Dragon's Dogma 2 (DD2) Dark Arisen

How to Summon the Gagana

Summon the Gagana

Summon the Gagana by laying 3 Saurians on the pyre during The Castle in the Ice quest of Dark Arisen DLC of Dragon's Dogma 2 (DD2). Read on to learn how to summon the Gagana, how to beat it, and its location!

How to Summon the Gagana

# Walkthrough
1
After you enter Gagana’s Grotto, Eir will ask you to summon a Gagana. To do this, you’ll need to place 1 Saurian corpse on each of the 3 pyres (3 in total).
2
Two Saurians are wandering near the pyres. You can also find a pack of Saurians by climbing the slope that faces the pyres.
3
Kill the Saurians and carry their corpses to the pyres, laying one on each then interact with each pyre to set the Saurian corpse on fire.
4
Once all 3 corpses are burning, a Gagana will fly down to fight you. Defeat it to obtain the Firebird Tallow required to melt the ice.

The Castle in the Ice Walkthrough

How to Beat the Gagana

Use Ice Damage

Use Ice
The Gagana takes extra damage from ice and resists fire, so build your party around ice. Bring ice enchantments, ice-based skills, and ice magick.

Fire-based attacks will do little here, and Tar won’t work because the Gagana is immune to it.

Focus Its Flame Sac

Flame Sac Exposed
Both of the Gagana’s main attacks are preceded by the fire sac in its chest swelling up and glowing. That swelling sac is its weak point, and hitting it while its swollen deals extra knockout damage.

Stay Clear of the Mouth When the Sac Glows

Fire Damage
The Gagana breathes fire often and hits hard, so stock up on curatives beforehand, especially anything that negates fire damage. Tanking its full breath of fire can 1-shot you even with decent gear.

Gagana Location

The Gagana is found in Gagana’s Grotto, southeast of the Norgan Snowfield. You first fight it during The Castle in the Ice quest, where Eir has you summon it to get the Firebird Tallow.

Once the quest is complete, you can return to Gagana’s Grotto and perform the summoning ritual again to re-summon the Gagana.
