Before you begin, though, you need a camping kit and a fire. You can buy camping kits from vendors in towns and villages, and as for fire, you will simply encounter it while in the wild. If you’re near a camping fire, you’ll see it as an icon on your map. Fire is usually located near the main path, and if you head deep into the forest, you probably won’t find it.

Once you set up your camp, you can fire up the grill that meat that’s been in your inventory for days now. Here’s how to grill every type of meat in Dragon’s Dogma 2

List of all types of meat in Dragon’s Dogma 2

One of the most important mechanics in Dragon’s Dogma 2 mind is the passage of time. Food can go bad in your inventory, but you can still eat it. Here’s the list of all types of meat you can grill:

  • Scrag of Beast
  • Aged Scrag of Beast
  • Rotten Scrag of Beast
  • Dried Meat
  • Exquisite Dried Meat
  • Beast-Steak
  • Aged Beast-Steak
  • Rotten Beast-Steak

For aged and rotten versions of these meats, you simply want to leave them in your bags. While the meat will become aged only after one day in your inventory, it becomes rotten after it sits in your inventory for a couple days or longer.

Once you’re safe and cozy in your camp, approach the fire and choose the meat you want to grill through the interface that pops up when you interact with the fire. You can then watch the hot grilling action in a cutscene. Grilled meat will give bonuses to your Strength, Defense, and Stamina, and the better quality meat you grill, the better the buffs. You have to grill all eight types of meat to get The Barbecue-Maister achievement.

Generally, you’ll camp during the night to avoid monsters lurking in the dark. One of the core mechanics in Dragon’s Dogma 2 is the passage of time. The night is the most dangerous time of the day, and you want to camp out if you’re not resting in an inn. This will heal you and your Pawns
