Walkthrough:

To start the quest, you need to go to Mercedes and accept the offer of rest. After that, a cut-scene will begin, where the awakened Chosen One sees the camp being attacked by a giant Hydra. After watching this cut-scene, our task is to defeat her.

There are many ways to defeat the monster. The main goal is simply to deal enough damage to the Hydra to complete this challenge. To defeat the Hydra, it is enough to cut off one of its heads.

1) You can attack the Hydra in various places, but weak points are her heads. If possible, you can climb on one of her heads and attack.

2) Archery and magic spells are effective.

3) If the fight drags on, a cut-scene will start, where Mercedes throws a barrel of explosive to the player, so that he, in turn, throws this barrel into the Hydra's mouth. Attack the head that swallowed the barrel. The barrel will explode, decapitating the Hydra.

Quest is quite simple.

First you need to meet with Mercedes. Its location will be shown on the map.

The hydra's head is in the cart, which will be carried by the bull. It moves very slowly, and our main task is to protect the cargo from various enemies encountered on the way: goblins, harpies and wolves.

Of course, the bull cannot be killed, but if its life bar drops to zero, it will be unable to move, crashing to the ground, which will slow down the journey, but the bull will recover.

Also, the bull can be accelerated with a kick, which will cause some damage and besides, he can crush the soldiers in front. If you fall behind, everyone will stop and wait for you.

The correct decision in this quest would be if you go ahead of the rest and clear their path, stop the boulders that the enemies will drop.

When you reach a given place, the quest will be considered completed.

Where possible, go down the stairs, if the passage is closed, there is a secret entrance and levers nearby. Along the way, we will meet various evil spirits, whether it be huge bats, spiders and the dead.

Toward the end of the path you will have to fight with the ogre, climb on his back and attack, but be careful, he can fall on his back and crush you. When you get to the bottom, watch the cutscene.

It is not recommended to visit Bitterblack Island until you have reached at least level 50 and finished the game. The meeting committee eats and won't choke. What can I say, supermen of the hundredth level and above can be driven into the ancient walls of the catacombs with one blow of the tail flashed from the shadows.

In general, everything is very reminiscent of. Ominous dark labyrinths, some slurry squelches underfoot, someone's groans and growls dilute the echoing silence. Mighty fiends of the underworld, who do not care about your equipment, self-conceit and past merits, easily sweep away the fragile pieces of partner pawns from the game board of this labyrinth of death. Cheap tricks are used everywhere, like firing paths or crowds of magicians covering the team with volleys of spells.

Pawns... Well, pawns remained pawns. With voices full of sincere sympathy, they scream about the need to go to the rear, boringly comment on the finds and die heroically, crushed by the carcass of a creature for which it is difficult to come up with a censored name.

The claim is not new, but in the light (more precisely, in its absence) of adventures on the island, not the most brilliant AI companions, their slowness and willfulness begin to cause a burning desire to kill the wards with their own hands. Preferably something like a chainsaw.

The local fauna has no idea about hygiene, so so many harmful living creatures live on the fangs and claws of underground creatures that most of the missed blows lead to poisoning, blindness and other tetanus. You go into a rage, over and over again you drive the sword into the scruff of the boss; the magician makes a complex face and declares that he is in control of the situation; the robber diligently cuts the sinews of the monster. And then - bam - everyone dies.

Additionally, the male Death follows the team through the labyrinth and tests his agricultural arsenal on them. The poisoned four, looking like paralytics under anesthesia, are unsuccessfully trying to fight off the giant wolves that have flooded the room, and then this cross between the Nazgul and the Dementor arrives and completes what they started. Emotions overflow, often finding the most bizarre expressions.

You try to fix the situation by summoning more powerful pawns, but there are not enough crystals for everything. The crystals are used to open portals and to identify the things found. You score on the passage and start to swing stupidly on resurgent monsters, cherishing sweet pictures of revenge. The saga of a hero in search of a dragon turns into an ordinary diabloid. Okay, not quite ordinary. With wanderings through the gloomy galleries and echoing halls of the ancient island. With devilishly strong and dangerous creatures as opponents. With the re-passage of already familiar areas in search of unnoticed chests and unfinished monsters.

