Important: Saving your game in Dragon's Dogma 2

Saving game progress in Dragon's Dogma 2 looks different than in most games you know. There are only two slots for saving your game:

First Slot is Last Save, this save performed automatically in selected places or you can do it manualy by saving game yoursefl. Automatic Save will always owerwrite Last Save. So when you loading game from Last Save you will always get the latest, safe game state.
Second Slot: A Last Inn Rest Save, its made automatically when you rest in Inn. It is overwritten only when you rest in Inn again. It is not overwritten by the game prograss, it is always your last rest at the Inn. So if you want to save the game in a specific place, then go on an expedition, and then go back in time to the moment of sleep in the Inn, this is the option.

So if you want to go back to an earlier point in the game, you only have one saved game left, your Last Inn Rest, so make it carefully.

Now go to sleep at the Inn.

Dragon's Dogma 2 Map Markings

Locations

Landmarks, Points of Interest, Settlements, Waypoints and Interesting Locations.

You should visit all these locations, the suggested order is consistent with the numbers, but not obligatory.

Shops and Services

You can Buy or Sell items like weapons, armor, consumables and other.

By making friends with a seller in a store or by shopping there frequently, you have a chance to receive rare items and expand the available assortment.

Inns

Staying at an inn fully restores your party's Health and Stamina. It also recovers the loss gauge, which represents a reduction in your Health and accumulates when taking damage.

At Inns you have access to your personal Storage, same Storage can be accessed in any Inn. All stored items will be kept fresh as long as they are in Storage.

The Inn also serves as a Vocation Guild in smaller towns, to manage your Vocations (Character Class).

When resting at an inn, you can choose whether to rise in the morning or at night-useful if you need to set out at a particular time. Foresighted adventurers will stay at inns regularly, to avoid risks when traveling far afield.

Check Map of Inns & Campsites Locations.

Campsites

A place out of towns, to rest for your Party. If you have a Camping Kit you can regenerate here like in a regular Inn. Before you start resting, eliminate all enemies in the area to avoid being attacked while you sleep

Check Map of Inns & Campsites Locations.

Cave and Dungeon Entrances

Small Dungeons, usually underground, with items and valuables guarded by monsters.

There is often more than one entrance to a Dungeon.

Portcrystals

Fast Travel Teleporters in Dragon’s Dogma 2, use Ferrystone to teleport to any other previously discovered Portcrystal.

Fast Travel is not popular in Dragon's Dogma 2, which is why you will only find a few Portcrystals.

"A Trial of Archery" Side Quest in Sacred Arbor you will be able to get your own Portcrystal as an item. You can also buy it later in-game.

Oxcart Stations

You can Fast Travel from Oxcart Station by Oxcart.

Check Oxcart Station Locations Map in Dragon's Dogma 2.

Riftstones (Regular Riftstones)

Riftstones available in Towns and important locations. Their function is to summon Support Pawns. You summon Pawns at an experience level similar to your own. Different Riftstones have the ability to select Pawns with specific properties.

You can try to rebuild the Forgotten Riftstone and if you succeed, a new Regular Riftstone will be created.

Forgotten Riftstones (Free Pawn)

Destroyed Riftstones scattered around the land that you can rebuild. When you try to rebuild Forgotten Riftstone, two things can happen (they are not random, but assigned to a specific place):

Riftstone will be restored - then it will turn into a Regular Riftstone with a specific feature assigned to the summoned Pawns in it.
It will be permanently destroyed - and one time will summon a random high-level Pawn that you can recruit for free. And this is exactly this type of Riftstone.

Main Quests

The starting location for Main Quests, which are part of the game's plot and create the storyline.

There are 16 Main Quests in Dragon's Dogma 2 and it's hard to miss another one as the end of one begins the next. By following the numbering order of Main Quests, you can see where the game's plot will take you next. Completing the storyline, i.e. completing all Main Quests, will take you about 30 hours.

Side Quests

Starting locations for Side Quests, which are additional tasks you can perform in the world of Dragon's Dogma 2. These are separate closed stories.

In the game with over 50 Side Quests, completing them will take you twice as much time as the main story. Completing Side Quests is not necessary to complete the game, but it can often make it much easier.

Chests

Chests in Dragon's Dogma 2 differ visually, the more solid and ornate the chest looks, the more valuable content you can expect.

Golden Trove Beetles

Rare beetles that shine like gold. Their consumption permanently increases your carrying capacity by 0.15 kg. The Arisen’s main pawn can also receive the same effect.

There are at least several dozen Golden Trove Beetles in Dragon’s Dogma 2.
