Thank you so much for this, as I've been sorta struggling with Daimon as an assassin (Though, I am not at all correctly geared or levelled out for him, as I'm mid 80s at the moment level-wise)
A more effective way to use Arc here isn't to charge it behind a pillar and get the last bit of his vortex to pull you in, but I found that just letting him suck you closer the whole time you're charging arc will place you just right (if you spaced it well) to slam him in the face and knock him down before the vortex even ends. The only issue is that you need a stamina curative for afterwards, but if you're charging arc you won't stop until you release it, even if he completely drains your stamina while sucking you over. You'll also be in a better position to actually hit him in the head rather than just his legs/body.
Dude I absolutely LOVE that you did a vid for this. I've been waiting for when you would just show off all vocations and their skills against him! ❤️❤️❤️
you are a fucking legend man, we are not worthy lol I have like 89 playthoughs and counting, and i still haven't gotten bored. I hope they make a sequel (online doesnt count)
That was the best use of equips and skills that I ever saw for a assassin against Daimon. The use of hatchet as a boost and a dodge with the full moon slash was really clever, same for the enhanced response to climb to the top of his head 🙄😍 Just amazing, as always ♡ I am still watching so maybe I comment more later 😆 -- Daimon: cast spells, kick, punch, open vortex, transform Mage Nil: jump and side HFB Daimon: "Am I a joke to you?" 😂
Just an FYI Holy Focused Bolt tends to do more damage the further away it starts from the target. You will do considerably more damage per shot if you aim away from Daimon instead of directly toward him. You notice this in the video when you do your "angle shot" it hits a lot harder than your normal shots when you are close to Daimon.
I lose it laughing everytime Daimon does that big, Tekken leg sweep. Idk, it seems out of character for me. Anyways, I'm loving your content and vast knowledge of this game.
First encounter of diamon provide a fun and challenging experience, it's a worthy opponent indeed(no potion and pilgrim). The bgm and atmosphere are great. Post diamon is another story, his second form is extremely dangerous. I can either kill him really quick with potion and pilgrim or he kills me with ease.
Biggest tip is don't listen to those who say min/max. Just try all of the vocations out and then continue as which vocation you enjoyed the most. Other tips, i have many videos, specifically my "Info" playlist, that has some helpful things to know. I have a "schematics" video for all 9 vocations, which shows all of the skills and role of said vocation. Keep your gear upgraded for best results, and that's about it. This isn't Dark Souls, this isn't Monster Hunter, it's unique
@@Nihil0.0 me too need some advice maybe. My MA MAG only a 1300 (with some gears I wore below), and my level was 181 atm. My dragons breath, and other equipments aren't golden dragonforging's yet. Am I miss something to build my characters buffed on? I'm not follow the "plans" either. This was my first characters to play with. Or sadly I must to start over from beggining, again and threw out my previous equipments nor my valuable items?
On the topic of Mystic Knight - If you're willing to rely on good attack rng, holycounter synergizes really well with great cannon, especially vs daimon. It has an extremely high number of procs/sec so if you land a holycounter ontop of your cannon, it absolutely shreds.
God, i hope they make a Dragon's Dogma 2... and hopefully it's better balanced for Fighters and Warriors... holy crap, *especially* warriors. Still not sure how they thought it was a great idea to stick warrior with 3 skills while mage and sorcerer get 6... not that it'd change much when you still don't have time for more than a quick swipe- but still!
Because warrior can one shot almost everything with Arc of oblivion... They don't need 6 skills when they can destroy everything with 3. Besides. You can only have three skills equipt at a time. I like that they don't make me feel like I'm missing out. Im doing an assassin build currently and I hate that I can't have the poison stab move because of how good the other moves are. With warrior I don't have to worry about that I have all I need there ready to go.
