Mate, just finished my first escalation today, busy with the striker escalation build for giggles, only been playing a total of 20 hours and your vids are inspiring and absolutely helpful to me starting the grind!
I played this game in Closed Beta way back when, and am an original "Founder", but haven't played in a while. Let me just say, these videos and the updates that Phoenix Labs is doing are tempting me to get back into it. It's really exciting to see how far Dauntless has come from it's early stages and definitely relaxing to see an indie company like Phoenix Labs getting more publicity, because it's hard to not see that they're trying!! They've come a long way from the disaster of multiples hours of waiting for logging in.
You effeminately should, the new strikers are super fun, and Escalation is pretty balanced bc its both a challenge, but its not completely rigged against you in every aspect. Like you might not get to Malk EVERY time, but more often then not you will.
I was in the same boat, I am a "Founder" and played a bit in the beginning and stop because lack of diverse amount of behemoths and weapons styles, now it's gotten super interesting and fun. My brother got me back into it
17:16 Duelist's Precision has a niche with axe throwing. Getting that one crit doesn't matter if you're using chain blades and hitting 5 times per second, but that crit can mean a good chunk of damage if you are hitting for tens of thousands of damage with a single throw on Malkarion. Obviously, raw damage skills like damage pact will always be better picks in general, but DP is certainly at least usable for this purpose. FYI, for anyone looking to get specific part breaks, axe throwing is by far the easiest way to get them. You can literally break any part in 2 hits with minimal effort.
When I first saw the "Lightning Escalation" bit it got me thinking... If they specify the type, does that mean there'll be different escalations coming? If so, will we be getting new behemoths for each element or is Malkarion going to be a "modular" behemoths with rotating elements? That could be a neat feature of his legendary gear, the element can be changed in the crafting menu with certain parts from each new escalation element.
3:20 - dude, but this is exactly like the armor you get from huntpass - you just play the game enough and you unlock the armor. It's not like every talent point is more difficult [skill-wise] to get and arriving to the last point tells something about your skill. It's the opposite - each talent point is easier to get, since you have more and more buffs.
Doing the first tree 1-13 is quicker and easier, so you actually finish in half the time....so actually you get more kills/xp per hour. Not everyone has been playing the game for years, so doing the first one is actually way better for newer players.
Iceborne gonna be very useful.. i dont know why some people said dont rely on it.. but with escalations its gonna be useful af.. chance that you cant dodge is high.. tanking it is the only way.. its the meta cell for escalation
Depending on how awesome your team is doing, by the time you get to that 4th round and the Escalation is at 40 or higher, those behemoths are essentially going to one shot you, even with Iceborne active.
@@kilikodagawa5849 You can easy tank both of them even on 40 +. I did Shrowd and Shrike together solo on 42 or 43 . But iam Slayer level 50. Dont know maybe youre Level 10 or something. Only this Dragon in the end can one Shot you with his Bite Attack
i'm at the part in the "story" where things get stupid hard and extra grindy. this is that part, sorta. i unlocked this a little bit ago, but have avoided it like the plague to not only prepare, but also level up. this build up for something so daunting is making me nervous
Hey other gun mains, does the audio for shooting become super weird for you guys too? It only plays the sound for the last 4 shots and the sound that indicates my mag is empty. Is that a bug or is it something on my end?
Ohdough can you please shed some light on the ardent cyclone special bug makes it so you cant sprint after using special you're a partner and paid content creator they're more likely to fix it faster if you guys step up and spread the word.
I just got some game play of a broken ass bug im uploading to my channel right now idk how it happened but i was doing escalation and my axe turned buggy and i got some infinite special slam with invincibility frames feel free to use my video so they can fix that as well because if someone finds a way to replicate it will be god hand all over again.
Im pretty new to the game and I want to master a weapon as early as I can, started with axe, switched to chain blades but idk if they're good enough, so whats the best weapon?
Cb is great for dps and mobility imo but if your super good i think aether strikers are king now just because of the damage potential but you really need to learn all the fights to get the most out of them. I will say though you should play every weapon and be well rounded.
Hammer and Strikers are widely regarded as OP, but as you probably saw in the video, it's easy to make anything else work. If you enjoy Chainblades, stick to them. It's what I did too.
There are both meta and specialised builds in the official dauntless discord server, give it a try! Also, there are many experienced players that are willing to help you with tailoring your build to your personal play style ;)
CSCD 13 you can learn this by yourself just run every behemoth over and over and watch his attacks you will start too remeber when too dodge thats what i did some hunts you can also start with a innterupt if you know how to do it easy herioc+ 3-4mins some even faster if you talking about malkarion just watch his tail he loves too spin arround with it
@@ZmbieTaco i know but its vere lagy and i need a pc witch i have and i did and it worked but it brack next day or after an hour😭😭😭 but thx for the help

True, didn't think about that one because I wrote of axe but it seems to be really good in a group with someone using chain blades
still tryna figure out how the hell to access the menu at 2:36
How you know?
Breath of Life combined with Iceborne makes for some really good health regen; that alone has kept me alive through a few escalations.
Thank you sensei I didn't know what the heck those things were when I did my very first escalation but thank you for clearing this up
great seeing some interesting stuff brewing in Dauntless as of late :D
yeah i thought the same. I wanted to quit but this Update is really nice. The new Game Mod is awsome.
@@Hapsle (✯ᴗ✯)
I need help!!!how do I spend a skill point,I'm stuck with the mission a talented individual.
Did you figure it out? Edit: it’s right next to the Arkan Drew guy (there’s like a weird lamp post or whatever)
Yeah

I think we get other behemoths
Other behemoths most likely. Hopefully new amps and modifers too
me seeing this after blaze escalation has been added and umbral escalation has been announced:
:(LOL:)
I have a hunch that in the future we will see Escalation for Heat, Frost and Earth Behemoths... That would be awesome.
Teliric?
no u use code lazar no u bad translation. edited
@@LeonidasGGG oh okay
i cant find this interface to upgrade, can anyone help me?

