How I Broke Dragons Dogma 2 - A PERFECTLY BALANCED Game With No Exploits 

*1 Like = 1 Prayer To be Blessed By Todd Howard and his Dump Truck Booty*

9:46 imagine buying so many apples, that the merchant falls in love with you

Fun fact; when you take lethal damage you can eat a healing item in the split second before the death screen pops up, allowing you to simply stand back up without using a wakestone.

I got to the part of you summoning your pawn and I said out loud “it better be Todd” and my wife looked at me so confused 1:43

Being a normal medieval merchant except you can teleport is a pretty nice exploit imo

at this point all we're missing is an Isekai Spiffing Brit story where Spiff breaks every system of magic or technology or karma or whatever that world works on.

“Infinite money glitch” Literally just becomes a traveling merchant lol. That one worked pretty well irl too. Great video!

My favorite pasttime is watching Spiff absolutely annihilate every game he touches

Ahh ive heard of that fabolous weapon the Piggapult, heard it killed a dragon in one hit

If you dismis the pawns you'll get around 20 percent more xp, so not only they won't steal your kill you'll get an additional xp boost 😊

Another OP Way to Farm experience: Use Warfarer vocation Equip a Magical Bow, the Medusa Bow and the Ricochet Skill from the Magic Archer Go into a Cave, cast the Ricochet skill and switch direct to the Medusa bow. The Ricochet will probably kill everything in the cave and you will get the XP bonus from the bow. A good spot for example are the Digger's Rune south of Bakbattahl. A lot of Goblins and a Minotaur Boss.

4:37 why is there the grinch in the potatoes? xD

They’ve got PVP physics! (PIG VS PIG PHYSICS)

magic spearhands mirror shield is basically formless feint for all your party members at the same time

the "infinite money exploit" doesnt really sound like an exploit, it just sounds like you're being a merchant.

Spiff. that's not an infinite money exploit. That's literally just running an import/export business.

The Todd Howard reveal almost single-handedly made my entire day

I especially like the part where he shoots the troll in the bollocks 5 times to kill it.

The editing of this video brings me such joy and fulfillment. I love how towards the middle, spiff started to sound like a videogame character with his catch phrases.

Even better way of making money is to go to vernworth and the pawn allocation stone, do an advanced search for lvl1 pawns and then look for one that have a paw n quest for 1 arrow for 12 onyx do that until you have 99 and put them in storage, do the same but then give them to your pawn and repeat. You should have a 3 stacks of 99 onyx, each stone sells for 2800gold in vernworth.

I have never clicked on a video so fast, two of my favorite things collide. One Spiffy Brit, and Wolves Roam In Packs, Arisen!

Try Warfarer (Mystic + Magik Archer + Sorcerer) Mystic gives you melee, team invulnerability (skill 1), and downed boss crit attack, and a ranged stun/teleport/auto-crit. Sorcerer gives you Float, Stamina Regen, and "the nuke skill" Augural Flare (Skill 2) that pairs with the other two classes here. Magik Archer gives you all the ranged damage you could ever need with Sagittate Downpour (skill 3) or regular attack for the "I don't want them to die too fast." You can now handle any situation. There are other combos that also make you toddlike in entirely different ways. By design I expect. May Todd Be With You.

Hey Spiff, if you throw a pig at your pawns they will catch it and THROW IT BACK! Endless entertainment, one archer pawn played catch back and forth with me whilst making witty remarks and then threw it back and shot it while I was holding it! Very cheeky indeed.

That new editing style is great. keeps my adhd brain focused on what's going on, less likely to get distracted like i usually do

Sneaky Susan vs. Reanu Keeves. The Ultimate Battle of Ultimate Destiny.

Spiff's vision of Todd might be a bit biased

Wait till he learns about all heals, duplication, and magic archer 1 shots. With infinite money it’d beat thief.

I had some xp with Motion Capture and love DD2's seriously fluid, accurate animations and movement and fight choreography - it finally did the cinematic style of the narrative justice. Kudos to the devs. Ps. You almost saw me as Leon in these new Resident Evil games :)

You're onto something with the adjusted editing style but this may have been slightly too choppy in places

Oh dont worry Brit this will never be patched, one of the most important part of both dragon's dogma 1 and 2 is becoming absolutely OP

As soon as i see you've uploaded something, i get a cup of tea ready. Your videos make my day, thank you 😊

I was waiting for this!!! Also going to Scotland in September so looking forward to having the best tea!

I was expecting something unique coming from you Spiff!, but this just looks like a normal DD2 run!

It’s your vids that make me wanna play games outside of my normal set.