A Rude Awakening

Look for an NPC named Mercedes in the defensive town, and agree to spend the night here. Then you will wake up the next morning, in which the hydra will destroy the town.

Start attacking her heads as she advances through the town. If you are a fighter, then climb on her head, where you can deal more damage. If you are a shooter, then it is better to keep your distance in order to aim at her head. You won't need to deal damage to one head to defeat her, you will know if you were able to defeat her after she can't lift her heads.

If your fight drags on, then Mercedes will come to the rescue, giving you a special bottle that you can throw at the hydra's head.

Once the heads have swallowed the bottle, you will need to keep hitting the head that swallowed it until it explodes inside it.

As soon as he falls, climb down and aim for his heart again. If the situation repeats, then again take on the balista and shoot at him until he is again on the ground. Bring the battle to a victorious end.

No matter how many times Dragon's Dogma gets re-released, one thing remains the same: it's weird. I really want to summarize all my impressions in this way, without indulging in a tedious analysis of all the gears, because the game will still go against any expectations. It is strange - and you need to try it yourself to understand it.

Yes, it's an RPG. No, forget about the plot. It exists, but in a primitive form and with a clear misunderstanding of how to make good story. Enjoy another interpretation of the trick with the redneck who, in the midst of haymaking, becomes the chosen one and runs to save the world: you know, an invincible dragon has flown in, made our hero immortal, cursed in his own way and sits somewhere there, threatens humanity, for which he must be killed . This, in general, is the whole essence of the local mess, and it can only intrigue someone who has never seen high-quality fantasy.

In fairness, many colleagues in the genre use a similar idea - take at least Dragon Age: Origins, to which the above is more suitable than we would like. The difference is that other projects diligently beat the hackneyed motif, disguise it with interesting details and branches, and Dragon's Dogma offers nothing. There is only a dry and flat concept here: you are cooler and smarter than everyone else, and evil evil will not destroy itself. As an excuse for everything that happens, it still went all the way, but definitely does not deserve close attention. The situation improves a little towards the end, and even then thanks to a curious lore, which practically does not manifest itself until the epilogue.

The game generally cares little about the usual values ​​for role-playing games. A world worked out to the smallest detail, carefully drawn characters, dialogues with literary flourishes - who needs them? Only the key characters have a similarity of characters, of which there are ten at most, and only they are able to more or less fully communicate with the hero. The rest of the NPCs are cardboard fools, roaming around absolutely sterile locations and issuing the same duty remark. The degree of interest in the local conversations still exceeds the figures dead rising, but one can hardly be proud of it.

Food supplies tend to spoil right in your pockets, and therefore it is better to send them to treatment as soon as possible.

Obviously, in adverse conditions, the study of the surroundings loses all meaning. Despite the decent size of the map, the game simply has nothing to encourage pioneers - at best, a long journey will delight you with a modest camp in the outskirts, where the most intelligent creature will be a merchant. However, there is no need to look far for examples of the criminal emptiness of the environment: it is enough to get to the only big city and appreciate the beauty of its lifeless labyrinths, connecting rare functional points like a black market or a hotel. No fresh gossip on the streets, no colorful townspeople, no spontaneous incidents - even, scary to say, Morrowind portrayed civilization much more convincingly. After this, you once again thank the developers for finalizing the fast travel system, it is very useful here.

Sometimes, however, in the wastelands you can find a quest or two - and finally fall into despair. As part of the plot, we are spoiled with full-fledged tasks with a setting and distinct activities, but the side activity is almost entirely borrowed from the worst MMOs about killing 45 birds with one stone and collecting 15 herbs. Only if the latter try to sweeten the pill with at least a couple of lines of an accompanying mini-story, Dark Arisen shamelessly pops a routine without comment and motivation - that's all, they say. Such orders do not even have a “customer” - they are taken on the bulletin board, and completed on their own, remotely.