@@tesladrew2608 everything would be more fun with more abilities. Doesnt mean they need to them but still warrior with more abilities would be fun to play around with different ability combos. Maybe if theres a god they will make a DD2
I've decided to do this for my new playthrough Magick archer 95% since they're really effective in bbi Strider pawn because I previously went sorceror pawn but he was a little slow of spells which I understand but I felt as if he was always getting too close so a Strider pawn would imo be effective in doing efficient damage by I doubt people take striders with them into bbi as much as a sorceror pawn but I'm at lvl 26 so it's a bit too early stage for pawns to be rented unless its friends renting and giving good ratings just for the sake of it since she was rented once and got 4 stars on everything but idk if that carried over from my previous pawn, he had the same ratings
Strider is one of, if not, THE best classes to take him down. Fracture Dart and Brain Splitter is all you need. Eminence is a must. Barbed Nails x2 is an option. As soon as his Vortex starts, fracture dart him and continue. His 2nd form is stupid vulnerable to fracture dart, he will be forever staggered to death. Curatives? Harspud juice and some Pyrepipe or some of the Giant Fish you find in BBI. Maybe one or two Liquid Vims.
I remember when I used to Daimon run with sorcerer I would always do jumping focus bolt charges and shots. I always thought it was slightly faster that way. Do you know if it is?
@@seenyab4494 jumping and hfb does the same damage. The thing that happens with jumping or aiming away is that distance is created. Jumping prior will let the bolts get greater momentum.
granted this, my reply, is a bit dated, but the blue grab is actually really easy to dodge, roll forward and to the right, just gotta get the timing on it down, just a little after he reaches you. Great vid tho, really enjoyed watching it. Haven't played DDDA in about a year and have sunk a lot of time into it, i might have to play it again now :)
No way to block or dodge, needs to play in red for dmg to be worth anything, no range attack, only 3 skills. Warrior is definitely a high-risk low-reward vocation, but you can genuinely feel like Guts from Berserk with it. Which honestly makes up for most of it's shortcomings.
There's no arm cannon or throwing knives though. Not to mention lack of berserker armor for that suicidal speed + strength boost. It's like playing as golden age Guts against Nosferatu while every other vocation is an anime character.
@@Raldavar fair enough, just pointed out a rather poor argument. The strength of skills should not affect the amount of skills. Diversity is the key for a great experience
@@Raldavar maybe if they let you change between 2h Weapons, and double weapons like 2 swords/maces the game doesn't feel so crap for warriors, and doesn't have sense, the assassin have better strength x lvl, excuse me, I am warrior, I am wielding FUCKING LIKE 70KG WEAPONS
With assassin. I like using gale harness with daggers and showdown with shield. The added dmg with the speed helps. I also use master kill and instant reset. I cant believe how useful instant reset can be in certain situations. For example. If i misunderstand an attack and predict wrongly with my masterkill, i can instantly just roll away to safety.
I picked up this game again recently and played the whole thing as a warrior. Second phase Daimon becomes extremely easy when you realize you can perma stagger him to death by climbing on and attacking his back
That Warrior run looked painful. If you're using Liquid Vim anyway why not use Tagilus's Miracles and Salomet's Secrets and a Tome / Cameo to blitz part 2?
I was playing assassin, i died around 30 times. Always after he entered his 2 form. What i noticed about the first form. Is it doesnt matter how far you actually are. There will be certain moments where he will go for the grab attack even when i was close to him. Either way. Dodging it is difficult. But running to the right is 90% of the time what i do since it works. I also jump to make sure the low hit ox wont touch me.
@@MapleLeafAce Yes you can play, its beatable to start at level 1 on BBI, that is an existing challenge, you start after defeating the hydra, then going straight to BBI, i did it a few years ago and made it all the way to the end of it (Even the second phase ) its just too grindy, requires a lot of patience, i like to do challenges like this, i'm kind of a masochistic son of a bitch LOLZ
I know its been ages but do you remember your leveling split for Magic Knight? I keep screwing around with the stat planner but i cant match your stats
Hey awesome video as always, I was wondering are you active in any other platform? like Discord, Reddit or something? I think it would be easier to reach you out if that's what you want
Well my friend told me I was crazy to fight daimon as a warrior, he call me a mad man, turns out you can just climb on daimon's head and beat the ever living shit out of him and there's nothing he can do about it.
Hmm, makes sense for HFB to do more damage sideways, as each bolt will have a higher chance of hitting the Daimon's head. If it's launched forward you'll have some hit its torso far more often.
I always get 2 Rings of Perserverence and then farm rabbits in hard mode or Goblins in normal mode. keeping the exp at around 100exp per kill has the best rate for dcp over experience.
