(+) Yeah! (+)

I heard height and weight are a deciding factor. I played a good chunk for the xbox 360 but restating on the one. Really want to sink my teeth in this one again.

Wolves hunt in packs

yeah, being a big giant weirdo gives you more carrying capacity

safety in numbers, arisen

Goblins ill like fire!

Don't get sucked into min maxing or else you'll be playing a vocation strictly for stat gains just so the numbers of your desired endgame vocation are higher

Port crystals are your friend

Always carry oil in inventory

Don't skip side quests as some become unavailable after certain main quest missions

Rusted daggers are op

Master works all you can't go wrong.

Stray from the roads and you'll soon find monsters Arisen.

Castle walls or the ruins of such?

The road splits here lets be doubly sure of which will see us to our destination.

Tis weak to fire!

The heart Arisen! Go for the heart.

Wolves hunt in packs.

As you can see I have been playing it too long. I played it everyday for year straight back on Xbox 360 putting in over 2100hours running through it 24 times across 2 Xbox Live accounts.

I am currently replaying this on Xbox One and I am currently on my 5th run through and have already put in another 343 hours into it.

The best advice I can give is that if you are looking for carry weight build a tall musculature character.

Also once you get it keep the eternal ferrystone on you at all times.

Oh and if anybody has played this on Xbox One I am currently in the need of a Vile Wakestone and and a broken scythe. Gamertag is in my sig Pawn name Lara (Strider).

Arisen's bond should be given to Feste.

Have a mage pawn (you could do sorcerer instead but they can't heal you). Having a healer is always handy, and by having your own pawn as one of those 2, you can choose what spells you want them to have instead of having to cycle through other players pawns trying to find the spell set up you want.

It seems that all roads lead to Gran Soren.

Animal dung, a deer, perhaps?

Ice is bane to Goblins.

Now Arisen! Strike its eye!

I agree with Northlane about not worrying about minmaxing. There are a lot of guides there but you'll get by in the game even if you totally mess up your stat distributions. Only thing you'll be missing out on is that you won't kill things as fast as if you minmaxed but this is a strictly single player game so nobody is gonna get on you for slightly slower kill times.

That being said, definitely try out the different classes. For me, Rogue/Archer classes and their class evolutions (especially Magic Archer) were super fun. Magic Knight was also super cool. Other magic classes are also cool but I didn't like being so passive and waiting to cast when there was so much fun and chaos on the battlefield to be actively part of, but that's just me.

Play as a Sorcerer, level your Vocation up until you learn High Maelstrom, find an area with tons of Goblins and Hobgoblins.

Unleash your powerful Tornado of Certain Doom and listen to the cries of Goblins and Hobgoblins as they are juggled into oblivion.

Goblins fear fire.

That is also great advice.

But you have left out that Anodyne (healing) magic only heals as far as the grey part of your life bar meaning that if you have taken a lot of damage you will still need curatives to get back to full health.

I would also suggest having a Mage Pawn with a Boon/Affinity as one of their moves.

I hate normal enchanted weapons as I prefer strength weapons (I play as a Fighter Arisen) but I love it when my hired Mage Pawn puts either fire, ice, electric or holly (she has all those) on to my Dragon's Dogma sword. It is great having the strength of my Dragon's Dogma sword and being able to set things on fire or freeze them with it and being able to destroy the little ghosts when I have Holly on it.

Here is another bit of advice for you. When you are near a rift stone go in and then go straight back out of it as doing so will give you a checkpoint save which is a lot better than manual saving on the save screen.

Pick Assassin, grab monster, mash til it's dead. Bring a healer if you have to.

Forgot about that. Still nice to have a healer though so you don't burn through curatives as fast.

you should probably look up which quests are time sensitive, since you said you wanted to dig in. really the only major gripe i have with the game is how obfuscated and cryptic some of the quests are.

also i have no idea why you can't lock on to enemies

Play the remastered version

don't go in the sewer tbh

venture into bitter black isle early on. you can gain a lot of levels fast and some of the best equipment are dropped there.

The stats your Arisen and Pawn each get upon level up are determined by their currently equipped vocation(class) at the time. The amount of stat points received also changes depending on that character's level range.

Don't let your Arisen or Pawn level up past Level 10 with the initial Mage vocation on them because the stat gains it gives past Level 10 are worse than the other vocations and it will result in your Arisen or Pawn being weaker stat wise in the end. So if you chose Mage for your Arisen or Pawn make sure you get to Gran Soren before then so you can upgrade to Sorceror if you still want to use a magic based class.
