‘Gravity Rush 2’ manhole locations: Get your shortcuts on

There are more ways than ever for Kat to get around in Gravity Rush 2, whether you want free fall in Jupiter mode or jump like Superman as Lunar Kat. But the game’s world — which includes the cities of Jirga Para Lhao and Hekseville — is also massive, and the series’ warp manholes are more important than ever. 

Sadly, you have to locate each individual manhole before you can use it, and Gravity Rush 2 never points out where they are. They can be difficult to spot, which is why we’ve compiled this list of where to find each and every one. Happy sewer-crawling!

Part 1: Jirga Para Lhao

Lei Colmosna, from left to right:

  • Sun Mansion: Just outside the gates of the giant, u-shaped mansion with the pink roof on the easternmost edge of the marketplace.
  • Tritower: In the middle of Lei Colmosna’s eastern half are three massive towers, connected by large bridges, that together make up the Tritower Hotel. The manhole is in front of the entrance to the main tower.
  • Radale Memorial Park: In between Lei Colmosna’s marketplace and the downtown district in the middle of the map is Radale Memorial Park. The manhole cover is next to the large statue of the man kneeling with a deer’s head.
  • Archway Viewing Screen: From where you first entered Jirga Para Lhao, go straight through the market and across the bridge. The manhole is near the umbrella-covered tables.
  • Overlook Plaza Fountain: This manhole is in the middle of the island’s central plaza, near the fountain on the marketplace’s western edge.

Lei Havina, from left to right:

  • Havina Terminal: Near the sky-piers at the western end of Lei Havina’s central island.
  • Goredoh Garden: This manhole is under a bridge on the northern side of the connected island (the one with the large pond).
  • Danari Mansion: The Old Settlement’s third manhole is at a higher altitude than the other two, near the three large palm trees on the island that also houses the Danari mansion.

Lei Elgona:

  • Angry Centipede Higeout: The Houseboat Fleet’s single manhole is tucked away near the hideout of the Angry Centipede. You’ll go here as part of a story mission, so it’s hard to miss.

Avarash au Govena:

  • Fort Bismalia Deck: The Central Authority also has a single manhole, which is located on the deck of Fort Bismalia. Don’t try to reach it before the story takes you there, though, or you’ll be shot out of the sky.

Part 2: Hekseville

Auldnoir, from left to right:

  • Supply Depot: The topmost manhole in Hekseville’s Old Town is between the factory and the abandoned lot, which you’ll encounter on various missions.
  • Auldnoir Fountain: The fountain manhole is just north of Auldnoir’s famous boy-on-frog-on-turtle fountain, above Kat’s house and at street level.
  • Karuwari Church: This manhole is located on the other side of Kat’s house, which, conveniently, you can also use to access the warp network. The manhole is just across the bridge from the island that houses the church and the fish fountain.

Vendecentre, left to right:

  • Loop Line Station #3: This manhole is located on Vendecentre’s southern tip. The cover is just outside the train station, near a food stall where multiple side missions take place.
  • Skyscraper Valley: As the name suggests, this warp cover is surrounded by skyscrapers, in a plaza between two statues, including one modeled after the iconic World Pillar.
  • Loop Line Station #1: Downtown’s other manhole is just outside the station, to the left as you’re looking at the entrance.

Pleajeune, from left to right:

  • Goddess Statue: Situated next to the fiery goddess statue, toward the lower end of Hekseville’s entertainment district.
  • Arquebus Academy: Across the bridge from the goddess statue is Arquebus Academy, where multiple quests will take place. The manhole is near the entrance, in front of the statue of the pointing scholar.
  • Pandora’s Fortunes: This manhole is located on the other end of Pleajeune, just outside Aki’s fortune telling shop.

Endestria, from left to right:

  • New Stormshield Tower Remains: Endestria’s eastern manhole is in a small plaza under a large, striped smokestack.
  • Stormshield Tower Remains: The Factory District’s other manhole is at the base of the larger tower on Endestria’s peak.

The best item recipes in Dragon’s Dogma 2

Believe it or not, your Arisen in Dragon's Dogma 2 is very skilled at crafting. We're not talking about building structures, tools, or weapons, but item crafting. By combining specific pairs of ingredients in your inventory, you can produce some extremely potent consumables. As you will discover for yourself on your first long trip across the land, there are a ton of materials to discover, leading to hundreds or thousands of possible combinations. Knowing what items are best saved to make something special can save you from having to scour the world looking for more or struggling without it. Here are the best recipes that not even the best pawns will tell you about.
Best item recipes

Salburious Drought
This green liquid will be your most common healing item in Dragon's Dogma 2 and also the item you will probably craft first. It probably has the most possible combinations of ingredients to make and will always be a more effective way to get the most healing out of any individual ingredients. If you have a Greenwarish and combine it with almost any fruit, you can whip this tonic up.
Detoxifying Decoction
Status effects are no joke in Dragon's Dogma 2. If you get poisoned, it isn't going away until you cure it or rest at an in or camp. And that's if you have enough healing items to keep yourself alive long enough to make it there. Detoxifying Decoctions will cure what ails you and keep you adventuring instead of scrambling to get back to town. An easy way to make it is by combining Pitywort and Syrupwort leaves.
Exquisite Dried Spud
Stamina regenerates naturally, so you may not think an item that replenishes it would be all that important. Ask yourself that when you're clinging to the back of a Griffen 100 feet above the ground and your grip is slipping. Pop an Exquisite Dried Spud to keep climbing or running in those touchy moments. Just smash two Ripened Princess Harspuds together to make it.
Mighty Robrant
For a more flavorful and alternative healing item, the Mighty Robrant will be able to take you from close to death to full HP for the majority of the game. This is a second-level item made by first crafting a Fruit Robrant and then combining that with Cinnamon Bark.
Miracle Robrant
The ultimate consumable that you can make is the Miracle Robrant. This will heal a massive amount of HP and refill your stamina all in one. These take a bit more work to get, so save them for emergencies. Make one with any Fine Robrant and a Saurian's Tail.
Bunch of Flowers
Finally, make a nice gift for someone with a Bunch of Flowers to earn some favor. You can give gifts to almost any important character in the game, and while not all will like flowers, a good deal will, and they're free to make. We craft ours out of Sunbloom and Noonblooms, but most flower combinations will do the job.

How long is Dragon’s Dogma 2?
A sphinx in Dragon's Dogma 2.

Open-world RPGs can be anywhere from around a dozen hours long to well over 100. Dragon's Dogma 2 is very unique, even among others in the genre, for not adhering to a lot of traditional design philosophies, such as how it handles fast travel. If anything, that will only add to your total playtime, plus there are all the optional quests to do, Vocations to try out and level up, and more if you're a completionist. If you're wondering if you have the time to fit Dragon's Dogma 2 into your schedule among all the other games releasing, here's how long you can expect this adventure to last.
How long is Dragon's Dogma 2?

For the main quest, Dragon's Dogma 2 can probably be beaten in around 25 hours, give or take. That's assuming you mainline the story as efficiently as possible and don't get stuck on any boss fights being under-leveled. A more realistic playthrough where you explore a bit, do some side content, and maybe go for the true ending will push you into the 30 to 35-hour range, as it did for us.
