    Get the inn keeper at the elven village to like you enough (with flowers or so on as gifts), and she'll hand over the item for your pawn to learn elvish. Took some gift giving, a stay over night, and another gift to trigger it for me.
    Also, noticed some NPCs will get a bright blush on their face, that gets brighter as they like you more.
    And lastly, if your pawn or one you recruited, starts to hold their head every so often? Chuck em in a lake. A deep one.

    Here's the thing about 10:08 you don't really need the key to get in the vault, all you have to do is wait for the knight to leave that area and the queen regent to go in which unlocks the place for you but in doing so you need to stay out of her line of sight when you go in there, The guard leaves at the start of night which gives you the time needed to sneak in while the regent is in there.

    PROTIP!!! When you return to Melve and it’s attacked by a dragon. You can head up to the tower with the Ballista and use it to kill the dragon before it escapes! Took me 3 full shots to kill it. And with it dead you instantly learn the Mythic Spearhands Ultimate skill after talking to the vocation npc. And if you’re SUPER LUCKY *like my brother* you might get a weapon (Dead Ringer) a Mythic Spearhand weapon with a drop rate of 12.35% looting the corpse.

      @@blackgod5028 It's not good. It can't do any damage, literally any, on it's own. The entire play style for the class is managing a really low health shade that you summon, while constantly generating aggro to yourself or your shade if it's alive, but if you ever get hit the shade instantly dies, and it takes ~2 seconds to resummon it even with the passive speeding it up. It's impossible to keep it alive (the only way to heal it is to hold your vocation skill button, which causes it to float behind you drawing all of the enemies straight to you) if there's more than like 2 enemies hitting it.
      The **only** redeeming skill Trickster has is an aoe buff that drastically increases the damage your pawns do, at the cost of constantly draining their health, but it's 100% not worth being stuck as Trickster for.

    0:43 there is another way for crossing and you can see it behind your character at this second.
    Sometimes you can see those "luxorious" wagoons, and you can go into them and pass the checkpoint. However guards will be hostile if you leave it (I left game on, went to make tea/something to eat and i was already behind checkpoint, but when i go out and moved back, guards started attacking me)

      Adding onto this, a quick way to get the luxury cart to spawn is to use the oxcart signpost at the entrance of the town to "wait for oxcart", which will spawn the regular oxcart that is headed to Vernworth, you should then use the "doze off" option on a bench one time which removes the regular oxcart (best to use the bench in the inn building, as the one right by the signpost made the oxcart keep reappearing for me), if you then run across the bridge out of the town the luxury cart will spawn there on the road.
      Also, to not be attacked by the guards on the other side of the gate, just stay on the cart until they are out of view, or alternatively, if you have a gaol key and want a very quick trip to Bakbattahl (the Battahl capital city) just let the guards on the Battahl side of the gate "kill" you (you don't actually die, they take you down to 1 hp), and they'll send you to the prison in Bakbattahl, at which point you just open your cell with the gaol key and walk out.

    Passing by the gate with the permit DOES NOT require a mask necessarily. It depends on what you do during the Arisen's Shadow quest.
    If you handle that quest one way, you can pass without a mask. If you don't, you must be a Beastren to cross. If you are not a Beastren, you need a mask.

    If you save all your apples/grapes and their ripe versions until you get to bakbattahl (or are lucky enough to find the wandering beastren merchant in checkpoint town), you can sell them for 10x their base sell price and it adds up very quickly. if you don't have a stockpile of them like i do, you can buy them for the cheap price at various places in vermund, particularly in melve (until that quest happens) you can buy 5 of each, sit on a bench for a day or so, and buy more and toss them into your storage using the inn right across the street. there are also ways to make this more efficient like only selling ripened fruit or by using portcrystals and regularly using profits to grab a couple ferrystones.

    You can get a borderpass that lets you pass without being Beastren or needing the mask. Pre-coronation you eventually get a "tail" catch him, decline offer, try not to kill him Brant will come take them away for interrogation and which will lead to the non-Beastren pass.
    With the tomes the guy also gives you a relatively late game (Hot Spring late) Sorc/Mage armour.(I gave him 5 fakes)
    Also a side tip for those that got Mildred's house, since the initial gate to Vernworth can have large monsters spawn in including Drakes.... If you spot it(panicked and cowering NPC's will tell you something isn't right) without agro you can run back to the house and rest, resetting the town so you don't have to deal with it or risk NPC's dying in the process of killing them.

