Dragon’s Dogma 2 All Maister’s Teachings Locations

In Dragon’s Dogma 2 the Maister’s Teachings are the most powerful skills that can be acquired by each vocation. This guide shows all of their locations. Acquiring all Maister’s Teachings unlocks the Master of the Maisters trophy.

Learning a maister’s teaching requires the use of a special tome, which you will receive if you impress the Vocation-Maister with your abilities. However, the true potential of this skill can only be realized by those whose vocation rank is high enough.

Maister’s Teaching 1: Fighter Maister

From Lennart, located in Melve. Must reach maximum affinity with him, then talk to him and he’ll give you Soldier’s Code tome to learn Riotous Fury. An easy method is to gift him 1 Wyrmslife Crystal, looted from Dragons (talk to him and press / to give a gift). Then rest on bench for 24 hours and talk to him again. If the gift options is grayed out, make sure you completed side quest Oxcart Courier, then he will accept gifts.

Alternatively, you can max his affinity immediately by completing side quest Readvent of Calamity, then speak with him again immediately after and he should give the Soldier’s Code tome for learning Riotous Fury.

Lennart is usually found walking around the ruined archway in the northwest of Melve:

 

Alternatively, he can be at the well in the ruined part of town:

 

Or at the Riftstone, the inn, or in his house (next to the inn):

 

Maister’s Teaching 2: Thief Maister (Fake)

Talk to Flaude, located in Nameless Village far east of Vernworth. He is located in the Old Noble Manor building at the top of the village.

Exhaust both dialogue options with him (ask about the village & ask what he knows of you), then he’ll give Legend’s Opus item for learning Blades of the Pyre. If he doesn’t you must give him gifts to raise his affinity to maximum. You can give 1 Wyrmslife Crystal, sleep 1 day, give him another (alternatively, giving him 4 flowers and sleeping a day between each should also work).

Maister’s Teaching 3: Thief Maister (Real)

Found during The Nameless Village side quest. Gives Pilferer’s Handbook item for learning Formless Feint. Note that this side quest becomes unavailable during Main Quest 10: Feast of Deception, however you can still get the Maister’s Teaching by talking to the NPC any time thereafter, having the quest isn’t necessary for it, if you do the quest you’ll just get it automatically during that. The NPC will still be there so it’s not missable. He’s in Nameless Village > to the left of the big manor on the hill (last house), go down the ladder into “Nameless Village Depths”. Then go to the end of the cave to find this NPC, talk to him and he gives you the Pilferer’s Handbook to learn this Maister Teaching.

Maister’s Teaching 4: Archer Maister

Raise affinity with Taliesin to the maximum. He is the elf leader found in Sacred Arbor, the elven city west of Melve. He’s in the building called “Arborist’s Home”. Bring a pawn with “Woodland Wordsmith” specialization to understand him (you can check pawn specializations from any Riftstone, re-enter the Riftstone until a pawn has this). Gift him 1 Wyrmslife Crystal (dropped by dragons) > sleep till next day > give him another Wyrmslife Crystal and he will give the Hunter’s Secret tome, which unlocks the Heavenly Shot ability. Other gift items may work too but Wyrmslife Crystal is guaranteed to raise affinity with any NPC.

Alternatively, you can do his 2 side quests to raise his affinity to maximum: Gift of the Bow and A Trial of Archery. After waiting at least a day his affinity will be updated to maximum and you can talk to him again to receive this.

Maister’s Teaching 5: Warrior Maister

Given by Beren, complete the side quests Claw Them Into Shape and Beren’s Final Lesson, then Beren will move to the location Beren’s Childhood Home just south of the Checkpoint Rest Town. Speak with him there to receive Champion’s Fable.

If you lost the duel with him earlier you will need to raise his affinity before he gives you the tome, either by completing an escort for him or giving him items. 1 Wyrmslife Crystal will raise him to maximum affinity. If he’s not at his house, check back at different daytimes. For me he was there after resting at the nearby Oxcart Station once (the one south of the border), but other players have reported only being able to give him gifts at night.

Maister’s Teaching 6: Mage Maister

Given by Trysha, complete Spellbound by giving Trysha 3 of the 6 real books, then speak to her again immediately after and she’ll give Conjurer’s Jottings.

Maister’s Teaching 7: Sorcerer Maister

Given by Eini, complete Spellbound by giving Trysha 3 of the 6 real books, then speak with Eini immediately after to receive Enchanter’s Almanac.

Maister’s Teaching 8: Second Sorcerer Maister

From Sorcerer’s Appraisal side quest. Give him the other 3 real books that you didn’t give to Trysha (there are two copies of Nation’s Death Knell). Alternatively, you are allowed to give him forgeries of the books, which you can do at Ibrahim’s Scrap Store for 6000 Gold per piece.

Maister’s Teaching 9: Trickster Maister

Given by Luz, located at the Reverent Shrine in Battahl. Speak with her downstairs to unlock the Trickster vocation, then climb the ladder on the back left corner of the building to reach the rooftop. Walk around to the front of the rooftop to encounter Luz in her physical form, where she will give the Theurgist’s Rite tome, which unlocks the Dragon’s Delusion ability.

Maister’s Teaching 10: Mystic Spearhand Maister

Given by Sigurd after reaching maximum affinity with him. You can first find him at Dragonsbreath Tower, southwest of Bakbattahl. You can either gift him 1 Wyrmslife Crystal, rest, give him another to max out his affinity and he’ll give you Paladin’s Enigmata which unlocks the Wild Furie ability. If he doesn’t accept gifts then defeat the dragon at Dragonsbreath Tower and he will join you in the fight which raises the affinity.

After the dragon fight at Dragonsbreath Tower, Sigurd moves back to Harve Village to the Coastal Hut, he should be marked on the map by a red icon at the east end of Harve Village. You can gift him more Wyrmslife Crystals there (sleep in between) until he gives you the Teaching.

Maister’s Teaching 11: Magick Archer Maister

Given by Cliodhna, complete Put a Spring in Thy Step, which will unlock the Magick Archer vocation and Cliodhna should immediately speak to you again and give you Spellbow’s Paradox, which unlocks the Martyr’s Bolt ability.

Maister’s Teaching 12: Warfarer Maister

Given by Lamond, complete The Sotted Sage, which will unlock the Warfarer vocation and Lamond should immediately speak to you again and give you Grandmaster’s Path, which unlocks the Rearmament ability.