It really isn't, but k?
You only earn the cosmetic armor by playing. The actual armor itself still has to be crafted.
It's not like the armor from the HP since it's free... and you know that it's from doing escalation.
@@OhDough you still neeeed the malkarion armor for it bud
@@DesiredEntity malk is in escalation
Holy you are saving my life in this game
Could you make a build with the malkarion armor and weapon?
I was the 1000nth like it was so satisfying seeing it go from 999 to 1k
The power and armour bonus you get for your lanter is linked to your talent points. Each talent point you allocate, you get +2 power.
Well... it's linked to levels. Every level you get +2 power/defense and 1 talent point, whether you spend the point or not.
Doing the first tree 1-13 is quicker and easier, so you actually finish in half the time....so actually you get more kills/xp per hour. Not everyone has been playing the game for years, so doing the first one is actually way better for newer players.
Are the shield health for the torrent shield amp stackable with multiple slayers or does it make it sorta worthless of more than one gets it?
Each person that picks it up applies shields with their lantern hold. They don't stack, but you can get more uptime with 2+ people alternating them.
i might miss it somewhere is talent only work in escal?

With escalation it's pretty much the best cell in the game sadly
how do i get this thing with the 2 swords in the omnicell's place

@OhDough do you know if there is a way to get founder title? I’m from closed beta but could not but that at the time.:/
How much combat merits does it take for the whole slayer path?
Where can I see what all the modifiers do? Like the targeted area thing which targets behemoth parts.
You can't unless it's on the dauntless website. Bot sure anyone has made a video or post about them otherwise
@@OhDough Oh that's a bugger. I should suggest it to them. Also ask them to tell us what the crafting mats are when you mouse over them. Yeah.
Hey other gun mains, does the audio for shooting become super weird for you guys too? It only plays the sound for the last 4 shots and the sound that indicates my mag is empty. Is that a bug or is it something on my end?
Audio has been super weird recently. Most of it should get sorted in the next patch
the amps buff are just for Lightning escalations? or normal hunts too?
What level do you haft to be to fight the legendary behemoths?
virulent impact needs to become a core or a feature of twin suns... it literally what makes twin suns really viable
Thanks! Lol every time I don't understand what's happening I know where to come to now
What is the sword build your running in this video?
Hell yeah brother KKona
the crit mod is nice for chainblades, if u use that lvl16 mastery mod for em.
Does the powers work on normal hunts?
Ohdough can you please shed some light on the ardent cyclone special bug makes it so you cant sprint after using special you're a partner and paid content creator they're more likely to fix it faster if you guys step up and spread the word.
I'll try and test it tomorrow to see if I can reproduce the bug
I just got some game play of a broken ass bug im uploading to my channel right now idk how it happened but i was doing escalation and my axe turned buggy and i got some infinite special slam with invincibility frames feel free to use my video so they can fix that as well because if someone finds a way to replicate it will be god hand all over again.
When fighting malkarion are the wings considered limbs when going for parts?
Yes
yep
new subs here man! love your vids!

@@sn1pertoaster thx :)
What should you get for playing solo
Chain blades and a gold sticker
@@OhDough thanks what chainbladdes tho should I use hellion
@@callmekermy9946 yes, I'll have a video with a build on this exact stuff tomorrow
Ok thanks I'm only gonna start farming when I know what to farm can u also go over amps in the vid as well
Dough how many days would take to grind the final skin? Ty in advance
Jayboy Jaen i lvled from 10-25 in one day

Im on 19 lvl need to get to 25 its hard when u play with random players its a pain in the ass
Is ur guild still doin or u guys are all done planning.to join ur guild hahaha
@@N5Addiction yeah bro whats ur discord lemme join some guild hahaha
Can you use amps in normal missions like pursuits
nope
I’ve watched like all you dauntless videos
I started playing again and thought the no stamina cost was in the game permanently
what is the best weapon and build as of right now.
fire repeaters/hellion chain strikes but you can use anything
Why hellion chain and not other chains
@@moiveuxbiscuit4884 hellion is meta because of the slots (power/power)
you can also use malkarion or riftstalker too
How tf do you have 100,073 patrol chests?
Am I the only one that notice that he has 100k bonus chests? 😮
Where are arkan drew i need help!!
Ok but how do I open that talent tree and spend talent points
There is a person sized structure next to the lantern dude in ramsgate. Interacting with it allows you to assign your talent points.
Thx for help
I was waiting for this video....because those new talent things are too confusing.
also rows, columns...it's all a matter of perspective :D
Nobody's talking about hơ he got 100,000 patrol chests?
bible project
Im still waiting for the dodging video Dough....still waiting. Either way good video
