Master Your Journey with the Arisen and Their Followers

While you may think you can conquer it all by wielding your sword and casting your spells, Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a game that requires strategic party management. This complex game has numerous systems that interconnect, and as a result, there are certain details that might be overlooked during your adventure. Here are some helpful tips for your journey as the Arisen and their followers.

Recruit a Team Before Leaving the First Town

In the early stages of your Dragon’s Dogma 2 playthrough, you'll create your pawn in the character creator. This pawn will be your partner in crime, leveling up with you throughout the game. However, they won’t be your only companion. You'll eventually assemble a party of four with other pawns you encounter during your journey. These can be either Capcom-made or player-made pawns (assuming you’re playing online). You can recruit them by interacting with them in the game world or accessing riftstones found in various villages and towns.

Quest Guide Perk for Navigating the World

Some pawns come with passive perks, so always check their build before recruiting them. If you can find one with the Quest Guide perk, it will greatly assist in navigating Dragon’s Dogma 2’s world. These pawns will guide you directly to a quest objective area, reducing your chances of getting lost in the expansive open world.

Complete Item-Gathering Quests by Combining Items

Early on, you’ll encounter quests that require you to turn in items that are not readily available in the world. To acquire these items, you'll need to combine other items. However, the quest description might not always make this clear. If you're struggling with an item-gathering quest, try opening your inventory, selecting relevant items, and using the Combine option to see if you have the right materials to complete the quest.

Gifts are Not Mandatory, But Appreciated

As you cycle through pawns, you’ll need to return them to their owners when you no longer need their services. When you do this, you have the option to send an item with them as a token of appreciation for their help. While there's no downside to keeping all your belongings for yourself, giving a gift is a nice gesture.

Avoid Venturing Out at Night

In the early stages of the game, it’s dangerous to leave a town or village during nighttime. Powerful enemies emerge at night, and if you're just starting out, you'll likely find yourself overwhelmed by their ferocity. Your best bet is to rest at night and set out during the day to avoid facing foes that can strike with formidable force.
