In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses pawn specializations and inclinations in the game *Dragon’s Dogma 2*. Specializations provide pawns with passive skills and attitudes, with six options available including Woodland Wordsmith, Forager, Logistician, Hawker, Kyurin, and Alanite, each offering unique benefits. Players can change pawn inclinations using incense from the rift store and should prioritize balanced inclinations to ensure pawn’s survival in battle.
The video also covers the importance of managing game saves. Players can reload from their last rest at an inn or save point, with auto-saves occurring frequently. However, to avoid losing significant progress if a quest is failed, it’s recommended to rest at inns periodically despite the gold cost.
Furthermore, camping is highlighted as crucial for resting, healing, and changing skills while exploring in the game, providing buffs and other benefits. Players are advised to manage their equipment weight carefully by storing excess items in storage when in town, as heavy gear slows movement and increases stamina usage, complicating travel and combat.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses strategies for managing inventory weight efficiently in the game. Key tips include combining materials to free up space and prevent food from spoiling by making dry versions. Players are advised to use the Ring of AC cruor early on to increase carry weight, and to consider playing as a fighter temporarily for a 10 kg carry weight augment. Golden Trove beetles, which permanently boost carry weight by 0.15 kg, should be sought out, particularly at night.
The video also addresses the unique quest system in Dragon’s Dogma 2, emphasizing the importance of speaking with NPCs and exploring, as quests aren’t marked on a board or map. To progress stalled quests, players can change quests, rest at inns, fast travel, or use pawns with quest knowledge. The video warns that some quests have time constraints and multiple quests may need to be tackled simultaneously.
Regarding escort quests, it suggests using quick travel, inns, or carrying NPCs to maximize affinity, and using wake stones if necessary. The importance of planning routes using ox carts is also highlighted. Finally, a vital tip is given for completing a specific quest for Glendor in Wenworth early, as an Archer vocation, to unlock more quests.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the importance of completing an early game quest as the Archer vocation, which unlocks another quest called the Trial of Archery, rewarding you with a valuable port crystal. The video emphasizes the flexibility of switching vocations at the vocation Guild without penalties, allowing you to keep your progress. Defeating enemies as any vocation helps unlock more skills and augments, and discipline earned can be used on any vocation skills. You can change skills and augments at the vocation Guild or camps but must change vocations in town. As the game progresses, more vocations become available, with specific mention of Sorcerer, Warrior, Mystic spear hand, Trickster, Magic Archer, and Warfare.
Gear management is crucial; always check merchants for upgrades and avoid outfitting hired pawns as the gear is lost upon changing them. Key locations like Burnworth and the checkpoint rest town offer good gear, with Sacred Arbor specializing in mage, sorcerer, and magic gear. Upgrading gear through gold and materials is stressed, with specific upgrade styles available in different locations. The video recommends against selling upgrade materials, instead storing them for future use. Lastly, the simplicity of combat is noted with four skills, basic, and heavy attacks available for most vocations.

In this segment, the speaker emphasizes the importance of stamina management for all character classes, including Mages and Sorcerers, to avoid vulnerability during combat. Commands can be given to Pawns for assistance when stamina is low, for healing, or if incapacitated. Consumable items can heal, but only up to the ‘grey bar’ portion of health, necessitating rest to fully recover, thus making inns and camps valuable. Pawns can also be directed to wait or engage in combat.
The video discusses the consequences of dying, including the options to reload the last save or inn rest, the latter of which can be time-consuming. Each reload reduces maximum health, potentially forcing players to rest. Wake Stones can revive players at full health but are rare and should be used judiciously. The Dragon’s Gaze item helps locate Wake Stone shards.
Fast travel is explained via two methods: Ox carts, which are not always reliable but save time, and Fairy Stones, a consumable that teleports players to locations with port crystals. These stones are scarce and costly but worthwhile to save travel time. The segment concludes with a summary of essential tips for beginners in Dragon’s Dogma 2.
