How to revive Pawns in Dragon’s Dogma 2
If your Pawn loses all their HP, a noise will ring out and a marker will appear on your mini-map to show their location. Once this happens, you’ll have a few minutes to revive them. Head over to them, and a button prompt will appear above them. Simply press this and you’ll bring them back to life, as well as any other nearby Pawns that are down.
Sometimes, you might not even need to do it yourself. If you have at least one other Pawn in your party that is still up and running, they can sometimes revive other Pawns themselves. Just make sure that you’ve got the enemy handled and your other Pawn will head off to revive their teammates.
Alex’s Advice
Remember not to rush into water if one of your Pawns is drowning. They can be revived later at a Riftstone, but if you go too far into the water you could end up dying yourself.
If you don’t make it in time, your Pawn will be ‘forfeit’. This means that the only way to revive them is to enter a Riftstone and look for them. You can use the search tools to find them, and even get a unique bit of dialogue where they thank you for looking for them again. Be aware that you may have to pay a fee to re-hire them.