It is all the more offensive that the claim for something more is still noticeable. Single sidequests are accompanied by unique dialogues, characters and events, and a couple even flirt with the non-linearity of the passage and the consequences of decisions - but there are so few of them that they have no effect on the role-playing. Yes, and it is difficult to call them exciting, again, due to the lack of work on the game world: it would be much more interesting to look for, say, the girlfriend of the protagonist, if the authors devote some time to their relationship.

The epic footage goes especially well with the Lord of the Rings soundtrack - the game music is good, but it rarely sounds and is not always accurate.

The game prefers to really shine in the gameplay field. That's what makes you forget about all the troubles and mistakes of designers. Dragon's Dogma is like a lite version Dark Souls, in which the player just hangs out somewhere in the lower segment of the food chain, but has a slightly better chance of surviving among goblins with dimensionless lifebars.

Of primary interest is combat system. She, unlike the creation of From Software, is not too fond of deep tactics and is generally quite arcade-like, which from time to time resembles as beautiful as the old The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. You don’t need to be a master of lunges and have a black belt in rolls to successfully hit back the local bestiary – you just need to timely alternate basic attacks and special moves, the arsenal of which is constantly expanding, and not be exposed to the blows of especially large opponents. Of course, this is not a level. devilmay Cry, which the fan community is increasingly drawn to compare with, but the combat instantly captivates with the dynamics of what is happening, ease of development and diversity not inherent in RPGs.

This, however, does not mean that the battles lack depth. On the contrary, subtleties pop up one after another, especially when facing bosses. Fighting them is a separate source of fun and challenge in Dragon's Dogma. Each representative of the menagerie has its own vulnerabilities, the search and exploitation of which is the purpose of such skirmishes. Some weaknesses, like, for example, luminous stones in the body of a golem, are immediately visible, while others will have to be dug up empirically, setting fire to the griffin's feathers and firing dark magic at the dragon. At the same time, class differences also affect the approach to the boss: if it is not difficult for a robber with a bow to finish off a cyclops from a long distance, then some paladin will have to literally climb over the giant’s body and stab his eye with a sword.

There is an unexpected amount of equipment here. You can't try everything in one sitting.

Fortunately, the game allows you to try everything at once, because the next in the list of its merits is a wonderful pumping of the character. Initially, there are only three mediocre professions to choose from, and the introductory chapters force you to play as a warrior, rogue or mage - but soon after that, the opportunity to change the specialization to any other one opens up without losing progress. This is an insanely cool find that gives extreme flexibility to builds, introduces total variability in the process and leaves a loophole for players who are disappointed in the chosen direction. Moreover, periodically juggling with profiles is even useful, since they determine the proportions of the growth of certain characteristics. To put it simply, if you suddenly need to increase the stamina reserves for your magician, it would be better to become a ranger at least a few levels, because the increase in this parameter is many times higher. They are also encouraged to experiment by the presence of unique perks that open only when pumping a certain class, but are universal in use.

And to make you feel less lonely, Dragon's Dogma introduces an unusual pawn system. Companions are called such an offensive nickname here, of which there can be no more than three in your team: you create one yourself, the remaining two you catch freaks grown by other players from the network base. All of them are absolutely faceless as actors, but they are infinitely effective and independent in battle. They grab small enemies, divert the attention of especially ferocious individuals, climb the manes of large creatures, and generally act in unison without any orders. Although the work of the AI ​​cannot be called flawless, it quite successfully simulates the teamwork required when facing serious opponents. The possibility of full control is not enough only at the most critical moments - when the magician forgets to heal a mortal wound, all that remains is to press the "Help" button.

However, it is not worth getting attached to partners. Of the whole booth, only your personal pawn climbs the career ladder with you - guests from other worlds are always static and maintain the level they have reached at the time of hiring. This is another plus in favor of the variability of the gameplay: the party is easily customizable and adapts to the needs of a particular situation.

