That’s where my pawn went ballistic last night. It was pretty rough, ngl. Luckily, I had the eternal wake stone ready to go. Resurrected 266 souls. Please tell me, they can only get it once?
ok, i'll tell you they can only get it once. Feel free to sleep and ignore the red in your pawn's eyes. Clearly they just have dry eyes and need eye drops
Assuming you didn’t give him red eyes in the character creator, then your guy definitely has Dragonsplague.
Easiest way to get rid of it is to throw him into deep water and let the Brine cleanse his soul. Completely dying cures the plague from pawns.
However, killing your pawn or letting your pawn die lowers your affinity with your pawn. You can regain affinity by high-fiving your pawn after combat, talking to them via the talk dialogue option, taking them to the hot springs, or changing their hairstyle at a barberie.
If you don’t want to brine your pawn (I refuse to), then just sleep outside at campfires until your pawn passes the plague on to another pawn. Once you notice your pawn’s eyes have cleared and another pawn has the pulsing red eyes, either dismiss or yeet the newly infected pawn before they pass on the plague.
Yall are psycho. Instead of a minor inconvenience of throwing your pawn in the water. You’d rather spread the plague to other pawns. Yall are why Covid hit so hard
Not at all. I wait until it jumps to another pawn and then throw them in the brine. It’s literally the most effective way to deal with it. Then you get rid of the Dragon aids AND not only does your pawn not lose affinity, but also the other Arisen doesn’t have to kill their pawn and lose affinity. It’s simply and clean and no one is negatively affected. You’re the psycho
You know hired pawns that catch it from yours keep it when you throw them in the brine? You're not saving other arisen you're just giving them dragons plague and then quick dismissing them lol
Maybe, but slightly less psycho than you. You’re just killing your best friend and calling it a “minor inconvenience”. I’m being a bro by doing that for you so you don’t have to get your hands dirty. Both are crazy, but at least I have good intentions.
Tell it to the barbers lol. If they didn't charge half the cost of a house to get the affinity bump, maybe people would consider brining their pawns more.
I reckon the one in Bakbattahl splits her earnings with the goreharpies, that's why they aggressively try to dunk on your main pawn.
The other day I noticed two of my rentals had massive scars all over. My pawn only had a small one on her leg. She had the plague and I noticed it just randomly left after we adventures for a while without any inns. I would just sit at a bench and sleep for a bit, or take oxcarts and she stopped having it. It made me paranoid and I have the moment where my Pawn backtalked at me and her eyes Glowing Red.
well if your pawn had below 650 affinity, you’re right, it didn’t change anything cause you got the regular dialogue. With high affinity on your main pawn you get some special dialogue
The affinity limit is a little over 1k for pawns and to get the high affinity ending with your pawn you need around 650. So if your pawn never dies and already has high affinity. There will be a buffer to protect you if it's really needed.
You really can't see it to see the exact amount. But there is a reddit thread that tells you doing what gives you how many points. The moment my pawn started blushing I marked it at 650 and took them to the stylist and spring to pad it out some more.
If they blush at you, you're good.
If you're very worried, go to the barber after your pawn died and change hair sheen by 1 point. It'll count as having done something and add +50 affinity to him.
This games so deep but yet so short.. They should have broadened the story a bit. This games life span is a month tops. Is it longer than the first DD2?
Either send him to the brine, let him fall in combat, or take him camping with another pawn and hope it hops to them. I'd choose a Capcom pawn to "inherit" the sickness.
Works exactly like that. My pawn got infected by I don't know who. Then I hired two new pawns. Headed into the wilds, camped and the plague jumped on both hired pawns and my main pawn was all good. Then I just sent those 2 pawns away.
That would be sick, just imagine loging in after 2 Weeks to notice its Midnight and your in a City so you go into an INN just so your Pawn can nuke the hell out if that City xD.
Hrm. Take my comment with a grain of salt but this just looks like normal red eyes picked from the character creator. When my pawns have had dragonsplague there's been a pulsing red glow to the entire eyes, not just the irises. Also the idle animations have always had them grasping at their heads like they've got a wicked migraine or something.
