Vocations are Dragon’s Dogma 2 classes that allow you to use certain abilities during combat. You start with multiple Vocations at the beginning of the game, but you still have to unlock several as you progress through the campaign.
You have to go out of your way to unlock them, which means progressing through the story and upturning every rock to track them down. Through our campaign work, we’ve figured out how to get every Vocation available in Dragon’s Dogma 2. Hopefully for players, these will assist you in finding the perfect class for your character or companion pawn.
How to get all Vocations in Dragon’s Dogma 2
There are 10 Vocations you can learn in Dragon’s Dogma 2. Four are only available to your character, the Arisen, at the start of the game and, depending on what Vocation you choose, the Pawns in your party will vary based on your playstyle and what support you need during combat.
The other six Vocations are hiding in your campaign, and some are more difficult to unlock than others. Here’s what you need to know about how to unlock every Vocation in Dragon’s Dogma 2.
All starting Vocations in Dragon’s Dogma 2
The four starting Vocations every player in Dragon’s Dogma 2 has at the beginning of the game are Fighter, Archer, Mage, and Thief. You have to choose one of these four at the start of your playthrough, but you can change your Vocation to another whenever you want by visiting a Vocation Guild member who should appear in towns. You want to look for the Vocation Guild symbol on your map, indicated by a pair of a swords and a crest. Switching Vocations does not cost money.
How to unlock Warrior in Dragon’s Dogma 2
The Warrior is one of the earlier Vocations you can unlock in Dragon’s Dogma 2. Make your way to the Vernworth Vocation Guild and speak with Klaus. He shares how he can teach you the Warrior Vocation but needs a greatsword to give you. You can complete the Vocation Frustration quest he gives you, which requires visiting the goblin’s lair northwest of Vernworth at Trevo Mine to retrieve the greatsword, which is in one of the chests hidden there, and bring it back to him. This Vocation is available for you and your Pawn.
How to unlock Sorcerer in Dragon’s Dogma 2
Like the Warrior Vocation, the Sorcerer is another early Vocation you can unlock in Dragon’s Dogma 2 and is associated with the Vocation Frustration quest. You must venture to the Trevo Mine to fight off the goblins, search the various chests inside this area to find the archistaff, and bring it back to Klaus at the Vernworth Vocation Guild to unlock the class. You can learn this Vocation, and so can your pawn.
How to unlock Mystic Spearhand in Dragon’s Dogma 2
The Mystic Spearhand can be a challenging Vocation to track down, since you need to wait until a second dragon attacks Melve, the city you find south of the Borderwatch Outpost after you’ve gone to Vernworth. The dragon that appears should be a plague dragon, unlike the one that turned you into the Arisen. After the battle, Sigurd will speak with your character, and teach you to use the Mystic Spearhand Vocation. Only the Arisen can become a Mystic Spearhand, which means you cannot teach this Vocation to your Pawn.
How to unlock Warfarer in Dragon’s Dogma 2
The Warfarer is one of the more difficult Vocations to learn in Dragon’s Dogma 2, and only the Arisen can learn it. You can unlock it by speaking with Lomund at the Hot Springs. He requires you bring three Newt Liqours to him, and then he teaches you how to become a Wayfarer.
How to unlock Magick Archer in Dragon’s Dogma 2
The Magick Archer Vocation won’t become available until you’ve unlocked access to the beastren kingdom Battahl. Once you do, locate a dwarf called Gautstafr in Drabnir’s Grotto and complete his side quest, Put a Spring in Thy Step. Do so, and you’ll be able to accompany him home and, eventually, escort him to some hot springs. Be sure to stick with him since, once he’s at the hot springs, his wife will reward you with the Magick Archer Vocation.
How to unlock Trickster in Dragon’s Dogma 2
The Trickster vocation is extremely difficult to narrow down in Dragon’s Dogma 2. How players unlock it appears to vary. For example, during my playthrough, I received the Trickster vocation when speaking with an NPC for a main story quest, and an enemy attempted to attack me. One of my colleagues unlocked the Trickster when opening up a chest, and another unlocked it when they reached the final level of Thief.
