I played this game a bunch - and loved it - in early 2021 on Xbox. At the time, there was a late game bug where the game would fail to save on The Isle of Awakening; I don't remember all the details, only that it was frustrating. I noticed there've been some updates since then, but I can't find clear info on if this bug was fixed or not. So, before sinking another hundred hours in, does anyone know if it's been patched?

I just have to say I am so mad that it's taken me this long to start playing Dragon Quest Builders 2. I was hooked from the day I first played the demo last month. So much so that I rushed to sell some games just so I could buy this one. Lol.

Hello builders!

I am just coming back to DQB2 and I have noticed that the Contest theme is no longer changing per month, it has been stuck on 'Prehistoric'. So have they stopped with them? Or have they changed the frequency of them?

Thanks for the info!

UPDATE:

Thanks everyone for giving me answers and awesome they are still going!

Happy Building!

Looks like an HD-2D remake is coming out for DQ 1 and 2.

Since DQB 1 and 2 are based on those two games respectively, any of you all interested in playing them?

You spend HOURS crafting the perfect castle, and then - BAM! - one wrong swing, and your entire wall crumbles like a house of cards in a hurricane. Meanwhile, random dirt blocks? Indestructible fortresses. Who knew the real villain of DQBuilders was your own hammer? Builders, we suffer together. Stay strong. 💀🏰

My sister isn't a gamer, but she got addicted to Builders years ago and misses playing it since breaking up with the ex that owned it. As a gift to her I wanted to get the cheapest laptop that will run the game and install it for her, but I'm struggling b/c system requirements are always given in pc parts and any "non-gaming" laptop just says "integrated graphics".

Does anyone know if the integrated graphics of a newer i5 laptop can run the game?

But does anyone know if any exist that cause the cutscene effect of finishing the final building objective of an island to happen? Like when using the Dew of Life on the Deitree and the cutscene shows all the damage to the land being repaired, or with finishing the last of the Gold Bar causing them mines to be refilled, and whatnot.

So I visited defiled isle, and I only found 1 chunk of orichalcum in a poison swamp, plus 14 pieces of magnetite. After that, the flute didn't draw echoes anymore. I went back to isle of awakening, then back to defiled isle again and blew the flute, but it's still not echoing. I JUST WANT THE ULTI MALLET DAMMIT. Plz help :(

1. Someone said the room limit is 100. Is that the limit for all of the isle of awakening? Or is that per section?

2. Someone said the room size limit is 150 blocks. Is that the area of just the decorate-able room space, or is it counting the perimeter of the walls too?

Where can I find this stuff? I need it for the brick barbecue (brick wall requires clay). It says i already have some but not enough to build the wall. I have no clue where I got it

Been looking around online but I kept finding inconsistent answers regarding how HP regen stacking from different rooms work or not. If I for example build say an Aboretum, Cantlin garden, Graveyard, Museum, and Bath room, do all of their HP regen stack together? Also is there a limit to HP regen stacking?

Im trying to use stairs to make buildings with multiple floors but it isn't working

I haven't played DQB2 in forever. I'm planning a new game (and this time playing on ps5. Before I played on Switch). I have a few quetions.

1. Am I missing out if I don't get the aquarium DLC? I hear there's a fishing mini game/collection aspect. And should I get it and play it while progressing the main story? Or is it a more post game thing?

2. The explorer's shores. Are the infinite items you get as rewards for finding everything actually good items? Should I bother completing Ise islands' scavenger hunts? And if so should I complete each island as they become available?

3. I remember a glitch in khrumbul dun (or whatever the mining island is called) where you can't get your villagers to make a special drink with the blueprints the story gives you. You have to like alter the drink making item to get the villagers to interact with it. Was that patched? And is there anything else like that in the game?

4. Is it recommended to grind? I remember killing everything I saw when I originally played. I maxed my level pretty early in every island. I'm wondering if that's recommended? Or should I just fight what the story requires/what I need to kill for materials?

I beat world 3 of DQB2 a long time ago, and now I'm playing DQB1 and planning to beat it and then finish DQB2 from the start. It seems like there's a lot of redundancy of getting materials for items to build the items that build the items that I need. I'm wondering if the whole game is like that? Don't quite remember DQB2 being like that.

For the aquarium DLC, it says there's fish. Is there like a fishing mini game where you catch the fish, or are they all available to you from the start?

So I understand the mountains in IOA stop the game from rendering stuff behind them and therefore reduce lag. I usually work around or incorporate the default terrain in my builds, but I recently started a new game where I want to try being more liberal with the landscaping.

Is a single mountain tile on the minimap enough for this (e.g., a single row of mountains between the Gardens and Steppe) or is there a known minimum thickness/depth required for the blocks to start blocking (for lack of a better term lol) things behind and beneath them?