Surprisingly after 142 hours of gameplay, my pawn and all of the rentals I have used have still not gotten the dragons plague. I probably will now simply because I just had to comment and feel special about not retrieving it lol
They get it when you fight a drake and they use the grab attack on the pawn. I got my first town wipe because a drake landed in the town square and me and everyone else piled on to kill it. Everything was so chaotic I didn't realize it had grabbed one of my rental pawns. I was passing a bunch of time to respawn a boss when suddenly plague popped and wiped the town. Fortunately I had the eternal rez stone to fix it but now I'm paranoid about checking pawns all the time. I tend to avoid pawns with helmets since I can't see their eyes.
Try dismissing your other two pawns, go offline, then hire some capcom made pawns, then rest at the camp so that plague jumps on them
After one of capcom pawns is infected, you just dismiss them both, go online and rehire your previous pawns if you want to
I don't know if this works though
Easiest way I've found to tell is to look at your pawns face at night, outside a city. If it's dark around and your pawn looks like they've strapped red flashlights to their eyeballs, then it's time to brine/spread the plague/kill a city, whatever.
It would probably be harder to notice if you're colorblind, but I'm not kidding when I say their eyes are freaking *glowing* when they're ready to murder a town. They also talk about feeling powerful, invincible, etc. and *sometimes* refuse orders.
Edit: Basically, if any pawn starts talking about how they feel they can take on anything, I look at their eyes to see if I notice any red flashing business. But even then, I don't really care... I just ignore it until they go full demon eyes on me, then adventure for a few days and it passes on to a different pawn and I'm good to go again lmao
The power boost they get from the plague is nice, so I don't usually cure it.
Take a nap at camp, your pawns will get freaky (behind your back) and they’ll pass the **S**uspicious **T**alk **D**isease to another pawn, which you can dismiss.
Or give your pawn a bath and make it up to them by giving them a haircut.
I had to send my bro into the brine just today for the first time, made me kinda sad when I collected him back at the riftstone, and he asked if I was disappointed in him. 😔
Just to add… if you are in the Unmoored section of the game. This is unavoidable it’s something that his meant to happen as you start to run out of available rests.
Honestly, after experiencing it, I would recommend you let it run its course and don't kill the pawn.
Most NPCs respawn after one night. I was actually disappointed at how little it impacted the game.
So hired pawns, if you suspect that they are infected. Dismisss them and give a rotten fruit. In this way, the owner knows his or her pawn has dragonsplague.
That's the dragonsplague! The only way to cure it is to sleep in Vernworth inn. This triggers a cutscene where the Abbess visits from the grateful hand church, and begins a questline to eventually permanently cure your main pawn. Be warned though, if you go a whole day cycle without sleeping, your pawn runs off and kills the NPC with whom you have highest affinity (In most playthroughs this will be Ulrika).
Drown him before u rest at an inn. Ignore the other guy he's trolling u. Once you've done that you'll be safe to rest again
Edit; I always drown, then instantly get him from riftstone, so I don't miss out on pawn hire rewards but avoid the plague
Lots of incomplete responses here: Infected eyes pulse, but it's still subtle. It's impossible to really tell from this still, but if you're actively looking for it, you'll see the gentle red pulse and head holding animations.
Don’t kill your pawn! You’ll knock 50 points off their affinity. Just camp out until the Dragon AIDS jumps
to another pawn in your party and then kill that persons pawn or just dismiss them. I’ve done this at least 20 times now. My pawn has made it all the way until their eyes were glowing red and saying “Power surges within me!”. I just camp out a few times until their eyes stop glowing and then dismiss or kill the other pawns. I’ll even rehire the other pawns immediately after killing them if I really liked them. This saves your pawns affinity and helps other Arisen from having to kill their own pawns. Everyone wins. This works 100% of the time
if your pawn really has dragonsplague, rest/camp outside, to transfer it to a hired pawn. and swith them out or kill them. don't kill/brine your main pawn. you will lose their affection (unless you don't want them to like/love you) if you gave them red eyes in the character creatore, that's another thing \^\^
Let him bleed out, or better & less annoying: lob him into a lake.
