othing can stop your path as quickly as a river in Dragon’s Dogma 2 and sometimes you might just want to cross water without dying. Considering how deadly any random river can be, I’ll outline how you can bypass it with one ability.
Dragon’s Dogma 2: How to Cross Water Without Dying
The only way to cross water without dying is to use the Levitate ability on a Mage Vocation character. Levitate will let any Mage with a high enough Vocation to simply float in mid-air after holding the jump button. You can then continue to rise or simply move forward without utilizing the ground below. With an easy hold of the jump, you can easily cross rivers and deep ponds, and your party will be able to open chests much easier when they are on a perch.
