How to Unlock the Mystic Spearhand Vocation in Dragon’s Dogma 2

Dragon’s Dogma 2 has received overwhelming response from the players since it was released. Though Capcom took several years to develop this sequel, the game is worth it. From the mysterious world of the game to the boss fights and quests, the developers have designed everything with great care. Indeed this game has a few features that match the previous games of the series, but about the vocations, Capcom has introduced a few new ones to give the game a unique touch. Luckily, the Mystic Spearhand is among them. 

The game has around 10 vocations that players can try in the game, but not all of them are available from the beginning. Apart from the initial four vocations, all renaming vocations need to be unlocked and the advanced ones require players to do different activities or complete quests to unlock them. So, if you are trying to unlock the Mystic Spearhand vocation, but can’t understand how to unlock it, this guide will help you with all the required information. 

Before we progress further, let me tell you, none of these advanced vocations can be unlocked earlier in the game. Instead, players need to progress through the main story to a certain point to access them. 

Dragon’s Dogma 2- Unlocking Mystic Spearhand Vocation Process Explained

Mystic Spearhand is one of the most attractive vocations of the game and it can be unlocked comparatively faster, within the first five to seven hours of gameplay. Players can unlock this vocation through different ways, but the main thing is to find Sigurd and interact with him. So, if you are confused about his location and how to locate him, that’s indeed a tough thing to say. You can find him in the Coastal Hut in Harve Village, or during the A New Godsway questline. However, one of the guaranteed ways to meet this NPC is to keep progressing through Captain Brant’s questline. 

After the tutorial of the game is over, you will eventually meet Captain Brant when you arrive in Vernworth. You definitely remember seeing him during the opening scenes of the game as a loyal companion. When you meet him this time, he will ask you to complete a few quests to attract the attention of Queen Regent and the False Sovren. Accepting that will start Brant’s questline.

Soon players will receive a quest named: Monster Culling. In this quest, players are tasked to visit three different locations to slay monsters and establish their valor. Once you are done with the quest, you need to return to Brant at an Inn and there will be a lot of prompts to check. Ignore whatever they are and get prepared for returning to Melve. Of course, players can choose to walk back to Melve, but if you want to save time, try to board an Oxcart. Find the nearest Oxcart Station and wait for an Oxcart to start its journey. Now the problem is not every Oxcart will take you to your destination. So, to make sure that you are at the right station, look for an NPC named Donovan, who will ask for your help to deliver a letter to Melve.

The moment you step into Melve, you will find the city in a distressed situation. A Dragon has attacked the city. However, the dragon fight won’t be a challenging one. Try to climb at the back of the dragon and start hitting it. As you start making it weaker, eventually the Dragon will fly. Killing the dragon is not required. During this fight, you will notice the presence and bravery of the Shepherd with a duoblade weapon and a hood, named Sigurd. 

Once the fight is over, approach Sigurd and interact with him. Hail the NPC and ask him about his fighting style. In return he will inform you that he is impressed with you and offer to teach you his fighting technique. As soon as it happens, players will get a notification of unlocking the Mystic Spearhand Vocation.

Now that you have unlocked the vocation, naturally, you will be curious to know about the strengths and weaknesses of the vocation. 

Dragon’s Dogma 2 Mystic Spearhand Vocation Strengths and Weaknesses Explained

Dragon’s Dogma 2 has different vocations to explore and all of them have their unique abilities to help players progress through the story. However, among the most versatile vocations of the game, Mystic Spearhand comes at the top. The adaptability of this vocation is what distinguishes it from others. The adaptability empowers players to tailor their playstyle according to the requirements of the battle. Study the enemy and then players can decide how to encounter it. 

This vocation presents players with a unique combination of melee and magickal abilities to give them memorable combat experiences. Like all other vocations, Mystic Spearhand also has its signature weapon, named Duospear. Luckily, this weapon is incredible in both close range combat and long-range attacks. Additionally, the magic abilities of this vocation allows players to give challenging enemies a hard time. If one can use them properly, they can paralyze the enemies or manipulate objects around them to gain tactical advantages.

Though the vocation is an outstanding one, still it has a few limitations. If you compare with other vocations, you will probably find these ones trivial, but it is important to know about them. As it combines both melee and magic attacks, this vocation is tough to master. The combination opens a wide range of tactical choices, which is not easy to understand. Additionally, maximizing the effectiveness of these attacks will also get affected. Therefore, if you are someone who is new to the game and looking for a rather simple playing style, these complex mechanisms will confuse you.

The process is a bit complicated and if you are not aware of the exact way to unlock this vocation, you may miss it. However, once you have unlocked it, go to any nearby Vocation Guild or Inn to switch to the newly unlocked vocation to experience it.
