@Splat Nice work on the platinum, that can't have been easy. I didn't get anywhere close to it.
Dragon's Dogma 2 Players Are Diving Onto NPCs To Avoid Fall Damage
31.03.2024 - 15:27 / thegamer.com
Fall damage is a beast in Dragon's Dogma 2 all of its own. There you are, minding your business on a slippery, slanted rooftop when, all of a sudden, you hurl off the side and land flat on your face as your pawns point and laugh at you like Nelson in The Simpsons. Luckily, there's a way to avoid leaving your entrails on the pavement.
@Arron_TK tweeted a clip of them landing on an unsuspecting bystander, crushing them under the weight of their heavy, metal armour. Sure, the NPC dies, but they don't, and that's all that matters. So if you want to survive dropping from a cliff, make sure a friendly fella is walking by.
If you're in the middle of nowhere, the 'fall on an NPC' tactic isn't exactly the most useful tip, but there is another way to survive plummets that would normally leave you as little more than a stain on the pavement.
As shown in @PrizzaaGaming's clip on Twitter, you can hurl your pawn off a ledge first and then fire a reviving arrow to save them from death.
They'll get up like nothing happened, so you can leap off and let them catch you. In a roundabout way, you're still diving at NPCs to survive a perilous fall.
There is a slight risk to this method, though. Your pawns won't always catch you, so while you might be able to get them down (somewhat) safely, you'll be taking a leap of faith and leaving your survival up to chance.
Other players are busy throwing their pawns off cliffs and leaving them for dead, on account of the whole Dragonsplague thing going around.
In fairness, it's also pretty risky diving onto NPCs, but both of these methods are quicker ways of getting down cliffs you'd otherwise have to find a path for.
Dragon's Dogma is the long-anticipated sequel to Capcom's action RPG. Once again taking on the role of the Arisen, the game promises full customisation in how you create your character and play through your story.

Helldivers 2 Players Are Getting Sick Of "Instakill" Fire Damage
There are plenty of stupid ways to accidentally throw your life away in Helldivers 2. You could stand under a dropship, drown in a lake, or run into an exploding bush, three things that personally killed me during my first few drops. I also accidentally burned my Helldiver alive by running through some ankle high flames, completely unaware of the recent complaints about how quickly fire is killing people after the game's latest patch.

Dragon Dogma 2’s cursed endgame is nothing but dessert
Dragon’s Dogma 2 is about the journey, not the destination. It’s about exploring routes you’ve never taken before, camping in the wilderness, and having an unexpected run in with a Minotaur. Quests objectives are also left intentionally vague, forcing you to puzzle things out and speak to as many people as you can. If you could just easily fast travel to obvious quest markers you could certainly check them off your list more efficiently, but then you’d miss out entirely on the adventure of getting there.

Dragons Dogma 2 - PlayStation 5 (PS5) Forum - Page 8
@ApostateMage haha these moments are the best. This is the location I had wandered off to while getting side tracked from everything else. I went in a sorcerer (I think) and came back as a Magick Archer, then switched to thief at Bakbhattal after i'd levelled up to about MA lv5.

@Splat You aren’t really. The game is designed to be played multiple times so if you can’t stumble upon it, theoretically that is what NG+ is for.

Dragon's Dogma 2 Players Are Fed Up With The Lack Of Armor Variety
Dragon's Dogma 2 is pretty fantastic - I'm sure you'll struggle to find a fan of the series that doesn't hold that viewpoint. That doesn't mean it's perfect though, as while the game is looking like one of 2024's best, there are some things that are beginning to irk players that have sunk a significant amount of time into the game. Earlier this week, fans were complaining about the lack of enemy variety, and it turns out the beasties in Dragon's Dogma 2 aren't the only things that are getting a little repetitive.
