State of Play Trailer Reveals Dragon’s Dogma 2’s Impressive Warfarer Vocation

Greetings, Playstation Blog readers! Today, we have some thrilling news to share with you regarding Dragon’s Dogma 2, which was launched during State of Play. In this article, we will delve deeper into the exciting details revealed in the latest trailer, including the introduction of the Warfarer vocation, the intriguing vocation maisters, and the mysterious dragonsplague.

Let’s kick things off by introducing the Warfarer vocation. As the Arisen, the main character, you will have the opportunity to wield a greatsword, harness high-level magick, and even deceive your enemies with illusions. The Warfarer is a unique vocation that allows you to seamlessly switch between the weapons of other vocations during combat. Considered the “ultimate vocation,” the Warfarer grants you access to all weapon types and core skills from various vocations. This versatility allows you to adapt to any situation, utilizing the strengths of each vocation as needed. From unleashing powerful combos to employing Trickster skills for deception and opening opportunities for devastating attack magick, the Warfarer offers a thrilling gameplay experience. However, it’s important to note that the Warfarer does have its limitations. Their basic stats may not be as impressive as other vocations, and they must carry multiple weapons to utilize their diverse skill set effectively. Mastering this vocation requires skill and adaptability, allowing players to exploit strengths in different scenarios. Only those who truly hone their abilities will unlock the full potential of the Warfarer.

But that’s not all! Let’s talk about the vocation maisters. Scattered throughout the world of Dragon’s Dogma 2, these skilled individuals have mastered their respective vocations. For example, we have Lennart, the Fighter vocation maister, who possesses remarkable combat and leadership skills. Another noteworthy figure is Sigurd, the vocation maister for the Mystic Spearhand, who roams from place to place in search of dragons. As you build relationships with these vocation maisters and earn their approval, they may grant you special tomes that unlock new vocations or bestow upon you valuable skills known as “maister’s teachings.” Discovering all the vocation maisters will be a thrilling challenge, as each brings unique abilities to the table. For instance, the Archer’s maister’s teaching, Heavenly Shot, allows you to fire an arrow of maximum power at the cost of consuming all your stamina. Meanwhile, the Mystic Spearhand’s maister’s teaching, Wild Furie, enables you to create a magickal double, unleashing both magickal and physical damage upon your foes.

Now, let’s turn our attention to the enigmatic dragonsplague. This contagious disease-like status infects Pawns under specific conditions. While afflicted, a Pawn’s basic stats receive a boost, and their behavior undergoes a noticeable change. Dragonsplague spreads among Pawns during their interdimensional travels. In its early stages, the afflicted Pawn exhibits abilities and confidence beyond their normal capabilities. However, as the illness progresses, it is rumored to result in devastating calamity. Unfortunately, little is known about dragonsplague in this world, and its true nature and the extent of its calamitous effects remain uncertain. It appears to be a rare condition, but if you notice a member of your party becoming unusually bossy or excessively active, they may have contracted dragonsplague. The decision to seek a cure or embrace the enhanced strength it offers is entirely up to you as the player. As the illness advances, the Pawn’s appearance seems to be affected as well, adding an intriguing visual element to this unique gameplay mechanic.

That concludes our coverage for today! We hope you’ve enjoyed this in-depth look at Dragon’s Dogma 2.
