Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen Walkthrough and Guide

This is the first area in Bitterblack Isle and will contain enemies that will test your party's strength. If you're having difficulties dealing with the enemies here, consider leveling up your character and main pawn before proceeding since everything will just become progressively harder as you go along. Consider the following tips:

1. Have a good supply of Flasks of Oil in your inventory. You'll be using your lantern almost all the time you're exploring the labyrinth.

2. Bring lots of curatives. You'll need them.

3. Follow the game's advice that you should be at least LV70 before attempting the place.

4. Consider using a ranged character and employing a hardened fighter to take the brunt and act as a tank. Most enemies, especially the large ones tend to be really a pain to deal with, unless you have top-tier equipment, skills and weapon.

5. Stock on Rift Crystals. Removing curses from high quality Bitterblack equipment you'll find requires Rift Crystals. Further upgrading wyrmforged equipment (those equipment with a red dragon icon) requires RC as well.

6. Combine herbs to more powerful curatives.

7. Loot every chest you can find. This is a sure-fire way for you to obtain high-quality gear.
