasted for a decent amount of time after I switched off back to my other weapon unlike the trickster's effigies. I think the two archers in my group pretty much squashed the fallen dragon with minimal intervention on my part. I still needed to pop a regen elixir here and there, but overall it was worth sacrificing two skill slots to supercharge the pawns. Has anyone else had a similar experience with trickster skills?

>>587300343
it feels like it doesn't make a *huge* difference on Hard Mode. But it was noticeable when I switched vocations from Sorcerer to Warfarer with Sorc skills, I got staggered in 3-4 ghoul hits instead of just one.

Dedicated elemental damage and control, I suppose. Combine the knowledge that an enchanted staff applies its elemental debilitation and damage bonus to spells of the same type with access to multiple spells of the same element, and Sorcerer can squeeze the most out of that element.
Though a Mage with pact/affinity and an Archer partner can put in a lot of the same work.

>>587294552
In the DD2 base game, it was questionable if Sorc was useful outside of Augural Flare and Meteoron/Malestrom. In 2Dark2Arisen, the Grand variants of spells are broadly speaking pretty useful, but the numbers could use some tuning. Sorcerer with Battle Frenzy IV/Reversal combo is pretty decent at clearing out rancors at a good pace without needing to mash buttons or consume too many curatives to restore the loss gauge compared to other vocations. However, Meteoron and Maelstrom seem to be not very useful in the expansion, and many of the sorcerer's skills lean heavily on the Grand variant to be useful in endgame farming. The long cast times and stamina costs seem to be some kind of unnecessary 'caster tax' because physical damage vocations can achieve similar results with similar stamina/time expenditures, but without needing to rely on interruptible cast times.

Oh so that's what the simulacrums buff is for, damn.
>>
>>587301867
That's a good point, I didn't think about stacking an elemental staff with the stronger elemental spells for even more damage. I'm still pretty early in hard mode, but the damage between the two, given the higher stamina/time costs of bigger spells, seemed comparable enough that the utility of palladium alone was beating out most of sorcerer's options. For elemental buffs, do you know if they interact with their basic attacks in any special way? I just saw that mage's charge attack explodes instantly while sorcerer's has a delay, but I can't tell if one's stronger than the other or if they interact differently with boons/pacts.

>>587302616
That's good to know too, I'll make sure to get the most out of the meister skills while they're still useful. And yeah, Flare's been putting in pretty good work so far as long as I set it in a good spot. Noticed you could place two in quick succession with Spellhold and that's also been pretty useful

I heard from a friend that he saw some guys fighting Offulve during his last playthrough, but everything I've seen about that quest said it wasn't timed and I personally spent like an in-game month before finishing it yesterday. Maybe they changed it to a timed quest at some point?

They look like fingers and everything. Yeah, I have a fire bow. but you can place a port crystal and return if you are really curious.

Would be better if you killed him once and he gave you something amazing and never showed up again in your current save?

Anyone know where to get extra Norgan Portcrystals? I've only collected four so far. There's got to be a fifth one somewhere, right?

Yeah Arisen's Atelier. It can hide armor and also recolor (make sure to select gray scale option on the part, it makes coloring a lot simpler). There's a few armor hider mods out there, I don't know if they do the recolor as well.

Just had this happen yesterday on a fresh save, I think it's because as soon as I got to the town I rushed straight to Ibrahim and I guess the Beastren dude followed me, as he does, to ask me about the Orb and ran straight into Everard, who had just given me the quest to search the Orb.
>>

Pretty sure there's a fifth but I can't remember where I got each of mine.

Oh I see, if they ever happen to meet then I guess they'll fight. I didn't spend much time there since I was afraid of that, so they never fought even though I took a while before finishing the quest.
>>
>>587305486
Check by the gate where you first fight the Fallen Dragon, it's in a chest in the corner by the steps leading up to the riftstone there. That's the one I hadn't found when I only had four

Coconut cream

Because regular cream, Irish cream, anything with real dairy would curdle instantly and be very unpleasant

What do you mean? I hired her last time she got posted. I don't keep track of pawns outside my regular hires if they don't get posted in the anchor. But mages are a dime a dozen, if they aren't exceptionally good and or special they get forgotten.

because shes fucking ugly
big tiddies but not even a paper bag could fix that face
and all the braindead r*dditors are running immortal rings and wont use mages because they will mess with the AI of the other pawns if they cast anodyne

You are welcome, and no I haven't been a regular in mhg since everyone starting posing the same exact character and it became a shitflinging shithole. Your pawn is fine but I would revise her loadout, she never used deific bolt, not once.

Yeah. I'm not anti-AI, I would go for the Riftspeak one, I just don't wanna pay for tokens.

I removed deific and put pact back on because her deific never really does anything even when she does cast it and I don't have a staff with fortified invoc and also deific. Also I stopped playing milds because they kept doing little updates that broke mods and it isn't worth playing without mods if you know what I mean

I play on a GTX 1080 and it's a little rough, I mostly play at upscaled 1080p (from 720p) and it drops to 30 FPS sometimes, it averages like 45 FPS.
I recommend Optiscaler so you can use XeSS DP4a or FSR4 Lite instead of relying on the game's on AA which sucks or FSR3 which sucks a little less but still sucks.

Yes, gay futa on male sex was the implication.

I assumed it was also so that the pawns could use the Explosive Arrow skill, so ideally one should give them more than 1, right?
>>
>>587316491
Yep. Put 99 explosive and 99 blighting arrows to the inventory of archers you hire with explosive and nocous arrow respectively and they're much more effective.
>>
>>587316491
Well for archers yes it's also to check what skills they're using.
What pisses me off is if the archer is has a blast arrow quest but actually uses something else.
>>
>>587314227
She teaches you an Arisen only vocation. And if you come across her at the hot spring, you can see her chest scar.

>>587320781
To add to this, there's that point in the story where Arisen are shown on the map, and there's an Arisen icon at their house.