Another interesting feature of the pawns is their constant negotiations. Fortunately for many who played on consoles, the PC version finally added the option to turn off the voice acting of satellites, and yet the fact is noteworthy. Despite the lack of characters, they actively comment on what is happening, but they do it like uniform autists, over and over again chattering obvious and, without exaggeration, stupid phrases. For those who didn't catch the first 76 times, they will definitely repeat that wolves hunt in packs, and on a long hike they will kindly remind you of the map in your pocket. In addition, a dialogue icon may suddenly pop up above one of the goofs, hinting at the presence of important thoughts about the recent triumph. "Quest accomplished, master" is the strongest thought you can count on.

And everything would be fine, only Dragon’s Dogma explains in the worst way how to play all this. The tutorial here is an unnecessarily long contextual presentation on the topic “100 things that are done here the same way as in all other games”, while a lot of more significant questions remain behind the scenes. You have to use trial and error to find out what quests look like and what the essence of pawns is, to discover completely unlit systems of crafting and upgrades, to find out after creating a character that his height and weight affect some characteristics there, at the end of the passage to accidentally subtract, that NPCs have daily routines and hidden love lines, and much more. The introduction to party management is completely enchanting: they teach you how to pick up pawns correctly at the training ground with wooden dummies that can be easily broken without really understanding what was discussed. The coach will still approvingly pat on the shoulder and say: “You see how important the choice of pawns is!”. It’s not that we need to be led by the hand through all the hardships of adaptation, but it’s extremely boring and uncomfortable to understand the local mechanics, and it’s easy to miss a lot at the right moment and frankly screw up your further passage.

Because of this, the first two or three hours of Dragon’s Dogma is a whirlwind wandering around the corners of a few villages in the hope of insight. In our case, acquaintance with the game went something like this. Having first thrown the village healer off the cliff, we went along the only road and saw how the guards easily killed the monster that we were supposed to defeat. After throwing the guards off another cliff, we returned to the village and met a charismatic black man named gg. Throwing gg off a new cliff, we realized that it was actually a pawn of another player (it was worth guessing earlier, m?), And for about forty minutes the plot character was waiting for us, hiding in the darkest tent and not marked on the map in any way. Around the same time, the action began to acquire the rudiments of meaning and draw the picture described in this article on the horizon, although it could not have done without a few more breaks. All in all, it was a tough journey.

As for the features of transferring to a PC, everything is in comparative order. Capcom swore with all the hadoukens that a “stunning visual” awaits us and backed up their promises with quite decent screenshots - in the end, age took its toll as expected. Even in 2012, the game did not look ultra-modern, yielding to the beauties of Oblivion, which had celebrated its five-year anniversary by that time, and now you can’t even make candy out of it with modest graphic edits. If anything can knock you off your feet, it's unforgivably ugly sprites, infamously oversized fonts, and goblins appearing a meter away from the protagonist. They screwed, of course, a rich assortment of settings and support for sky-high resolutions, but in the era of adequate ports, this is no longer surprising.

But on the management, by God, they could sit a little longer and redraw the archaic interface, which beats off half the pleasure of the game with a nightmarish design. Keyboard workers were given an exclusive function of binding items to hotkeys, as if apologizing for the fact that there is still no direct access to the map, task log and equipment - all these functions need to be picked out from the pause menu, which in fact is much worse than in words . Intuitiveness does not add even a gamepad in the hands, although it definitely muffles the discomfort.

But the main thing is that Dragon's Dogma is tempting to return. At first, you swear for a long time, they say, everything is crooked and askew, you wonder how it is generally played correctly, you scream from the quirks of Japanese game design and leave the game with a feeling of extreme satiety, and then you still catch yourself thinking that it would be nice to finish it off tomorrow evening griffin and save up for a pretty helmet. Naturally, new opponents take the place of the feathered beast, the equipment is getting better, and the time spent in the game goes beyond all decent. And this is good.
