New Patch Improvements
The latest patch in Dragon’s Dogma 2 introduces some gameplay improvements, including quality of life updates and changes to pawns. However, pawns are still throwing themselves off ledges randomly, as shown in a classic clip posted by decoy shark on Reddit.
Changes to Pawn Inclinations
With the new patch, players can now change their Pawn inclinations at the Pawn Guild for a significantly reduced cost of 750 RC. Previously, it was too expensive to utilize this feature in the early game, but now it’s more accessible. Inclinations can cause interesting behaviors in Pawns, and straightforward inclinations have unique dialogue interactions.
The Power of Meridin
Meridin, the sorcerer master in Dragon’s Dogma 2, is a powerful ally to have. By raising your affinity with him, he offers escort quests where he joins your party and provides strong support. He has a unique version of the Maelstrom spell that can instantly defeat enemies, as demonstrated in a Reddit post by constant Wolverine 1. Meridin’s character is inspired by the mythical Mage, Merlin, from The Legend of King Arthur.
A Useful Trick in New Game Plus
In new game plus playthroughs, there’s a handy trick to bypass specific time requirements for NPC interactions. Instead of waiting for the designated time, you can physically move the NPCs to the required location, even if it’s daytime. This trick works for NPCs like Captain Bran and the beggar in a side quest.
The Meat Taunt Mechanic
A lesser-known mechanic in Dragon’s Dogma 2 is the ability to drop meat near enemies, causing them to be drawn to it and become distracted. This can be especially useful in combat, as the enemies won’t fight back while they’re eating the meat. Rotten meat is particularly effective for this tactic. It’s a handy trick that many players may not be aware of.
