Two new Dragon’s Dogma 2 mods have been released for PC, improving the game’s visual effects and tattoos.
Created by modder ‘CnRJay’, his 4K “High-Res VFX” and “High-res Tattoos” texture packs use AI upscaling to vastly enhance the game’s standard visual effects and tattoos on characters. “I have gone through an upscaled every single VFX texture to 4K”, the modder writes. The visual effects 4K pack includes magic effects, liquid, blood, sparks, dust, decals, and more.
In order to use these 4K texture packs on PC, you’ll need to download and install the “Fluffy Mod Manager” for the game as well. We’ve included some screenshots of these new mods action below:

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is available worldwide now for PC and consoles. In case you’re into modding, be sure to check out this ray tracing mod as well. Here’s what we wrote about this long-overdue sequel in launch review earlier this month:
“What is however undoubtedly unclear is how to change the Core Skills. Whereas Weapon Skills can be swapped easily once you are at a Vocation guild (or at a campsite), there is no discernible way to change your Core Skills. Some of those only modify existing skills, but others are supposed to change them entirely. For instance, the default for the Mystic Spearhand is Redouting Bolt, but I also unlocked Foreboding Bolt and could never use it due to the lack of any explanation.
I must also say that the lack of a dodge button threw me off at first, given that almost every action and action RPG game is equipped with it nowadays. Sure, there are other ways to defend yourself depending on the Vocation, and you could conceivably use the sprint button as a sort of awkward dodge, but it’s not the same thing.
Still, even with these caveats, fighting in Dragon’s Dogma 2 is very enjoyable. As usual with games in this genre, most of the best fights are those against bosses (except for the final fight, which is needlessly long), especially large monsters. Climbing massive cyclops or towering drakes to reach their weak points before your stamina runs out is as much of a thrill as it was with the previous game.”
