Capcom Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen
- Thread starter Syril
- Start date
Golems are 100% immune to all elemental spells and only takes damage on medallions. Gicel is split damage. Go figure.
High Bolide will do the job. My MC and sidekick Sorcerer can kill Golems without too much fuss. They aren't very difficult to survive. The hardest part is hitting the medallion on the bottom of their foot.
In the pawn recruitment thingy dimension there are several incredibly high level pawns decked out in gear, I assume these would be completely gamebreaking to hire? Why are they there?
Friends list probably.
I did it. I beat the fucking beholder gazer. I wish I could say it was because of some cleverness. Some unique insight I made through prior failures. Alas, I just did more or less what I had been. The only difference was this time the attacks landed for some inexplicable reason. At least I didn't pussy out and switch from sorcerer class to something else. The victory was pure.
I wish I had problems with 1 time bosses instead of stumbling upon multiple elder ogres where each battle dragged on and on. Respawning made everything worse.

pretty much my experience as sorcerer too. slow chipping on his health bar and then suddenly few bars just disappeared.
A good ways into the game now, this feels kind of like the game Fable wishes it was.

DD would certainly get even more better if you could fart on people's faces!

Since I started my replay of this, I've noticed the Pawns in DDDA are seriously retadred compared to DD2. I'm finding their general behaviour really frustrating and I don't remember feeling this annoyed with them when I originally played it.
Definitely that, but they do get better once they get experience. They never get to DD2's level though.
It can be fun just nuking your pawn and playing by yourself too.
Just take precautions so mimics don't insta you if you're going through BBI solo.

Pawn behavior in the original Dragon's Dogma varies dramatically with their inclinations, which are far more restricted in the sequel. After the PC port was released, I downloaded a mod that allows the player to select the primary and secondary inclinations for all procedurally-generated pawns, which rendered them far more helpful than they had generally been in my playthroughs on the Playstation 3. For your Main Pawn, of course, you can purchase potions from the vendor at the Encampment, which allow you to set the primary and secondary inclinations; you should periodically reset these to avoid drift that will tend to occur over time.
