Dragon's Dogma |OT| For the night is dark and full of terrors

Pie and Beans

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
You can buy ferrystones from a few vendors, which teleport you back to Gran Soren, but that's it.

Not true, you can get a 'portacrystal' from Blue Moon Tower, which you can set down anywhere and then that adds a choice of destination next time you use a ferry stone.

I fought the Dragon. Shit has gotten very real. The eye raped me. How do you 'use' potions on pawns hit by the stoney gaze? I gave one to a pawn and they didnt use it themselves. Also who sells dat shit for cheap, because clearly I need a fair few.

Heads-up: Ur Gen 66 is at 3 bars now and dropping, probably be easy loots in an a bit.

Yeah I saw that. So even if he's not flying around when I go to his area, when it dies, will I still see loot? I've never done this before. He WAS there, but then I fired a few arrows and left after he looked at me. =x

At this point unless you're pretty high level its best to try and hold out until you can get an easy kill on him. Basically once he's been downed there's a grace period where everyone entering his chamber has a chance of getting a kill-shot on him. Lasts for 15-30 mins apparently.

So short version, check in at lament chamber and see how much hp he has left, if he's got 0 dots left, have at it. If not, exit out the back door and try later.

Gen 66 is mean as hell. He's smashed a couple of groups and as a result he want back up to nearly 5 bars, and last I check he was still about where he was when I made my post ; ;

Damn. Yeah I'm only level 53 Assassin. I kinda took a break cuz after 60 hours and finally just going for post-game, I was getting kinda tired. lol. I guess I'll just wait til I get stronger or something.

EDIT: Forgot to ask, if he's not there, how do you get him to show up again?

I think he's always there, or at worst go back the guild and rest until the next day.

Also, as an assassin make sure you go at night - the nighttime boosts are super-useful in Everfall.

Ah okay. So is it basically like night time always in the Everfall then? lol. It's always dark so I wonder.
 
Man, this game. I was out of town on vacation all of last week, so I spent today catching up. I just completed the Shadow Fort mission and it got crazy because night fell as I was fighting. The day/night cycle adds so much to this game, it's amazing. My character is level 27 and I have three more ranks in Magic Archer, then I'm moving on to Assassin.

Ok I just finished the most cryptic archaic quest I have taken on bar none. "Nameless Terror", seriously design decisions like these are down right baffling.

In any case, why does my inclination keep changing. I know I leave it as Utilitarian and Challenger and after a few hours its back to Guardian what is going on? Is this a glitch?

Just started this game yesterday. Hey guy, knock down these scarecrows! Great! Now kill this fucking huge multi-headed dragon thing!

Wait, what?

I'm a level 30 strider and I'm still using a Sylvan Bow. All of the superior bows sold by the vendor at Gran Soren aren't usable by my vocation. What's my best option here? Do I just have to hold out hope that I'll find something better as loot? My bow is way underpowered at this point :(.

To be fair, you don't actually have to kill it. I still haven't seen one of those guys in the wild yet.

Weird, just after getting my second Ur kill I'm horrendously overpowered. The suddenness of it was really surprising.

For people on NG+ and beyond, how much is there time-wise to do after you trade in your 20 stones before it restarts?

Beyond potions and the knowledge chair, I'm pretty sure inclinations can change depending on what actions you give to your pawns (using "Come!" often turns them more toward Guardian, for example) and also what the other pawns in your party are. If you have two pawns that are scavengers, your main pawn may slowly grow into one, too, possibly even overthrowing his or her current primary/secondary inclinations. It's a pretty hidden mechanic--I wouldn't be surprised if your pawn's inclinations can also change while recruited by other players. Hopefully someone with a little more knowledge on this can chime in.

You're locked into that last quest after handing in the stones, so finish all your postgame stuff before giving them away because NG+ starts right after. :)

All the time you want. Just turn in the 20 Wakestones when you feel like you're ready to start NG+.

I have a Mage and a Sorcerer with me, and I just checked both of them are on Guardian. Why in the name of all hell would my fighter pawn want to adopt that trait.

I use the D-pad accordingly, if I'm walking and I see the enemy before they see me I press left or right, that makes the Mage apply buffs and if the Sorcerer has Necromancy or one of the core skills that make the little orbs fly around them. I use [UP] if its an all out brawl and I want the Sorcerer to lay down her most vicious spell, and I rarely press [DOWN] since I'm not running from much creatures now.

Its crazy they would allow it to just change like that, that means in addition to finding Mages and Sorcerers and skills that I like, I have to check their inclinations too?!

I think you guys are misunderstanding him. Sounds to me like he's asking how much there is to do after you turn in the wakestones but before NG+ starts.

Yep. I was wondering how long time-wise it'll take to finish after turning in. Kinda late here, so not sure whether to go for it and try and finish up tonight, or leave it for tomorrow.

I believe carrying an idol around with you gets you a discount in shops. Bronze is worth 10% off I think.

So 3 kinds of dragon tears + an idol now? Man... when I switch back to fighter + curatives things are heavy!

Bluemoon tower... you're going back there a couple of times.

So I finally let the title screen go for a bit because I had to go to the bathroom. Came back...

What. The. Fuck. :lol This is great. I finally understand what all the FLYING INTO FREEEEE stuff is.

When I do place the 20 stones, do I fight the Ur-Dragon?
Is it part of the story or is it part where I will have to face him multiple times to get any rare loot.

The ur-dragon is in one of the chambers in the everfall. You can fight him as many times as you want, it's not part of the story. His loot drops are fixed, once you've gotten them all by fighting him online, there really is no real reason to fight him online again.

It infinitely loops, as you fall through again just catch the first northern ledge and you can run on out from there.

ah good good... I was getting real careful like because it had been ages since I had been to the deposit box for my items, and I was super ridiculously heavy.

in the time since I was last at a deposit back I did that Fourneval escort quest, I felled TWO Drakes, one Hydra, two golems, three ogres, one evil eye and two Cockatrice's. I was weighed down by scales, eyes, bones, tears and detritus of every kind from around the land. All four of my guys are 'very heavy' lol

So I want to do a solo run, but with no assassin augments as I already played with assassin enough on my first playthrough. Want to just stick to one vocation; thinking about going mystic knight.

I want those Holy Cuisses and Shadow Gauntlets. Anyone on PSN down for a trade?

if i don't forget, i'll check my storage if i have them. i sold yesterday equipment for 22 Million G, although it was only things i had more than 3x.

Btw. Riza Hawkeye camped in my game at the pawnguild the whole day ;)
 
Fuck I want this game so bad. Important bills need to be paid first.

How aare the inventory and menus in this game? Is it something you can see improved if it were ported to the wii u or no? What would be on there if it were? All this wii u talk of the past week has got me thinking aabout all kinds of possibilities like this.
 
Using Portcrystals and Ferrystones, as well as skipping cutscenes made me finish the story in about 2 hours. It's a good way to get those class exclusive weapons from
the Red Dragon and they're quite powerful too.
 
Achievements in my particular game are screwed up. Helped the girl open her store, and then visited her in the store and no achievement. Changed my voctation. No achievement. Defeated the UR Dragon, no achievement. Booo Capcom, booooo.

Hell, any menu system would be leagues better on the Wii U...
A lot of people dislike the menus, and I can admit, they are a tad slow sometimes, but I love them. So many great ideas put into them. There's a lot done right and a lot that could improve.

If it were on the Wii U, the Equip menu (Select/back button) would be displayed on the tablet whilst the Start Menu would possible be on the screen. The Menus would definitely benefit from a point and click style such as a touch pad or mouse. I REALLY hope it's re-released on Wii U AND PC so I can triple-dip.
