Embark on a truly immersive fantasy world in Dragon’s Dogma 2, where you create your own adventure in a grand and mysterious realm. This highly anticipated sequel promises not only a captivating narrative but also a richly detailed character creation system, letting players become the Arisen and shape the destiny of this fantastical universe.
What is the Arisen?
The Arisen is the central figure in the Japanese single-player RPG Dragon’s Dogma 2. The Arisen is the main character an individual chosen or self-selected to challenge the mighty Dragon, an agent of worldly destruction and violence. This role sets the stage for a grand adventure, with the Arisen losing their heart to the Dragon, marking the beginning of a quest to reclaim it through a plethora of different situations such as vocation challenges, narrative events, and of course battle.
Arisen in the Original Dragon’s Dogma
In the original Dragon’s Dogma, the Arisen’s journey began in the humble fishing village of Cassardis, attacked by the Dragon. Linked to the Dragon through a mysterious scar, Arisen do not age and are immune to sickness as long as the Dragon lives. Over the game, they evolve into powerful beings, mastering weapons and magic, becoming a force to be reckoned with in both physical and mystical prowess.
The Dragon was once an Arisen. As a human, he defeated a great dragon of his own and later fought against the Seneschal, but failed to defeat him. Because of his defeat, he was transformed into a dragon and set forth to find a new Arisen. In the ending “Servitude” the Arisen receives this fate if they fail to defeat the Seneschal in combat; in Dark Arisen the Arisen Grette also has this fate.
Arisen who fall before facing the Seneschal are thought to be transformed into lesser Dragons such as Drakes, Wyrms, or Wyverns. Some Dragons appear to have retained memories of their former lives.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 Story
In Dragon’s Dogma 2, the kingdom of Vermund takes center stage, a lush land where the Arisen rules as king. The narrative unfolds in the kingdom’s fortified city, rife with conspiracies and a false Arisen supported by Queen Regent Disa. The Arisen’s fate is intertwined with the Dragon, immortality tied to the creature’s existence.
Battahl emerges as a distinctive nation, primarily inhabited by the Beastren, and is characterized by its unique cultural identity. Steep canyons, adorned with ancient ruins, provide a backdrop for cities intricately woven into the rugged landscape. The culture, customs, and beliefs of Battahl have evolved under the influence of its harsh natural environment, setting it apart from the kingdom of Vermund.
Unlike in Vermund, where the Arisen is revered, in Battahl, a different reverence takes shape. Here, Pawns are perceived as harbingers of misfortune. Citizens, instead of focusing on the Arisen, direct their worship towards the Lambent Flame, a symbolic shield against impending calamity. At the heart of this devotion is Empress Nadinia, a central figure in the Lambent Flame’s veneration.
Sacred Arbor, nestled in the depths of this fantastical realm, serves as the secluded abode of the elves. These enigmatic beings, distinct from humans and Beastren, prefer isolation and maintain their own remote village. The elves communicate in a unique language, adding an air of mystery and difficulty to interactions with other races. Interestingly, some Pawns appear to possess an understanding of Elvish, bridging the communication gap in this diverse and intriguing world.
Pawns are mysterious otherworldly beings that bring their own experience from other players’ worlds creating a sense of multiplayer community even in a single-player environment. Combining these two elements of single-player and multiplayer through these daring adventurers. The game explores many different themes, allowing you to visit other countries and play a dynamic party of followers ready to spill blood in your name.
