Waterfall Cave

Dragon's Dogma 2 guide · A major early-game dungeon
← All areas in this guide

Waterfall Cave is a dangerous, multi-level dungeon located northeast of the Borderwatch Outpost and west of the coastline. Players explore its dark caverns to battle aggressive undead, Saurians, and high-tier bosses, making it much harder than the surrounding early-game wilderness. Delving deep into the lower and upper chambers yields high-value loot chests, including powerful grimoires and unique gear, provided you can survive the encounters.

Tips

  • Waterfall Cave contains mid-game level threats like a Chimera and a Wight, so consider returning later with better gear if you visit directly after leaving the Borderwatch Outpost.
  • Bring Mages with Anodyne and Halidom, as the enemies here frequently inflict status ailments like poison and heavy physical damage.
  • If you trigger the Wight fight on the upper level, use ranged attacks to knock it out of the air while it prepares spells to make it vulnerable to grounded melee strikes.
