Dragon’s Dogma 2offers the Arisenmultiple Vocationsto choose from, each varying your play style, stats, and the Weapon Skills you’ll be able to use. At the start of the game, the first few Vocations will be fairly straightforward, usually being either a physical damage Vocation or a spell-caster.
As the player progresses, they’ll soon unlock access to some of the more complex Vocations, such as the Mystic Spearhand. This Vocation combines both the physical damage of a duospear along with various Magicks to diversify the player’s damage against enemies. One of the better weapons players can get in the base game for the Mystic Spearhand isthe Dead Ringer; here’s where to find it.

Players can purchase or find the Dead Ringer. For those looking for a free route to finding this weapon, it has thepossibility of dropping from a Lesser Dragon.One of the guaranteed locations of a Lesser Dragon is at the top ofDragonsbreath Tower,found towards the southwestern point of Battahl. While Lesser Dragons are a bit rarer throughout the main game, they will spawn more often and become a recurring enemy in theUnmoored World.A Lesser Dragon will also appear as part of the Advent Of Calamity quest early in the game. While this Lesser Dragon is scripted to leave shortly into the fight, it can be killed from afar with a ranged weapon so as not to trigger its leave and kill it, with the Dead Ringer being a potential drop.
Another guaranteed yet expensive method of obtaining this weapon is by making your way to the final region of the base game,Volcanic Island.AtVolcanic Island Camp there will be a blacksmith who sells this weapon for 56,000 gold.Players can reach Volcanic Island Camp as early as they want bysneaking into Battahland continuing south to find and pass through Drabnir’s Grotto. This is a high-level dungeon, but players can run past any enemies to make it to the final region and get their endgame weapon.
