Dragon’s Dogma 2: How to cure the Petrification status effect in DD2

While fighting formidable enemies in Dragon’s Dogma 2, you’ll continuously encounter new attacks that can also apply debuffs on your character. Also known as status effects, not curing these can have deadly results, and that’s the case for the Petrification status effect.

All debilitations come with a cure, but I didn’t think I would need them as a skilled warrior. My assumption quickly changed after facing a Medusa who left her mark on me with the Petrification status effect. At the time, I didn’t have an instant response in my inventory, so I paid a fatal price. However, you shouldn’t have to suffer the same fate as I did.

The quickest cure for the Petrification status is using a Malleating Elixir. If you’re too late and turn into a stone, you’ll need Wakestones to fully recover. However, if a Pawn turns to stone, you can’t save them.
