Dragon’s Dogma 2 has launched to glowing reviews,including our own Jez Corden.
What makesDragon’s Dogma 2special is that it frequently touts its refusal to hold your hand.
Hail!
Where do you first meet Maister Siguard?
The first time you meet Sigurd, the Mystic Spearhand maister, he’s in Melve.
A dragon is attacking the town, and you must help defend against it.
Hail!
Speak with him after the fight to earn theMystic Spearhand vocation.
I recommend at least a level of 20, if not level 30.
Starting in Bakbattahl, exit the western gate.
Get ready for the best arena battle mid-game.
Take the southern route and head down the path.
As you embark on this journey, remember that the key to success lies in minimizing damage.
This route is teeming with enemies, including multiple boss creatures.

So, heed this warning and tread carefully.
As you progress, you’ll encounter the first significant enemy, a challenging wolf creature.
While it may not have a boss health bar, it feels like one!

Like many enemies on this trail, the wolf is weak to fire.
If you haven’t figured it out, it’s Medusa.
Skip for now; come back later.

I didn’t ask to get on this Harpie ride.
It doesn’t look like it, but I can assure you I am hitting something!
Light ‘em if ya got ‘em.
Reminds me of Gmork from Never Ending Story.
Trolls are dumb in the game and on X, evade them by running away.
Continue while being careful of your surroundings.
Take each group on methodically, one at a time.

At some point, you’ll see a troll or two.
The dragon fight
Once you’ve arrived, camp.
You’ll need it.

There’s a small campsite at the foot of the tower.
Once rested, head toward the gate, where a red dragon will appear from the tower.
At that moment, Sigurd will join in and ask to best the dragon with the Arisen.

In one of my runs, a Griffin spawned here!
Undead enemies will line your path up the staircase.
On your way, more enemies will get in your crosshairs.

Once you’ve reached the top, the battle with the dragon begins.
Mind you, this is the same dragon you faced off against in Melve when you first met Sigurd.
Don’t take the enemy head-on; instead, use your shield ability to protect the party.
GG EZ NO RE
Target the pustules protruding from the side; these are weak points.
Don’t give up on them until they pop.
The dragon may drop a level or two during the fight and may also take off into the sky.

It won’t retreat for long and will eventually come back down.
However, it’s crucial that you be careful.
If you’re playing as the Mystic Spearhand, jump on his body to attack the pimples.
