You’ll have to put in a bit of legwork if you want to unlock all thevocationsinDragon’s Dogma 2. You’ll start off with four, but you can unlock another six as you play through the story. So whether you want to be a burly fighter who wants to jump into the middle of the action, or you’d rather hang back at the sidelines, picking off enemies from a safe distance, there’s a class for you.
In this guide, I’ll cover what you need to know about each Dragon’s Dogma 2 vocation, including how to unlock each one, and how to switch between them.

Four vocations are automatically available for you at the beginning of the game. You’ll choose which one you want to start with in character creation, but you can buy others as soon as you reach the first inn at Borderwatch Outpost.
The starting vocations are:
Each vocation needs100 Dcp—or Discipline—to unlock and once purchased, you can switch between them for no additional cost at any Vocation Guild—or innkeeper if they have the option. Dcp is earned through completing quests and killing enemies so you’ll naturally acquire more as you play.
Each vocation has its ownWeapon SkillsandCore Skills, and you’ll need more Dcp to unlock these. The number each vocation starts with is limited, but more will become available as you rank up.

Once you reach the capital of Vernworth—don’t worry, the main quests lead you here—you will find your first dedicated Vocation Guild housed just beneath the inn. Speak to the guildhead, and he’ll mention other vocations, but you need a couple of items before you can learn them. Naturally, this sets you up with a quest,Vocation Frustration. Here’s what you need to do:
The armorer, Roderick, is just a short walk from the Guild Hall so go and speak to him to learn the whereabouts of the stolen items. Once it’s been marked on your map, you can make your way to that location.
Trevo Mineisn’t particularly far, but there are a few enemies you’ll need to deal with along the way. If you want to rest up before entering, there’s a campfire on the path that leads north, just before you reach it.
The mine it’s itself is infested with goblins and the path inside is a large loop, so don’t worry too much about which path to take. You’ll find thegreatswordinside an ornate chest with a locked door—don’t worry, you don’t need to open this—and thearchistaffis found at the end of a short corridor to the north of the area with two wooden walkways. Look for the entrance on the bottom level. Once you have both items, you can head back to the Vocation Guild and hand over both weapons to unlock the Warrior and Sorcerer vocations.

You can unlock the Trickster vocation as soon as you reach Battahl. Head towards theReverent Shrineeast of Enoa’Battahl Forest, in the northern part of the region. There you’ll meet the oracleLuz. As well as giving you some quest guidance like all oracles, talking to her will unlock the Trickster vocation.
You’ll also eventually have to head to this shrine as part of the main story, so there’s also no problem if you decide to wait.

There are instances where the post-fight conversation might not trigger. If you missed Sigurd after the fight, you can still find him in Melve, unless the village’s leader, Ulrika, has left the settlement as part of the Readvent of Calamity quest. If that happens before you talk to him, you’ll find him in the Coastal Hut in the eastern part ofHarve Village.

This vocation is unlockable once you gain access to theAgamen Volcano Islandto the south of Battahl, either through the main story and Bakbattahl palace, or via the Drabbnir’s Grotto cave in the south. If you go via the grotto, you’ll meet an old man calledGautstafron the road who asks you to pick some wildflowers for him to relieve his back pain. Help him out and he’ll invite you to his home on a little island just to the north.
When you arrive you’ll meet his wife,Cliodnha, who is very suspicious of you. Gaustafr will throw out his back again, fetching your reward, which is when you can talk to him and offer to escort him to the hot springs in theVolcanic Island Campto the east. If you do this, Cliodnha will appear and thank you for helping her husband. She reveals that she’s a Magick Archer and teaches you the vocation.
