Boltscaleare a type of material inDragon’s Dogma 2that comes from the tissue of serpents. It can be used toenhance all types of equipmentat one of the various Smithy’s throughout the land, such as Roderick in Vernworth. By paying the enhancement cost and using the required materials, you may significantly alter the stats of the equipment of your Arisen. Upgrading equipment will not only lower the carry weight of the item, but it will also increase stats like Magick and overall strength.
If you’re on the hunt for Boltscales and not sure where to look, we’ve found a pretty easy location that can be accessed in the early game ripe for farming the material. Here’swhere to find Boltscales inDragon’s Dogma 2.
Early Boltscale Farming Location in Dragon’s Dogma 2
Boltscales can be found by defeating the serpentine enemies hiding within theDarkhorde Cave inDragon’s Dogma 2. We have two images above showing the cave’s general location, but for those needing additional help, thecave is southwest of Melveand northwest of the northern Trevo Mine exit/entrance. We got there by traveling far up north from Harve Village.
The cave system isn’t that large, but you should still be able to defeat 3–5 monsters to farm a couple of Boltscales. If you want to return to the cave to keep defeating more of the monsters, you’ll need to wait and pass the time for a couple of days. Each monster’s death will reward players with about 959 XP and 90 DCP (Discipline), so even if you aren’t getting the items you need in a timely manner, you should still be able to work towards leveling up your squad.
Luckily, there is a campfire and Riftstone outside Darkhorde Cave. So, if you’ve picked up acouple of camping kits, you can use those to pass the time and then wait for more monsters to spawn. Just be sure to use a high-quality kit, or else you and yourgroup of Pawnsmight get attacked in the middle of the night.
