Summary
Dragon’s Dogma 2, the long-awaited sequel to Capcom’s cult-classic RPG, is finally almost here. It has been over a decade since the release ofDragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen, the enhanced version of the first game, so the sequel is long overdue. Thankfully, it appears the wait forDragon’s Dogma 2will likely be worth it, as it aims to please in a multitude of ways.
Dragon’s Dogma 2will have plenty of new featuresto offer, as well as improved features from its predecessor. Among those features is a healthy array of monsters, both new and old. Currently, there are a total of twenty-one monsters confirmed to make an appearance inDragon’s Dogma 2. Many of these creatures made their debut inDragon’s Dogmaand are now returning inDragon’s Dogma 2, but there are plenty of new monsters players will need sufficient battle prowess to face off against.
Every Monster Confirmed to Carry Over From Dragon’s Dogma So Far
There are fourteen monsters fromDragon’s Dogmaconfirmed to carry over toDragon’s Dogma 2so far. While it’s unclear whether each creature will follow a different set of rules in the sequel, those who played the first game will likely still have the upper hand when battling them. NotableDragon’s Dogmamonsters not currently confirmed to reappear in the sequel include the Hydra, the Wyvern, and the Cockatrice. Nevertheless, players will need to carefully choose theirvocations inDragon’s Dogma 2before facing some of these familiar foes.
Dragon’s Dogma 2will see the return of several of the first game’s smaller enemies, like Goblins, Hobgoblins, Wolves, Skeletons, and Undead. However, many ofDragon’s Dogma’s much larger monsterswill also be returning. For example, the dreaded Chimera, which served as the first major encounter inDragon’s Dogma, will be back to greet players in the sequel, along with other well-known giants such as the Cyclops and the Golem.
Dragon’s Dogma 2also wouldn’t beDragon’s Dogmawithout dragons, and that’s where its Drakes come in. These powerful monsters are smaller than their Wyvern cousins, but will nonetheless keep players on their toes if they encounter one. Their affinity for Fire made them weak to Ice attacks in the first game, so the sequel’s Drakes may also follow the same mechanics. There are many other creatures fromDragon’s Dogmareturning inDragon’s Dogma 2, but there are several new monsters confirmed to make their debut in the sequel as well.
Every New Monster Confirmed to Debut in Dragon’s Dogma 2 So Far
There are seven new monsters confirmed so far forDragon’s Dogma 2, but they look to add enough variety to the original game’s roster that they should feel plentiful enough. Of the new monsters making their debut inDragon’s Dogma 2, two of them appear to be bosses, while most of the rest are rather non-traditionalfantasy monsters, like the Slime and the Knacker.
Included inDragon’s Dogma 2’s monster list is Talos, a bronze giant that may serve as one of the game’s bosses.Talos' appearance and size are very reminiscent ofShadow of the Colossus, which means players will likely be facing a monster unlike any in the first game and will therefore need to adjust their strategy accordingly. Dullahan, a headless, sword-wielding knight, might be another of the game’s bosses, as he appears to be the only one of his kind. At night, Dullahan turns into a dark mist and stalks his prey.
While only twenty-one monsters have been confirmed so far forDragon’s Dogma 2, there may be even more. The first game had different versions of each monster, and it’s likely the sequel will as well. However, that much will be known onceDragon’s Dogma 2releases on March 22.