There's another easier way tbh. After you finish killing the dragon and come back to Gran Soren the knights will try to kill you for treason. You get out of tbe area then come back with 3 pawns and leave your pc/console for a while. At this point they deal almost no damage and you'll maximise your chosen vocation and get a lot of discipline.
What am I missing on second form? Your killing a health bar with 6 swings at cannon at start, using gold forged totem mace and doesn't do anything to his health
You should do a video on what are the best weapons for certain builds like rusted daggers and bow for a slow mo build and stuff like that maybe just a small vid not a huge project
I just found out recently they made a PC MMO with same game mechanics I think it's only in Japanese but I believe there is a fan made mod translator u can download for free without being banned not sure though The trailer btw looks epic
for ma i've found that boosted normal shot is best until he uses vortex same for both forms. while he's vortexing or recovering or knockedown 6/9fold is best as it takes him down quickly. do note that pillars will prevent all 6/9fold bolts from hitting if they hit a pillar. as shown here at the end of ma run
Would you do a arisen+pawns run?solo daimon is easy but keeping the pawns alive without getting sucked in is hard. especially warrior,any good way to stop his 2nd form vortex? I usually climb him and smash his head to stop the first vortex but if i can't kill him after this, it is hard to predict his 2nd vortex
The armor is found in Everfall in post Grigori. Some can be found in BBI. The force hatchet sword buffs the bow. I explain here in this video below. ua-cam.com/video/BAFjaXcBytM/v-deo.html
Hello, Nihil, great vid, learned so much about tactics and tips from u and whisper123 in 2020, really love your content) But still have one question: how do u get your camera so high/distant from your char? Is this a mod or smth else? Waitin` for answer in 2020)
This I have struggled with. It always sounds very level in editor, but after youtube does their thing in upload, it lowers the mic volume. I am still trying new things, as I have been since the start. It is annoying
Is there a reason you don't mention easy farming in under 30 seconds with the ranger? W/ blast arrows? I see so many channels that do ranger Daimon runs and just ignore this. Makes farming a breeze, but I'm always shocked how few people seem to have ever promoted it. Even back 4 years ago when i played this game religiously. Maybe it takes the fun away sure, but it's not like Daimon is a "hard boss" at level 200 anyway.
Hey man, love your videos, so i have a question, i play a sorcerer and i'm lvl 146, but I do no damage to daimon's second form, I can easily defeat his first form with holy focused bolt, but it stops being effective with his second form. So what am i doing wrong? Thanks a lot.
That's because he didn't min max or use buffs. Physical characters with 4 strength perihapts wreck this guy in around 3 minutes. 5 seconds if you're a ranger with explosive arrows. Same for magical characters.Sorcerors absolutely destroy this guy and his next form in around 3 minutes or so.
I've had like 12 arisens but stopped after a while the only problem with this game is that once you reach max level you become way too op everything is almost one shot no challenge
Nah. It's the weapons that make it trivial. When we reach 3k damage it becomes boring. A lv 200 can walk into a room with 4k attack or 1k attack, just by selecting the proper weapons. Same goes for the Armor, if we are 1k in defense, it is God mode, but if we go in with lower tier or un-upgraded, at 500 defense, then it's more balanced. You can keep it interesting by creating the difficulty with what you wield, and stay away from curetive items
@@Nihil0.0, that's what I love about this game! It's so well balanced (mostly) and allows you to limit yourself and still "progress" through it even at max level during NG+. Gransys is a bit trivial, but in Hard Mode one could still get killed easily if not careful. BBI provides much more of a challenge. Although I hate the fact that I can't use some weaker weapons that I like against certain enemies, because fights become just too tedious or nearly impossible. Also, as a Fighter "main," I really don't like Firedrakes and Gorecyclopes (condemned) and wish torpor didn't exist, because they would've been designed to be slower otherwise - like most creatures from Gransys. Instead, they basically require you to apply torpor to deal with them efficiently and reliably. Other than that, Firedrakes' defenses are too high and require endgame weapons and/or boosts to kill them quickly or even stagger/knockdown (that's probably just because of Hard Mode though). And Gorecyclopes... well, you know. They are a pain in the ass, plain and simple.
