Help! Game is Hard and Bosses are super hard to kill.

[NJ]

Hi Guys,

Just started this game a couple of days ago and went to Bitterblack Isle where the bosses and creatures are super hard.

I did meet this woman on the pier of some sort and ended up here. Am I suppose to explore the area before heading out to Bitterblack Isle?

If the answer is Yes, can I go back to the location where I started off, complete all the quests etc, gain more skills etc and then come back more prepared.

Thanks

I did do one side quest but that is it. And defeated 2 bosses where you start the game. Something tells me I jumped the hoops too quickly and embarked on something not equipped and prepared for.

Bitterblack Isle is endgame content. Use a ferrystone or talk to the lady to go back to Cassardis.

Thank you Buddy. I guess I jumped the hoops. No wonder the bosses are super hard.

I really think they should be like warning or some sort saying you need to be at level ?? before coming.

May I suggest lvl 80 and above? Before trying BBI.

DD is one of those games that pretty much lets you go wherever from the start and never tells you that you in no way are ready for it. Also, the Isle is an extreme case that was added to the latter Dark Arsien version.
The next time you come across something that seems way to difficult then reconsider if there's anything else you could be doing to gain some levels.

Thank you Guys, quick question.

In order which area shall I explorer first, second, third etc? All I know so far is Cassardis is first and Bitterblack Isle is last which the end game.

Thanks

U start at Cassardis, Next site you'll visit is the Encampment. Following that you'll go to Gran Soren. Best to complete some of notice board missions/quests to up your level a bit.
If you're short on cash to buy better armor or weapons those oxen outside the 2 gates of GS can drop beefsteaks which, once you rest for 2-3 days with them in your inventory, can bring you 1500 bucks each by selling them to a merchant. There's about 30 oxen out there and they are easy kills made in relative safety. Some re-spawn each time you enter or leave the Gran Soren gate.
WARNING: The missions/quests on those notice boards are not always easy for a brand new low level player to complete. That's all I'm going to say about that. Wouldn't want to spoil your thrill of discovery.

Bitterback isle is post-game content don't bother with it until after you've seen the endgame credits.

Thanks Guys,

Where is the best place to find or get good weapons, gear etc Or is it all over. At least when I reach level 80 and above and when I am ready for the end game - Bitterblack Isle

Thanks

Or better... only after beating the Dragon on first playthrough. Have her appear on the docks as early as she does only on a second or subsequent playthrough. Similar to the Ur-Dragon stone that appears in Cassardis on subsequent playthroughs.

In dragon dogma, the warning are the background music and your pawns rantings.
If you dont pay attention to those warnings there's a second warning: the reload screen with a prompt to lower the difficulty.

Best place for loot is BBi, even the lowest tier of purification weapon/armor is leagues above what you can get in Gransis.

That's one of the reason why going there even at a very low level is very doable (and preferrably on hardmode, if you're gonna get OHKOed anyway, better double the reward).

You can easily sneak your way to chests containing those cursed items and all mandatory bosses fights are a joke to beat once you know their patterns and mechanics... And since they all are very high level (and give double exp on hardmode), each kill will raise your level significantly (Gazer get you from level 11 to above 50, then killing death on the bridge following gazer's area get you immediately above 80... tada ! you got the required level to beat BBi no problem...).

There's also locked doors in one of the early area (the one where you meet barrock for th efirst time) which require special keys, and you can get your hands on one without having to kill anything... 2 of those doors lead to some of the most powerfull bows in the game (Tada ! you got the weapon to beat any boss the "old way")

Well there maybe should be some lvl restriction or sumtin. Like she would laugh at u at lvl less than 50 and ♥♥♥♥ that would make it more interestin and more hilarious.
