Dragon’s Dogma 2: How To Fast Travel | Oxcarts, Portcrystals & Ferrystones

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is one of the strangest games of 2024 — this open-world RPG is packed with weird features that make it extremely hostile to players, throwing you straight into a dangerous fantasy land and barely explaining some of its core features. There are so many strange details in this game and we want to talk about them all. Here’s everything crazy we’ve discovered so far that you didn’t know you could do — and we didn’t know either until we played the game way too much.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 has some aggravating quests, but none of them are as stressful as ‘Spellbound‘ and ‘The Sorcerer’s Appraisal‘ — two quests that make you track down books that are some of the rarest items in the game. These books look like any other spell tome at first glance, but they’re far more valuable and most only have a single copy. You’ll have to search every corner of the map to get six of these Grimoires, much less all ten. If you’re struggling to find the last Grimoires available, or if you just need a few more and want help, we’ve got locations for all of them.

Portcrystals are the most valuable items in Dragon’s Dogma 2. These portable blue crystals can be placed anywhere on the map and they’re the only method for fast-traveling in the game. By placing a Portcrystal, or using one of the two rare permanent Portcrystal locations, you can instantly portal by spending a Ferrystone. Ferrystones aren’t cheap, but they’re worth it when travel can take so, so long. If you’re looking to grab the maximum amount of Portcrystals you can place anywhere on the map — but seriously, you’ll really need to place one in Bakbattahl and on the Volcanic Island — then here are six ways to get yourself extra Portcrystals.

If you’re after one of the most powerful items in the game, which can bring a bunch of NPCs back to life at once, you’ll want to know how to get the Eternal Wakestone in Dragon’s Dogma 2, for sure.

The quest "" is far more complicated than it seems on the surface. It begins when the Arisen encounters a girl named Trysha in an isolated cabin, standing alone on a hill northwest of Melve. Trysha lives with her grandmother, Eini, who spends most of her day providing for the two of them. This leaves Trysha alone and bored out of her mind.
