In an earlier article, we mentioned how the Thief vocation in Dragon’s Dogma 2 is the best one of the lot. If you did pick that vocation, there is one ability you absolutely must need, here’s where you can friend Formless Feint in Dragon’s Dogma 2.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 – Where to Find Formless Feint

During the main campaign in Dragon’s Dogma 2, Captain Brant will give give the players multiple story quests to complete. Not all of these must be completed to progress the story, though it is recommended, as some of them have incredible rewards. One such quest is to investigate the false Solvran mission, which has players venture far east to a Nameless Village.

The only problem is while sticking to the road, the way to get there is completely blocked by a landslide. So, how do you get on the other side? Well, you should have gone past a fire camp while making your way to the blocked road, so backtrack there and head to it. From there, if you look past and below it, you should see a new path you can follow. This path will get you to the Nameless Village. We’ve marked it on the map below.

Once you arrive, head all the way up the path to the building and go inside. A person is standing inside, and you’ll need to talk to a person here, and he’ll give you Blades of the Pyre.

Now, there are a couple of different things you can do. The first is to sleep at the inn until nightfall. If you go this route, you should see three NPCs heading up to the building when you go outside. Follow them, but not too closely, and they will take you to a secret lair.

Alternatively, you could just go to the secret lair immediately without waiting until nightfall. It’s outside, to the left of the building, with the guy who gave you the Blades of the Pyre ability. Looking at the map above, you can see it marked with a cavern symbol.

Inside this secret liar is a trial you must complete. It’s very easy as all it involves is you jumping around.

At the end, you’ll discover the secret hideout of the Thief guild. Talk to this character, and he will give you Formless Feint.

Now, if you are wondering why this ability is considered to be the best one for the Thief, and probably out of any other Vocation ability, it’s because it makes you practically untouchable. Upon using it, your character will be surrounded by smoke. During combat, if any enemy attacks, your character will auto-dodge. This works for nearly any attack in the game, and you can follow up quickly with an attack, making fights super easy to win, including bosses.

The only downside is that this ability consumes stamina while it’s activated, so you’ll need to keep an eye on that during combat.

Again, this is easily the thief’s best ability to learn, which also happens to make it one of, if not the best vocation, in Dragon’s Dogma 2. So if you plan on maining the thief, grab this ability as soon as possible.
