One of the most common cloaks I saw during the early game of Dragon’s Dogma 2 was the Saurianscale Cape, a reptilian-appointed shoulder piece I couldn’t find to save my life. Thankfully, there are two main ways to get the Saurianscale Cape: one where you find it and another where you buy it.
How to Get the Saurianscale Cape in Dragon’s Dogma 2
You can get the Saurianscale Cape very early in your Dragon’s Dogma 2 adventure. It’s hidden in a chest in the deepest depths of Stormwind Cave, which you’ll find at the southern tip of Harve Village, itself a short ways west of Vernworth.
To get the Cape, you need to head to the n. You’ll know you’re in the right place if you come to a deep, blue-lit cavern whose exit is blocked by collapsed columns. Defeat any enemies between you and the end of the cave, then hug the right wall until you see a black and gold treasure chest. The Saurianscale Cape is inside.
Once you’ve found the first version, you should be able to buy additional Capes in the Harve general store for a little more than 1,000 gold. While most of the capes you find later in the game will get more and more expensive, they also won’t be as outlandish and striking in appearance.
As for what you get out of wearing the Saurianscale Cape, as an over-armor piece of clothing, it doesn’t provide many defenses or knockdown resistance, only providing a single point of Strike resistance. The main reason you want to wear cloaks, capes, and such in Dragon’s Dogma 2 is for the debilitation resistance. The Cape provides a 2% bonus to your Fire elemental res and a 2% bonus to burned and blighted (poisoned) resistances. Poison is particularly nasty, as it has one of the longest durations in the game, so any help taking that down is welcome.
I couldn’t find any way to unblock the path in Stormwind Cave that leads deeper, but something tells me there is. In the meantime, you now know where to find the Saurianscale Cape and how to get as many of them as you’d like. You might try setting them as rewards for early-game pawn quests to see if you get more takers. You never know.
