How to use Wakestones in Dragon’s Dogma 2

As discussed, Wakestones canreviveyour Arisen if they are downed during combat. You will usually get a pop-up message upon death asking if you want to use a Wakestone (if you have one in your inventory). If used, combat will continue from the point of your death, but your character will be back to full health again.

Wakestones can also be used torevive dead NPCs. If a quest-giver has fallen in a tragic accident (usually due to Dragonspalgue hijinks), simply visit the closest Charnel House where they perished and use a Wakestone to revive them when prompted.

Due to the rarity of Wakestones, we recommend only using them if you’re struggling with a particularly difficult monster that is blocking your progress through the main story. Otherwise, upon death, you’ll respawn at your closest checkpoint/Portcrystal.

How to get the Eternal Wakestone in Dragon’s Dogma 2

To get the Eternal Wakestone in Dragon’s Dogma 2, you mustdefeat the Sphinx. We suggest solving her riddles first, to get the maximum amount of loot. Once all 10 of her riddles are solved, she will try to move location.

Kill her before she has the chance to re-locate and she will drop theKey of Sagacity, which will allow you to open the largest chest containing the Eternal Wakestone.

The Sphinx is no easy target, however, with four lifebars and the tendency to fly away if her health gets too low. If you don’t want to take any chances, you can attack her with theUnmaking Arrowwhich is guaranteed to kill her instantly. This is a reward for solving riddle number 9 but beware as the game will save automatically once it has been fired.
