Utilizing Catapults

In a recent viral clip shared by X user @Peppo_LS, players witnessed the power of catapults in Dragon's Dogma 2. By strategically using a catapult, they were able to demolish a massive rock wall, revealing a previously inaccessible path. This discovery has sparked widespread interest among the gaming community, as catapults were not initially highlighted as usable elements within the game.

To operate a catapult, players must first locate a functional one within the game world, as many are in disrepair. Once found, players can pick up a nearby rock and launch it using the catapult. This action triggers a small cutscene where the rock is flung away, opening up new possibilities for exploration. Additionally, player-controlled Pawns can assist in resetting the catapult for subsequent attempts, adding a cooperative element to the process.

Trial and Error

Despite the excitement surrounding catapults, their effectiveness in uncovering hidden areas is not guaranteed. As reported by IGN, some players have encountered catapults that yield no significant results, merely launching rocks into distant walls. Additionally, the success rate of activating hidden paths varies, with some catapults requiring multiple attempts before unlocking new areas.

Furthermore, catapults are not the only siege weaponry players can experiment with in Dragon's Dogma 2. Ballistas, found scattered throughout the game world, offer another avenue for exploration and discovery. Whether it's launching projectiles or demolishing obstacles, players are encouraged to explore every facet of the game to unveil its secrets fully.
