Figuring out how to unlock the Dragon’s Dogma 2 Magick Archer (or Magic Archer) vocation is a challenge. Unlike the other vocations in the game, the location for the Magick Archer trainer is not obvious and isn’t part of the quests in the main storyline. Also, the maister for this class is located very far from the starting area and will take you a good chunk of the game just to reach. This is particularly rough, since this hybrid class between Archer and Mage was one of the most popular choices in the original game. That said, here’s how to access the Magick Archer in DD2 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
How to unlock Dragon’s Dogma 2 Magick Archer vocation
There are many steps you need to follow to unlock the Magick Archer class in Dragon’s Dogma 2. The trainer for the vocation named Cliodhna is very hard to reach.
- Gain access to Battahl – Reaching the second region of DD2 requires that you pass through the Checkpoint Rest Town located far west of Vernworth, the capital of Vermund (where you can change your appearance). You can either get past the gate here by getting a permit from the main story quests in Vernworth, being a Beastren character, or buying a beastren mask from the secret shop in the rest town.
- Reach Drabnir’s Grotto – This cave is a relatively high-level dungeon that’s south of Balbatthal, the capital of Battahl. Just reaching the entrance of the grotto (as seen in the image above) is a challenge, and getting through this cave system isn’t a breeze either. Get ready to defeat some tough bosses here.
- Finish Spring in Thy Step quest – After you exit the grotto, you’ll find a dwarf named Gautstafr that tasks you with getting wildflowers, which you can obtain close to him. You then need to bring him back to Windwalker’s Home, where you will meet Cliodhna for the first time. You’ll then need to escort him to the hot springs at the Volcanic Island Camp to the east. Beware a possible fight with a griffin.
- Speak with Cliodhna – Once the quest is complete, you can finally talk to Cliodhna and unlock the Magick Archer vocation at long last.
The good news is that this vocation comes so late that you probably enough vocation points banked that you can unlock a lot of the skills of the class fairly easily.
