In the guide we will explain how to unlock the Mystic Spearman vocation in DD2, talk about the features of the class and how to play for it. Let's look at who Sigurd is, where to find him and how he is connected to this specialization.
Features of the Mystic Spearman class
The spearman class is completely balanced vocation, combining several basic qualities. This specialization includes , defense, mobility, enemy control - the Mystic Spearman fights at different distances, dealing physical and magical damage at the same time. The weapon of this class is the glaive.
A hero with such a calling will be a little good at everything, but will not stand out more than other archetypes in anything specific. This class can be called the strongest or at least one of them. The spearman's skills include heavy attacks, skills for closing the distance in battle and getting closer to opponents, as well as spells that control enemies and protect allies.

Where to find Sigurd
Sigurd in Dragon's Dogma 2 is a man with a glaive on his back and a hood on his head. It will help you unlock the spearman and is gradually encountered in several locations, depending on your progress in the story.
To be able to meet Sigurd, first complete the story quest "Throne of the Lord" along with one of the orders from Brant, which includes the following quests: "Disa's Intrigues".
Впервые Sigurd appears in Melve after the settlement is attacked by a dragon and the Risen takes direct part in this during the quest
During the battle you will be able to pick up the powerful glaive “Dead Ringer”, which can be earned in two ways. The easiest way is to burst all the abscesses on the dragon’s body, which is quite possible if you focus on them.
Another option is to kill the monster in about 3 hits from the ballista. This is a rather difficult task, since it takes a very long time to adjust, and the time spent on this or if you miss, the creature can fly away alive. For the death of the dragon, earn the learning of the special skill “Wild Wrath”.
If you haven’t earned the weapon, you can buy it for 56 gold from Beatrice in the camp on the Volcanic Island of Agamen, or pick it up after killing the monster in the Dragon Breath Tower, in which you will meet Sigurd for the third time. You will get an alternative strong glaive “Hell Blade” (with fire damage) as part of the quest "For whom the Bell Tolls" for using the Key from the Ancient Battlefield.
After defeating the formidable monster, talk to the NPC nearby to unlock the calling. If for some reason you didn’t do this right away, then use the cart to move from Vernworth to Melve so as not to waste too much time.
Second meeting will happen to Sigurd in a coastal village Harv, related to the assignments “Cleaning up the monsters” and "Trouble on the Cape".
The destroyed settlement is located west of Vernworth and is restored approximately 2-3 days after completing the quest "Scaly Invaders". It is after this that in the east of Harv you will see Sigurd in Coastal hut.
The third time Sigurd will arrive in the kingdom Battal. Go to Dragon's Breath Tower, located in a southeast direction from the capital called Bakbattal. Sigurd will stand at the foot of the building and ask for help in defeating the next dragon. For such a feat, you can receive an ultimate ability from the maester if you were previously unable to defeat the monster in Melva.
After the true ending, you will be able to meet Sigurd one more time, namely in Temple of the Seabed.
If can't find Sigurd and, at the same time, took part in the killing of the dragon in Melva, then the character could die. In this case, you will have to go to morgue and resurrect him. One of the Funeral Homes is located in Wernworth, in the Nobles' Quarter. The crypt is easily identified by the coffin-shaped icon on the map.
How to play the Mystic Spearman in DD2
The Mystic Spearman's specialization is not included in the list of regular classes, so we will share some tips on how to play this calling.
- Basically use it basic attacks, since they will be the main and biggest source of damage.
- Use the Mirror Armor spell with an overlay barrier on all characters around - this will protect even NPCs, and not just pawns.
- Follow the indicator staminaso that it doesn't go too low. Don't rely too much on abilities, don't forget about normal dodging and running, and use Thief's Hand when necessary.
- The spearman fights partly in close combat, but does not serve as a tank, so it’s worth positioning yourself correctly in battle and ing jerks (“Combat Acceleration/Lunge”) and teleportation. Don't neglect health potions against dangerous enemies and don't take damage instead of a tank fighter.
- By means of telekinesis throw opponents or objects at them, and stun their electricity.
- Focus on these Parameterslike strength, endurance and health.
- One of the best squad compositions for the spearman - a fighter (as a tank), a mage (for healing and ) and a sorcerer/fighter/warrior/archer (another tank or source of physical or magical damage, depending on the play style).
- Don't forget about amplifiers other classes, for example, about increasing endurance from an archer (“Toughening”), increasing strength from a thief (“Ardentness”) and physical protection from a fighter (“Fortitude”).
