Summary
Dragon’s Dogma 2has plenty of obstacles to overcome, but one major nuisance causing players a lot of headaches is Dragonsplague, a disease that can cause a Pawn to turn into a massive dragon andkill everything in a 10-mile radius if not treated properly. Players have come up with various methods of keeping Dragonsplague at bay,including throwing their Pawns in the nearest body of water, but now the modders have got involved.
Of course, the easiest way to deal with Dragonsplague is to not have to deal with it at all, and you can already find several creations on Nexus Mods that will let you either clearly see Dragonsplague when it’s been contracted, easily cure it when you do notice one of your Pawns is down with the sickness, or just straight up remove it from the game (thanksEurogamer).
Our first mod comesfrom Nexus Mods user Rthomasv3, and gives each Pawn that contracts the disease a big red counter over their head, with each number representing how far away they are from going feral. If you’re Pawn is at 10 - the maximum number you can reach before Dragonsplague strikes, you can either throw them in a river or banish them from your party.
If You Want It Gone For Good, There Are Mods For That Too
If you’d rather not play around with Dragonsplague at all and just want it out of your mind permanently, Rthomasv3 also has a different mod for that. Theaptly named ‘Dragonsplague System Removal’ moddoes exactly what it says on the tin, but in a rather clever way. Instead of getting rid of Dragonsplague, this mod essentially shifts Dragonsplague between your Pawns and resets the counter, meaning you’re able to rest safely knowing the disease will never cause your Pawns to turn homicidal.
That can break the immersion of the overall experience though, so if you still want Dragonsplague in the game, but would rather have a very easy way to remove it, then another modder has your back. Instead of removing the system,the ‘Dragonsplague Cure’ modlets you bind one of your keys to become an instant cure button that you can press to banish the disease from your Pawn. You’ll just have to pretend they went to a hospital overnight.
