In Dragon's Dogma 2, I've come to an unfortunate realization. My heart sinks as I dwell on the problem, knowing that this will likely mean I'm going to be locked out of earning a trophy. I've just completed a series of riddles presented by the Sphinx, holding my breath each time I give my answer and she hits with that unnerving stare of hers. But the last trial she puts forward is essentially a memory test… and it's one I can't hope to pass.
Everything was going well until I was met with the Riddle of Rumination. How can I possibly recall where I found my very first Seeker Token in a game absolutely drowning in the medal-like collectibles? Not only was it many, many in-game hours ago, it was also weeks ago in reality. The collectibles are often hard to spot as it is, and my memory of the start of the adventure was foggy at best. I'd heard the Trickster vocation - which I had yet to unlock - had a handy ability that might be able to help me, but ultimately this final trial would still rely on my ability to recall the points I'd gone to early on. It felt like an impossible task and a particularly big ask from a lapsed player who stepped away from the game for some time.
