When you should load from last save versus load from last inn rest in Dragon’s Dogma 2 — and why you should hoard Ferrystones.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 takes an unorthodox approach with many of its gameplay systems, from its reliance on slow travel to its loss gauge system that punishes players for dying repeatedly. Another aspect of Capcom’s game that’s similarly onerous is it save system. Dragon’s Dogma 2 bucks tradition when it comes to player choice concerning saves — there’s no save scumming in this role-playing game.
You only have one save file in Dragon’s Dogma 2, so don’t expect to play with a variety of characters or simply whip up a new save file if you want to quickly start over. There are two types of save files: a save that will record your most recent progress, and a kind of backup save that can get you out of serious trouble but may result in you throwing away some game progress.
Understanding saving in Dragon’s Dogma 2, and which type of save you should load when you need to, can be confusing at first but is crucial to survival.
You can save your game at almost any time by going to the main menu and selecting the System option. From there, you can save manually, and then either continue with your journey or exit to the title screen.
