While fighting formidable enemies in Dragon’s Dogma 2, you’ll continuously encounter new attacks that can also apply debuffs on your character. Also known as status effects, not curing these can have deadly results, and that’s the case for the Petrification status effect.
All debilitations come with a cure, but I didn’t think I would need them as a skilled warrior. My assumption quickly changed after facing a Medusa who left her mark on me with the Petrification status effect. At the time, I didn’t have an instant response in my inventory, so I paid a fatal price. However, you shouldn’t have to suffer the same fate as I did.
How to get rid of Petrification status in Dragon’s Dogma 2
The quickest cure for the Petrification status is using a Malleating Elixir. If you’re too late and turn into a stone, you’ll need Wakestones to fully recover. However, if a Pawn turns to stone, you can’t save them.
What happens when you get the Petrification status in Dragon’s Dogma 2?
