Navigate Drabnir's Grotto in Dragon's Dogma 2 with our comprehensive walkthrough. Discover locations, defeat enemies like Goblins, Rattlers, and a Cyclops, and find valuable loot.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The entrance to Drabnir's Grotto is in the southwest of Battahl, accessible from Bakbattahl. Be aware of Harpies and Goblins on the path. Consider bringing a Portcrystal as there are none on the Volcanic Island until the Unmoored World.
  2. 2
    Upon entering, take the first left and right into small side paths, which loop back. These contain dead ends and enemies, including goblins in the main corridor.
  3. 3
    Take the second path on the left, then head left again to find a chest.
  4. 4
    Take the right path from the main corridor to find regular chests and a black and gold chest containing Indomitable Armor, guarded by goblins. This path loops back to the main corridor.
  5. 5
    On the right side of the starting corridor, take the third path. Before turning left behind some boxes, there's a chest on your right. This path leads back to the main corridor.
  6. 6
    After exploring the paths above the big drop, head down into the depths of Drabnir's Grotto.
  7. 7
    In the depths, clear out more goblins. You'll find a chest at the bottom of the initial drop.
  8. 8
    A small side path contains an enemy. Walk around the loop on the map, defeat a Slime, and collect items.
  9. 9
    Another large hall awaits, with more goblins to defeat. Explore side paths for chests.
  10. 10
    On the first path to your left, you'll find a drop down leading to a campfire and a Griffin. Defeat the Griffin.
  11. 11
    Take the other path to return to the main hall and progress.
  12. 12
    At the end of the main path is a large circular room with Rattlers and a Cyclops. Focus on the Cyclops, using its body to avoid Rattlers. Explore all looping paths in this room for resources and chests.
  13. 13
    After clearing the room, head down the lower path to the waterbed area.
  14. 14
    Edge forward carefully to trigger Rattlers one at a time. If overwhelmed, jump onto the platforms above to escape and regroup.
  15. 15
    Find a chest with a Ferrystone before dropping down.
  16. 16
    Head up the cliff and take a hard right to find more Rattlers and a breakable wall. Destroying the wall triggers a rockslide that eliminates a large group of Rattlers below. Note: This is a one-time use. Explosive barrels can be used for future trips.
  17. 17
    Before dropping down, take the other path up the cliff to find a chest in a wall gap. This path leads down to a Sludge and another cliff outside with another chest.
  18. 18
    Return to the area where you broke the wall and killed the Rattlers. Drop down to a small outside area that connects to the cavern exit.
Tips
  • Bring a Portcrystal to the Volcanic Island as there are no others until the Unmoored World.
  • Clear out goblins in the main corridors to avoid being overwhelmed.
  • When fighting the Cyclops in the circular room, use its body to evade the Rattlers.
  • In the final open area with the waterbed, lure Rattlers in small groups or use the platforms above to escape.
  • The breakable wall is a powerful tool against the large group of Rattlers, but it's a one-time use. Save explosive barrels for future runs.
  • Ferrystones are rare; the chest before the breakable wall is a valuable find.
