How to unlock Mystic Spearhand in Dragon’s Dogma 2

The fastest way to unlock the Mystic Spearhand vocation occurs a few hours into Dragon’s Dogma 2, after you’ve reached Vernworth and completed at least one mission for Captain Brant. I recommend taking care of Monster Culling, the most straightforward task that Brant gives you, which only requires you to travel to a few locations and kill some mobs. After doing this (or any of the other missions), the sidequestReadvent of Calamitywill become available. This quest only triggers when you take a break from Brant and return to the village of Melve.

Unlocking the Mystic Spearhand vocation by speaking with Sigurd in Dragon’s Dogma 2.

Sigurd won’t stay in Melve forever, and it’s worth noting that Readvent of Calamity is amissable quest that can be discontinuedif you progress to the second act of Dragon’s Dogma 2 too quickly, which commences once you attend the Coronation in the main story quest The Feast of Deception.

If for whatever reason you missed out on speaking to Sigurd, you still have options. If you’ve yet to reach Battahl but have completed theScaly Invaderssidequest, which requires you to defeat saurian attackers inHarve Village, you can find Sigurd hanging out in his coastal hut on the village’s eastern edge. Alternatively, if you’ve already entered Battahl, you can find Sigurd at the entrance ofDragonsbreath Tower, where he will once again aid you in battling the pock-marked false dragon, which has alighted at the tower’s tip.

While it’s fastest to locate him in Melve, Sigurd shows up repeatedly throughout the game, and you can find him in these two locations if you haven’t already. |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Capcom
