Dragon’s Dogma 2 is stuffed with surprises, and gamers are nonetheless working to find all of them. Chief of curiosity in the meanwhile is the curious Dragonsplague affliction that may be acquired by Pawns.
Gamers consider Dragonsplague could be contracted by Pawns after they battle in opposition to a dragon – however the situation will also be handed between Pawns, too.
If ignored, the results could be “devastating”, Capcom warns. The official Dragon’s Dogma 2 web site describes Dragonsplague as a “contagious disease-like situation that infects pawns as they journey between worlds”.
Capcom explains that, “Somewhat than being weakened, Pawns with the illness are stated to show outstanding efficiency, and to turn out to be conspicuously daring of their speech and behavior. In keeping with folklore, when the signs of Dragonsplague attain a terminal stage, it should end in devastating calamity, however the veracity of these claims is unclear”.
Whereas I personally haven’t skilled Dragonsplague throughout my time with Dragon’s Dogma 2, there’s loads of video proof of from gamers who’ve seen it unfold. And that devastating calamity Capcom alluded to? Effectively, you probably have a Pawn with the Dragonsplague situation in your social gathering and you do not assist them in a well timed method, they may rework into some type of demonic ghost dragon throughout a cutscene as you sleep.
This in itself is fairly uncommon, it must be stated, however hey, it is Dragon’s Dogma 2. I’ve seen loads of uncommon issues throughout my 10 or so hours up to now.
After that, issues take an much more sinister flip. When the participant wakes up following a Pawn’s transformation, they may recieve a message to say “Dragonsplague has struck”. They may then discover each NPC in a city has been murdered. This contains those that provide you with quests required to finish the primary story.
You’ll be able to see simply the way it seems to be due to the video beneath.

Fortunately, whereas waking as much as scores of our bodies and an absence of development could be fairly alarming, gamers who’ve skilled Dragonsplague for themselves say that ready for a number of days or so of in-game time leads to plenty of quest givers respawning. Others used wakestones to revive impacted NPCs.
As for what you are able to do for impacted Pawns, Dragonsplague can’t be eliminated with any identified in-game consumable merchandise. This implies you’ll have to preserve an eye fixed out for indicators of Dragonsplague (comparable to a crimson glow in thier eyes, and a extra abrasive change in angle). If you see these indicators, it’s time to swap out your contaminated Pawn – hopefully for remedy by way of some future methodology. In any other case, the one various is engineering they fall in battle earlier than turning. It’s value noting, from what I’ve learn this afternoon, Dragonsplague does not seem within the Standing menu of your Pawns.