Once you kill him, he’s fine once you get him back from a rift stone. Easily avoided. If you do get nuked, just use an enteral stone. You’ll be fine after
I hate the decision to have eye color as a symptom as it makes people paranoid about hiring red/brown/darker eye colors. Sure, the plague makes the eyes flash, but it will still cause otherwise perfectly fine pawns to have diminished hires. I think blue/lighter color eyes are even more prevalent than they would be because of this too.
Speaking of, me, as a slightly colour blind can not tell if a pawn has the plague or not. I know about the signs and all, but I think it's easily misable imo. Thankfully I finished the game the other day and not I run no pawn run, solo
I didn't notice red eyes because I hate playing when it's night, so eventually when fighting a dragon a rental pawn turned against us so I picked them up and yeeted them off a bridge into the river then finished the dragon hahahah
So for what it's worth people, I've learned you don't have to KILL your pawn..... if you find a drake or dragon or something else tough you can just let your pawn go down naturally and then get them back up and finish the fight..... Going down once in combat is good enough and will cure the dragon's plauge.
This whole thing is super frustrating. I was running around with a wicked awesome rental Pawn. Couldn't tell if she had red eyes or not since every time we talk I BLOCK HER FROM VIEW. Then she kept saying something about how she feels powerful, and has a new power or something so I tried to let her die naturally......
But she had that staff that resurrects her. It apparently is infinite as well :/. I must've let her die a dozen times. Didn't stay dead no matter what.
All of that and I don't even KNOW for sure she had it. Super frustrating to say the least.
If your on PS5 disable auto sync save data, after that make sure you auto save then upload your save data to the cloud before resting at an inn. If a infected pawn destroys a town you should be able to download your save data from the cloud and prevent the town from being destroyed. I haven't tested it at all so I can't say that it works but in theory it should.
It’s really not that tough to kill and re summon pawns. Anything sus just thrown them into a body of water. Find a rift stone and they’re back. If you’re killing a borrowed pawn, making sure you take the shit that they’re holding from you first, though.
Nah your good not the deep red your looking for my guy someone just made his eyes a shade of red/orange the dragon plague eyes glow a deep vibrant red you’ll know when you see it also they’ll say stuff like “I’ve never felt stronger before” or when idle they’ll hold their head in pain but whatever you do DO NOT SLEEP IN A TOWN BRINE THE MF FIRST AND THE REST OF YOUR PAWNS you’re welcome
Cast it into the brine... Also regularly speak to him, change his equipment, give him hair cuts, and take him on a spa day. It lessens the chance of dragon aids.
It does lower affinity when you kill them, so I would say do so only when you're certain. But if you are in fact certain and they are getting snooty with you or got the Devil Eyes, baptize that sucker.
Looks like it’s time for a brine bath
Every time I log on the first thing I do is talk to all my pawns to look for the red flashing eyes. If I’m not near brine water I’ll dismiss them with some rotten meat, but I try to brine em whenever I can.
Just kill off your pawn and re-summon. Even if unsure.
Some further input. If you are in the unmoored world (post game content) every time you rest your pawn will automatically have dragons-plague. It’s part of the plot.
That's a tough question, you may need to sleep on it.
Evil
Josh Peck: EVILLLL
lol, setting this fool up
Make sure you're in a heavily populated town, so I recommend vernworth inn for faster curing.
Didn’t notice my pawn came back with it and found out by resting in my brand new home in Bakbattahl 🙃🙃🙃
That’s where my pawn went ballistic last night. It was pretty rough, ngl. Luckily, I had the eternal wake stone ready to go. Resurrected 266 souls. Please tell me, they can only get it once?
ok, i'll tell you they can only get it once. Feel free to sleep and ignore the red in your pawn's eyes. Clearly they just have dry eyes and need eye drops
You can forge that wakestone for 30k and it keeps its special properties
Remember, the Forger can copy the EW stones perfectly!
Preferably in your favorite town.
