I’ve found that all of the best weapons for each vocation can only be bought from the Dragonforged, who is an NPC you’ll meet at Bay Wayside Shrine in the Battahl region. As you progress through the main story, you’ll eventually be taken back to Stormwind Cave, where you must go through the dungeon again and find a path leading back to Battahl. You’ll find the Dragonforged in the Shrine along that path.

You can still find him in the endgame section, once you reach the Unmoored World by getting on the path to the true ending. It’s also worth noting that he won’t start selling these weapons until you reach the Unmoored World, so while

While the Dragonforged weapons don’t come with debilitations or elemental attacks, they do boast the highest attack and magic stats, which more than make up for that shortcoming.

How to Get Wyrmslife Crystals

As for how to actually buy them from the Dragonforged, you’ll need a special currency in Dragon’s Dogma 2 called Wyrmslife Crystals. These can be obtained by killing the drakes and dragons that spawn all over the open-world. Be prepared to grind, though, as you’ll need a lot of Crystals to collect all of the weapons.

In addition to that, you’ll also want to be mindful of the Dragonsplague infection, as there’s a chance your pawns could get infected by fighting a dragon.

And those are our picks for the best weapons to get in Dragon’s Dogma 2.
