Day and Night Cycle Guide for Dragon’s Dogma 2
How Does Day and Night Work in Dragon’s Dogma 2?
In Dragon’s Dogma 2, time moves at a constant pace, just as it does in the real world. Some of the game’s features are available during the day, while others are only accessible at night. This requires gamers to manage their time and prioritize tasks that will benefit them the most.
Gameplay Elements Affected by the Time of Day
There are monsters that spawn exclusively at night.
The night is full of darkness as well as mysteries. During the night, monsters, some of which may be rare, spawn and may try to catch you off guard. However, defeating these monsters may also be a great way to obtain rare items or specific items that cannot be found from monsters that spawn during the day.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 Monsters List
There may be Side Quests that are only accessible during the Day or at Night.
The game contains numerous side quests that players can complete for rewards. However, some of these quests may only be discovered during the day or night. In addition, there are timed side quests, which have a time limit and need players’ undivided attention in order to complete them within the time limit. If the time runs out, the quest will be completely missed and will remain unclear for the rest of the game.

Camp out if you are fatigued.
There are a lot of things to do throughout the day, which may cause weariness for both you and your allies. If this occurs, you can always choose to camp out and rest for the entire night. Doing so will also allow you to communicate with your allies and strengthen your bond with them.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 What to Do at Camp
Resting for the night will speed up the respawn time of other monsters during the day.
If you decide to rest for the night, monsters that you have defeated during the day may respawn after your party wakes up. However, some monsters take more time to respawn and may not immediately show up after the night.
