Here’s everything you need to know about Golden Trove Beetles in Dragon’s Dogma 2.

What Are Golden Trove Beetles in Dragon’s Dogma 2¶

Golden Trove Beetles are collectibles that players often find around the overworld’s woodlands, ruins, and other locations. They are typically hidden in trees, piles of rubble, or other such clutter. Plenty of them are scattered around the world, so you are bound to run into them on your travels.

You can often identify them via their scarab/beetle aesthetic with an orange-brown color scheme. When you approach one, pick it up, check your inventory for it, and then use it. You and your pawn will gain around 0.15KG in encumbrance bonus.

While at first, this is a very negligible number, it often means that for every two you pick up, you can carry three really small items, such as the 0.10 weight Greenwarish and other items of that nature. When you get more and more, this will eventually lead to an extra KG of weight plus, add in the fact it copies to your main pawn. It really does help carry the nitty and gritty parts of inventory management.

Note that when your encumbrance increases, it will change the ratios of where very light, light, average, heavy, and very heavy weight numbers begin and end. So, the extra carrying capacity is massively beneficial for those. Note that changing into a different encumbrance classification affects climbing speed, stamina regeneration, movement speed, and other important factors. So, once again, it is incredibly useful to collect Golden Trove Beetles in Dragon’s Dogma 2.
