Last Updated on: 30 March, 2024 | 6:31 PM

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is one of the most praised action role-playing games of recent times with a vast open world and an exciting storyline to follow. However, this game has maintained almost all the common action RPG features including different character classes. In Dragon’s Dogma 2, the character classes are called Vocations and the game features around 10 vocations. While almost all these vocations come with powerful unique abilities, still players need to switch vocations at different points of the game, but the tricky part is that not all vocations are unlocked by default. In that case, players need to unlock them first.

Warfarer is one of the advanced vocations of the game that requires players to progress long through the game before unlocking it. Even the unlocking process is a bit difficult. Therefore, if you are trying to figure out how to unlock Warfarer vocation in Dragon’s Dogma 2, this guide will help you with all the required information.

Unlocking the Warfarer Vocation requires players to follow a few steps in proper sequence. Though you can reach the Warfarer teacher, Lamond immediately after you reach Battahl, it won’t work unless you have three bottles of Newt Liqueur. So, don’t rush and complete the steps one by one.

Unlock Volcanic Island Camp and Locate Lamond

Volcanic Island Camp is one of the later game areas that players can’t access at the beginning of the game. So, progress through the main questline of the story, until the southern part of the map unlocks. To unlock this part of the map, players need to unlock the Flamebearer Spellseal Door. Next, after you have left the Drabnir’s Grotto, follow the part to the east and eventually you will arrive at the Agamen Volcanic Island. This is the location where you need to start looking for Lamond.

If you are not sure of the exact location of this NPC, let me help you with it. Once you arrive at Agamen Volcanic Island, keep following the east side pathway, until you reach a small city with an elevated cave. Inside the cave, players will get a hot spring where you will meet Lamond. He will be found sitting at the desk outside the hotspring. He will teach you Warfarer, but that’s not for free. In exchange, players need to give him three bottles of Newt Liqueur. If you don’t give the Newt Liqueur bottles, he will offer you some rotten eggs, but won’t unlock the vocation.

Newt Liqueur Location in Dragon’s Dogma 2- Where to Find?

When you first meet Lamond, he seems to be sad and interacting with him will activate the quest named: The Sotted Sage. This quest tasks players to bring the NPC his favorite liquor. Therefore, players need to start their journey to look for the Newt Liqueur. Naturally, there will be confusion as to where to look for these liqueurs. Well, they can be found randomly during exploration, but that’s a chance factor and will take lots of time. So, to find them, make your way to Higg’s Tavern Stand.

The liquor shop is hidden. So, initially, players can’t find it, especially if they are human. The hidden liquor shop is only accessible to Beastran, but as you are aware, race can’t be changed in the game. Don’t worry, if you are a human and you have progressed this far, you must have the Beastren Mask. However, if you don’t have it, purchase it from the Checkpoint Rest Town Scrap Store. It costs 8700 Gold. Next, equip it to disguise as a Beastran, so you can get the access.

Once you are ready for the adventure, let’s make your way to the pen, next to the staircase, and pick up a sack to place it in the fenced area. Once you do this, an NPC will come to interact with you. Talk to him and eventually, you will be granted access to the Liquor store to purchase Newt Liqueur for Lamond. This purchase process needs you to spend 5000 Gold per bottle. Indeed a costly purchase, but there’s no alternative to it.

Once you have received all three bottles, get back to Lamond, and give them to the NPC. In return he will unlock the Warfarer vocation. This process will take some time. This is not an immediate process that players can do right after they have started their journey.

Now that you have unlocked the Warfarer vocation, you should be aware of the new vocation and its positive and negative sides, so you can quickly decide when to play as a Warfarer and when not.

Warfarer Vocation Strengths and Weaknesses Explained

Warfarer is one of the most versatile vocations of the game with the ability to master any weapon you want. Unlike other vocations, Warfarer can help players excel in wielding all the weapons, including swords, bows and everything else. Therefore, no matter the enemy you have been facing, you can easily take them out using the best weapons you have. Players can study the weaknesses of the enemy and use weapons accordingly as their vocation doesn’t restrict them from doing anything. Apart from that players can use all the previously unlocked skills from other vocations.

It may seem that Warfarer has no limitations, but that’s incorrect. Like every other Vocation, Warfarer has some limitations. For example, the biggest problem with this faction is that it has the lowest stats when compared to other advanced vocations. This makes things trickier. Another big trouble with this vocation is that this vocation only maintains one set of skills. Therefore, playing as a Warfarer requires well-planned strategies to win combats. Therefore, it is not suitable for beginners. They will struggle more than enjoy playing as a Warfarer.

That’s everything players need to know about how to unlock Warfarer Vocation in Dragon’s Dogma 2. Being an advanced vocation, players need to be patient to reach the point when they can finally unlock the vocation. Once you unlock it, visit any Vocation Guild or inn to switch your vocation and experience the new one.
