Dragon's Dogma

I forget since I haven't played this game in years but Drakes aren't supposed to be fought till your like level 40. The only reason why you fight it earlier is if you're trying to Dragon Forge your equipment early. But out of all the Giant Bosses drakes will always be a pain. I think arrowing them to death with ice arrows also works.

Ice arrow to the face to silence them, a few more arrows to the wings to stop'em from flying, and then it's blasto to the heart.

I really should switch to a strider but I hate that whole "aiming" thing games are so on about. Hmm. Does magick archer get freezy/silencey/blasty arrows?

No, magic bows cannot use arrows. But you do get one bolt skill for each element which can apply the appropiate status effects. Ice is applied most frequently in my experience and pretty much your standard attack. But with Immolation and Magic Rebalancer it's also a pretty good melee class.

For a good time, try 3 starring a rusty bow.

It's straight up Magikarp Power

Rusty weapons are fucking brutal as support weaponry.

They are? I never used them seriously so I didn't bother.

Apparently they can inflict Poison and Torpor, which is really neat. Personally I never bothered much with status effects and only used the few on the infused Bitterblack weapons.

Might switch my tanky pawn to a strider then, sounds like fun.

That's one thing I didn't care for, the way leveling up works, with stats increasing by different amounts depending on what class you are when you level. To be fair, it didn't ever seem to impact gameplay much (that I noticed), but I would have preferred something less haphazard, maybe separate the leveling of each class somehow.

There probably is a way of managing it and getting a particular build, but I can't imagine I'd have had fun doing it.

It's a little silly too. I'm fairly certain I heard the best build for being a magick archer is to be a sorcerer for 200 levels. Really though the biggest changes happen pre-level 100; after that you can flutter around a bit and not be too underpowered. Besides, at the end of the day ten-shot/explosive arrows is always an option.

Picked it up today. Well, I actually played the first version on PS 3, not the Dark Arisen one. I'm curious what changes have been added, and...

- Realizes the hilariously inappropriate and yet at the same time awesome theme from the vanilla version is no longer the title screen theme -

RUINED FOREVER

I can't listen to the original DD menu theme without inadvertently thinking of this ...

I hated the vanilla Dragon's Dogma theme.

I on the otherhand love it.

I never stayed on the title screen long enough to get to the lyrics XD

Star speaks.

I like this STAR guy.

Oh, wait, are you saying they removed Into Free -Dangan-?

Nooooooooooooooooooooo! -11/10

EDIT: Well I can understand the license expired.

Here's our chance to mod it back in. https://www.reddit.com/r/DragonsDogma/comments/40jspv/into_free_title_screen_mod/

The worse part is, they also lost the rights to the Berserk armors.

No guts cosplay. sorry guys.

On the upside, no Griffith cosplays either.

I heard you could just mod the Berserk Armors back into the game for your cosplaying needs.

Eventually yeah, but the models got completely removed from the files.

Ooh, bummer.

We could get the elite hacker 4chan to backtrace their jpgs from the ps3 version then upload them to the cloud.
