Dragon’s Dogma 2: 10 RIDICULOUS Things You Didn’t Know You Could Do

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is one of the strangest games of 2024 — this open-world RPG is packed with weird features that make it extremely hostile to players, throwing you straight into a dangerous fantasy land and barely explaining some of its core features. There are so many strange details in this game and we want to talk about them all. Here’s everything crazy we’ve discovered so far that you didn’t know you could do — and we didn’t know either until we played the game way too much.

The Gaol Key also unlocks all the doors in the Battahl Jail. It even works on other castles with locked cell doors — the submerged castle is one location the Gaol Key will unlock doors. The key works everywhere! And you can copy it at Ibrahim’s Shop in the Checkpoint Rest Town. Make a forgery of the Gaol Key while completing the ‘Caged Magistrate’ quest and you’ll be able to keep the copy permanently for all your prison escape needs.

Here’s another fun little detail we only just noticed. If you capture
