Dragon’s Dogma 2: Battling the Deadly Dragonsplague
Introduction:
With the recent release of Dragon’s Dogma 2, players have embarked on an epic quest filled with adventure and danger. However, a sinister threat lurks in the shadows: Dragonsplague, a contagious virus that can decimate entire towns. This guide will provide essential tips and strategies to help players prevent and combat the deadly Dragonsplague.
Identifying the Infected
Signs and Symptoms:
Dragonsplague affects both Pawns (NPC companions) and townspeople. Infected Pawns may exhibit subtle behavior changes, such as coughing or shivering. In towns, watch for increased sickness among the population and a foul odor.
Rotten Food as a Warning:
The Dragon’s Dogma 2 community has adopted a clever method for identifying infected Pawns. Infected Pawns may offer rotten food as a gift. Accept the gift as a warning that the Pawn is carrying the virus.
Preventing Infection
Hiring Cautiously:
When hiring Pawns, check their ratings and inspect their behavior. Avoid hiring Pawns with low ratings or visible signs of infection.
Dismissing Infected Pawns:
If you discover an infected Pawn, dismiss them immediately to prevent the infection from spreading to your party.
Isolating Towns:
If a town becomes infected, avoid entering it until the infection is contained. Use fast travel to bypass infected areas.
Treating the Infected
Creator’s Responsibility:
The only way to permanently cure infected Pawns is for their creators to kill and re-summon them in their own games. Encourage infected Pawns to return to their creators for treatment.
Modding Solutions:
For those seeking an alternative approach, PC players can install mods that cure infected Pawns or eliminate the Dragonsplague mechanic entirely.
Community Cooperation
Rotten Food and Ratings:
Use rotten food to warn others of infected Pawns. Give Pawns positive ratings if they return infected Pawns to their creators or warn others about the virus.
Conclusion
Dragonsplague is a formidable threat in Dragon’s Dogma 2, but by following these strategies, players can prevent infections, treat infected Pawns, and safeguard their adventures. Remember, working together as a community is crucial in combating this deadly virus. Stay vigilant, report infections, and embrace the cooperative spirit of Dragon’s Dogma 2.
