let me know how that works out, im curious too. moonshimmer pelts are from the giant saurian sages, I think.
Ahh, those guys are hard to come by. Still need to find Wargs somehow, need a Mottled Leather.

I had to change my weapons, since I've switched from Sorcerer to MA.Cockatrice are just tough, period. I can't remember my level for Everfall, but my guess would be you need better equipment.
Are you using the weapon you got from the Dragon? Is it fully upgraded?

When do I get godsbane, I forgot.
After defeating Grigori.
Don't remember if you get it right away, or when you enter the Everfall again.
As much as I'm digging the layout of Bitterblack, I hope that with Deep Down Capcom decided to be a bit more original. I don't need another Dark Souls franchise since we already have that, and if I wanted a Bethesda game, I'd play a Bethesda game. Dragon's Dogma excels at the combat at it's companion AI (not stellar, but still probably the best there is atm for an RPG).
What it doesn't do very well is world building. There's nothing intrinsically wrong with the way Gransys looks, except that it's so generic and doesn't have it's own identity (not talking about games it borrows from here). Capcom actually made a pretty interesting world with the Breath of Fire games, so I know they are capable of more than this.
I also can't understand the story in vanilla, and I've finished it three times. The entire goal was for you to chase down the dragon that took your heart, getting it back and possibly stoppingor killing the dragon in the process. But then the explanation that's given for why any of that happened in the first place is ludicrous and it's as though(the dragon from destroying all life, oh noez; when all it wants is a single soul?).the dragon was simply tired of living and wanted someone to kill him since he couldn't perform suicide
You know, I had stopped playing Magick Archer during the main game because it felt too much like easy mode.
But I think for BBI 2.0, it's just what I need.

The romance is also completely awkward. To the point in where it's like they are raping your character
He deserves to be cheesed. No regrets! I can beat both forms in around 3 minutes now. 1st form actually takes more timeLOL, Revenant Wail can stunlock Daimon 2.0 with regular shots up close. That was filthy and I don't feel bad about cheesing him out once I realized this worked on him. Also, why does my regular attack do more damage than tenfold flurry? Makes no fucking sense. Ah well, Daimon 1.0 and 2.0 down to ten minutes tops now.

reloading the game does change up the contents of Daimon's chests.

So, are there 3 tiers of new armor on BBI? Anyone know? I've gotten a complete set of new hydra armor that replenishes health (the helmet is totally badass) then I got some Hellfire armor too which is red and a their above hydra. But then there is a black version of Hellfire that looks same but has different stats.

Capcom actually made a pretty interesting world with the Breath of Fire games, so I know they are capable of more than this. After a more recent discussion about that where some said they liked the way the world looked, I kept trying to look out for anything interesting while playing this playthrough. There's literally nothing that makes any location standout on the outside. It's too "real" for it's own good and everything is saturated in nothing but brown, green and grey.

Yes! A thousand times, yes! Just got the best MA bow in the game.
The big picture goes like this; the arisen is a candidate for godhood. When the current overseer of the world feels it is time they send the dragon into the world to find someone who has the potential to take their place as what is basically god. The dragon is a force of nature. It is a test you must overcome on your way to becoming god.
I just said "yes" a thousand times when I was finally able to ditch the goddamn Gimble Gyre that I'd been carrying around for like 15+ levels. The magick damage of my daggers was literally 50% higher than my bow; which was completely stupid. Once Iand finally got the second best vanilla bow, my bow's damage matched my dragonforged daggers. Now things like GeoSaurian's die to one sixfold. Drakes were already relatively easy with my previous bow, but now their health flows like water, so it's pretty easy farming dragonforged gear (especially since you can just run away and save when it's health is low).beat Grigori

Hmmm...if your regular attack does more than tenfold flurry, that means each individual arrow of tenfold flurry is weaker than one regular arrow. Then, if you take into account the defense stat of the enemy, that means they could mitigate most of the damage from tenfold flurry but will receive more damage from a regular arrow.
I just looked in my stats, I've only killed 3 Giant Saurian Sages total. What the hell. Not sure where they are locatedAhh, those guys are hard to come by. Still need to find Wargs somehow, need a Mottled Leather.
that's probably part of the problem. The Dragon weapon you get is far and away better than what you'll buy at the store. Its gonna be struggle in Everfall with inferior gear. Beating the Ur-Dragon gives the best weapons in vanilla DD, but that will be a challenge too. Everfall has good gear as well, you might just need to grid it til you find some. Bailout out of fights with bosses that are too tough and keep pushing forward.I had to change my weapons, since I've switched from Sorcerer to MA.
How on earth do you play strider vs the strong bandits with the shields?
I have no dodge or roll or block , they can one shot me in one combo (I'm heading to witchwood for an early quest before grand soren) and I never use my bow because it does maybe 5 percent of the dmg my daggers do if that.
So, as I've said before, I'm new to this game. The BBI quest path seemed to open up relatively early for me, should I start it now? I view it as an expansion, so my natural inclination would be to do it at the very end after I finish the main vanilla game. Thoughts? Inputs?
I'm at level 9, and I refuse to use stupidly high level friend pawns so, if BBI is meant to be for leveled up characters I might run into a few problems.
yeah, finish the full game first before heading to BBI, it is definitely meant to be played last. It has the strongest monsters and best gear.So, as I've said before, I'm new to this game.

Pretty much all classes are "weak" vs the strangely leveled early bandits. The bandits in general are odd, because you can face some uber-rangers even at level 30+ that will wreck your health, even though there's no level scaling in the game.
Just run past the bandits early on if they are giving you too much difficulty (and they seem to for all but Sorcerers with High Miasma).

Your party makeup and gear make a big difference. Your triple shot should also be doing a decent amount of damage. I was a beast at aroun level 12 with my bow. Make sure your weapons are enchanted and stay ranged. Have your melee pawns tank the bandits while you strafe aroud sniping. It took me a few tries to get the bandits on that road too, but you can. I don't suggest going right at the fork though since you'll be overwhelmed. Just head left to the wood.
I have the shortbow at lvl 3 enchant, it just does poor dmg and with triple shot I run out of stamina fast. My lvl 3 enchant daggers do massive amounts of dmg. (I get that they'd do more since it's melee but not 5x more)
The controls are weird too for the bow since the triple shot seems to toggle ON when I press the button but won't toggle off unless I stop aiming.

Hi guys, is the frame rate fixed in this re-release with expansion?
Bitterblack Isle, it's the new area introduced in Dark Arisen.Sorry guys, but what is bbi? Is it some kind if must-visit location?
It's the abbreviation for the island added with Dark Arisen.Sorry guys, but what is bbi? Is it some kind if must-visit location?

Though I guess given you may've paid $40 just to be able to go there it's kind of a "must-visit."
EDIT: Beaten.
The recommended level is 50+, but just wait until you clear the game or most of it at least. Feel free to go ASAP just to make the game shut up about the fact you can go there though, you can immediately back out with being stuck or fighting anything.Thanks for the info guys, I have just started playing this game and the ogre and reptiles in the wild have been kicking my ass...is there a recommended level for going to the BBI? I am in the normal mode and keep getting killed by swarms of lizards and thugs, feel like I am playing the game wrong...

What?! There are enchanted bows early in the game? I know people tell you there are peddlers, but everyone I've spoken to is useless. I'm still running round with the basic Longbow at level 30. All my gear is still pretty basic, actually.
