A New Fast Travel Option

Oxcarts are introduced as a travel option to move between locations in Dragon's Dogma 2. This is to give immersion to players when travelling to other major cities. Though, it is still susceptible to the dangers of the open world such as Goblin blockades, Griffin attacks, and more!

While travelling in an oxcart, you have the option to close your eyes to reach your destination faster. However, this doesn't stop time, and the environment constantly changes.

How to Fast Travel

Setting Up Campsites

Campsites can be placed to pass the time to cycle between night and day, heal you and your pawns' HP, and talk to your Pawns about important matters!

New Enemies

New enemies have been confirmed to be added in Dragon's Dogma 2 such as Slimes, Minotaurs, Talos, and a lot more!

Pawns

Pawns are a major feature in the first Dragon's Dogma game and is a returning feature in the second game as this composes the Arisen's party.

Pawns will aid you on your journey, filling in any gaps in your party's damage or support capabilities with their equipped vocations.

Returning Enemies

Several enemies from the first game have been confirmed to return in Dragon's Dogma 2 such as Drakes, Chimeras, Griffins, Harpies, and Saurians.

Their attack patterns and weaknesses may be similar in the first game, and playing the first game may help you understand these returning monsters' behavior, helping you fight them in the second game.

Should You Play Dragon's Dogma 1 First?

Augmented Gear

Augmented weapons are returning in Dragon's Dogma 2 to enhance the support capabilities of magic-focused vocations. This is achieved by infusing a weapon, whether it's your own or a party member's, with an element, allowing it to deal increased damage to enemies vulnerable to that certain element.

Spell Syncing

Spell Syncing makes a return and it enables you and your pawns to sync spells to allow casting and unleashing spells at a faster rate.

This mechanic was only available for the Sorcerer vocation in the first game and it might follow the same condition for Dragon's Dogma 2.
