Updated April 12, 2024, by Andrew Scariati: We've added helpful tips if you're searching for the Dragon's Dogma 2 Wyrmslife Crystal vendor and an additional source for amassing more. Don't miss out on the huge haul of Wyrmslife Crystals you can farm in the Unmoored World, as you can rack up hundreds of WLCs in a single playthrough.

What Are Wyrmslife Crystals?

Wyrmslife Crystals are the calcified red droplets of blood from dragons or creatures with draconic blood (like drakes).

These Wyrmslife Crystals (WLCs) are a rare currency that can be exchanged for valuable items by trading with the Dragonforged.

The Dragonforged is a special NPC you will encounter toward the end of Dragon's Dogma 2's main story.

While these rare crystals will take time and effort to acquire, the rewards you can earn via exchanging them are unique and extremely powerful.

Where Can You Get Wyrmslife Crystals?

You can get Wyrmslife Crystals as:

1. A drop reward for defeating a dragon or drake, particularly the Purgener bosses in the Unmoored World.
2. A quest reward for completing one of Dragon's Dogma 2's late-game quests, including post-game.
3. A rare inventory item available for purchase from a traveling merchant.
4. A rare material randomly discovered by a pawn with the Forager Specialization.
5. A stolen item from Drakes (while knocked down) using the Thief's Pilfer or Plunder Weapon Skill. Up to 20 can be stolen at once.

You will receive 90 Wyrmslife Crystals for defeating each Purgener boss , so be sure to defeat them all once you're in the Unmoored World.

While you can acquire these Crystals whenever you're powerful enough to defeat a draconic enemy, you won't receive them as a reward from a quest until much later in the game.

Thus, the best way to hunt down Wyrmslife Crystals in Dragon's Dogma 2 is by killing draconic enemies, as they can be sought out in Vermund and Battahl, and often reward several WLCs.

Draconic enemies are extremely strong creatures and should not be taken lightly.

Level 30 or higher is recommended to tackle these ferocious beasts, but you might be able to defeat them earlier.

Just know it will be a struggle if you are too under-leveled or under-equipped.

When you're ready to hunt some drakes, head out with a party of pawns – including a Mage to heal – and prepare for the fight of your life as you battle to acquire this precious reward from your foes.

What Can You Buy With Wyrmslife Crystals?

Later in Dragon's Dogma 2's story, you will come across an NPC named The Dragonforged, a former Arisen who gave up on his fight with the dragon, and now collects WLCs in exchange for certain rare curios.

Essentially, he functions as the Dragon's Dogma 2 Wyrmslife Crystal vendor.

Later, once you have finished the game's ending , you'll encounter the Dragonforged once more , this time with a much bigger inventory of weapons and gear.

He retains his expanded in the Unmoored World and New Game Plus.

Ferrystones and an additional Portcrystal are essential means of fast traveling in Dragon's Dogma 2, and will prove exceptionally valuable in your journey.

The UnmakingArrow offers a free instant kill on the target of your choosing, but the game will lock you into your choice by saving once you decide to fire the arrow.

You will acquire several WLCs later in the story, so do not worry about spending them when you want.
