Gear Transmog has become one of the most sought-after features in most RPGs, letting you customize the visual appearance of your equipped armor and weapons without sacrificing their stats/base properties. In a game like Dragon's Dogma 2, it's one of the most requested features, with players even making their own mod to access it. Many people may not even (understandably) care, but for some of us, achieving our preferred fashion for the main controllable character has always been a guilty-pleasure moment.

So you finally mustered the courage to enter the forbidden territory of Norgan in Dragon's Dogma 2 to investigate rumors of another Arisen roaming the lands. Well, your first steps in this investigation won't be easy, as this frozen wasteland is home to some of the deadliest snowstorms you've ever seen. So much so that they make exploration

Not long after you make your way into Norgan in Dragon's Dogma 2, the Arisen and their posse will soon come across the Fallen Dragon, but without making a dent in it, it is time to retreat and find some answers to dispel the creature's undead immunity. After learning the whereabouts of an elusive figure known as the Sage in the "Seeking the Sage" main quest, you soon come to learn that our Sage is actually (spoiler alert) another Sphinx.

So you've finally entered the treacherous, frozen landscape of Norgan in Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen and are slowly working your way through the DLC at your own pace. While I'm sure it's fun to see what Kento Kinoshita and his team have cooked up, a few of you might be dying to find the new skills advertised for each Vocation in the Dark Arisen DLC.

While Dragon's Dogma 2's base game had its share of memorable bouts, its endgame was lackluster and offered little incentive to keep playing. Well, the wizards at Capcom answered back in full force with the release of Dragon's Dogma 2's Dark Arisen

A large chunk of your time in Dragon's Dogma 2's Dark Arisen expansion will be spent testing your mettle against the new foes and beasties in Norgan's snowy region. Whether it's the elusive yet ferocious Black Dog or your first bout against the Fimbl dragon, your gear will prove most valuable throughout the DLC, especially on Hard Mode.