Yep, I agree. I also don't like that the higher tier shields are required, in order to function with perfect block against some enemies. I would love to go in with the Pelta, but it cannot function. I can go in with Iron Sword and Criteria and they do function, in that they still work, but not the shields. The Longswords and Warhammers also fall into this category, as they have low knockdown, and the point of them is the knockdown, so we are often forced to use the higher tier weapons for Warrior. And yep, Fire Drakes are high defense, but low Magic defense. The enemy that I hate the most are the immune, like Wraiths, or Death who is just a high hp enemy with no threat and no skill required, just high damage. I don't mind torpor overall, but I tend to stay away from it, unless I have to because I am not packing 4k damage on some enemies
Hey man, realize this vid is over a year old and all, but I'm really digging the stats your magick archer, mystic knight and sorcerer have. Any chance of getting the rundown on the vocation leveling you used to get there with the 757 mag/367 att? Been trying to figure it out with stat planner, just can't for the life of me seem to get it right.
Here you go. This is my "ideal" stat for MK, MA, and Socerer. stackoverflow.github.io/dragons-dogma-stat-planner/#as000000002d2d000000000000000064000000 And then my stat for Strider, Ranger, Assassin is Strider to lv10, Ranger to lv100, Assassin to lv200.
@@Nihil0.0 Awesome, thanks so much! I've tried quite a few different "builds" including the 605/605 balanced and it worked out great and all, but seeing that extra 150+ in base magic damage you got there, really got me interested. Plus the autismo in me really likes the way the final numbers look. lol Thanks again!
did u know about the shield cancel u can cancel ur light attack with daggers in the end so u dont need to sit throw the ending of the hit and 2 hits with the sword and cancel with the shield its not that good but its a nice little trick
Nihil0.0 the man still showing the love after all this time. ❤ On with you and toward infinity!!! uhhh... By the by, have you heard of all the new Dragon's Dogma material (possible Dragon's Dogma game replug and netflix anime)?
As a mystic knight i use my periapts, cursed light and abyssal anguish to turn it into a chainsaw. Climb his head in both forms and keep hacking while my pawn distracts him. Its super broken, rarely take damage. On my first fight however, my pawns got killed by the rift attack, so i went dark souls on his ass. Parrying and hitting with my mace, observing his moves
I have around 400-500 base magick and was using a GF cursed light but when i used great cannon on daimon second form it did no damage? I don't know why

A more effective way to use Arc here isn't to charge it behind a pillar and get the last bit of his vortex to pull you in, but I found that just letting him suck you closer the whole time you're charging arc will place you just right (if you spaced it well) to slam him in the face and knock him down before the vortex even ends.

0:35:06 You can walk in with the shield ready, but not the weapon (Ex: Inferno Feint, Holy aid, etc)
you are a fucking legend man, we are not worthy lol
I have like 89 playthoughs and counting, and i still haven't gotten bored. I hope they make a sequel (online doesnt count)
lmao imagine if you could cut off daimon's tail and he falls down and scurries off like a saurian idiot
That was the best use of equips and skills that I ever saw for a assassin against Daimon. The use of hatchet as a boost and a dodge with the full moon slash was really clever, same for the enhanced response to climb to the top of his head 🙄😍
Just amazing, as always ♡
I am still watching so maybe I comment more later 😆
--
Daimon: cast spells, kick, punch, open vortex, transform
Mage Nil: jump and side HFB
Daimon: "Am I a joke to you?" 😂
Just an FYI Holy Focused Bolt tends to do more damage the further away it starts from the target. You will do considerably more damage per shot if you aim away from Daimon instead of directly toward him. You notice this in the video when you do your "angle shot" it hits a lot harder than your normal shots when you are close to Daimon.
I lose it laughing everytime Daimon does that big, Tekken leg sweep. Idk, it seems out of character for me.
Anyways, I'm loving your content and vast knowledge of this game.
First encounter of diamon provide a fun and challenging experience, it's a worthy opponent indeed(no potion and pilgrim). The bgm and atmosphere are great.
Post diamon is another story, his second form is extremely dangerous. I can either kill him really quick with potion and pilgrim or he kills me with ease.
Subbed your videos are very well made and interesting
Thanks Starfish. I do try and I appreciate when it's noticed.
Gotra say,i dont play dragon dogma but your videos really gets me want to try out
Awesome. Do it Supercuate. It's a great play
It's probably one of the best games of the previous console generation and an instant classic. Get it.
