So glad the intro song will be different. The original is as bad as Blue Dragon's boss music.

Has there been word either way on a download option? I'd rather not have to order it from somewhere.

I stopped playing this game after I beat Grigori the first time. Add me on PSN if you want a Warrior pawn: Haarvest

Just fought my first Hydra. Despite using a sword bigger than Cloud's, my pawn was all up in its grills, knocking its faces in with the pommel.

I shot an arrow at Death's lantern and he ran away. Maybe he's afraid of the dark?

So eh... how do you hurt Death? The few times I've encountered him I haven't managed to even scratch him. Then he buggers off like a little girl. Maybe I'm just so scary he can't handle it Dragon's Dogma: Grapple a Griffin, Slay a Cyclops, Climb a Cow, Pitch a Pig (42)

Gorecyclops is the worst enemy in DA. I just had to run away because the thing was constantly enraged. I suppose I could cheese it by standing far above its head and shooting it, or inside a doorway. But that's no fun.

I discovered a way that works for me to put some hurt on Death. Non-stop Ricochet Hunter spam. He doesn't take a ton of damage but it gradually drains away his life bar. It even knocked him down a couple times, but he instantly gets back up. My melee pawns can't do anything to hurt him, sadly.

It's been about 30 levels since I put on new gear for myself and my pawn. I went through my stash and found a bunch of great looking stuff for both of us (oh yeah it's better defense too).

I found a cheesy difficult encounter in Bitterblack. In my 2nd run through, there was a room with a co*ckatrice and Death. Death owned all my pawns while they were all sluggish from petrification and I had to ferry out.

From the boss of the dungeon my first run I got a level 3 cursed weapon, which turned out to be some crazy two-handed hammer called "Twinpaler" that has 1273 Strength with 3 stars. My pawn had been using a no-star Unspoken Grace which was about 600 strength. I also found a fire-enchanted shortbow and some heavy leg armor that regenerates heath.

I have seen them in the Upper Strata after killing Daimon once.

E: to both Giant Saurian Sages and Strigs

Does anyone know where I can encounter more Bling Lords?

I don't know what's going on. People are renting my pawn (Derp the Warrior) pretty often and now I'm up to 1.3 million RC. What am I supposed to do with all this poo poo?

Also I was in one of those tall, round chambers with the bridges and blood and stuff? After the Sorc I had hired smashed the poo poo of half a dozen giant skeletons with Grand Bolide a cursed dragon came. That room is barely big enough to fight one of those guys, it was a real clusterf*ck for a while there, as there were still some banshees and skeleton mages alive up on the outer rings and in little nooks. Fun time actually, but pretty hair raising!

Any advice for taking out liches? None of the shots I have equipped as Magick Archer seem to do much (I have the ice, lightning, and exploding shots) and they fly around like retards out of reach of any melee damage. I eventually won against two of them by spamming my most basic magic arrow shot at them, it took ages. I guess they're super resistant to spells.

Here's a video demonstrating that when uncursing BBI stuff the resultant item is dependent on your and your pawn's vocation:

So if you're hunting for gear for a specific vocation it's a good idea to swap vocations around.

Is there a way to summon or attract Death? I got a quest to kill him.

Also, sorry for everyone whose pawns keep coming back with no rating or gift. They keep doing stupid stuff like getting petrified, 1HKO'd by Death, home run'd by condemned gorecyclopes, and so forth. I need to look around for a pawn that can cure petrification because seriously this is some bullsh*t.

The best you can do is have some rancid bait meat and kill some stuff to hope he comes. I want to say he can't spawn in every area, like the Duskmoon Tower (area with the moonbeam gem doors), but I'm not 100% sure on that. He seemed to like to spawn in the area with two chained gore cyclopses for me, as well as that dark sewer place with the rift crystal lamps and mini gorecyclopses/wraiths/living armor/evil eye/whatever else.

Yeah I've seen him a couple of times in that sewer/waterway area with the blue lamps. That's actually my preferred place to encounter him, because the Ricochet Hunter tears him up good in there. Wish I could buy or make rancid baits.

I beat Daimon a second time, it was super grueling and not fun at all. It came down to basically Megaman or Castlevania-style pattern recognition, and eating a Lordly Tonic or Wakestone when I messed up (used 2 wakestones). Didn't help that my pawns refused to attack at all. I filled him full of Explosive Bolts but neither the Assassin or my own Warrior would jump up on him to detonate them.

I got a Level 3 weapon and armor from him. The weapon is a 1350 base power longsword called Bitter End. The armor was some gloves or something.

Yeah the materials you gather that aren't tools or medicine are used to upgrade your gear at the blacksmith. Materials also combine to produce other materials and such.

I am having really bad luck in finding a better magick bow for my Magick Archer. Right now I'm using Dragon's Breath that I got from Grigori. Dragonforged (red) it's 688 magick. I've been through BBI twice but I haven't found any magic bows better than that yet.

1. Enemies respawn every few days. Not the same enemies, and not the same 'boss' enemies though. There are 3 strata in the dungeon and it seems like you'll get respawns that correspond to the stratum you're in.

2. You can only teleport out if you have a Liftstone. They're all over the place so it's not a big deal to always take one with you.

3. Apart from the main exit, there are shortcuts to exit at the top of the 2nd and 3rd strata that can be opened as shortcuts to enter/leave back to the outdoor area of the island. The second shortcut is about a 5 minute jog from the final boss room if you run the whole time and don't get sidetracked fighting tons of stuff.

I have a Dragon's Quickening that I got from BBI actually. It's about 160 magic weaker at 3 stars than the Dragon's Breath I have at red Dragonforged. I have been carting it around, shooting dragons with it in hopes of getting it dragonforged but no luck so far.

Well, gave the last boss of DA a thrashing. Assassins rule.

I guess the labyrinth is supposed to be harder now? How does it work, same place, stronger enemies? I can see I have to open the shortcuts again. If I kill the last boss a second time will they close again?


After killing the boss a second time the shortcuts stay open.

Pretty excited for this to release on PC. It's just a straight port right? I read that there's no fast travel and it sorta sucks, but hey at least I get to climb on top of cyclops and stab them in the eye.

This has the DLC included, which gives you like 10 fast travel waypoints you can teleport to. Honestly though figuring out all the shortcuts to get around faster on foot is fun, but I'm glad for more teleporters.
