  • Dragons Dogma 2 Has finally released and taken the internet by storm. By storm I of course mean it has destroyed all rational discourse over video games and DLC micro transactions. My goal today is simple! I must discover if Dragons Dogma 2 Is A Perfectly balanced game with no bugs, glitches and exploits. Or if perhaps the developers left in overpowered abilities, broken features and infinite gold!
    What you have seen here today is part of a fantastic perfectly balanced series on youtube where I go from game to game and break them with wacky exploits to gain things like unlimited gold. If you enjoyed this then be sure to check out more. The style is similar to RT game and callmekevin in parts. A large influence on this series has come from Valefisk and The Killian Experience.

      It’s nowhere near as easy as you’re making it sound. You need to spam it as soon as your health decreases. Not before the game over screen.
      Edit: it’s literally not possible to heal before the game over screen, you need to heal before the damage has registered right at the instant your health decreases.

    Another OP Way to Farm experience:
    Use Warfarer vocation
    Equip a Magical Bow, the Medusa Bow and the Ricochet Skill from the Magic Archer
    Go into a Cave, cast the Ricochet skill and switch direct to the Medusa bow.
    The Ricochet will probably kill everything in the cave and you will get the XP bonus from the bow.
    A good spot for example are the Digger's Rune south of Bakbattahl. A lot of Goblins and a Minotaur Boss.

    Sorcerer gives you Float, Stamina Regen, and "the nuke skill" Augural Flare (Skill 2) that pairs with the other two classes here.
    Magik Archer gives you all the ranged damage you could ever need with Sagittate Downpour (skill 3) or regular attack for the "I don't want them to die too fast."
    You can now handle any situation.

      It was a little choppy right before he took that seat to wait and pass time, I imagine it's the game's code breaking down. Either that, or the game isn't fully optimized. I mean, Spiff has to record and also play at the same time, that's...a lot of computer power, which I don't doubt he has, but there's just a limit to some games. Maybe it's lagging because of all the items? I haven't played the game yet, so I'm not sure.
      First time I've seen a thief actually be a tank and a dps--well, outside of Elder Scrolls Online. That game I stopped enjoying, because you just keep leveling until like 1600 or so, which makes most dungeons broken AF, with even a pathetic thief.

    The thing with Formless Feint is that if you don't realize that Blades of Pyre is a mock-up Maister Skill and that you were being played for a fool by the villagers, you would never get Formless Feint.
    Dragon's Dogma is very much a game you want to break. If any update/expansion to DD2 is made similarly to DD1's Dark Arisen, you'll want to be as broken as possible. Bitterblack Isle philosophy was very much "your bullshit vs their bullshit".
    it is legit made almost like a Spiff Certified Exploit Sandbox and besides potential tweaks, I don't think we'll see major nerfs at all because Itsuno is a madman and would rather the player have their own fun.

  • @boltfantasticated9705
    @boltfantasticated9705 Před 4 dny +1

    The issue with the infinite money exploit is the amount of loading you have to do.
    The main exploity part is the instant teleport, you wouldn't be able to get from Melve to BakBattahl before the fruit rotted so you teleport to make up the difference. You need Ferrystones to do this which cost 8,000-10,000 gold each time you buy one, and every merchant only sells one so you have to wait for the store to restock before you can buy it again.
    SO, in order to do this you need enough ferrystones to begin with (2 is the bare minimum which is already 20k gold), two portcrystals which can take about 30 to an hour to get if you know where to go, and time.
    So you buy the ferrystones and apples, wait in the chair the opposite side of the store for them to ripen (takes 4-5 sit downs and you have to wait a second for the game to load the time change each time) buy a new set of fresh apples which should have restocked by now, buy those, store the ripe apples, and repeat for about 1-2 hours. The stores don't have a lot of apples to sell at once. You do this to get 400 ripe apples and then teleport to BakBattahl. Luckily one of the inns lets you take items from your storage so the sell part of the process is significantly faster, BUT you still have to take as much of the fruit as you can carry, go to the shop, sell them, go back because there's a storage limit (this part may not be true I did not personally collect a 400 apples like Spiff did), and repeat that sprint back and force for another 5 minutes.
    This is an exploit for sure but the time it really takes to get going you could've gotten 120k just questing and playing, so definitely a NG+ kind of thing and probably more fun (as a person who likes DD2, this is debatable) to just play the game normal.

    theres a ring that makes it so you cant catch fire: combined with warfarer stam reduction augment you can just make constant explosions at no danger to yourself, without the stam drain from formless, and combined with Mystic Spearknight if you want a skill to also make you and your pawns invincible if you need it instead of formless (makes the game way way too easy but some of the bosses in unmoored are strong af if you don't use the invincibility)

    The most broken combo though is:

    - Learn Sorcerer's Augural Flare
    - Learn Magick Archer's Sagittate Avalanche
    - Cast Augural Flare
    - Spam normal shots and Sagittate Avalanche
    - Melt bosses in seconds
    And if you want kill the Medusa very fast to get her Preserved Head and easy EXP, you also need Warfarer and Magick Archer:
    - Learn Magick Archer's Soporific Bolt
    - Use Soporific Bolt on the Medusa (it might take between 2 to 4 shots)
    - Once she falls asleep, swap to any weapon that deals slash damage
    - Attack her head, which will instantly decapitate her

    Anyone else miss when spiff actually BROKE and GLITCHED games? This is admittedly kinda cool but honestly low tier. Its basically a showcase of game knowledge more than anything. The only thing in this video that could possibly be not intended gameplay is the blades of the pyre not hurting if you have formless feint active. The game outright tells you that you can get more money selling things in other regions and the "exp exploit" is basically just more efficient grinding techniques.

    Mr. Spiffing Brit,
    I am pleased to inform you that for the low low price of 1 skill (and some loss in stats) slot you can in fact combine your glorious Damage per second with your excellent exp gains by unlocking the warfarer class. It's master skill (unlocked upon class gain) allows you to swap between weapons and equip any armor set. The only drawback is you effectively only have 3 skill slots with every skill you know to choose from and that in order to use said skills you must have the corresponding class weapon equipped.
    Have fun with this information. Thank you for this gem of a video.
    Have a good day

  • @Poisonjam7

    I’m pretty sure the fruit selling for more is an intended mechanic. If you take any fruit from one region to another one further away, it’ll sell for more.
    So if you want to maximize profits, when you sell your apples and grapes in Bakbathal, buy some figs and quince and take it back to Melve to sell there.
    Plus, you gotta factor in that every teleport effectively costs you 10,000g; so 20k round trip. That really eats into your profits, and because of that I don’t really foresee them patching this “exploit.”

    • @Poisonjam7
      @Poisonjam7 Před 27 dny

      But they’re absolutely going to nerf Formless Faint. That ability is absolutely broken in its current state. Really, it’s broken on a fundamental level.
      My guess would be they’re either going to add a cooldown or duration limit, drastically increase the stamina drain when active, or make it so it only has a CHANCE of avoiding attacks, or possibly even all of the above. Either way, Formless Faint is screwed. 😅

By the time I get there the food is ready to sell. After selling it I dismiss the pawns to their "new life." Once I figure out how to reliably get dragonsplague, the game will evolve into plague Inc. ^-^ love your content sir!
