Learning tolevel up fast in Dragon’s Dogma 2is crucial if you truly want to enhance your Arisen’s abilities.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 Level Up Tips
The following tips will help you level up your Dragon’s Dogma 2 character with ease. Note that someareas of the mapshould be reserved until you reach a high enough level. If you really want to see everything the game has to offer, you’ll need to start troubling theoverall level capto survive.
Kill All Wild Beasts
First and foremost, slaying the wild enemies constantly patrolling the open world of Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a great way to net extra XP. We’ve found that the best to go for are the wild wolves. Each one you kill provides 300-400 XP, and they’re incredibly easy to dispatch of.
Even if it’s one of your Pawns that lands the killing blow to defeat a wild enemy, you still get the whole share of XP for that encounter. Since most enemies spawn in groups of three or four, there’s always a few thousand XP on offer for each battle.
The main quest involves lots of trekking back and forth from specific areas. The route from the Checkpoint to Bakkbatahl, for example, places you in front of Golems, griffons, and plenty of low-level enemies like goblins and thieves. If you’re brave enough, tackling all of these threats while heading to your next main objective should get you up a rank or two.
Clear Quests
This one goes without saying, but completing anyquest, be itmain or side, nets you XP as well. We’ve even found that getting the ‘bad’ ending of a branching quest still provides you with thousands of XP. For that reason, there’s nothing to stop you from clearing each and every quest you pick up along the way.
That said, it’s hard to predict just how much XP you’ll get for each quest. Usually, it’s at least 2,000 XP for menial side quests, increasing depending on the length of the quest and its relevance to the Arisen’s main story.
Focus on Low-Level Areas
A classic RPG approach, there’s no reason not to head back to the early areas of Dragon’s Dogma 2 to blaze through dungeons and enemy hordes. This is the Vernworth area of the map, which will now be devoid of new quests – provided you’ve agreed to continue past the point of no return in the main quest.
Regardless, you’re able to head there and fight big enemies like griffons that are much weaker, with fewer health bars than in more high-level areas. There are still random events and caves to clear, and it’ll be much easier to do than in areas more attuned to your level.
With a combination of those three methods, you’ll be leveling up easily in Dragon’s Dogma 2. Also note that if you play withoutPawns, or with Pawns much lower than your level, you get bonus XP too. That said, it’ll be a whole lot harder!
