Dragon’s Dogma 2boasts a vast world that will have you spending a considerable amount of time exploring, traveling between towns, completing quests, and battling enemies. As you journey, you’ll likely have noticed the game’s day-night cycle, which plays a crucial role in certain quests that must be completed at specific times of the day.
But how can you tell the time in the game? And is there a way to manipulate it to expedite the completion of quests with time requirements? This guide is here to provide you with all the answers and help you navigate this aspect of the game.
How To Tell Time
One of the most obvious ways totell time in the game is by observing the sky. This provides an easy way to distinguish between different times of the day.
Bright blue skies typically indicate morning until afternoon, while dark skies signify nightfall.
Another way to tell time in the game is byusing the pause menu. You can observethe ring around the map,which moves counterclockwise as time passes, allowing you to determine a more specific time.
The position of the sun within the ring serves as an indicator of the time of day.
Sometimes, pawns may make comments that provide clues about the time, such as mentioning the sunset or the starry night.
These comments can also be helpful in determining the time of day on the road.
How To Change Time
There are a couple of ways to change the time if you have a quest that demands completion during a specific time of day.
The first and free method is by dozing off on the benches located in towns. These benches not only come at no cost but also allow you toswitch between four different times of day: morning, afternoon, evening, and night.
The second method is byresting at an Inn or a campsite. Both options not only enable you to recover your lost gauge but also allow you to choose the time of day you wish to advance to, although you’re limited to resting until morning or nightfall.
Resting at an Inn doescome with a cost, while resting at a campsite requires you to havea camp kit.
If you’ve purchased a house in the game, it offers the same service as an Inn but without the charge,meaning you can use it whenever you want.