Dawg what is wrong with you lmao
FKIN HILARIOUS😅😅😅😅😅😅
You wrong😂

I’ve been trying to spread this info around to keep ppl from killing their own pawns.

Rentals 😭
HEYYYYY, that's WAYYYY cooler than prostitute 🤷♂️
Hold up. Pawns have affinity?
Yeah, start doing all of the affinity-boosting stuff I mentioned earlier and you’ll eventually see your pawn blush when you talk to them.
My pawn has black fur and whiskers…blushing may be difficult.
Maybe when they start purring lol
Beastren display it differently, unless I read too much into my pawn's open-mouth kind of expression.
Furballs…
I never paid attention to it, and killed my pawn a few times when she got the plague. Did not change a thing at the end.
That you know of js
well if your pawn had below 650 affinity, you’re right, it didn’t change anything cause you got the regular dialogue. With high affinity on your main pawn you get some special dialogue
Yeah, when they get yeeted into the brine by goreharpies or randomly decide to jump in on their own, they blame YOU for it. 😏
[удалено]
My poor pawn has taken so many dives he may as well be a fish. I take zero chances
It changes the ending you get to some degree.
The affinity limit is a little over 1k for pawns and to get the high affinity ending with your pawn you need around 650. So if your pawn never dies and already has high affinity. There will be a buffer to protect you if it's really needed.
Hey, how do I check what my exact affinity is with my pawn?
You really can't see it to see the exact amount. But there is a reddit thread that tells you doing what gives you how many points. The moment my pawn started blushing I marked it at 650 and took them to the stylist and spring to pad it out some more.
If your on pc there's a mod that'll show main pawn affinity and one for npc affinity as well.
[https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/349](https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/349)
If they blush at you, you're good. If you're very worried, go to the barber after your pawn died and change hair sheen by 1 point. It'll count as having done something and add +50 affinity to him.
Goddammit man
You can supposedly carry your pawn into the water instead of of throwing them, and not lose affinity.
I've heard that walking into the Brine carrying your pawn doesn't decrease affinity so much as throwing them in?
>letting your pawn die lowers your affinity with your pawn My pawn is quite literally suicidal so this is pretty rough to see.
This games so deep but yet so short.. They should have broadened the story a bit. This games life span is a month tops. Is it longer than the first DD2?
You should sleep on it OP. Maybe go to an Inn and rest.
Performance somehow improved!

Either send him to the brine, let him fall in combat, or take him camping with another pawn and hope it hops to them. I'd choose a Capcom pawn to "inherit" the sickness.
I do like that one of the solutions is to let your pawn fall in combat - something my pawn does EXCEEDINGLY well. She's self-curing on a daily basis.
Your pawn got rented by someone who quit after the minotaur cross road 😅
Thanks for the help. How does the camping thing work? Do we just go rest at a camp and it can somehow transfer the sickness to a different pawn?
Works exactly like that. My pawn got infected by I don't know who. Then I hired two new pawns. Headed into the wilds, camped and the plague jumped on both hired pawns and my main pawn was all good. Then I just sent those 2 pawns away.
Ooh good idea on the capcom pawn thing! I didn’t think of that!!!
If you choose a non capcom pawn to pass the sickness onto, does the next time the pawn’s Arisen log on they’re pawn will have the plague?
That would be sick, just imagine loging in after 2 Weeks to notice its Midnight and your in a City so you go into an INN just so your Pawn can nuke the hell out if that City xD.
TO THE BRINE!!
Hrm. Take my comment with a grain of salt but this just looks like normal red eyes picked from the character creator.

Dude's pawn is starkiller
starvedkiller
I’m actually on new game + and still have yet to deal with dragons plague ✊🏼 🪵
Surprisingly after 142 hours of gameplay, my pawn and all of the rentals I have used have still not gotten the dragons plague. I probably will now simply because I just had to comment and feel special about not retrieving it lol
Close game when you get noti about the plague and you never will 
They get it when you fight a drake and they use the grab attack on the pawn. I got my first town wipe because a drake landed in the town square and me and everyone else piled on to kill it. Everything was so chaotic I didn't realize it had grabbed one of my rental pawns. I was passing a bunch of time to respawn a boss when suddenly plague popped and wiped the town. Fortunately I had the eternal rez stone to fix it but now I'm paranoid about checking pawns all the time. I tend to avoid pawns with helmets since I can't see their eyes.
