Dragon’s Dogma 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to Capcom’s cult classic 2012 RPG. The original game gained a passionate fanbase thanks to gameplay features that set it apart from other fantasy RPGs.
This RPG from Capcom offered a wide variety of Vocations, or classes, and placed a strong emphasis on walking to locations to inject a survival element into the game.
The upcoming sequel builds on all of these elements and also brings back the Pawns who will assist the player throughout their journey.
So if you’re looking to learn more about these companions, here’s everything you need to know about Pawns in Dragon’s Dogma 2.
What are Pawns in Dragon’s Dogma 2?
Pawns in Dragon’s Dogma 2 are companions dedicated to serving the player character, also known as the Awakened One. You will create your first main Pawn when creating your character at the start of the game. These companions can be of human or beast race, and they have no will of their own.
Your group will consist of three Pawns in total, and you will recruit the other two from the Rift. Players can enter it using Rift Stones, which transport the Awakened One to a realm populated by these companions. Pawns found in the Rift were created by other players online, and they come with all the quest-related knowledge accumulated by that player during their adventures.
Each Pawn has its own Vocation and Specialization. While Vocation primarily refers to one’s playstyle and abilities, Specialization refers to one’s proficiency in a specific skill.
For example, the Sylvain Scribe specialization allows a Pawn to understand Elvish, while the Surgeon Specialization allows him to heal group members.
In terms of player assistance, Pawns will lend a hand during combat, point out the weaknesses of certain enemy types, and serve as a guide during exploration. Based on the information they have gathered, these companions can also open new paths or provide useful information related to quests.
Pawns can also be affected by Dragonsplague, a mysterious illness that enhances their abilities but slowly transforms their behavior.
There you have it, everything you need to know about Pawns in Dragon’s Dogma 2.
