The Tainted Mountain is a location in Dragon's Dogma.

The Tainted Mountain is located in the mountainous region dividing west and east Gransys.

Description[]

"Heed well this place, Arisen.
Know the frailty of the works of man.
This hold once stood proud and firm...
'Twas the fool's decision of a man too weak brought it down."
- The Dragon

In Dragon's Dogma the Tainted Mountain is accessed from The Tainted Mountain Temple during the quest The Final Battle. A ruined city with high bridges and towers is located on the upper slopes of the mountain - here the Arisen and pawns faced the onslaught of the The Dragon before the culmination of the battle on the mountains summit.

The mountain summit is a barren crater at the peak of the tainted mountain - here the Arisen finally defeated The Dragon.

After the Dragon[]

After The Final Battle the path through the mountains is blocked, and the Temple destroyed - the route from the Grand Hall in The Tainted Mountain Temple can still be taken, but is blocked by a rockfall.

Here can be found two chests: the high status one contains either a Dragon Knight's Cloak, Saving Grace, Threaded Cudgel, Chilling Razors, Solar Providence, Cyclops Sigil, Crossed Cinquedea, or Unfettered Claw; whilst the lesser one contains either a Dragon Knight's Helm, Stalwart Bow, Dragon's Den, Flame Skirt, Dragon Band, Herald's Helix, Angel's Sanctum, or Noble Limbs.

  • In an early conception of the history and geography of Gransys the final battle took place on a separate island, off the northwest coast of gransys. For more information see Dragon's Dogma World and Lore and the article Dragon's Dogma.
  • In Dragon's Dogma : The Beginning [ドラゴンズドグマ ザ ビギニング] - the Tainted Mountain is described as a former volcano - it says that a thousand years before the time of Savan an eruption created the crater at its peak - the King of that region then established a fortress there, taking advantage of the craters for defensive purposes. Around a hundred years later a Dragon took up roost there, and the fortress was abandoned.