  • @AtomicArtumas

    Large/boss type enemies seem to almost all have rare gear drops, some of which are available surprisingly early on for how good they are. These are also all mostly in the stealing pool, so it's insanely worthwhile to have a thief in your party with the stealing skill equipped at ALL TIMES. Some of the notables include the lich/wight drop of a +45% fire damage archistaff, the medusa's 4x exp bow, among many others. (also a LOT of all-class or very abnormally good single class armor, such as a fire resistant mage coat)
    You can use this to get some REALLY good power buffs super early game, especially if you savescum certain early bosses for them, or even just abuse the steal mechanic against enemies you can't currently defeat. In particular, the fire archistaff is obtainable in waterfall cave, and the medusa bow is technically available as soon as you leave to go to the capitol, you just have to make your way over to any wild medusa spawn, which I believe there's at least one somewhere nearish the checkpoint town, and will make you level up RIDICULOUSLY faster.

    I noticed a lot of people don’t mention it enough, but if you wait long enough at the border to Battahl you can avoid getting a permit/alternate routes entirely by just waiting for the gate to open for somebody else or a wagon/carriage to be passing through, then quickly running beside it or right through as the gate opens.
    Sure The guards will aggro but if you haul ass you can easily make it way past their aggro range and they will just forget anything ever happened.

    One thing of note about the Logistician specialization: There's a quest in Bakbattahl where a dwarf wants an elven stew made with rotten apples and fish. If you have a pawn with the Logistician specialization in the party, it's impossible to complete the quest since they will immediately use your apples and fish to make potions rather than allowing them to rot. Well, you CAN find rotten materials on the ground, but those are random.

    I enjoy playing the game, but I hate it when there are so many things that are easy to miss. It always gives me the feeling that I haven't completed a game 100%. This applies to side quests, trophies, insane loot and everything like that. I think it was done much better in Elden Ring, I got the platinum there, in Dragon's Dogma 2 it's almost impossible to do everything yourself in one playthrough without guides. The gaming experience then feels more like work than something that is fun in the long run. Because that's the goal of a game at the end of the day, it has to be fun.

    1:38 a warning for people, Guerco Cave is actually FAR more harder than that.
    When I approached the cave, there was a *Drake* sitting right in front of the entrance to the (chasm? Not sure what to call narrow passage before cave)
    Took a long time to kill that, but I did.
    Next problem, that you can see briefly in the video, is that there is a *Griffon* flying close enough that it will very likely *aggro* on your butt. If that’s not bad enough, there’s a chance the Griffon could land on the bridge, or some stray fighting hits the bridge and it collapses. This is the only bridge possible to use this passage, so if it knocks out, you have to sprint back to the valley before the cave and camp out there for a few days until the bridge gets repaired. (And why would you spend enough time there for the Griffon to aggro on you, you might say? Because there are a bunch of annoying bandits in the ruined houses just before the bridge on that cliff.)
    Not even at the end of the problems. There’s a whole ass Golem and a Chimera waiting for you in the later lengths of the passages, only the Chimera is really in a place that it is an ‘optional’ boss fight.
    At the very least, if you run through all this and survive, the passage will spit you out straight into Bakbattahl’s little farming area in the residential district (hope I spelt that correctly) so you won’t have to run into further desert horrors to get to the city.

    Beware, if you decide to fight the gryphon at it's nest in early/lower levels. After fighting for a bit a second gryphon (it's mate?) joins the fight and makes things MUCH harder. Learning how to fight gryphons can make the a lot easier and reducing it's life to near death before letting it leave the initial point of battle can help avoid fighting 2. But leaving the nest can be even harder. The problem here is that it's connected to a fog forest where you can't see the way to go and if it's night, which is likely considering how long the gryphon (or 2) will take at lower levels, you'll be dealing with undead... and that's just the beginning. Thankfully there is a Ferry Stone in the nest, so make sure you activate the Port Crystal in the big main town beforehand and you'll have an easy emergency escape method if needed.
