After weeks of debate and voting, DualShockers has assembled its list of the greatest, most influential, most important RPGs of all time.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 can be a tough game. NPCs can die in the blink of an eye. Your Pawns can get crushed. You yourself can come up against impossible odds if you wander into the wrong section of the world. But Capcom wasn’t merciless when making this game. There are items and skills that can mitigate some of the game’s hardest mechanics, which is whereWakestone Shardscome in.

Find Wakestone Shards In Chests
Wakestone shards can be found in any kind of chest (even the really raggedy looking ones), butthey’re more common in these black and gold rare chests.In my experience, the more difficult a chest is to get to, the better the loot, and it doesn’t get much better than Wakestone rewards.

Get Wakestone Shards As Quest Rewards
Quests are a great way to get all kinds of loot. And you’re not limited to the quests you find around the world. Pawns can also come with quests that offer great rewards.I received a Wakestone Shard for completing a Pawn’s quest, and the Pawn was pretty great as well.So, when selecting a Pawn to team up with, look out for their quests and rewards.

What Do Wakestone Shards Do
When you have three Wakestone Shards, they will automatically combine into a genuine Wakestone.The Wakestone can be used to bring back the dead. In case you didn’t know, if NPCs die, they’re gone forever.So, if an NPC dies that you’re particularly attached to, you will have a limited amount of time to bring them back with a Wakestone.Likewise, the Wakestone can be used to bringyouback to life. When you die, you normally have to start over from your last save point. If you use a Wakestone, you can pop right back up. If you’re very close to beating a boss fight, this could be worthwhile.
