How to find the Greatsword and Archistaff in Dragon’s Dogma 2

To start off the search for the Greatsword and Archistaff, you’ll need to have put a short bit of time into the game, making your way past the opening. Once you’ve progressed the main until you’ve reached the grand city of Vernworth, it’s time to begin.

A world of danger

With these new Vocations unlocked, you’ll have far more options for expanding your skills and spells, letting you create the Arisen hero that you want to be in this dark, monster-infested land. These aren’t the last Vocations you’ll unlock, but they give you increased flexibility over the four starting options. Always remember that you can choose to change your Vocation at the Vocation Guild at any time, without penalty to progression.
