Dragon’s Dogma 2is a true RPG that will use every resource and material the player can gather to reward them with powerful equipment. Often, the name and description of the resource will hint towards the enemy type from which the material can be gathered. However, some materials can be hard to find due to their low drop rate or the insufficient context surrounding them.
One such material is theBlackened Horn, which players will need toenhance most weapons and armorto level 3, the maximum level achievable without using Wyrmslife Crystals. For those unsure which beast drops the material and where it is most likely to spawn, the following guide will provide players with everything they need to know.
Where To Find Blackened Horn In Dragon’s Dogma 2
Blackened Horn is a potential item drop from a special variation of the Minotaur, theGoreminotaur. This is reiterated in the item description, which states that the Blackened Horn is “the severed horn of a Goreminotaur,” so players must seek out this beastly creature if they hope to acquire it. The itemcannot be purchased from any vendor, nor can it be collected as a drop from any treasure chest, so the player must take the fight to the Goreminotaur.
The Goreminotaur, in appearance, is more rugged and gnarly, with chains, torn clothing, and red eyes to distinguish itself from the Minotaur. In battle, it is more aggressive and can cover distances quickly. The best way to deal with a Goreminotaur is totarget its head and hornsand exploit its weakness by usingfire-based attacks. SomeVocations might be better suitedto fight this boss than compared to others.
Although much rarer than its standard Minotaur version, the Goreminotaur will still spawn inmultiple locations across the map. Since it is possible that players may not obtain the Blackened Horn on their first attempt at defeating the Goreminotaur, it is useful to keep in mind more than one location. Alternatively, players canhead to the same location after 3 days of restso that the Goreminotaur respawns.
After reachingBattahl, there are two particular locations in the southwest of the region that you can explore where the Goreminotaur will spawn. The first is inDigger’s Ruins, and the other is inSandspire Den. Finally, there is also another location that houses the Goreminotaur in theMountain Base Cave, southwest ofVolcanic Island Camp.
The Goreminotaur also has random occurrences in different parts of the map. For instance, in our post-game playthrough ofDD2, a Goreminotaur spawned in the area just east of Volcanic Island Camp on the way to the Excavation Site.
How To Duplicate Blackened Horn In Dragon’s Dogma 2
Players who want to simplify the process and cut down the effort of beating countless Goreminotaurs to obtain a sufficient number of Blackened Horns to enhance their gear can try duplicating this material atIbrahim’s Scrap StoreinCheckpoint Rest Town. This is the same shop you can visit if you want torestore lost quest itemsinDragon’s Dogma 2.
Simply take the Blackened Horns in possession and ask Ibrahim to forge the item. Rest two days at the nearest inn or bench, then return to Ibrahim to collect the forged Blackened Horns, which cannot be told apart in any aspect.
