The opening toDragon’s Dogma 2whisks players through the game’s introductory cutscenes, a brief tutorial in the Excavation Site, and ultimately ends up dropping the Arisen off somewhere in northern Vermund. The Arisen is found by a patrol, and brought back to Borderwatch, but soon after they are instructed to go to Melve.
Melve is a location that the Arisen willhaveto visit as part of the main quest. In Borderwatch, there are a few side quests and areas to explore nearby, but eventually there isn’t much else to do but head to Melve. This guide to how to get to Melve details two routes – one forDD2players just starting out, one for players later in the game who want to return to Melve for quests – or to unlocka powerful and flashy new Vocation.
Updated April 12th, 2024 by Russ Boswell: Making it to Melve in Dragon’s Dogma 2 can be a bit confusing for players who don’t know how to travel back there from the main hub city. Although players can walk there, it’s a long and arduous trek just to make it back. Thankfully, players can snag an Ox Cart and ride it all the way to the singed town, saving them a lot of time and effort. To better show playershow to take the Ox Cart to Melve in Dragon’s Dogma 2, the following guide now includes a video.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 Melve Location
Melve is located south of Borderwatch Outpost, andplayers heading there for the first timeshould follow either one of the southward roads to get there. But later in the game, if you want to return to Melve,Dragon’s Dogma 2’s lack of a Fast Travel system means you’ll have to make it there on foot – or by Oxcart.
On the world map, when fully zoomed out, Melve is located close to the very northern edge of the world map. The majority of the beginning of the game takes place in the northern reaches of Vermund – if you’re far away, consider using aFerrystoneto teleport to thePortcrystalin Vernworth to cut back on travel time.
How To Get To Melve - From Borderwatch
When you are ready to head to Melve from Borderwatch Outpost, head to the Outpost’s southwest or southeast exits.
How To Get To Melve - From Vernworth
Players looking to return to Melve later on in the gameshould first locate the settlement (at the very north of the world map). Depending on how far it is from your current location, either plan a route on foot,take an Ox Cart to Vernworth, or use a Ferrystone to fast travel to the Vernworth Portcrystal. Once in the capital, head to the northeast side of the city to reach the Melve Oxcart station.
Wait here until an Oxcart arrives, then pay the toll to get whisked away to Melve. Speed up the trip by pressing the Doze Off input, but be warned that your sleep might be interrupted by a group of Bandits, Goblins, or something much worse.
