Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen is set to take the player to the dark and expansive caverns of the Bitterblack Isle, and the development team at Capcom is making Rift crystals one of the main ways in which players will be able to light their way as they go on adventures.

Special Rift stones will be found throughout the levels and can be repaired with a specific number of crystals.

Once they are complete, players can use them to hire the Pawns that Dragon’s Dogma is known for and enter the Rift, according to Siliconera.

Gamers can also use crystals to simply power their torch, which is essential because they will have to get through some very dark caverns where new enemies with capable sneak attack lurk.

Finally, Rift crystals can also be used in torches as offensive weapons, emitting rays that have an impact on enemies.
