How many levels are there in DD2?
Maximum character level in Dragon's Dogma 2 – 999. The level limit applies to both the Risen and his pawns. It is almost impossible to reach such heights; this will require about 5-6 playthroughs with complete clearing, since in the first run it will only be possible to raise 200 lvl.
How to level up quickly in Dragon's Dogma 2
There are several ways to quickly raise your level: some of them can be called ive, since your level is pumped up simply during the game, while others require special attention.
Complete main and side quests
A great way to gain experience - complete all quests, which meet on the path of the Risen. If you have to complete the story missions anyway, some side missions are easy to miss. The main quests give the most XP, but there are quite a few side quests that will also give you a decent amount of XP. To complete some of them you won’t even need to deviate from the story path, for example, "Monster Cleanup".
Destroy powerful opponents and groups of enemies
While exploring the open world, in any case, you will encounter groups of monsters who want to attack travelers. This applies to both walking and traveling by cart. Often you have to fight with crowds of weak mobs, be sure to accept the battle: destroying 10 light goblins is equivalent to defeating a huge Cyclops.
Of special note are powerful opponents who are also randomly encountered in the open world: cyclops, huge orcs, griffins, minotaurs and many others. Large monsters have more than one health scale and are considered mini-bosses. Defeating them is much more difficult, but you will gain much more experience.
Relax by the fire
Traveling through the open world, you will be able to meet campsites. It is recommended that when you first visit Melwe or Wernworth, you go to the pharmacy and buy a backpack; you can also purchase it from traveling merchants.
With the help of such a backpack, you can create a parking place where you can sleep in order to restore health and allow all the monsters in the area to respawn, or cook food - it will allow you to gain more experience. It is worth noting that monsters have random respawn timers, so their appearance after rest is not guaranteed.
Use pawns with AoE damage
Having complete power over pawns and the ability to hire and fire any companions, for leveling up it is better to choose enemies with skills that deal area damage. This will make it easier to enter into any battles and exit them with the maximum number of creatures destroyed.
Kill the dragon
If you want to quickly get a huge amount of experience, a free awakening stone and a bunch of useful things, go to the Ancient Battlefield, located north of Border Town. Climb the fortress walls and use one of the two giant ballistasto shoot the creature.
When the dragon starts attacking, retreat and use the smaller ballista on the western path near the bonfire. Lure the winged one away, then return to the castle and destroy the dragon. In addition, with proper leveling, you can take a risk and try to kill a monster in the open world, without ballistas.
The best place to farm experience in Dragon's Dogma 2
The best place to farm experience is a bonfire nearby Border town. A large number of monsters live here, giving a lot of XP, in addition, you can always set up a camp, restore health and allow enemies to appear again.
There is a settlement nearby where you can level up, sell items and purchase consumables.
In the west of Vernworth, head to the cart stop. At the camp, talk to the NPC and pay 200 gold for a trip to the Border Town. Having reached your destination, go back across the bridge, after which go down to the water. Follow the stream under the bridge.
Enter the cave and stay to the right until you are outside. Along the way you can meet stone lizards. Cross the fallen tree, then turn right - beware of rolling lizards. Move into the gorge, cross the bridge and find yourself in the right place. In this location you will find:
- Cyclops - 2 experience.
- Minotaur – 3 experience.
- Chimera - 5 experience.
Which pawns to take for fast experience farming
Choosing pawns, of course, you should rely on the style of play and the composition of the squad, but if you want to quickly raise the level, it is recommended to take companions with specific classes.
Mage
For the main pawn that constantly accompanies the Risen, it is best to choose a vocation mage. Thanks to various skills, the companion will be able to enchant the weapons of his teammates, increase the attack speed, create clots of energy to protect against enemy attacks, and help in every possible way in battle. The main features of the class are protection, buffs and AoE damage, which is ideal for fast farming.
Wizard
After completing the side quest "A Desperate Search for a Calling", you will be able to choose sorcerer pawn, or change the main class. It is important to find a companion who has skills with AoE damage. In this way, you will be able to quickly deal with crowds of enemies, gaining a lot of experience, and also stun large opponents to make it easier to destroy them.
Martial Artist
The Warrior is an excellent choice to ensure the safety of the Risen. Due to its skills, the pawn will attract the attention of opponents to itself, provoke them, tank damage and independently inflict a ton of damage. Otherwise, the warrior is an extremely versatile companion, suitable also for active farming.
