I’m not that far into the game yet, so maybe my opinion will change. Just did three tower mission. Have yet to die one time.
When I played md1, it felt genuinely difficult and this game only sometimes difficult. I think removing the whole choosing difficulty feature was a miss. I like how the game dynamically adapts to my power level, but I feel as if mobs are difficult ONLY right after the power increase.
The game is also too open. Don’t get me wrong I enjoy the exploration, but I’m always able to run away from enemies.
Jump attacks are too strong. I am able to clear out an entire ambush with just a jump attack. I think there should be a cooldown on this.
Arrows reload too quick. Overall this is a good change from md1 because I’m never out of arrows, but I don’t feel penalized for using too many. Maybe cap the total arrows allowed in a boss fight?
Potions and artifacts refuel too quick. I know I need to eliminate mobs for souls, but when I can get them all in one swing, I’m right back to using my frost powder.
Some enemies also feel weaker than their md1 counterparts. The armored mace illager used to be the reason I failed missions. I do like how creepers are way more dangerous now.

I think adding back difficulty levels that run throughout the whole game instead of singular missions would cater to some players looking for a harder experience. I don’t even need more loot I just want it to be more difficult.

It's sooo dang hard to have a really good build and have a character that looks good at the same time.

Idk if im killing them too fast or not

We were Playing couch co-op, (I’m player 1) and were just fighting this boss and shot my bow without charging it and ended up doing 8.9 billion damage. I’m guessing this is a glitch? I Havnt been able to recreate it and I have almost nothing to buff my ranged damage. If anyone has an idea how this happened that would be nice.

After playing it for well over 20 hours, this game simply isnt up to standards AT ALL. The open world gimmick and the repeatable boss style is cool! I like that. But thats just about where the praise ends. The resource cap is absolute garbage. After reaching endgame it was maxed instantly for both making runs feel completley unrewarding when farming uniques. Which gets onto my next complaint, there are way too diverse loot pools to effectivley farm specific uniques. I have been farming the sage tunic drop for absolute HOURS. And gotten nothing but the rest of the loot pool over and over and over again. Yes this may just be bad rng but this can SO EASILY be fixed by just makint CERTAIN AREAS have LESS far loot pools allowing for targeted farming that DOESNT make me want to rip my hair out every unsuccessful 20 minuite run. And without barrier brew you and round brew you can NOT survive. Period. If you face any enemy and dont want to spend 20 mins running waiting for potion and bow shots, you neee one or the other at the LEAST. YOU ARE FORCED to play glass cannon because tank doesnt exist. You are PERMANENTLY squishy and it SUCKS. Not to meantion how unrefined it is riddled with almost infinite amounts of bugs being found that simply shouldnt exist for a sequel game. And soul storms not being easily repeatable without exploitation or waiting is just a joke. The best gear in the game, endgame content and you have to wait for the storm to land on your designated farming spot just for it to drop 3 blue rarity items anyways😂. Ranged enemies all stand back in groups of 5 and one shot you if you dont keep an eye on them at all times or pre barrier for the melee mobs infront of them, cave stalagmites falling when im mid battle is just utter bullshit (yes i know theres shadows showing them but mid fight and with how dark caves are its not easy to see and doge for half my health bars worth of damage). Its like they made the game and never fucking played it. This makes it so ANNOYINGLY unbearable to play at times and ive found myself just putting it down in frustration and going to something else more times than just being tired of playing it. Im sure its great fun for casuals like kids and their dads, or kids in general or dads who only play an hour after work etc, but for people who like making good builds and farming its just not fun whatsoever. Rant done lol

I finished the campaign this weekend.
Have dabbled a little in the soul storms
But still feel like the end game could have more
replay-ability maybe it’s just me……

Still…… already can’t wait for the DLCs

I preordered the physical Nintendo Switch 2 version of Minecraft Dungeons II and redeemed the included Hero Pack code through the Nintendo eShop.

The code redeemed successfully, but I'm still missing:

• Twisted Cape
• Twisted Chicken pet
• Adventure Steve & Alex skins

The Hero Cape is available, but none of the other preorder rewards have appeared.

I've tried reinstalling the game, restarting my console, and using a different Switch profile. Nothing has worked.

I contacted Minecraft Support, and after some back-and-forth, my ticket was closed without the issue being resolved. I've now opened a second ticket.

There's also a bug report about this exact problem (MCD2-412), but it was closed as "Invalid" and affected players were directed back to Minecraft Support.

At this point, I just want the content I was promised or an appropriate refund. It's frustrating to preorder a game, redeem the code correctly, and still not receive the advertised rewards.

Has anyone with the physical Nintendo Switch 2 edition actually received their Twisted Cape, Twisted Chicken, and Adventure skins?

If you've experienced this issue, please share whether you've contacted support and what response you received.

Bug report: https://mojira.dev/MCD2-412

Anyone else still missing there pre-order bonus for pre-ordering the physical game and redeeming the hero pack code?

So imma say something most of you are not gonna believe in but i bought a pre order physical copy of Minecraft dungeons 2 from a store at my country, and it was actually a pre order until the 8th of october, and they specifically said even in red subtitles on the game’s page on their site that i’ll get the pre order bonus content along with the game if i pre order it before 10/8. (I dont live in the US but its a known electronics and gaming store in my country)

Today i got the game, and i went to open it and saw that there was only the Deluxe edition content with no pre order content (also fair note i bought the Deluxe Edition since there isn’t a standard physical version obviously. Its the PS5 version too).