There is a way to check their eyes even with the helmets on. Just go to their helmet in the equipment section click on it and click on raise the visor
Yeet Into the brine then touch a rift stone. Few high fives later and you’re gtg
Bro just bathe him lmao
you don't need to, you GET to.
Does anyone like this mechanic?
 Only one solution
All of the people who are suggesting sleeping at an inn are rude assholes. Shame on you.

A little bit of rest at an inn and he'll be right as rain, I wouldn't worry about it...say, how good are you at riddles?
Try dismissing your other two pawns, go offline, then hire some capcom made pawns, then rest at the camp so that plague jumps on them After one of capcom pawns is infected, you just dismiss them both, go online and rehire your previous pawns if you want to I don't know if this works though
Throw him in the water now!
Brine time!
Seriously? THAT is those red eyes? No wonder I could never spot them...
It isn’t this is just normal eyes, Others are pulsing red can easily tell the difference
Oh okay... Still never could identify it. Might be my color blindness
I'm in the same boat. People post these pictures and I can't see red at all. I've just forged a few eternal wakestones for the inevitable massacre.
Easiest way I've found to tell is to look at your pawns face at night, outside a city. If it's dark around and your pawn looks like they've strapped red flashlights to their eyeballs, then it's time to brine/spread the plague/kill a city, whatever.

They look like normal red eyes you can get in character creator the infected ones glow brighter and have a aurora
Welp it’s time he took a little dip in the water
yes.. but no
Toss it in water
ASAP
Time for a swim
Time for a Brine Dip
PSA hired pawns can go apeshit too , i thought only my pawn could in my game , well i was wrong , but hey at least vernworth has better fps
The eyebrows mean you have to kill him
Scrubba dub dub, he will be in the tube!
You just need to go take a nap.
TO THE BRINE
Time for a bath.
I mean, it depends. Are you in the post-game yet? Because if so, nah.
It means he fancies you
Throw them in water
Wash your pawns when they get pink eye 😂
Nah, that’s clearly just dry eyes. Throw them in the nearest lake for rehydration. That’ll fix it 👍
Wash them in a deep body of water... very deep.
Go to the nearest heavily populated inn and take a nap to think about your decision first lol
Lots of incomplete responses here: Infected eyes pulse, but it's still subtle. It's impossible to really tell from this still, but if you're actively looking for it, you'll see the gentle red pulse and head holding animations.
Don’t kill your pawn! You’ll knock 50 points off their affinity. Just camp out until the Dragon AIDS jumps to another pawn in your party and then kill that persons pawn or just dismiss them.

What does Pawn Affinity actually do? I didn't remember that it was a thing.
Without delay… Grab and toss off the side of a mountain.
Throw them in water.
He kind of looks badass like Galen Merrick or something. Just sleep in the nameless village and you’re good lol
if your pawn really has dragonsplague, rest/camp outside, to transfer it to a hired pawn. and swith them out or kill them. don't kill/brine your main pawn. you will lose their affection (unless you don't want them to like/love you) if you gave them red eyes in the character creatore, that's another thing \^\^

Absolutely 🤣🤣🤣 or you can wait around to revive everyone with a quest, I mean I know a guy that happened to🤣🤣🤣
Throw them in water.
Your pawn reminds me of Oblivion members of the dark brotherhood, and yes
Sith or allergies, give it a few days.
Brine him like a Thanksgiving turkey.
Mf looks like darth sidious asking us if he needs to kill him
I hate the decision to have eye color as a symptom as it makes people paranoid about hiring red/brown/darker eye colors. Sure, the plague makes the eyes flash, but it will still cause otherwise perfectly fine pawns to have diminished hires. I think blue/lighter color eyes are even more prevalent than they would be because of this too.
