The best Ergo farm locations in Lies of P

By

There are many mechanics that can make a game a soulslike, including stamina, tough enemies and bosses, and secrets, but almost all combine XP and currencies into one resource. In Lies of P, that resource is called Ergo, which you use to buy items, improve weapons, and, most importantly, level up. Ergo is earned either through beating enemies and bosses, selling items, or using consumable Ergo Fragments to get a quick boost. That said, you’ll always be wanting for more. Whether it be a tough boss you just need a bit more attack to beat, or you found a weapon you want to upgrade, Ergo always seems to be in short supply. Thankfully there are a couple of great spots you can go to farm plenty of Ergo fast in Lies of P.

Best Ergo farming routes

Neowiz

Krat Central Station

The first farming spot is available very early in the game, making it great to help you get over any early areas or bosses giving you trouble. From Krat Central Station Plaza, you can quickly fight your way through the map straight to the Cerasani Alley stargazer, rest to respawn the enemy, and then run the route in reverse. The enemies are basic here, so it will take a few runs to get a meaningful amount of Ergo, but it is easy, safe, and worth it for the early game. Once you start needing a lot more Ergo, however, you’ll want to use a later route.

St. Frangelico Cathedral bridge

For a more mid-game-appropriate Ergo farm, the bridge outside the St. Frangelico Cathedral is one of the easiest ways to scoop up Ergo. For one, this bridge is unusually dense with enemies. Normally that would make this a poor choice since getting swarmed will usually end with your death, but the variety of enemies means that they will aggro and fight amongst themselves. This allows you the option to slowly move through and pick off stragglers, or simply stand just out of range and let the enemies do all the work while the Ergo flows into your pockets. Again, the stargazer being so close means you can reset and loop this process very quickly.

Barren Swamp Entrance

Late-game Ergo farming gets much tougher since the only enemies that will drop a meaningful amount are going to be much tougher. However, the Barren Swamp does have a decently safe loop you can run that can give you that final boost of XP to finish off the game. This is a literal loop this time, beginning and ending at the Barren Swamp Entrance stargazer. As long as you’ve already cleared this area once and opened the shortcut, take the path backward through the destroyed wall to come behind the snipers rather than dodge their attacks going the normal way. If you’re careful, you can make it a decent way through the loop without even alerting enemies at all. Once you make it back around, reset at the stargazer and run it again.

What is dragonsplague in Dragon’s Dogma 2 and how is it cured?

Dragon's Dogma 2 likes to keep many of its mechanics and systems a secret until you discover them. You will learn quickly that you can't fast travel around the map freely, but there's one mechanic that is far more detrimental to your game. This is called dragonsplague and it is a disease that can't be cured with a simple tonic. In fact, you may not even realize if you have it in your game because it isn't something that affects your character at all; instead, it affects your Pawns. Failing to recognize you have dragonsplague and deal with it in a timely manner can ruin your entire playthrough if you're not careful. To avoid such a catastrophe, here are all the details about this cruel disease.
What is dragonsplague?

Dragonsplague is a special kind of disease that Pawns can contract seemingly by interacting with either Drakes or Dragons. That part isn't fully clear yet, however, we do know that Pawns with dragonsplague can spread the disease to other Pawns. Since Pawns are able to pass between worlds to join other players, you are never fully safe from being infected if you're playing online. Unlike a real sickness, though, dragonsplague actually transfers between Pawns rather than spreads, meaning it won't fully run rampant through the game.

The best Dragon’s Dogma 2 mods

Even before release, there were some red flags about how Dragon's Dogma 2 would perform on a technical level. While console players need to wait and hope for patches to fix things, those on PC can already improve their games through the hard work of modders. Of course, technical improvements are only one area where modders focus. With such a massive world and many systems in place, Dragon's Dogma 2 is brimming with potential for mods of all shapes and sizes. Aside from mods that just improve your performance, most are better saved for after you've reached the true ending, but no one is going to stop you if you'd rather start experimenting from the start. Here are a handful of the best mods you should try in Dragon's Dogma 2.
Dragon's Dogma 2 DLSS3 Enabler 01 - Puredark

For whatever reason, Dragon's Dogma 2 launched with its DLSS3 function disabled. While it is assumed it will be turned on at some point with a patch, modder Puredark went ahead and released the simple Dragon's Dogma 2 DLSS3 Enabler 01 to let you actually play the game with better visuals and framerates. If you have an Nvidia 4000 series GPU, there's no reason not to install this simple enabler.

The best skills for each Vocation in Dragon’s Dogma 2

As you level up your Vocations and character in Dragon's Dogma 2, you will earn XP and Dcp. The former will contribute to you leveling up and passively getting stronger, while the latter needs to be spent on unlocking new skills for your current Vocation. There are 10 total Vocations you can eventually unlock and use, and each one has a dozen or more skills to unlock and test out, and yet you can only use four at any given time. That's a lot of possible skills to try out and potentially waste your DCP on. Instead, we'll help you min-max your build right from the start by recommending the best skills you should get for each and every Vocation in the game.
Best skills

The best skill will vary for each Vocation based on what role they are most suited to in combat. Some skills can be upgraded to better versions as you level up your Vocation, so check back in the skills menu every so often to make sure you're using the best version available.
