Dragon’s Dogma 2 Vocations

Vocations are Dragon’s Dogma 2’s version of classes, with each one offering a unique fighting style and access to certain weapons, armor, skills, and augments for you to create a build with. For a general overview, you can read our Dragon’s Dogma 2 Vocations guide to learn how to get all 10 of them, what they do, and which ones are best. The Dragon’s Dogma 2 Mystic Spearhand is one of the best ones and you can get it pretty early in the game, so we’ve written a separate guide for that.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 exploration

Dragon’s Dogma 2 takes place in a huge world, mainly focusing on the kingdoms of Vermund and Battahl. With no mounts, you’ll spend a lot of time on foot, which can make travel quite a slog, and your options for Dragon’s Dogma 2 fast travel are limited too. However, as you’re wandering around, your Pawns will no doubt start pointing things out to you, marking them with a Dragon’s Dogma 2 exclamation mark that might be worth your attention.

Once you’ve got through a significant chunk of the main quest in Vermund and specifically the capital city of Vernworth, you’ll be tasked with getting into the region of Battahl in Dragon’s Dogma 2, which isn’t as straightforward as just walking there, requiring a permit or knowledge of a treacherous path.
