Dragons Dogma 2's Catapults Can Be Used To Discover Hidden Areas
Dragon's Dogma 2 players have discovered that catapults can do a lot more than just take down big enemies, as firing them in the correct place can actually uncover hidden areas.
As I'm sure every Arisen has discovered by now, Dragon's Dogma 2 is absolutely huge. While it's (thankfully) not quite on the same level as recent 100 plus hour RPGs like Baldur's Gate 3 and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, its world is one that's full of easy-to-miss details (like Pawns being able to catch you from the sky) and hidden secrets.

Before you ask - no, you can't use the catapult to launch your Pawns. You monster.
It's a very neat hidden detail, and one that comes with its own rewards. In this case, going to where the boulder landed will reveal a small room containing a Seeker's Token (make sure to note down where you found it if it's your first one) and a Wakestone shard. Not the biggest reward in the game, but definitely worth taking the time to do.
This isn't the only catapult in
