Loving this game so far. Stoked to see you move so quickly on getting us content.

Alright, alright, alright... just started playing this morning and loving it so far. Looking forward to your content!

Cool video - some excellent advice but one comment about rotten food - it can often be combined to make something useful. For example, rotten meat and rotten spuds combines to make lamp oil (I think).

[impexxable]

We meet again! Glad to see you are playing DD2 as well. I can't wait to see more of those awesome videos.

Another way to get to high up places, is to get a fighter pawn with the springboard ability, you can just use the go command, and they'll hunch down, allowing you to walk onto the shield and get a boost up.

Here's another tip, especially for fighting drake's... if you use the mage skill "Solemnity" it actually forces the drake's to land... so you can get them over water, use the spell and they crash into the water and die. Then, the game auto-saves, you exit without saving, reload the game... and the drake is now on land accessible to loot. ;)

Another serious mistake: Not changing vocations often. Play one vocation to maybe level 5 or 6, then change to another one... try to play all of them as early as possible. Because even if you play most of them only to level 5 or 6, you'll unlock very useful augments that can be used with every vocation. Point in case: Play "Trickster" to level 2, and you'll get the "Detection" augment, which helps to detect and find treasures and seeker's tokens. You'd definitely want that! Of course at some point you'll focus on a favorite vocation, but it's definitely worth it to dip your feet into the other ones too.

Same is of course true for your pawn... As a side bonus, if you unlock useful augments for your pawn, you make it more attractive to other players to hire it.

Nizar! Youre the one that made me elden lord with your guides and now Im playing dd2 too. Thank god for these guides.

On Pawns, I just always hire Pawns that are several lvls ahead of me, so I don't have to change them out as frequently.
- If you use the Search function from the stone you can find Pawns that are close to 5-10 lvls higher than your lvl.

A little bit of conflict here in your information.

Lantern Oil. Oil can be made by only combining at least one Rotten item (shorefish, tide swimmer, scrag of beast, or rotten beast-steak). Secondary items can include rotten items (harspuds) or oily slime.

As a result you CAN let your food go bad, so long as you combine it to make the crucial lantern oil.

I’m already looking forward to all the (best) build guides, especially for the mystic spearhand! Great that you’re also playing this game

Getting the detection augment from the Trickster vocation at rank 2 will make it much easier to find wakestone shards and seeker tokens, as well as the finder token (not gonna spoil what that is). It makes all of these things light up and blink brightly, even if inside a chest and there's a beeping or chirping sound that gets louder as you get closer. Awesome for when you're looking for these things. And easy to get. Highly recommended if you don't know where to go to find the finder's token.

[christopherhill]

OMG PPL you're not forced to buy MTX the game is good DD2 is not for everyone same as DD1 what being said an updated patch fix will be nice. Sorcerer FTW❤

[noenduringcity]

OMG I didn't know golden trove beetles give a PERMANENT increase to carrying capacity!

[oneandonlycara]

Regarding food
If you have a lot of meat, wait for it to become aged and then turn it to dried meat for infinite storage time (conversion is 2 aged meat for one dried)

[Kaynos]

I remember Madeleine from the 1st game when you say gold is everywhere : "Ahaha Gold !"

[ikuokitsune]

Rotten food is used to make Lamp Oil - I'm not saying let it spoil, just saying it's not the end of the world if it does.

[OGSomeOne]

PS. There is a skill in the trickster line that pings you when a wake stone or seeker stone nearby. You do not need to break everything. Rotten food makes oil, aka tarring arrow and lamp fuel. Once you get up to 60s, you will keep pawns longer. You have to start paying more attention to them because someone may give them dragon aids in their playthrough and you can suffer for it. There is a maximum limit for the scarabs. You can only increase so much.

[thomaslehrich]

According to the loading screen tips if you use a wake Stone they fragment and scatter so you can find the three shards and recraft it.