Formless Blades of the Pyre combo is basically my entire identity in this game

that passage of time sequence was as enjoyable as a fine hot cup o tea on a cold English day. nicely done!

theres a ring that makes it so you cant catch fire: combined with warfarer stam reduction augment you can just make constant explosions at no danger to yourself, without the stam drain from formless, and combined with Mystic Spearknight if you want a skill to also make you and your pawns invincible if you need it instead of formless (makes the game way way too easy but some of the bosses in unmoored are strong af if you don't use the invincibility)

The thing with Formless Feint is that if you don't realize that Blades of Pyre is a mock-up Maister Skill and that you were being played for a fool by the villagers, you would never get Formless Feint. Dragon's Dogma is very much a game you want to break. If any update/expansion to DD2 is made similarly to DD1's Dark Arisen, you'll want to be as broken as possible. Bitterblack Isle philosophy was very much "your bullshit vs their bullshit". it is legit made almost like a Spiff Certified Exploit Sandbox and besides potential tweaks, I don't think we'll see major nerfs at all because Itsuno is a madman and would rather the player have their own fun.

You did amazing videos on civ 6 and now you make a video on my fav game, the best of the best. Thank you sir spiffing brit (I bought Yorkshire tea I should have it soon can't wait to try it)

Lol the commentary on this had me laughing hard. Awesome stuff dude, will definitely try your tips. Thanks!

Not even a minute in and I'm losing it. Most hilarious character creation I've seen 😂😂

Forget breaking the game, all I care about is seeing more of that top-notching editing!

Witness the majestic Pig as it arcs toward its target. A glorious, lethal blow! *And a harbinger of things to come...*

shocked that this video didn't feature the magick archer op skill that can 1 shot everything in the game or the mystic spearhands permanent full party invincibility

Great video, but it feels distractingly overedited in my opinion, i liked how the editing was back in the ck2 era of spiff, much more chill

I love to watch spiff destroy every single game he touches while getting ready to sleep. My favourite time of the day.

The issue with the infinite money exploit is the amount of loading you have to do. The main exploity part is the instant teleport, you wouldn't be able to get from Melve to BakBattahl before the fruit rotted so you teleport to make up the difference. You need Ferrystones to do this which cost 8,000-10,000 gold each time you buy one, and every merchant only sells one so you have to wait for the store to restock before you can buy it again. SO, in order to do this you need enough ferrystones to begin with (2 is the bare minimum which is already 20k gold), two portcrystals which can take about 30 to an hour to get if you know where to go, and time. So you buy the ferrystones and apples, wait in the chair the opposite side of the store for them to ripen (takes 4-5 sit downs and you have to wait a second for the game to load the time change each time) buy a new set of fresh apples which should have restocked by now, buy those, store the ripe apples, and repeat for about 1-2 hours. The stores don't have a lot of apples to sell at once. You do this to get 400 ripe apples and then teleport to BakBattahl. Luckily one of the inns lets you take items from your storage so the sell part of the process is significantly faster, BUT you still have to take as much of the fruit as you can carry, go to the shop, sell them, go back because there's a storage limit (this part may not be true I did not personally collect a 400 apples like Spiff did), and repeat that sprint back and force for another 5 minutes. This is an exploit for sure but the time it really takes to get going you could've gotten 120k just questing and playing, so definitely a NG+ kind of thing and probably more fun (as a person who likes DD2, this is debatable) to just play the game normal.

I dare say this might be the most fun I've seen him have in one of these videos 👏😆

Medusa used an archer with soporific arrow, put her to sleep and the your theif or fighter should behead her with one hit, getting the preserved medusa head.

Just climb on medusa's head and stab it as Theif..... head cuts off one bar into her health and she's dead. You're making it tougher than it needs to be.

dont forget the xp boost from the sphinx ring, and the master ability for the mage generates a field where you have basically infinite stamina.

Great video as always, Spiff! :) The Magic Archer Martyr's Arrow can 1 shot (nearly) any enemy or boss in the game, including the final boss. Only exception are the bosses that have to be beaten in stages. (Being as vague as possible to avoid spoilers here). You should definitely have a play around with that one and see what fun you can get up to! :D

This video needs more tea :(

"She's been sneaking for the longest of times" -> Must be a Skyrim player

The music selection in this video is class!

Wait until he figures out about the mystic spearhand with the invisibility shield and that you can refresh easily. And do a ton if damage

Now go back to the first one and break it.

Gamers finding out what commerce is and calling it an exploit

You can double up on the money-making scheme, too. Battahl has figs and quince(quinces?) that sell for extra up in Vermund, so you can pick those up while in Bakbattahl, ripen them, then sell them while you're restocking your apple and grape stock while back in Vermund. No wasted trips!

The editing making it look like a heist was amazing for some reason

Anyone else miss when spiff actually BROKE and GLITCHED games? This is admittedly kinda cool but honestly low tier. Its basically a showcase of game knowledge more than anything. The only thing in this video that could possibly be not intended gameplay is the blades of the pyre not hurting if you have formless feint active. The game outright tells you that you can get more money selling things in other regions and the "exp exploit" is basically just more efficient grinding techniques.

Spiff invents capitalism and calls it breaking the game lol

Love the new editing style!

hahaha, the new cuts are even better... It's great work and a lot of fun to watch...

You can do the fruit selling in both directions. If you pick up the local fruit (figs and quinces) you can sell them back in Vermund for the same markup as the apples in grapes in Battahl. Gets you more profit per Ferrystone round trip.

