In the dynamic world ofDragon’s Dogma 2, even your trusted pawns are not immune to peril. One such danger comes in the form of Dragonsplague, a unique affliction that targetsPawnsand can have devastating consequences if not managed properly. This guide will help you recognize the signs of Dragonsplague, understand its effects, and learn how to manage it.
What is Dragonsplague?
Dragonsplague is a Pawn-specific disease that gradually erodes their obedience, making them ignore your commands. This disobedience is not to be confused with their natural inclinations to debate tasks; afflicted pawns will completely disregard your directives. While the disease does enhance their strength, it comes with the severe risk of transforming them into hostile, misshapen dragons that can harm or even kill key NPCs, potentially locking you out of quests and valuable resources.
Reviving NPCs Affected by Dragonsplague
Should Dragonsplague lead to the demise of important NPCs (namely, if your Pawn goes crazy and goes on a killing spree), there’s a fix for that. You can resurrect them using aWakestone, which is assembled from three Wakestone Shards scattered throughout the game world. For those who have defeated the Sphinx, anEternal Wakestoneis obtainable, providing a limitless solution to reviving fallen NPCs.

The key to managing Dragonsplague lies in early detection. Keep an eye out for these signs:

How to Cure Dragonsplague
While there’s no direct cure, there are ways to rid your pawn of Dragonsplague:
Preventive Measures and Management
Vigilance is key in preventing the spread of Dragonsplague. Regularly monitor your pawns for symptoms, especially when hiring new ones.
