Dragon’s Dogma 2 The Barbecue-Maister: How to grill every type of meat in DD2

While taking a break from your adventures in Dragon’s Dogma 2, you can light up the barbecue and grill any meat you might have at hand.

Before you begin, though, you need a camping kit and a fire. You can buy camping kits from vendors in towns and villages, and as for fire, you will simply encounter it while in the wild. If you’re near a camping fire, you’ll see it as an icon on your map. Fire is usually located near the main path, and if you head deep into the forest, you probably won’t find it.

Once you set up your camp, you can fire up the grill that meat that’s been in your inventory for days now. Here’s how to grill every type of meat in Dragon’s Dogma 2. 

List of all types of meat in Dragon’s Dogma 2

• Aged Scrag of Beast
• Rotten Scrag of Beast
• Dried Meat
• Exquisite Dried Meat
