00:00Dragon's Dogma 2 is an epic action-RPG that breathes fresh, fiery life into the series.
00:18New maps and biomes, seamless exploration of its mighty environment, and a gripping
00:24story. It's also a game that celebrates choice. You'll have seen our fans creating
00:29their arisen heroes, right down to the layout of their teeth. And that sense of freedom
00:34extends to your adventure. There are multiple ways to solve the same problem. No two fights
00:40are ever the same. Let's look at the different ways you can play Dragon's Dogma 2.
00:47While this is still the same game you know and adore, combat here does feel different.
00:52You can charge in for a fight or leap heroically from high places to mount lumbering monsters.
00:57But Dragon's Dogma 2 rewards lateral thinking. Enemies can be engaged from afar by making
01:02use of the powerful siege engines that litter the lands of Amund and Batal. The environment
01:08itself can be a weapon. Instead of engaging all those enemies on a bridge, you can just
01:13cut it out from underneath them and watch them fall to their doom instead. And while
01:17it might not be a considerate choice for the surrounding environment, you can even destroy
01:22dams to wash away potential foes without needing to draw your sword.
01:26Opportunities for deadly improvisation are everywhere in Dragon's Dogma 2. If you can't
01:31find a catapult, you can just fling the rocks yourself. And if you can't find rocks, well,
01:38there's always something else you can throw.
01:44The world of Dragon's Dogma 2 is larger and more dense than its predecessor. Discovering
01:49it with your hearty pawn companions is a large part of the appeal.
01:55Ox carts can help you traverse the world. But be warned, it's not always a safe way
02:01to travel. Enemies can ambush you on the road. Getting your boots on the ground also reveals
02:07multiple ways to circumvent problems.
02:09If you find your progress impeded by an impassable crevasse, for example, you have loads of options.
02:15You can use magic to levitate across, lure down a harpy and hitch a lift from its razor-sharp
02:20talons, or use the Mystic Spearhand's warp ability to effortlessly bridge the gap.
02:26And if you want to find a more ghoulish solution, why not turn the fallen body of an enemy into
02:31a makeshift bridge?
02:38The enemy AI in Dragon's Dogma 2 ensures that every encounter is different. As you'd expect
02:44from someone who turns their enemies into bridges, the creatures of Dragon's Dogma 2
02:48will come to know and fear you. If a fight goes wrong, they might flee, instead of risk
02:53being repurposed as high-fantasy infrastructure.
02:57Enemies will also fight each other. One moment you're cheerfully making your way towards
03:01a quest, and the next you're in the middle of a pitched battle between rival creatures.
03:06You can choose to intervene, use the distraction to escape, or just sit back and enjoy the
03:11chaos.
03:13The monsters here function like living creatures, each with their own, often angry, motivations.
03:19And you should remember that just because an enemy ran away from you, it won't stop
03:22them coming back for revenge later when you least expect it.
03:27Finally, we have the quests themselves. While there's always a direct, heroic way to solve
03:33problems in Dragon's Dogma 2, you can make your life easier by thinking creatively. Instead
03:39of spending time and gold retrieving that precious gemstone you were asked to find,
03:43why not just pay someone to make a forgery instead? Problem solved, and you're supporting
03:49the local economy.
03:54And remember that appearance is everything. You can disguise yourself as another race,
03:59for example, to gain entry to restricted cities.
04:06Uncertain places can only be accessed if you're wearing the correct attire.
04:10Yeah, well, let's see how you'd look after hours of riding harpies across gaps. Rude.
04:22So there you go. It's not just about the joy of killing monsters or exploring the world,
04:27but finding inventive ways to do so. Think fondly of us when you make your first monster
04:32bridge.
04:35See you next time, monster!
