Ward of Regret is a location in Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen.

Overview[]

The Ward of Regret is an area located on Bitterblack Isle. It connects the Midnight Helix and Duskmoon Tower.

There is a broken Riftstone in the southern area behind some gates which may be restored for 3,500 Rift Crystals.

Initially the area around the Riftstone with a quarter circle ground plan is inhabited by Giant Undead, with Skeleton Lords within the locked chambers, as well as a pair of Skeleton Sorcerers. Further in the path along wooden boards over the underground water reservoir has a chest that has become the permanent residence of a Maneater.

A broken wall and rough tunnel leads further into the area, with an alternative shortcut that is initially locked via a lever operated barred gate (marked on the in-game map with an "!"). The short tunnel is infested with Giant Bats, and the room leading to the shortcut by Spiders.

Entry to the shortcut, high on the far wall via wooden scaffolding, with stacked barrels allowing even a fighter to access it.

The further part of the ward is home to a troop of Skeletons led by a Skeleton Brute, and a group of Giant Undead and Skeleton Sorcerers.

The exit room leading to the Midnight Helix contains several Hanging Bodies, and usually a few undead and spellcasting skeletons.

Furthermore, an Elder Ogre may occasionally appear in the passages here if the remains of other creatures attract it.

Post-Daimon the area becomes home to: several Skeleton Brutes, Poisoned Undead and a Golden Knight / Silver Knight pair with the possibility of an Elder Ogre appearance, or Banshees, Specters, Wraith, Poisoned Undead and a Living Armor with Death appearing randomly.

Loot[]

A Macabre Sculpture can be found here.

Gatherable items include Bitterblack Weapon Lv.1, Bitterblack Gear Lv.2, Bitterblack Novelty Lv.3, and very rarely a Laurel Circlet or Noble Earring from weapon piles. Items found lying around include Airtight Flask, and Staminal Drench; whilst items found in breakable items such as crates include Demon's Periapt, Interventive, Coin Purse of Charity, Moldy Carrot, and Rusted Daggers.

Crimplecap grow here, and minable ore deposits may yield Lava Rock, Hunk of Platinum, Alluvial Yore-Ore, and Copper Ore.

Pawn Chatter[]

"Our foes are fearsome strong. Best we made a point of treating any wounds immediately."
"Even the same path can offer different views 'tween coming and going."
"Let us be doubly sure to collect any spoils left after the fight."

Notes[]

  • The voice of a Dead Arisen can be heard in a location here.
  • (Glitch) Post-Daimon, when encountering the group of Specters and Wraiths, some of the apparations may seemingly disappear mid-fight. This occurs as a result of their ability to move "out of bounds" of the playable area, losing aggro as they do so. To fight these enemies again, exit and re-enter the Ward to reset their position.
