Dragonsplague Cure

Whilst some players may welcome the challenge of Dragonsplague in Dragon's Dogma 2, most see it as a ticking time bomb. Dragonsplague is essentially a disease that can spread amongst Pawns, turning them into mad killing machines that are capable of wiping out entire villages.

With this mod, you can toggle Dragonsplague on and off, safe in the knowledge that your Pawns are protected.

If you still want the plague to be present in your game but more manageable, there is also the Dragonsplague Counter mod. This adds a counter against infected Pawns heads, showing the level of disease they're at - with 10 being the highest. This gives players some pre-warning before it gets too serious.

You can also download the Immersive Dragonsplague Cure mod which adds a cure to the game in the form of a potion vial.

Stop Selling Yourself

This Dragon's Dogma 2 mod is more of a quality-of-life hack. As you're adventuring in the game, you'll notice that Pawns travelling in the wild will sometimes lock you into a conversation in a bid to get you to recruit them. This happens frequently, even if you already have a full party.

The 'Stop Selling Yourself' mod removes this so that the Pawns will only speak if spoken to. It's a small fix but one that removes this immersion-breaking annoyance without having to toggle off online mode.

Show Main Pawn Favorability

Affinity is a hidden system in which you can get NPCs to befriend your Arisen and give them discounts, gifts and unique encounters. It is also possible to raise affinity with your Main Pawn, although it works slightly differently than with regular NPCs.

With the 'Show Main Pawn Favorability' mod, you can see exactly where your affinity level is at with your Main Pawn. This mod essentially makes it easier to track your friendship level.

Reaching max affinity with your Pawn leads to unique dialogue and a slight variation to a cutscene at the end of the game. There is also a 'Show Favourability For Everyone' mod if you wish to see the same affinity measurement metric on the NPCs in the game.

Infinite Stamina out of Combat

This mod, in my opinion, is a must-have for any Dragon's Dogma 2 player. It gives you an infinite supply of stamina when adventuring, but inflicts the normal stamina limit whilst in combat.

This is a quality-of-life mod that doesn't damage the structure or challenge of the game but allows you to roam freely without having to stop and gasp for breath every 10 seconds. This is especially handy as fast travel in Dragon's Dogma 2 is quite limiting and you'll spend most of your early playthrough having to run to and fro to places.

Early N'Cheap Art of Metamorphosis

We've all had character creator remorse in an RPG when you spend hours perfecting your character's face, only to step into in-game lighting and realise you've created a troll.

Luckily, you can change your Arisen's features in-game with an Art of Metamorphosis tome. Less lucky - you'll have to wait until you reach the Pawn Guild vendor at Vernworth to get one.

This mod places an Art of Metamorphosis tome within the merchant's stock rotation in Melve. Melve will likely be the first prominent village you encounter so you should gain access to the tome much quicker with this mod.

Better UI - Colorful Map Icons

Speaking of looks, the 'Better UI - Colorful Map Icons' mod gives the Dragon's Dogma 2 map a facelift. It's a small tweak but it essentially saturates the colours of the map icons so they stand out more against the brown wash of the map.

It's a subtle change, but makes it a lot easier when looking for specific locations in the game.

No Job Requirements

As you experiment with different vocations in Dragon's Dogma 2, you'll notice that there are certain weapons and armour restrictions. For example, if you are an Archer, you won't be able to wield a sword or wear certain armours.

The 'No Job Requirements' mod strips this and allows you to wear and wield whatever you like, regardless of your vocation. The mod does have some limitations, however. If you wield a weapon you're not proficient in you'll only have access to basic attacks. As such, we recommend using this mod mainly to switch out and wear whatever armour you like.

It is also helpful in a pinch if you need access to a bow but don't have the Archer or Magick Archer vocation built or currently equipped. For me, I mostly use it to wear the pretty circlets that are shamefully only available for Sorcerers.

Teleportation

This mod may be a little controversial as it essentially makes fast travel free in Dragon's Dogma 2. With the 'Teleportation' mod, you can fast travel without the need for a Ferrystone or Portcrytal to several key locations on the map.

This includes all major villages and cities like Bakbattahl, Melve, Nameless Village, Checkpoint Rest Town and more. You can also change the mod log to show all Golden Trove Beetle locations, Seeker Token locations and more, if you want to skip the grind of locating them all yourself.

If you're a Dragon's Dogma 2 purist, this won't be the mod for you. If, however, you find the fast travel system more cumbersome than immersive, this mod will save you some time.

Turn Every Usable Item Infinite

With this mod, you can turn one-use items into an infinite supply in Dragon's Dogma 2. This means you can use things like Ferrystones, Wakestones and spell tomes more than once, without them disappearing from your inventory.

This includes special items like the Eternal Wakestone (useful for resurrecting a large number of NPCs at once) and the Unmaking Arrow (which can instantly kill any foe).

Riddle of Rumination Marker - A Game of Wits

During the 'A Game of Wits' quest, you'll be tasked with answering several riddles set by the Sphinx. One such riddle, the 'Riddle of Rumination' will task you with revisiting the location in which you found your first Seeker Token.

With over 200 tokens in the game, you may be hard-pressed to remember exactly where you picked up your first. Luckily this mod will mark the location for you on your map and save you some serious head-scratching. Although this mod is fairly niche, it's extremely useful if like us, your memory is terrible.