@@Nihil0.0 thanks, any tip for starting out? i just bought it for switch
}
Biggest tip is don't listen to those who say min/max. Just try all of the vocations out and then continue as which vocation you enjoyed the most. Other tips, i have many videos, specifically my "Info" playlist, that has some helpful things to know. I have a "schematics" video for all 9 vocations, which shows all of the skills and role of said vocation. Keep your gear upgraded for best results, and that's about it. This isn't Dark Souls, this isn't Monster Hunter, it's unique
@@Nihil0.0 me too need some advice maybe. My MA MAG only a 1300 (with some gears I wore below), and my level was 181 atm. My dragons breath, and other equipments aren't golden dragonforging's yet. Am I miss something to build my characters buffed on? I'm not follow the "plans" either. This was my first characters to play with. Or sadly I must to start over from beggining, again and threw out my previous equipments nor my valuable items?
On the topic of Mystic Knight - If you're willing to rely on good attack rng, holycounter synergizes really well with great cannon, especially vs daimon. It has an extremely high number of procs/sec so if you land a holycounter ontop of your cannon, it absolutely shreds.
Oh yes, Daimon does not like Holy. I had the Ascalon here with the Cannon, so he was getting his share of that Holy Cannon
You make the best videos. Thanks for the info.
Thanks Nikki. I do spend a bit of effort on these videos, so I appreciate the acknowledgment
I subscribed to you recently, your content is very good and I appreciate all the help. You got my support brotha.
Nice. Thanks Franko. I am happy that I can help
God, i hope they make a Dragon's Dogma 2... and hopefully it's better balanced for Fighters and Warriors... holy crap, *especially* warriors. Still not sure how they thought it was a great idea to stick warrior with 3 skills while mage and sorcerer get 6... not that it'd change much when you still don't have time for more than a quick swipe- but still!
Because warrior can one shot almost everything with Arc of oblivion... They don't need 6 skills when they can destroy everything with 3. Besides. You can only have three skills equipt at a time. I like that they don't make me feel like I'm missing out. Im doing an assassin build currently and I hate that I can't have the poison stab move because of how good the other moves are. With warrior I don't have to worry about that I have all I need there ready to go.
@@EazyDoesitxD
Warrior is the worst and weakest class in the entire game
@@EazyDoesitxD it would be more fun with six
@@hopoutattheafterparty6245 not true at all.
@@tesladrew2608 everything would be more fun with more abilities. Doesnt mean they need to them but still warrior with more abilities would be fun to play around with different ability combos. Maybe if theres a god they will make a DD2
Thank you for your videos on this beautiful game
Sure thing Vincent. Thanks for being here
That mystic knight with 1 left on the health bar gave me so much anxiety 😬
I've decided to do this for my new playthrough
Magick archer 95% since they're really effective in bbi
Strider pawn because I previously went sorceror pawn but he was a little slow of spells which I understand but I felt as if he was always getting too close so a Strider pawn would imo be effective in doing efficient damage by I doubt people take striders with them into bbi as much as a sorceror pawn but I'm at lvl 26 so it's a bit too early stage for pawns to be rented unless its friends renting and giving good ratings just for the sake of it since she was rented once and got 4 stars on everything but idk if that carried over from my previous pawn, he had the same ratings
Strider is one of, if not, THE best classes to take him down. Fracture Dart and Brain Splitter is all you need. Eminence is a must. Barbed Nails x2 is an option. As soon as his Vortex starts, fracture dart him and continue. His 2nd form is stupid vulnerable to fracture dart, he will be forever staggered to death. Curatives? Harspud juice and some Pyrepipe or some of the Giant Fish you find in BBI. Maybe one or two Liquid Vims.
Quick fact about Ranger: If you are too close, Longbow damage is decreased, too far, damage decreases, Longbow is the epitome of mid range
Nihil0.0: I am the MAIN REASON why Dragon's Dogma 2 happened.
Capcom: I mean he's right... -_-
:P HAHAHA OOPS
I remember when I used to Daimon run with sorcerer I would always do jumping focus bolt charges and shots. I always thought it was slightly faster that way. Do you know if it is?
I would imagine so. Last I checked focused bolt did more damage if you jumped and then cast, not sure why he didn’t do it.
