The award for Dragon’s Dogma 2’s biggest jerks goes to the griffins

Not since Elden Ring have gamers been posting as many Ls as they’ve with Dragon’s Dogma 2. It is one other open world RPG the place every thing can and can go incorrect. If it isn’t pawns, the sport’s clumsy NPC celebration members, getting themselves killed, it is gamers minding their very own enterprise when a griffin swoops in for a shock boss battle.

Really, many of the clips are in regards to the griffins, Dragon’s Dogma 2’s greatest jerks. They don’t care what quest you might be on, what state your celebration is in, or how lengthy you’ve got spent together with your present pawns. They all the time discover you when it is the least handy.

I’ve fought a griffin. They are not significantly scary when every thing is beneath management. They even fly off if their well being will get low. I’ve not, nonetheless, been dive-bombed by one whereas peacefully driving in an oxcart like these gamers:

Don’t fret, griffins do not truly care whether or not or not you are in an oxcart. They may discover you it doesn’t matter what. 

Elevators, too. 

These heat-seeking missiles with claws are additionally rideable in the event you’re fortunate, and so they can take you to locations you’ve got by no means been earlier than. It is virtually like quick journey besides you possibly can die at any second and it isn’t significantly quick. However, hey, you do not have to spend a cent on quick journey objects. 

On this clip, which at present has over three million views on TikTok, a participant is “saved” from falling off a griffin by their pawn Frank. However in the event you roll again the tape, I am fairly certain Frank shot the explosive arrow that precipitated them to fall off within the first place. You are not fooling anybody, Frank!

Maya right here is an precise hero and wasn’t merely doing it for the clip. (I am not going to interrogate why Maya’s minimap icon magically teleports beneath MissMikkaa as she falls.) 

Consider it or not, the griffins are mortal and you may kill them. They have an inclination to flee from battle however they cannot run away from you in the event you’re already on their again. The trick is to take them out with out taking your self out on the identical time. 

If you will get them to fall in water, you may be the one one crawling again out because the “The Brine” cannot kill your Arisen. It is going to kill your pawns, although, so watch out. 

The one good factor I can say about griffins is that they will not infect your pawns with Dragonsplague. So, they don’t seem to be the worst factor that may occur to you in Dragon’s Dogma 2, they’re the second worst factor that may occur to you in Dragon’s Dogma 2. However the dragons do not spend all day pondering of pranks to tug on you want griffins, which, in my eyes, makes them simply Dragon’s Dogma 2’s greatest jerks.
