Dragon’s Dogma 2: Is there a Bakbattahl Portcrystal?

Fast travel is restricted in Dragon’s Dogma 2, but you can return quickly to a location using a Portcrystal. Bakbattahl is the capital city of Battahl, the second region you visit in Dragon’s Dogma 2, and serves as the environment for huge parts of the main story and the endgame content.

Rather than setting out on foot or taking an Oxcart for every trip, you may want to use a Portcrystal, and we’re here to let you know if that’s possible.

Does Dragon’s Dogma 2 have a Bakbattahl Portcrystal?

Bizarrely, there is no Portcrystal to unlock in Bakbattahl despite the size of this large city in Dragon’s Dogma 2—but there is a way to make your own and earn quick access to the capital city of Battahl.

Bakbattahl doesn’t have a static Portcrystal, so you must place your own. While they are a rare resource, Captain Brant gave you a Portcrystal before you departed for Battahl.

Can you place a Portcrystal in Bakbattahl in Dragon’s Dogma 2?

Yes, you can place your own Portcrystal in Bakbattahl. I recommend saving the Portcrystal from Captain Brant and placing it in Bakbattahl. You will regularly return to this area in Dragon’s Dogma 2.

If you used this Portcrystal, don’t worry because you can get additional Portcrystals using Wyrmslife Crystals at the Bay Wayside Shrine. If you want to speed up the process, you can also pay real money for a Portcrystal. One Portcrystal cost $2.99—I won’t judge you.

Best place to place your Portcrystal in Bakbattahl in Dragon’s Dogma 2

You can choose any location in Bakbattahl to place your Portcrystal, though I recommend placing it outside the inn or your house if you have purchased the Dwelling for sale in the city.

If you didn’t buy a home in Bakbattahl, place it outside the inn. The inn is in the center of the town, giving you easy access to any quests, vendors, and NPCs. Placing the Portcrystal at the gates of the city is another sensible option.
