Dragon's Dogma Wiki

Shrine of Futile Truths is a location in Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen.

Overview[]

The Shrine of Futile Truths is first entered from the Gutter of Misery's second floor and exits into the Corridor of Emptiness on the first floor. The Shrine is a large circular open arena bordered with a spiral staircase that descends to its lower floor. It is illuminated by moonlight shining through the oculus at its zenith.

Pre-Daimon: once the Arisen reaches the first arch on the staircase, the Gazer will descend from the ceiling and engage the party. The Arisen has to kill the Gazer in order to unlock the door to the Corridor of Emptiness, leading to a shortcut to Bitterblack Isle Harbor and to the deeper parts of Bitterblack Isle.

Post-Daimon: the Arisen may just run past the Gazer to unlock the shortcut, defeating it is not required anymore. If the Arisen does slay the Gazer, it will respawn after 5 - 7 days.

Notes[]

  • The voice of a Dead Arisen can be heard in a location here.
  • When entered from the Corridor of Emptiness, the abundant curatives within make this a good farming location.
  • (BUG) Pawns have location-specific lines for this place, in the vicinity of the exit. They have no audio whatsoever.
