Dragon’s Dogma 2 is full of surprises, and players are still working to discover all of them. Chief of interest at the moment is the curious Dragonsplague affliction that can be acquired by Pawns – and cause the loss of an entire town in one evening.
Players believe Dragonsplague can be contracted by Pawns after they fight against a dragon – but the condition can also be passed between Pawns, too.
If ignored, the consequences can be “devastating”, Capcom warns. The official Dragon’s Dogma 2 website describes Dragonsplague as a “contagious disease-like condition that infects pawns as they travel between worlds”.
