At night, it’s difficult to see any obstacles and hard to navigate throughout the map in DD2.
But don’t need to worry, Dragon’s Dogma 2 allows you to Light Up Dark Places, so that you can enjoy your gameplay even at nighttime.
In this article, I will show you How to Light Up Dark Places in Dragon’s Dogma 2 and I will explain why you should light up dark places.
How to Light Up Dark Places in Dragon’s Dogma 2?
You can use a lantern or torch to light up dark places in DD2. You just need to turn it on and that’s it, you are good to go. Also, you can use certain spells to light up some small areas.
Light Up Dark Places Using Lanterns and Torches in Dragon’s Dogma 2
Most easiest and most convenient way to Light Up dark places is to use any light source like Lanterns or torches.
I would recommend you to use a lantern. Because you could easily attach it to your belt. If you get attacked or you need to fight while exploring at night, your both hands will be free for combat.
But remember to refill your lanterns with oil regularly. It needs to be filled with Oil to remain burning. Lasts for around half an hour before needing to be refilled – as the oil burns the Lantern becomes a Lantern (Half-Full), and eventually a Lantern (No Fuel).
How to Turn Lanterns On and Off in Dragon’s Dogma 2?
Pawns will automatically equip their Lanterns when it gets dark, but the Arisen must do this manually. Here is how you can Turn Lanterns On and Off:
| Platform | Turn ON | Turn OFF |
|---|---|---|
| PS5 | L1 + Right D-Pad | L1 + Right D-Pad |
| XBOX | LB + Right D-Pad | LB + Right D-Pad |
On PS5 you just need to press L1 + Right D-Pad to toggle the lantern on and off and on XBOX you have to press LB + Right D-Pad.