@@seenyab4494 jumping and hfb does the same damage. The thing that happens with jumping or aiming away is that distance is created. Jumping prior will let the bolts get greater momentum.
@@Nihil0.0 What about Eminence?
@@eldonhill4840 nope, Eminence only boosts physical damage.
1hr10min long vid with 90% of it being warrior slashing daimo's knees then dying XD warriors life is a hard one XD but i love love it
Poor Warrior. Always gets the shaft
@@Nihil0.0 a shaft which is used to eviscerate ones ass.... mainly the player tho XD
I kill this boss under 10 mins with warrior
granted this, my reply, is a bit dated, but the blue grab is actually really easy to dodge, roll forward and to the right, just gotta get the timing on it down, just a little after he reaches you. Great vid tho, really enjoyed watching it. Haven't played DDDA in about a year and have sunk a lot of time into it, i might have to play it again now :)
No way to block or dodge, needs to play in red for dmg to be worth anything, no range attack, only 3 skills. Warrior is definitely a high-risk low-reward vocation, but you can genuinely feel like Guts from Berserk with it. Which honestly makes up for most of it's shortcomings.
There's no arm cannon or throwing knives though. Not to mention lack of berserker armor for that suicidal speed + strength boost. It's like playing as golden age Guts against Nosferatu while every other vocation is an anime character.
@@Raldavar sorcerers can oneshot a lot of crap at once
still have 6 skills
@@frozenstar8050 Even with 6 skill slots Warrior is still the weakest vocation by far. It needs a rework instead of 3 more skill slots.
@@Raldavar fair enough, just pointed out a rather poor argument. The strength of skills should not affect the amount of skills. Diversity is the key for a great experience
@@Raldavar maybe if they let you change between 2h Weapons, and double weapons like 2 swords/maces the game doesn't feel so crap for warriors, and doesn't have sense, the assassin have better strength x lvl, excuse me, I am warrior, I am wielding FUCKING LIKE 70KG WEAPONS
With assassin. I like using gale harness with daggers and showdown with shield. The added dmg with the speed helps. I also use master kill and instant reset. I cant believe how useful instant reset can be in certain situations. For example. If i misunderstand an attack and predict wrongly with my masterkill, i can instantly just roll away to safety.
36:00 You CAN enter the "Arena" with the Trance ready, only the shield enchant doesnt lasts
7 months later but I don’t think Abyssal Anguish transfers either
Took me long hours of hiding behind walls with wizard.
How do you equip weapon while climbing at 18:19 @Nihil0.0
I wanna see a complete run through of the Island without running and keep your pawns alive! NOW that would something I've never seen before!
Do you have any tips on certain clues to let you line up the range on that explosive arrow? 2:41
This video below explains. Around 18 mins in

I'm sure the UR dragon is super old news but do you have a vid I haven't found about spanking him quickly with strider?
I don't have any UR vids, but Strider; Climb and kisses, downpour volley does great
@@Nihil0.0 Thx
I picked up this game again recently and played the whole thing as a warrior. Second phase Daimon becomes extremely easy when you realize you can perma stagger him to death by climbing on and attacking his back
That Warrior run looked painful. If you're using Liquid Vim anyway why not use Tagilus's Miracles and Salomet's Secrets and a Tome / Cameo to blitz part 2?
I know this is a very old post but I'm a late bloomer. Wouldn't blast arrows be more effective for any of the srchery vocations?
I was playing assassin, i died around 30 times. Always after he entered his 2 form. What i noticed about the first form. Is it doesnt matter how far you actually are. There will be certain moments where he will go for the grab attack even when i was close to him. Either way. Dodging it is difficult. But running to the right is 90% of the time what i do since it works. I also jump to make sure the low hit ox wont touch me.
Why not do a BBI LV 1 challenge with all the classes? i would love to watch every single one of those
I refuse to use throwblast and periapts. I hate carrying inventory and pausing. If I can't kill it without, then I wait until I get better gear
Well, fine for me i guess, i'd still love to watch those
Sota Miller it would never work. BBI is meant as content to be played at like level 50 minimum.
You’d never do any damage at level 1.
