Learn how to use campsites in Dragon's Dogma 2 to cook meat, gain powerful buffs, and avoid the Blighted debuff. Master The Barbecue Maister achievement!
Alright, so you've found a Camping Kit and set up camp. Nice! Now, when you interact with the campfire, you'll get the option to cook up some meat you've been carrying. This is super handy because cooking and eating meat gives you all sorts of buffs. Just be careful – if you cook rotten meat, you'll get the Blighted debuff instead. It's a small thing, but getting into the habit of cooking at campsites early on will really help you out, especially with aiming for that achievement, 'The Barbecue Maister'.
The passage of time when you rest can also age your meat, which is great for buffs, but it can also push it over the edge into rotten territory. Here's a breakdown of what you can cook and the effects:
| Meat | Strength | Defense | Stamina | Recovery | Blight |
| Rotten Scrag of Beast | + | + | – | – | Yes |
| Rotten Beast-Steak | + | + | – | – | Yes |
| Scrag of Beast | +++ | +++ | +++ | – | No |
| Beast Steak | ++++ | ++++ | ++++ | – | No |
| Aged Scrag of Beast | ++++ | ++++ | ++++ | ++++ | No |
| Aged Beast-Steak | +++++ | +++++ | +++++ | No |
