Drenched is one of the most common status effects in Dragon’s Dogma 2, as it’s inflicted whenever you come into direct contact with water. This means walking into a river or adventuring in the rain will give your characters the Drenched status effect.

Use a Parching Concoction to cure the Drenched status in Dragon’s Dogma 2. With a weight of just 0.1 kilograms, you can carry plenty of these in your inventory for whenever needed—and you can get hold of them fairly quickly.

Alternatively, a Mage with the Halidom skill can cure the Drenched status by casting the spell. Halidom is unlocked at level three in the Mage Vocation.

The easiest way to obtain a Parching Concoction is to combine two pieces of Hill Beech Bark, which you can regularly find on the side of trees around Vernworth. Alternatively, Choppers or Harpies drop them when defeated.

You can also buy Parching Concoctions from vendors in Dragon’s Dogma 2. To locate a vendor selling Parching Concoctions, look out for the potion symbol on the map when you’re in a town or city. This marks the location of an Apothecary, like the one shown in the image above.

Lastly, you can loot Parching Concoctions from treasure chests while out exploring, so don’t leave any stone unturned while out on an adventure.
