Quick Links
There are plenty of interesting places to visit inDragon’s Dogma 2, from the ancient battlegrounds of Vermund to the many temples in Battahl. Monster-infested points of interest are part and parcel of many RPGs, but not every encounter in a new area has to be action-packed.
Somewhere down south lies a peaceful hot spring that players can soak themselves in. It’s part of an achievement called This’ll Cure What Ails Ye, and while it isn’tone ofDragon’s Dogma 2’shardest achievements, it’s surprisingly easy to miss on your first playthrough. If you don’t want to miss this little relaxation spot, here’s a guide covering its location.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 Hot Spring Location
There’s only one hot spring in the entirety of the game, and it’s located at the southern end of the map in the Agamen Volcanic Island region. This is very close to the mining camp at the start of the game, and there are two ways to get here.
First, you’ll need tofind a way to enter Battahl inDragon’s Dogma 2. You’ll have to either smuggle yourself through the border gate in the Checkpoint Rest Town, or sneak past the border by going through the river beneath the town. The latter involves crossing a very precarious route through some caves and cliffs, so verify you’re prepared to fight.
Once you reach the capital city of Bakbattahl, you’ll then need to get to the volcanic island. If you’ve been playing through the main quest, you’ll reach this area as part ofDragon’s Dogma 2’sGuardian Gigantus quest after assembling the Empowered Godsbane. Alternatively, you’re able to sneak into this region again by passing throughDrabnir’s Grottoto the far south of Bakbattahl. Follow the route pictured above to get a general idea of where to go.
What’s The Hot Spring For?
Apart from unlocking theThis’ll Cure What Ails Yetrophy, soaking in the hot spring will also heal you and your pawns (this won’t recover any max health you may have lost to combat, though). Additionally, the spring’s healing waters will remove your Arisen’s chest scar and any scars your pawn may have gotten during their travels. For those who weren’t aware, scars will appear on pawns when they die in battle — these are different from the cosmetic scars you may place whilecustomizing pawns inDragon’s Dogma 2.
One noteworthy individual outside the hot spring is Lamond, a deadbeat drunk who also happens to be theWarfarer Maister. Give him three Newt Liquers to unlock this new vocation, and don’t forget to use the scroll he gives you to unlock the Rearmament ability, which lets you switch weapons on the fly.
