Magick Archer sounds like it straight up decided to add some more flair to the term “magic,” and it earns that extra ‘k’ because it’s one of the most interesting classes to play in Dragon’s Dogma 2. This vocation brings a new meaning to “arrow dynamics,” combining the abilities of an archer with the wow factor of magic. Rather than the typical arrow-flinging business, you launch magical arrows out of a stringless bow.
Though Magick Archer is not available from the start, you have to unlock this vocation by completing the “Put a Spring in Thy Step” quest in the Agamen Volcanic Island region. Our DD2 guide explains how to unlock the Magick Archer in Dragon’s Dogma 2 to help your pawns and smash enemies with strong elemental damage.
How to Unlock the Magick Archer in Dragon’s Dogma 2
First, you’ll have to go to the southern part of the map from Battahl and then travel southeast towards a location known for its volcanic activity. This path will lead you to the side quest “Put a Spring in Thy Step,” which is crucial for unlocking the Magick Archer vocation.
To reach this location, it’s better to use an Oxcart from Vernworth and head straight to the southern territories. As you go through this area, you’ll encounter a cave network that houses a dwarf named Gaustafr closer to the campsite on the western end. This location comes by going through Drabnir’s Grotto dungeon when coming from the Battahl. You need to help him in the cure by bringing the three wildflowers he asked for, then go to his home and escort him to the hot spring town of Geyser Hamlet.
The quest will be complete once you reach the hot springs. After reaching his home, you’ll meet the man’s wife, named Cliodhna who reveals herself as the Magick Archer-Maister and grants you the Magick Archer vocation along with the Spellbow’s Paradox, a unique weapon that symbolizes your new class. After this encounter, go to any Vocation Guild to switch classes and obtain your free set.
Being a Magick Archer means mixing up archery skills with magic for explosive results. You can snipe enemies from a distance and cast spells that support and revive your teammates. Just a heads up, this class loves to chug stamina, so keep an eye on your resources. For those who like to explore, get into strategic fights, and enjoy a mix of magic with archery, going for the Magick Archer is worth the effort in Dragon’s Dogma 2.
