In Dragon's Dogma 2, managing your pawn's inventory is crucial, especially when you decide to send them away. Let's dive into what happens to the items in a pawn's inventory after they are fired and how you can make sure you don't lose valuable resources.
Do you get items back when you discard a pawn in Dragon's Dogma 2?
When you decide to discard a pawn in Dragon's Dogma 2, it is important to know that some items in their inventory will leave with them. This means that if you don't manually retrieve the items you want to keep, they will be lost once the pawn is removed. Here is a step by step of the process and implications:
- Manual Recovery: Before discarding a pawn, make sure you manually transfer any items you want to keep from their inventory to yours. This action must be performed every time you plan to release a pawn to avoid losing any items they are carrying.
- Item Loss: If you discard a pawn without handing over their items, those items will be permanently lost. They do not return to your inventory or appear elsewhere in the game. They simply disappear along with the pawn.
- Gifts to Hired Peons: Items given to hired pawns as gifts are an exception. These items will not return to you after the pawn is fired, as they are meant to be gifts to the player who owns the hired pawn.
- Valuable Items: Be especially careful with valuable objects or equipment. Always double check the pawn's inventory for any rare or crucial items before deciding to discard them.
- Reemployment of Peons: Once a pawn is dismissed and leaves with items, rehiring them to retrieve those items is not an option. The dismissal process is final, and all items not manually recovered will be considered lost.

How to recover your items after discarding a pawn in Dragon's Dogma 2
To get your items back after discarding a pawn in Dragon's Dogma 2, check your storage box at the nearest Inn. Your items must be transported back to the chest from the possession of your dismissed pawn. This was confirmed by my colleague who plays the game on PC, but it didn't work for me on PS5, which leads me to believe there is a bug in the game. As a precaution, you should always remove any items from a pawn's inventory before discarding them just to be on the safe side.
