Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen Cassardis Chapter 1 Walkthrough

AntMag.NET

Watch the opening cutscene. Shortly, the Dragon appears and attacks the village. You, a fisherman, pick up a sword to fight it but are defeated and have your heart eaten.

When the Dragon approaches, you’ll arm yourself with a discarded weapon. You can’t do much in this first encounter, but you can prove your mettle and make a nuisance of yourself.

Picking Your Vocation

In Dragon’s Dogma, when you level up, your Hit Points, Stamina, Strength, Magick, Defense, and Magick Defense all raise by various rates according to your class. Your initial class also determines your starting stats. Everybody fights the Dragon the first time as a Fighter (default). Your stats are subject to change depending on whether you start out as a Fighter, Strider, or Mage:

Starting Stats	HP	ST	STR	MGK	DEF	MDF
Fighter	450	540	80	60	80	60
Strider	430	540	70	70	70	70
Mage	410	540	60	80	60	80

Whatever class you pick now, you’re stuck with for a while. This initial choice affects your starting stats and your stat growth until you’re level ten. Up until 10th level, these three ‘Basic Vocations’ are your only choices. Afterwards, you can change to the ‘Advanced Vocations’ or ‘Hybrid vocations’.

Basic Vocations (Levels 2 - 10)	HP	ST	STR	MGK	DEF	MDF
Fighter	30	20	4	2	3	2
Strider	25	25	3	3	3	2
Mage	22	20	2	4	3	3

Note that the growth rates of the three basic Vocations only apply until 10th level. For a Strength-build or Hybrid-build, it’s suggested that you start out as a Fighter, since its total offense (Strength/Magick) is six, and it gets the highest number of starting Hit Points. Magick-builds should begin as Mages.

Basic Vocations (Levels 11 - 100*)	HP	ST	STR	MGK	DEF	MDF
Fighter	37	15	4	2	4	1
Strider	25	25	3	3	3	2
Mage	21	10	2	4	1	4

* _Level 200 is the maximum level._

Pick whatever you wish, keeping the numbers in mind. If you plan to mix and match vocations, consider making a spreadsheet to track your character’s progression.

Interact with the weapons and pick your Vocation. You start with a Plebeian Shirt and some Cloth Greaves. You can equip the ‘Set of Fisherman’s Tatters’ to look like you fought a Dragon and lost. You can talk to the injured people here and loot a Blank Scroll and some Mithridate from along the northern wall. Exit the room via the doorway to the west. You’ll overhear Quina talking to the village chief Adaro. You can talk to Quina after Adaro leaves, but she has nothing to say.