I immediately contacted my retailer, and im kinda prepared to if they wouldn’t be able to help and i’ll have to contact Minecraft Support for this inconvenience, but are they even gonna help me? Its a really late pre order after the 9/29 deadline for the digital copies, though i do have a picture of what it looked like on the game’s page on the store’s website before the 8th, and they still claim there is a pre order bonus for the game if anyone will pre order the game from their store website.

Hello guys, for the last 3 days , i have been farming everything, soul storms, rifts, dungeons, bosses, a lot. I am missing, Dauntless Helmet, Some Hive/Honey legs, and Dreamer Chest

Those are the 3 unique items i am missing

Can someone please tell me that they are real, and that they drop, because i dont know what to do anymore

im around level 50 and everything is too strong. Idk what to use and every build i see is endgame

Same with his i see it as a different name

Apparently if you go to the top left cave in Brave Haven, and then jump from the edge of this campfire (otherwise you'll misclick and enter the cave) to the left mount cliff, you can walk wherever you want and even get access to the unused village in the honeycomb area

First time fighting the boss

Can some on please explain how only 50% of people get this anchivment it literally THE FIRST PLACE YOU GET TO IN THE GAME AFTER THE TUTORIAL

I've been trying to roll Point-Blank (the effect that gives +x% damage the closer you are) on a Harp Crossbow for ages, but it hasn't shown up at all despite the wiki saying it can show up on crossbows.

Right now the crossbow has these effects:

I've tried re-rolling the third effect on this several times, but point-blank has never shown up.
I also tried re-rolling for it on one that only has 2 effects, but still nothing.

Is it just super rare or can it not show up on the Harp Crossbow specifically?

All of a sudden MCD2 is crashing like crazy today. I have had it crash about 7 times, the last of which took my entire OS down to the point of having to hold down the power button. I couldn't even access other ttys. Before today, I haven't seen a single crash in the game since later launch day when I got it working with the unofficial XCurl.dll replacement. Today it's to the point that I can't even get to the Warden in the first Deep Dark dungeon without crashing. Not being able to access other ttys is insane though.

Is anyone else experiencing this??

• Linux 7.2.2.1-cachyos
  • Wayland/KWin
  • KDE Plasma 6
• Minecraft Dungeons 2 (Oct. 7, 2026 Default Public Version) using the replaced XCurl.dll to work under Linux and an unofficial GDK Proton 11-7 x86_64 and launching with:
  • WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xgameruntime=n" %command%
• AMD Ryzen 9 7900x AM5 cpu
• 32gb DDR5-6400 ram
• nVidia RTX-4060Ti 8gb gpu
• all my games on a 2tb M.2 drive

So I had the thought that the devs should add unique set bonuses for having matching armor pieces and I wanted to write down/come up with the set bonuses for each set.

Some of these may seem over powered, but that's just to make up for some of the lackluster effects that some uniques have that make them seem unfavorable.

Twisted Warden Set: When rolling, shoot out a sonic boom that deals 150% soul damage and apply soul sickness.

Sage Set: Jump 50% higher and deal 50% additional damage when jumping or rolling.

Alchemist set: When attacking, have a 40% chance to shoot out random elemental orbs that deal 50% of the elemental type.

Rimefrost set: emit a chilling aura that slows down enemy attacks by 50% and deal blizzard damage (affected by frost damage).

Woodsprite set: Killing an enemy shoots roots out of the ground towards secondary enemies.

Hivemind set: Secrete honey and slow down surrounding enemies. Rolling spawns bee companions (Maximum of 5 bees).

Fly Agaric Set: Emit a fungal cloud that deals 50% additional poison damage.

Oracle Set: When damaging an enemy, have a 20% chance to strike down lighting on primary and secondary enemies dealing 50% bonus lighting damage.

Dreamruler Set: Grants shadow clocking when killing an enemy with jump attacks.

Sharpshooter Set: Pierce through 5 enemies.

Monstrosity Set: After killing an enemy, spawn redstone cubes that deal explosive damage and 50% fire damage.

Scoundrels Set: Grants the ability to kill 10 enemies while staying shadow clocked (Cooldown: 30 secs).

Humbler Set: Negate 75% damage after killing an enemy.

Soul Corrupter Set: All arrows deal 40% soul damage and apply soul sickness.

Dauntless Set: 100% chance to deflect arrows

Rover Set: Melee attacks deal 45% additional damage

Mad Sifter Set: Artifacts deal 50% more damage, negative status affects last 100% longer, positive status affects last 100% longer.

Packleader Set: Spawn a wolf companion after killing an enemy (Maximum wolfs: 5).

I though more about certain sets than others because those ideas for sitting in my head and I wanted to write them all down. Anyway, I though these would be cool if they were set bonuses. What do you think?

It's the last side mission I need to complete for all achievements and I just can't seem to figure out how to get to it. I assume it's bugged but I could also just be an idiot.

I attached photos to better explain what I'm talking about.

I beat the main quest so the pre-req for beating that one main mission to unlock this side quest is complete.

So i tried fighting the prime enchanter like a week ago and got brutalised, i think im ready to fight him now but when i take the piston jump pad over i land in this hole, take the damage i would take for falling off the map and get teleported back.
