Mystic Spearhand in Dragon's Dogma 2: how to unlock and create the best build

Contents

In Dragon's Dogma 2 The Mystic Spearhand is a hybrid class that allows you to use not only melee weapons, but also magic. Access to it can only be gained during the progress of the game, that is, it will not be available when creating a hero. In this guide, we'll tell you exactly how to unlock this calling, where to find Sigurd, and give you tips on creating the best build.

How to unlock the Mystic Spearhand class in Dragon's Dogma 2

To do this, you will need to find Sigurd, the dragon hunter who actually invented this fighting style. All you have to do is chat with him and ask him a couple of questions. Next we indicate its location.

Where to find Sigurd

First meeting

First of all, you will need to get to Vernworth as part of the quest “The Throne of the Lord”, and then chat with Brant and take three story missions from him: "Prisoner Lawyer", "Monster Cleanup" And "Disa's Intrigues". Be sure to go through any of them. Having done this, return to the city and go to its northeastern entrance.

Here, wait for the cart, pay the driver 100 coins and go to the village of Melve, where you have already been. Before this, you can also take on the quest “Messenger on the Cart”, given by Donovan, standing next to the cart waiting post. After arriving at the settlement, enter the ruined part of the settlement and you will see the locals fighting the drake.

Engage in battle with the monster. By the way, here you will have the opportunity to kill the monster with the help of a ballista and get a special weapon (we talked about this below). When the enemy has about 4-5 bars of health left, he will soar into the sky and fly away, meaning it is not necessary to kill him. After that, chat with Ulrika, and then start looking for Sigurd.

We are talking about a dark-skinned man in a hood, behind whose back hangs a double-edged spear. Talk to him and then choose an answer "Ask about his fighting style" . As soon as you complete the conversation, a new calling will open up for you. If you previously killed the dragon with a ballista, then chat with it again to unlock the unique “Wild Wrath” technique.

Then you need to go to any Guild of Vocations (for example, in Wenworth) and open a new class by spending 200 AP. No need to worry about equipment, as you will receive the Blade of the Initiate Glaive, Monk's Hood, Swordsman's Jacket and Soft Leather Boots completely free of charge. Plus, gunsmiths in the city should have new equipment.

Note: If you took part in the battle with the drake, but cannot find Sigurd, then he is most likely dead. In this case, look for a corpse near the battle site and resurrect it using the awakening stone. If the body is nowhere to be found, then it was probably taken to Wernworth Mortuary - the pictures below show the location of the entrance to the crypt.

Second meeting

If you missed the right master, then it doesn’t matter, because later you can meet him in the village of Kharv, but first you have to complete the task "Scaly Invaders". Once you've done this, wait 2-3 days for the village to recover, then return to it and go to the Coastal Hut to the west. Here you will find Sigurd - just chat with him to unlock the calling.

Note: If you were unable to find him at home, then try to skip the time to morning or night by waiting on a bench near the hut.

Third meeting

Didn't manage to catch Sigurd in Harv? Again, you don’t need to worry about this, since you will be able to meet him again, but this time in the kingdom of the beastmen. Head to Battal and then head southwest along the main road to the Dragon's Breath Tower. As soon as you approach the entrance to it, Sigurd will approach you and offer his help in destroying the next drake - agree to his offer.

You can ask him a question about his fighting style to unlock a calling. Then climb the tower and fight the monster. If you can kill him, you will have a second chance to master the Savage Wrath move. However, your comrade will most likely die here, so do not forget to resurrect him. If Sigurd's attitude towards you has changed after being revived, then simply visit him every day at the Coastal Hut in the village of Harv and give him a bouquet of flowers until he teaches you the required ability.

Fourth meeting

The last time you can meet him is in the Temple of the Seabed, but only after receiving the true ending. However, it is unlikely that you will need to explore a new vocation by then.

Best build for Mystic Spearman

The magical spearman is an extremely versatile class, capable of playing the role of not only a damage dealer, but also a support in a squad. With it, you can protect yourself and your party members with a magical shield, perform crowd control, quickly move around the battlefield, and also deal both physical and magical damage. It performs well in battle against both single and multiple targets, including flying ones. For this reason, this calling can well be called one of the best in the game.

Important: Unfortunately, pawns are not able to learn this calling, that is, only the Risen can switch to it.

Squad composition for the Mystic Spearman

Everything is quite simple here. Considering the presence of a shield, you will not need a Fighter in your squad to divert the attention of enemies to yourself, so we recommend taking the following pawns into your team:

A damage dealer capable of inflicting physical damage - we are talking about archers, thieves and warriors.
A damage dealer capable of inflicting magical damage - only the sorcerer is present here.
Support for healing and supporting the group - take a mage with healing skills and weapon enchantment.

Next, simply select pawns specifically for your squad, studying their skills, specializations and characteristics. As for their level, it may differ from that of the main character by 2-4 levels.

