Dragons dogma is both an action game and a turn based one. Item usage and strategy is vital to getting the most out of challenge runs. You really take you time planning out what to do when you leave that menu screen.

Megaman, I remember all the original Megaman games and playing those for hours, brutally moving through to each boss. Those were my dark souls as a kid in the 80s and 90s. Capcom has been around for a minute.

I remember doing this casually. I would always just go straight to Bitterblack Isle because of just how much exp you could get by cheesing the first boss, and all the amazing items that were available. It turned every minor enemy into a major boss fight, and it led to one of the longest hydra fights I have ever had. But god was it satisfying when I finally won without screwing up and losing hours of progress.

Didn't limit myself from range but I did this when bbi first came out. Glad to see this game is getting so much attention. It was an amazing experience, truly one of my favorite games and is what turned me onto the dark souls series. If you haven't played this and it looks cool, trust me, you'll enjoy it.

Now we have dragons dogma 2 trailer :)

The original BBI challenge is you cannot go further than the 'Encampment'. Defeat the 1st cyclops and then BBI opens, create your pawn and go to BBI; throw pawn into the brine never to see him/her again. Gazer at level 12 is by far a tough fight. You can sleep at Cassardis to refresh and one must defeat both forms of Daimon. BTW farming level 2 weapons from the 'Black Abbey' ornate chest is grindy but sneak around to get them without fighting. Happy grinding lol.

Your pain has rewarded us with the trailer of legend. Thank you Arisen.

this is how I played bb ever since it came out, hardest dificulty on base level. its rewarding seeing your unit leveling up fighting random dungeon monsters, I have all the units tested different classes the base game with story line became boring. 😂 the most hardest class to level was always the mage but the best in end game it becomes too op. while warrior strength is the easiest to traverse the early dungeon but pretty hard on the end game.

cursed dragons are easily killable at any level with throwblasts, you can get them from the first safezone after the deer area

This game is great.

i've been binging DD content again non stop since the trailer

Well buddy, you got your trailer. And what a trailer it was. Also, the music you chose for the intro felt like should be the theme song for Daimon. It's scary, unpredictable, and a bit unhinged. And when it comes to how this played out, I feel like I have already seen this "anime". Weak protagonist thrown into the deepest, most deadly part of the world, clawing and struggling their way to the top until they're completely overpowered. If you went to Gransys now, you would have the certified harem overpowered protagonist experience, complete with your own Pawn harem. It checks all boxes. 10/10, might try it one day. Looking forward to DD2!

Done the challenge like 4 times once as a sorc,two as a strider and one as a mystic knight. All were hard as hell but strider is best cause you can cheese Death on the bridge by using 10 blast arrows. Hella fun but rage inducing.😭

That's how I played the game the first time. I made a new character, did a few quests... saw a girl in the pier at night and theeeeeeeen..... 50 hours later I am leaving Bitter Black island as a new man. I didn't know you weren't supposed to play it like that the first time. Lmao

i remember when i first saw Vageta311 doing this challenge almost 9 years ago now. Nice to see people still doing it.

I essentially do this on most playthroughs. Except the ranged weapons. That's crazy. Also, using throwblasts in early BBI is essential, since you're a level 1 regular dude.

incredible

I love this idea, gonna do it with daggers only.

bro spy tf2 money taunted that dragon to death "here, go buy yourself a nicer hat!"

hello again I have a interesting question for you ok so I know what its takes to be a great dragon like gigori but what dose it take to be a lesser dragon like drake because I thought the only to become a dragon was to be deafated by seneschal and they only way to do that was to defeat a great dragon. do you become a lesser dragon after being defetad by a great dragon?

I did this challenge on both PS3 DLC and PS4 Dark Arisen. Well every new game I go to BBI anyways on hardmode for extra EXP and no pawns. I don't have any good weapons and I can't really handle it until I gain RC and purify which is why beating Daimon is necessary. I did however use Throwblast method. If that's cheating that's fine. That's mainly my weapon and throwing throwblast is sometimes a bit tricky cause you'll never know where it's gonna land without the arch. I even beaten death twice with throw blast method. One during the bridge sequence and the other on the sewer using the waterfall one with only throw blast which gives me to level 100 almostly before even reaching Daimon. It was much easier on PS3 I believe when I first play it as a DLC. I think they change a bit on PS4 but throwblast has more damage than ever before. You just need to know where the throw arch and the timing to do it and yes, no armor, so everything will one shot you.
