Dragon's Dogma 2: All Maister's Teaching Locations

Dragon's Dogma 2 Maister's Teachings Warfarer

Every vocation in Dragon’s Dogma 2 has a wide range of skills you can unlock by leveling it up. However, if you want to learn the very best skills on offer, then you’ll need to seek out the Maister for that class. By finding the right person – and doing certain tasks for them – you can earn a Maister’s Teachings scroll, which will unlock a special ability for that vocation. Most only have one, but a couple of classes like Thief and Sorcerer have two.

Once you've unlocked them you can assign these skills to either you or your pawn, provided they have access to that vocation. The only limitation on these is that they can't be assigned when using Warfarer as a vocation, you have to fully commit to a vocation to use its Maister's Teaching. In the case of the special vocations, the same person who unlocks the class will give you the Maister's Teaching, although in some cases they'll require you to jump through some additional hoops first.

If you're still missing a vocation or two, then check out our guide on how to unlock every vocation in Dragon's Dogma 2.

Once you've unlocked the vocations you want, read on below to find out where to find every Maister's Teaching in Dragon's Dogma 2.
