Dragon's Dogma 2 Gift Giving Guide: How to Give a Gift

In Dragon's Dogma 2, players can interact with NPCs scattered throughout the game world. One way to increase affinity with these characters is by giving them gifts. Higher affinity levels can lead to various benefits, such as discounts from shopkeepers and unique dialogue options. This guide will explain how to give gifts to NPCs in Dragon's Dogma 2 and highlight the advantages of doing so.

How to Give Gifts to NPCs

Giving gifts to NPCs in Dragon's Dogma 2 is a simple process, but the game doesn't make it immediately apparent. To give a gift, follow these steps:

1. Interact with an NPC by holding B on Xbox, Circle on PlayStation, or left-clicking on PC.
2. During the dialogue, press the gift button (X on Xbox, Square on PlayStation, or left-click on PC) quickly after the introductory line.
3. Choose a gift from your inventory.
4. Confirm your selection by selecting "Yes" on the pop-up window.

Choosing the Right Gift

Not all gifts are created equal in Dragon's Dogma 2. Each NPC has their own preferences. To find out what an NPC likes, consult the NPC Logbook in the History tab of the Pause Menu. Scroll through the list of NPCs you've encountered and check their "Likes" section.

NPCs generally prefer items that fall into one of the following categories:

• Beautiful Items: Flowers, Shards, and other visually appealing objects.
• Fancy Items: Expensive items purchased from merchants, such as rings and potions.
• Interesting Items: Weapons, armor, and monster parts like bones.
• Adorable Items: Beetles, Flowers, and Shards.
• Rare Items: Uncommon drops from monsters.
• Expensive Items: High-priced items from merchants and stores.

Giving gifts to NPCs is an essential aspect of Dragon's Dogma 2 that can help you build relationships, unlock perks, and progress through the game. By following the steps outlined in this guide and choosing the right gifts for each NPC, you can maximize your affinity levels and reap the rewards.