Analysis of basic skills

Try to open it first Twisted dissection, which is an improved version of Double Cut. The fact is that with its help you can perform rotational movements with the glaive in front of you, causing enormous damage to all nearby enemies, especially if the weapon is enhanced with magic.

However, to activate the ability, you must press the normal strike button extremely quickly. It also has a long activation animation, so you either need to activate your shield first to avoid getting hit, or only use it on a downed or stunned enemy. By the way, you can activate this attack when you climb on top of an enemy, but you must be sure to stand upright. Let's add that it does not waste your stamina, so you can use it for as long as you like.

Your second basic skill will be Magic dissection, when used, the character performs a slash and releases an elemental wave in front of him. With its help, you can shoot down flying monsters and finish off enemies if they have lost their balance or fallen (the blow itself, by the way, can also cause these conditions). This punch's animation appears to be slightly faster while running.

Stunning Discharge is mostly useless, as it does no damage and only slightly slows down small enemies. Inhibiting discharge can paralyze small targets for a short time (and slow down large ones if you hold down the attack button for a long time) - a little better than the previous one, but also in general there is little benefit from it.

So we advise you to quickly reach Scattered Lightning, which can spread discharges to several enemies at once (ideal when fighting large groups of small monsters) and Quick Step, which allows you to instantly move to enemies struck by a discharge or lightning. It is with these skills that the Prohibiting Discharge gains the right to life.

Best Weapon Skills

We will not analyze all the skills, but will indicate only the most useful for the Mystic Spearman. First of all, of course, you need to take Wild anger, which creates an illusion of the character that repeats all his movements and deals the same damage. However, it “eats” a lot of stamina, so you won’t be able to use it often. A mage on a team with the “Song of Heaven” ability can improve the situation a little.

Next, be sure to take Mirror armor, which is, without an understatement, one of the best magical barriers in Dragon's Dogma 2. With it, you can protect the entire squad and even the NPCs accompanying you. It blocks any attacks, even the most powerful ones, and has no cooldown.

You can take the third one A thief's hand, which drains life from enemies, restoring the hero’s stamina. However, you will have to stand still when using it, so be sure to activate the shield before doing so. A must for those who don't have a mage with Heaven's Song, as it allows you to use Wild Wrath more often.

Take the fourth one Combat Lunge (an improved form of Combat Acceleration), with which you can dash towards an enemy both on the ground and in the air. Can be performed while jumping, thereby quickly climbing onto the backs of opponents. It is thanks to him that you will be able to move around the battlefield as quickly as possible.

If you have "Song of Heaven", then instead of Thieves' Hand, take Dragon Fang, which goes well with the Combat Lunge, as it allows you to gain greater height and instantly climb onto the back of a large enemy or knock out a flying monster. When exploring the world, it will help you climb high ledges or overcome chasms.

Best Amplifiers

Let us remind you that you can use amplifiers not only of the Mystic Spearman, but also of other classes, which can significantly increase the combat potential of your build. Their choice largely depends on the weapon you use and its buffs.

For example, if you are used to enchanting your glaive with elemental magic or improving it from elves, then be sure to take amplifiers to increase magical damage. You can add Sagacity (Sorcerer) and Polarity (Mystic Spearman). The latter works a little worse, since the increase in magic only works at night.

For those who focus on physical damage, we recommend taking Ardentness (Thief), which increases strength. Be sure to take the stamina boosters: Hardening (Archer) and Exaltation (Mage). Since the spearman is able to easily reach the weak spots of enemies, it would be useful to add the Lethality (Archer) buff to him.

You can also increase your knockdown resistance with Stability (Sorcerer). It will be useful during the Twisted Dissection. Take the rest of the amplifiers at your own discretion - the Mystic Spearman himself has many useful bonuses.

Best weapon

You can get the best glaive for your character - Dead Ringer - With You with a calling. To do this, during the first meeting with Sigurd in the village of Melve, when the drake attacks it, quickly run to the tower located to the left of Ulrika’s house and climb to the very top. Then sit down at the ballista and load it. Pawns will help you turn it towards the monster.

Now shoot the monster 2-3 times. It's best to shoot him when he's on the ground. If the dragon has risen into the air, then aim just above its body. After killing an enemy, you will automatically be transported to him - examine the corpse to obtain a weapon.

Let's add that you can also buy it in Agamen's armory, located in the camp on the Volcanic Island. Trader Beatrice will sell it to you for 56 thousand coins. Plus, the glaive drops from the drake, which can be killed in the Tower of the Dragon's Breath (we talked about him above).

If you were unable to get the Dead Ringer With You with the summoning, then try to get the Infernal Blade. To do this, you will need to complete the task “For Whom the Bell Tolls”, accompanying Oscar to the ruins of the castle. You can find it near the entrance to the Ancient Battlefield (the pictures below show the required location). Having received an unknown Key from him, go back a little and open the door littered with boxes. Inside the room you will find chests, one of which contains the weapon you need.

With rings, everything is simple - wear any jewelry that increases stamina (when playing through Wild Wrath), magic or strength (depending on what kind of damage you mainly deal - physical or magical).
