Dragon’s Dogma 2 Guide – How to Increase Carry Weight

If your favorite thing about open-world games is to rummage around in every corner in search of something useful, then Dragon’s Dogma 2 will definitely not disappoint you in this regard. However, there is one significant drawback that spoils all the fun of hunting for treasure, looting and collecting – the weight limit. Your character cannot carry more than a certain weight, and the same goes for your companions, and in this huge game there is so much loot that you will inevitably have to part with valuables with tears in your eyes. Or will you? In fact, you have many ways to get around this limitation.

Unload your inventory

We understand that any self-respecting treasure hunter would want to do something like this last of all, but it really is the easiest and most accessible way to make your life easier. Moreover, we do not suggest that you throw your hard-earned trophies on the ground.

Firstly, you can always transfer the heaviest items to your Pawns via your inventory. Just remember to take them back if you decide to part with one of the mercenaries .

You can also leave useful things that you don’t need urgently, such as crafting materials , in storage during overnight stays in hotels or even get your own home, where your personal chest will always be available.

Level up your character and equipment

Another way to increase carrying capacity is to improve equipment and level up your character , which also increases this stat. Some passive buffs like “Muscle” for the “Fighter” vocation also provide this effect.

Yes, this will often happen naturally as you progress through the game, after gaining experience points for completing various missions and rare materials that can be given to the blacksmith to improve your gear, but the prospect of increasing your carry weight can be an additional motivation for you to achieve maximum progress in the shortest possible time.

Don’t pass by the gold beetles

Fortunately, the developers themselves realized the difficulties that players face due to the weight limit, but instead of removing this limitation completely, they added an unobvious mechanic to increase this characteristic, which involves hunting insects .

While traveling through the wild expanses of Dragon’s Dogma 2 , you may have noticed huge golden bugs on tree trunks and rocks. It turns out that by picking up one of them, you can carry 0.15 kg more, and this improvement also applies to your main pawn.

In fact, there are a huge number of these beetles in the game, and if you want, you can find each one if you follow all the Golden Beetle marks that are indicated on this interactive map .

Find special rings

Also, in addition to bugs, there are more familiar items that allow you to increase various characteristics.If we talk about the maximum carry weight, then in the game you can find three rings that increase this indicator.

The Ring of Victory and the Ring of Abundance can be exchanged at the Vocation Guild for 15 and 70 Seeker’s Tokens respectively. There are over 200 of these tokens in the game, and you can also find them on the interactive map under the name Seeker’s Token.And the Ring of Accumulation can simply be purchased for 6500 gold at Bjorn’s Armory in Wernworth.

Well, as a last resort, if you are too lazy to do all of the above and you are ready to cheat a little, you can install one of the modifications created by the same dissatisfied players.

If you just want to tweak the game mechanics a bit and make it fairer, we recommend checking out the Better Beetles mod , which greatly improves the effect of gold beetles, and Do Not Be Afraid of Excess Weight, which increases the Ring of Accumulation’s weight bonus to 500.

And for those who want to get rid of the restrictive frames forever, the Item Tweaks modification will help, which, in addition to many other useful functions, allows you to reset the weight of any purchased items.
