Dragon’s Dogma 2‘s dangerous regions will present you with formidable enemies as you travel through them in search of powerful resources.
One of the materials needed for this process is Eldricite. This rare and valuable resource is essential for upgrading your equipment. As a beginner, understanding how to obtain and use Eldricite can be a game-changer.
Where to Find Eldricite
Eldricite can primarily be found by defeating Specters in the postgame. These ghostly creatures, identifiable by their purple hue, only appear after completing the main story. Two prime locations to encounter Specters are the Misty Marshes and Bakbattahl.
Located in the Vermund region, northwest of Vernworth, the Misty Marshes is a misty area. Here, Specters can be found roaming at night. Keep an eye out for these purple ghosts flying around.
The capital city of the Battahl region, Bakbattahl, is another excellent spot. This area not only offers Specter encounters but also increases the chances of them dropping Eldricite.
Getting Eldricite Before the Endgame
While rare, it is possible to obtain Eldricite before completing the main story. Some players have reported success by sending a Pawn with the Forager specialization to hunt for materials near the Sacred Arbor (the Elvish Village).
Enhancing Your Gear with Eldricite
Once you have acquired Eldricite, the next step is to enhance your equipment. Enhancing your gear can grant various effects, making your character more formidable.
This process, however, involves visiting a vendor who runs an armory or smithy.
Finding Vendors
Vendors can be found in settlements such as Melve or Vernworth. Their presence is often indicated by a nearby Inn, where you can withdraw and deposit items. Be cautious, as unsheathing your weapon may scare them away, preventing interactions.
At the vendor’s shop, you can use Eldricite, along with other materials and Gold, to strengthen your armor or weapons.
Conclusion
Eldricite is a rare and valuable material in Dragon’s Dogma 2. While challenging to obtain, especially for beginners, it is essential for enhancing your equipment.
If you follow the suggestions in this guide, you have a better chance of getting Eldricite and strengthening your gear. Remember that a properly equipped adventurer is more likely to beat the hordes of dragons, ghouls, and goblins that roam Dragon’s Dogma 2. Play smart, not hard.
So, what are you waiting for? Don’t hesitate to farm for Eldricite and empower your weapons and armor!
