Moonsbit Pass is a location in Dragon's Dogma.

Overview[]

A well traveled road that overlooks Gran Soren.

QUOTE DD2
I have led many troops through the treacherous crags of Moonsbit Pass. Its name comes from one of the great poet Lunorl's compositions. When he looked upon the moon obscured by the mountain's jagged peak, he saw a bite taken out of its surface. When I look upon the moon, I see a stern warning of the dangers that lie ahead. One must watch their footing carefully as they traverse the jagged path or else plummet to the rocks below. And keep your eyes trained on the sky, for harpies soar above the mountain and are known to attack unaware travelers.

The Moonsbit Pass leads from the southern road out of Gran Soren, that passes first through the Estan Plains, then Moonsbit Pass, to The Mountain Waycastle, the Manamia Trail and beyond.

There are gates at either end of the pass : the southern one at The Mountain Waycastle, and a northern one near the exit of the main road through the pass. Both are initially locked and will be opened during the quest Off With Its Head. The southern gate can be bypassed via a narrower path through these gorges.

The area is prone to rockfalls, and rolling boulders. The only habitation within the area is the Mountain Cottage. A path branching near the northern edge of the pass leads towards the sea and to the Moonshower Cliffs.

Inhabitants[]

The pass is home to Harpies, Wolves, Goblins, and Bandits. Antony and Stone may be found in the Mountain Cottage during the day.

In the Post-Game more dangerous Geo Saurians, Succubi, and Grimgoblins appear, as well as an Ogre and a Golem. The Mountain cottage is taken over by Skeleton Lords, and other skeletal enemies also appear at night.

Loot[]

Plants are rare, and fungi and ore deposits are almost unknown here. To the east at Moonshower Cliffs plants including Grandgrapes are relatively abundant.

Quests[]

Notes[]

  • In addition to the northern Mountain Waycastle, there is a southern gate that is initially closed. The gate is opened from within with a lever during the quest Off With Its Head - it can be bypassed using the other route via the pass.
  • There is a chest on a wooden platform adjacent to the southern gate. The platform can be accessed in a number of ways, most easily by Striders :
    • Take a running jump off the flat area above (where Harpys roost) - this will cause some Fall Damage. It is possible to avoid the damage by using Skull Splitter before the edge.
    • Lure a Harpy to the lower area near the gate, grab onto it, and fly it to the platform
    • Use Stepping Stone on the brazier below (or a pawn) and catch the wooden ledge.

Trivia[]

  • The southern gate can be opened before Off With Its Head by taking a very roundabout route around Gransys. The goblins giving ambush here will reappear even if defeated once, but once Off With Its Head is completed they never return to the gate.