@@MapleLeafAce Yes you can play, its beatable to start at level 1 on BBI, that is an existing challenge, you start after defeating the hydra, then going straight to BBI, i did it a few years ago and made it all the way to the end of it (Even the second phase ) its just too grindy, requires a lot of patience, i like to do challenges like this, i'm kind of a masochistic son of a bitch LOLZ
@@sotamiller7683 1 yearago but no need to defeat hydra. just go to bbi after pawn creation
I know its been ages but do you remember your leveling split for Magic Knight? I keep screwing around with the stat planner but i cant match your stats
Is this video on 360 or One? My set of dukes clothing only has 50some percent stagger resistance (One)
Hey awesome video as always, I was wondering are you active in any other platform? like Discord, Reddit or something? I think it would be easier to reach you out if that's what you want
I am on discord and I have a reddit acount, but youtube is my preferred platform. I just make videos, I'm not trying to be heard or seen per say
Well my friend told me I was crazy to fight daimon as a warrior, he call me a mad man, turns out you can just climb on daimon's head and beat the ever living shit out of him and there's nothing he can do about it.
Amazingly accurate, Good Ser. 👌
7:29 Look at that chest face... It's glowing!!!!!!
Hmm, makes sense for HFB to do more damage sideways, as each bolt will have a higher chance of hitting the Daimon's head. If it's launched forward you'll have some hit its torso far more often.
28:30 where did you get that Staff?
That's the reward weapon that you get when you defeat Grigori as a Sorcerer
@@Nihil0.0 ty
I just watched your fighter tactics video,how do you get so much discipline at the start of the game?
I always get 2 Rings of Perserverence and then farm rabbits in hard mode or Goblins in normal mode. keeping the exp at around 100exp per kill has the best rate for dcp over experience.
There's another easier way tbh. After you finish killing the dragon and come back to Gran Soren the knights will try to kill you for treason. You get out of tbe area then come back with 3 pawns and leave your pc/console for a while. At this point they deal almost no damage and you'll maximise your chosen vocation and get a lot of discipline.
@@scyred4568 "at the start of the game"
Warrior player, is the Ring that turns Arc of Deliverance into Arc of Obliteration helpful at all?
It is more powerful, but the big thing with lv3 is more AOE for surrounding enemies, and higher knockdown
1:01:00 This is Bob Barker reminding you to help control the Daimon population - have your Daimon spayed or neutered.
True. Don't want a bunch of little Daimons ruuning the streets.
What am I missing on second form? Your killing a health bar with 6 swings at cannon at start, using gold forged totem mace and doesn't do anything to his health
You should do a video on what are the best weapons for certain builds like rusted daggers and bow for a slow mo build and stuff like that maybe just a small vid not a huge project
Do u have a video showing how to use striders firework shot or whatever it's called? Aiming and timing the detonate on that thing is confusing af.

@@-honor-ln9035 idk
@@ShadowScytheReaper hmm xD
for ma i've found that boosted normal shot is best until he uses vortex same for both forms. while he's vortexing or recovering or knockedown 6/9fold is best as it takes him down quickly. do note that pillars will prevent all 6/9fold bolts from hitting if they hit a pillar. as shown here at the end of ma run
yeah, during the voertex 6fold is great, land it at his head and fairly easy to interupt
Why there is no this incredible music?
Would you do a arisen+pawns run?solo daimon is easy but keeping the pawns alive without getting sucked in is hard. especially warrior,any good way to stop his 2nd form vortex? I usually climb him and smash his head to stop the first vortex but if i can't kill him after this, it is hard to predict his 2nd vortex

Hello, Nihil, great vid, learned so much about tactics and tips from u and whisper123 in 2020, really love your content) But still have one question: how do u get your camera so high/distant from your char? Is this a mod or smth else? Waitin` for answer in 2020)
On PC, you can adjust field of view in the settings menu. Higher FoV = camera further away.
@@CJWproductions thank u) Will try it next time
U can easily Dodge the Grab as a yellow vocation when u roll right in Front of him at Like 2-3 o'clock
Litle criticism: either raise your voices volume or lower the game. Can be hard hear you at times. Severe example at 3:34
This I have struggled with. It always sounds very level in editor, but after youtube does their thing in upload, it lowers the mic volume. I am still trying new things, as I have been since the start. It is annoying
Is there a reason you don't mention easy farming in under 30 seconds with the ranger? W/ blast arrows? I see so many channels that do ranger Daimon runs and just ignore this. Makes farming a breeze, but I'm always shocked how few people seem to have ever promoted it. Even back 4 years ago when i played this game religiously. Maybe it takes the fun away sure, but it's not like Daimon is a "hard boss" at level 200 anyway.
