Summary
As you venture into the vast realms ofDragon’s Dogma 2, you are immediately roped into a world filled with mythical creatures, magnificent landscapes, and downright iconic characters, to say the least. However, given the grandeur of the game’s expansive open-world setting, it is highly likely that you may have overlooked some locations when exploring the game.
We’ve all been there, swept up in the epic quests and breathtaking scenery and forgetting to peek behind every curtain. The following are hidden areas around DD2 that you should be sure to keep a lookout for the next time you play the game. Some are so obscure that you might have adventured for hundreds of hours and never stumbled upon them.
7Waterfall Cave
This is one of the easiest areas to miss, especially early on. Right at the beginning of the game, when you are fighting the Griffin, it will lead you to the Waterfall cave, but upon the Griffin’s death, entry to this area will be blocked by its body.
You can access the cave on thenortheastern side of Vermundnear theBorderwatch Outpostlater, after the Griffin’s body has disappeared from the entrance. The cave is filled with a lot of loot and offers plenty of opportunities for exploration. You will, however, need to be prepared as the cave also houses some challenging enemies such as the Gorechimera.
6Drabnir’s Grotto
While this area is readily apparent on the game’s map, it can be easy to miss because it is situated near a series of other caves.You can find Drabnir’s Grottoto the south of Batthal, and it is one of themethods you can use to get to the Agamen Volcanic Island.
The area itself is pretty extensive and features a large and dark interior, for which you should consider bringing a lantern. You should be ready to encounter some enemies, such as the Cyclops, but upon successful exploration, you can find some powerful weapons and armor, such asThe ExaltedMace.
5Tomb Of Al’Guttos
This tomb is located on the westernmost reaches of the Battahl regionand is one of the areas where its path is not visible on the map until you actually start walking along it. To get to the path, you might have to climb over a cliff and access the entrance.
Inside the tomb, you will find enemies such as Phantasms or Skeletons, who shouldn’t be hard to fight. However, you will also get to experience a duo fight between a Litch and a Skeleton Lord. The area offers decent loot upon exploration, and you can find a Seeker’s Token here.
If you kill the Skeleton Lord first while fighting the Lich, they may actually be revived by the Lich mid-fight.
4Tomb Of Am’ranna

Once you access the area, the tomb can be found just below one of the posts in the escarpment. When you drop down to this area, you can get to the entrance of the tomb, which is an interesting area where you can get a Seeker’s Token, theAbyssinal Neck Wrap, and aDoomdove Turban.
3Sal’Battahl Cavern
Close to the Nera’Battahl Windrift cave,where you find the Medusa, is this lesser-known cave area. Unlike some other hidden areas, it might not have a world-changing secret or a legendary boss, but it offers a thrilling challenge and rewards for those who manage to find it.
While it is a relatively small area to explore, it does offer some fantastic looting opportunities in chests, giving you access toCrimson TeethDaggers,Seeker’s Tokens, anAllheal Elixir, and aWakestone Shard. Keep in mind that you may have to fight off some enemies in the cave, so venture out with your pawns.
2Thunderclap Cave
This is one of the hidden areas that can actually serve as an alternative route to different areas on the map. The cave is located at the southern edge of one of the secondary border crossings and can be an alternativemethod to get to Battahlif you do not want to use theBorder Checkpoint.
Thunderclap Cave features beautiful scenery with indoor waterfalls and offers loot, such as the Seeker’s Token or theLegend’s Mantle.