Reminds me of the Vlad Taltos book series where teleportation magic is starting to become common in a fantasy setting. The protagonist uses it for adventures, but the big impact it's making on the setting is economical.

The most broken combo though is: - Unlock Sorcerer, Magick Archer and Warfarer - Play as Warfarer - Learn Sorcerer's Augural Flare - Learn Magick Archer's Sagittate Avalanche - Cast Augural Flare - Spam normal shots and Sagittate Avalanche - Melt bosses in seconds And if you want kill the Medusa very fast to get her Preserved Head and easy EXP, you also need Warfarer and Magick Archer: - Learn Magick Archer's Soporific Bolt - Use Soporific Bolt on the Medusa (it might take between 2 to 4 shots) - Once she falls asleep, swap to any weapon that deals slash damage - Attack her head, which will instantly decapitate her

I was just thinking that you should make a dragon’s dogma vid, and now you have it! 😂

Spiff, don't forget to use allcure magic archer build where you can charge up your deadly super ability that one shots based off of hp consumed (it's %) then pop a fullcure recover your hp loss gauge, then do it again, if you mess up just wakestone and repeat till everything in the game dies (this can 1 cast most bosses sub 700 magic attack stat going over this lets you 1 cast even the strongest things in the game besides invulnerability state ones) Also Allheals Elixirs can be forged and the forgeries turn into the normal ones as of current!

damn, i love that 8min+ editing, it has a wierd documenatry? National Geographic? something like that vibe, i can't quite put my finger on it, but it sure was entertaining format

The travel montage might be my favorite bit from Spiff

This is the one game that absolutely does not need a video on how to break the game.

Just in time for a spot of tea

The thief also has an early insta-kill. If you use the smoke bomb, the small enemies inside become assassination targets and you can one hit all of them with the heavy regular attack. Smoke bomb also makes it easier to use the plunder ability.

I’m pretty sure the fruit selling for more is an intended mechanic. If you take any fruit from one region to another one further away, it’ll sell for more. So if you want to maximize profits, when you sell your apples and grapes in Bakbathal, buy some figs and quince and take it back to Melve to sell there. Plus, you gotta factor in that every teleport effectively costs you 10,000g; so 20k round trip. That really eats into your profits, and because of that I don’t really foresee them patching this “exploit.”

I like your style mate. Very entertaining 👌

I loved the new editing!

OMG just wanted to see a video of yours after starting dragons dogma the other day. Praise the gods

Mr. Spiffing Brit, I am pleased to inform you that for the low low price of 1 skill (and some loss in stats) slot you can in fact combine your glorious Damage per second with your excellent exp gains by unlocking the warfarer class. It's master skill (unlocked upon class gain) allows you to swap between weapons and equip any armor set. The only drawback is you effectively only have 3 skill slots with every skill you know to choose from and that in order to use said skills you must have the corresponding class weapon equipped. Have fun with this information. Thank you for this gem of a video. Have a good day Trace Oran

Yo, this is like one of my favorite games. I think I’ve ever played. Can you keep making more please

1:00 SneakySusan is so sneaky that death "literally" can't find her.

4:37 lol Grinch potato

The resemblance is uncanny to actual Todd Howard. Amazing video as always. Hope you have Let's Game It Out back soon.

Thank you. I have been waiting for your method before getting the game.

I don't know who your new video editor is, but I like their style. 😎

2 more things to add to this build that I happened to do: Pick up Voracity from Magic archer to restore stamina from kills, keeps you dodging and exploding longer Teach a pawn or get one with Celestial Paean: Unlimited stamina. Spam explosions to your hearts content. Add this with haste and youre having a great time.

I like how you rolled with Todd Howard from the jump 😂

4:37 Grinch Potato!

So I see Spiff is learning from Americans that explosions are fun and good and is combining it with British exploits, it's a beautiful combination

I was crossing my toes that you would make a dragons dogma 2 video !

that was highly entrertaining, loved the country music part

Someone gifted my pawn the medusan spellbow, no clue why but I was definitely thankful. At first I thought maybe they just didn't notice, but I later realized that when you try to give gear to someone else's pawn, a message pops up alerting you that once gifted you can't get it back.

I'm only 30 seconds in and the editing ao far is 🔥🔥🔥

@thespiffingbrit I noticed a "bug" where if you are hit to zero life, but open the menu before the death animation completes itself, you can use curatives, and functionally revive yourself.

amazing video! but this is the first time Ive had my casual playthrough character WAY more over powered then yours at the same point in the main story XD kind of a personal achievement for me now

[PS5] Utilizing cloud save feature allows sending pawns 10+ eternal bond rings in under 10 minutes, reloading your cloud save to keep your items. Eternal Bond rings sell for 40,000 gold each. Around 400k every 10 minutes sending your friends’ pawns these rings.

If you’re willing to go through a bit of extra work, there’s an item you get from the Sphinx’s trials that engances EXP gain even more

That bow reminds me of how I used to sneak a little "shl eax,6" in some particulary grindy games.

I laughed so hard at Todd begin summoned. This is why you are the best Spiff!!!

I'm just glad there's a game out there for a sneaky magic thief archer.
