Do Dragons Dogma 2 Pawns Keep The Items You Give Them?

Pawns are great for a little extra storage space in , but it's not immediately clear what happens to the items they're given. Via the Pawn system in , players are able both to create a permanent Main Pawn, and to hire two additional Pawns from an extensive menu of community creations. Pawns have many uses — their primary purposes are to aid the player character in combat and offer situational advice, but they can also hang onto any spare items beyond the Arisen's carrying capacity.

But Pawn inventories are limited, just like the Arisen's. And they don't always stick around forever. It's possible to dismiss a hired Pawn at any time, and, when the going gets tough, it's not unheard of for Pawns to die. If a recently dismissed or deceased Pawn had an inventory full of valuable items, it's only natural to panic. But don't worry — these items are easily recovered. Here's everything to know about and its system of Pawn inventories.

If a Pawn is dismissed or dies in , anything they have in their inventory will simply appear in the player's storage, which can be accessed at any of the game's multiple inns. All a player needs to do is speak with the innkeeper and retrieve anything they've lost. In fact, storage is a pretty useful tool, even beyond retrieving items given to lost Pawns. If the Arisen finds something interesting, but doesn't expect to use it any time soon, they can toss it in storage. For more immediate needs, they're better off with Pawns.

Multiple players can travel with the same Pawn at the same time, so there's no reason not to hire the maximum number of Pawns.

Unfortunately, Pawns are limited to the equipment they come with in . Players can't change their equipped weapons, armor, or vocations, and they won't use most items they're given. The one exception, however, is curatives. Pawns will use any item labeled as a curative freely, so be careful when storing rare healing items in their inventories. Curatives may include herbs, potions, food, and drink
