There are Inns in most villages and towns but staying at them can prove pricey, especially if you are in a major city like Vernworth or Battahl (which usually charges around 1,500 - 2,000 gold).
This also doesn’t help if you are within the wilds and have no easy way offast travelback to a city. Luckily, there are several Campfires dotted around the map that you can rest at for free. You just need aCamping Kitin your inventory, which can be bought from most vendors. An early-game Campfire Kit can be found at the Northern Vermund base, up the eastern road from Melve.

You’ll often have to clear the surrounding area of monsters first to deter possible ambushes, however, but a Camping Kit is a solid investment, isre-usableand crucial for any Dragon’s Dogma 2 playthrough. You can also cook meat and assign skills at a Campfire.
If you’re a little further into the game, you mayown a housein one of the large cities. These act as free Inns and essentially, you can rest there for free and as many times as you like. Houses are extremely pricey but worth the long-term investment for this mechanic.