Hey man, love your videos, so i have a question, i play a sorcerer and i'm lvl 146, but I do no damage to daimon's second form, I can easily defeat his first form with holy focused bolt, but it stops being effective with his second form. So what am i doing wrong? Thanks a lot.
Damn.
Chipping down that health bar would be so annoying.
That's because he didn't min max or use buffs.
Physical characters with 4 strength perihapts wreck this guy in around 3 minutes.
5 seconds if you're a ranger with explosive arrows.
Same for magical characters.Sorcerors absolutely destroy this guy and his next form in around 3 minutes or so.
I've had like 12 arisens but stopped after a while the only problem with this game is that once you reach max level you become way too op everything is almost one shot no challenge
Nah. It's the weapons that make it trivial. When we reach 3k damage it becomes boring. A lv 200 can walk into a room with 4k attack or 1k attack, just by selecting the proper weapons. Same goes for the Armor, if we are 1k in defense, it is God mode, but if we go in with lower tier or un-upgraded, at 500 defense, then it's more balanced. You can keep it interesting by creating the difficulty with what you wield, and stay away from curetive items
@@Nihil0.0, that's what I love about this game! It's so well balanced (mostly) and allows you to limit yourself and still "progress" through it even at max level during NG+. Gransys is a bit trivial, but in Hard Mode one could still get killed easily if not careful. BBI provides much more of a challenge. Although I hate the fact that I can't use some weaker weapons that I like against certain enemies, because fights become just too tedious or nearly impossible.
Also, as a Fighter "main," I really don't like Firedrakes and Gorecyclopes (condemned) and wish torpor didn't exist, because they would've been designed to be slower otherwise - like most creatures from Gransys. Instead, they basically require you to apply torpor to deal with them efficiently and reliably. Other than that, Firedrakes' defenses are too high and require endgame weapons and/or boosts to kill them quickly or even stagger/knockdown (that's probably just because of Hard Mode though). And Gorecyclopes... well, you know. They are a pain in the ass, plain and simple.
Yep, I agree. I also don't like that the higher tier shields are required, in order to function with perfect block against some enemies. I would love to go in with the Pelta, but it cannot function. I can go in with Iron Sword and Criteria and they do function, in that they still work, but not the shields. The Longswords and Warhammers also fall into this category, as they have low knockdown, and the point of them is the knockdown, so we are often forced to use the higher tier weapons for Warrior. And yep, Fire Drakes are high defense, but low Magic defense. The enemy that I hate the most are the immune, like Wraiths, or Death who is just a high hp enemy with no threat and no skill required, just high damage. I don't mind torpor overall, but I tend to stay away from it, unless I have to because I am not packing 4k damage on some enemies
Another question, have you done a video on the Ur dragon?
Nope. I am not a fan of UR. No real challenge, just a giant hitbox, I feel the same way about Death.
How did you get your weapon and armor stats in the thousands / I wood love to be able to get my stats up that high 😁
How did you get Fracture Dart to explode that much? Usually I just get 4 explosions. But you were getting like around 8.
Hey man, realize this vid is over a year old and all, but I'm really digging the stats your magick archer, mystic knight and sorcerer have. Any chance of getting the rundown on the vocation leveling you used to get there with the 757 mag/367 att? Been trying to figure it out with stat planner, just can't for the life of me seem to get it right.

@@Nihil0.0 Awesome, thanks so much! I've tried quite a few different "builds" including the 605/605 balanced and it worked out great and all, but seeing that extra 150+ in base magic damage you got there, really got me interested.

Que traes puesto!?
As a mystic knight i use my periapts, cursed light and abyssal anguish to turn it into a chainsaw. Climb his head in both forms and keep hacking while my pawn distracts him. Its super broken, rarely take damage. On my first fight however, my pawns got killed by the rift attack, so i went dark souls on his ass. Parrying and hitting with my mace, observing his moves
I have around 400-500 base magick and was using a GF cursed light but when i used great cannon on daimon second form it did no damage? I don't know why
