The Ancient Battleground is an area you might not stumble on naturally during your travels inDragon’s Dogma 2as it’s off the beaten path, but it’s worth venturing to for a few reasons. In addition to a few notable hefty beasties to fell, crumbling ruins to explore, and Seeker’s Tokens to find, there are some catapults that can be used to open up new pathways.

Here we’re going to cover where to find each of the catapults (as the latter two are technically outside the Ancient Battleground), how to use them, and what you’ll open up by doing so. Just watch out for the cyclops and drake battling it out in this area.

Where Is The Ancient Battleground?

The Ancient Battleground can be foundto the northeast of the Checkpoint Town, just to the west of the clouded area on the map, as marked on the map above.

It’s important to know that you will finda DrakeandCyclopsfighting at the Ancient Battleground and the Drake can follow you to the top level.

Additionally, exploring along the top level after venturing through the ruins will lead to finding more Cyclops.

To the east of the battleground you can find an NPC calledOskar who will give you a new quest involving the Ancient Battleground, ‘Tolled to Rest’.

The first catapult is fairly easy to get to as it’spositioned in front of the Ancient Battleground ruins, you just need to navigate past the cyclops and drake.You’ll need three boulders to break open the secret room, which might mean going to grab another from further away from the catapult.

Once you’ve used three boulders on the catapult, the room will be open! Head over to the newly opened ruins (located at the bottom left of the Ancient Battleground map) and inside you’ll find aSeeker’s Tokenand a chest with aWakestone Shardinside.

Much like the first catapult, it’ll take three hits to clear the pathway to the east with this catapult, but fortunately there are enough rocks nearby.

Once it’s clear,follow the path aroundand climb over what remains of the debris, thencontinue on the pathuntil you reach a small pond beside some gravestones. There are some chopper enemies here to be aware of.
