How To Change The Time Of Day

Learn how to change the time of day in Dragon's Dogma 2 by resting at camps or inns. Understand the consequences of passing time and manage your quests carefully.

Hey there, Arisen! Want to know how to skip ahead in Dragon's Dogma 2? It's pretty straightforward, but you'll want to listen up because there are some serious consequences if you're not careful.

How to Change Time:

You've got a few options to advance the clock:

• Resting at a Camp: Set up camp anywhere in the world and choose to rest.
• Sleeping at an Inn: Visit any town or village and book a room at an inn.
• Taking a Nap Elsewhere: Sometimes, you'll find other spots in the world where you can take a quick nap.

Each of these actions will push the game's clock forward by about 8 hours. This means you can go from morning to afternoon, or afternoon to night, and so on. Handy for when you need to wait for a specific event or character to appear, right?

But Here's the Catch (and it's a big one!):

While skipping time is super useful, it's not without its risks. Every time you rest or sleep, the entire world progresses. This includes:

• NPC Schedules: Characters will move on with their day, potentially missing them when you need them.
• Questlines: Time-sensitive quests can advance, and if you're too late, you might fail them entirely. Imagine needing to save someone and you've slept right past the deadline!
• World Events: Certain things only happen at specific times of day.

The Single Save File Problem

This is crucial: Dragon's Dogma 2 only has ONE save file. This means if you carelessly skip time, fail a quest, or miss out on a crucial item or event, you can't just load up an earlier save. You're stuck with the consequences. So, think twice before you hit that 'rest' button!

Day vs. Night Considerations

While daytime might seem safer because you can see better, don't get too comfortable. Enemies are still out there, lurking around every corner. Nighttime, on the other hand, can be even more dangerous. You're more likely to stumble into powerful foes or even boss encounters that you might not be ready for. Choose your resting times wisely based on what you plan to do next!

It's a bit like the first game, but with even more weight behind your decisions due to that single save file. We've got plenty more guides to help you navigate everything, from classes to bosses, so don't hesitate to check them out if you get stuck.
