Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen video reveals further perils

The latest slice of Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen gameplay takes a look at a new category of enemies that players must face. Necrophagous beasts are a special breed that are drawn to the scent of decomposing flesh and can appear seemingly from nowhere.

Watch as a band of heroes descends into the depths of Bitterblack Isle and encounters the horrors below. After successfully defeating a ferocious Cockatrice, these stalwart warriors will encounter Necrophagous in various forms. Garms, a band of ravenous twisted lupine beasts that spew a blinding fog, descend on the carcass of the Cockatrice and attack the party; an Elder Ogre, a larger and deadlier form of its surface dwelling cousin, squares off with the party in a dark hallway; and most fearsome of all, the Cursed Dragon, twisted into a truly wretched foe by the darkest of magicks, bears down on the group, seeking to devour any flesh it can.