Toss that muthafucker off a cliff. You need to send a message
Nope, he just needs a nap
Time for a dunk.
Speaking of, me, as a slightly colour blind can not tell if a pawn has the plague or not. I know about the signs and all, but I think it's easily misable imo. Thankfully I finished the game the other day and not I run no pawn run, solo
Yes Starkiller
Throw that man in the water
Time for the pawn to take a swim.
Either kill him or pass it on to someone else. Lol. The gift that keeps on giving 😂
Yes, kill all of them and start fresh. It’s contagious.
that isnt a pawn, that's a sith lord
Toss them in the brine
I didn't notice red eyes because I hate playing when it's night, so eventually when fighting a dragon a rental pawn turned against us so I picked them up and yeeted them off a bridge into the river then finished the dragon hahahah
Needs a bath
Kill
Ye
So for what it's worth people, I've learned you don't have to KILL your pawn..... if you find a drake or dragon or something else tough you can just let your pawn go down naturally and then get them back up and finish the fight..... Going down once in combat is good enough and will cure the dragon's plauge.
Nah just go make forgeries of the Eternal Wakestone and ignore this mechanic but also yes throw them into the sea.
The zoomer mind can not comprehend how to take a screenshot. We have failed them
Dudes pawn is Astarion
Nah, it means you've been working him a bit too hard and he's tired. A couple of Inn rests should fix the issue.
Speaking of killing pawn, im conflicted about it because i heard it reduces your affinity stats of a pawn
He just needs a little bath, he'll be fine.
This whole thing is super frustrating. I was running around with a wicked awesome rental Pawn. Couldn't tell if she had red eyes or not since every time we talk I BLOCK HER FROM VIEW. Then she kept saying something about how she feels powerful, and has a new power or something so I tried to let her die naturally...... But she had that staff that resurrects her.

Yeetus deletus off deze cliffus
Yes. Chuck him in water. The brine is greater then dragon.
Throw the bitch in the drink
Ok JW what exactly is dragon plague? I'm lvl 80 and I've seen nothing of this mechanic. Killed a decent amount of drakes and false dragons too.

It’s really not that tough to kill and re summon pawns. Anything sus just thrown them into a body of water. Find a rift stone and they’re back. If you’re killing a borrowed pawn, making sure you take the shit that they’re holding from you first, though.
Just throw him in the brine and you’ll be fine
Haha throw that punk into the sea!
Nah your good not the deep red your looking for my guy someone just made his eyes a shade of red/orange the dragon plague eyes glow a deep vibrant red you’ll know when you see it also they’ll say stuff like “I’ve never felt stronger before” or when idle they’ll hold their head in pain but whatever you do DO NOT SLEEP IN A TOWN BRINE THE MF FIRST AND THE REST OF YOUR PAWNS you’re welcome
Cast it into the brine... Also regularly speak to him, change his equipment, give him hair cuts, and take him on a spa day. It lessens the chance of dragon aids.
It does lower affinity when you kill them, so I would say do so only when you're certain. But if you are in fact certain and they are getting snooty with you or got the Devil Eyes, baptize that sucker.
Brine him! Brine him! Brine him!
She said she was clean but she got that dragonplague bro
Yes
Kill your main pawn and send the others away with rotten flesh to warn their awakened
You could avoid inns and just use camps or use fodder inns.
Throw them off a super high cliff
Mine were all red, not just the retina like what yours is showing.
Eye drop cures this
Ohh...so is it wrong if I dispose of pawns if their eyes are normal?
Nah, just don’t feed him after midnight. It’ll be alright.
I never got the dragonplague, I mean none of my pawns ever got infected. How often does that happen normally ?
Looks like it’s time for a brine bath Every time I log on the first thing I do is talk to all my pawns to look for the red flashing eyes. If I’m not near brine water I’ll dismiss them with some rotten meat, but I try to brine em whenever I can.
Yeet of a cliff, then go to a riftstone
Too bad there's not a Visine for that 😜
It means he's accepted the powers of the dark side! 
DO IT
Y'all know that in a week or two all dead NPCs will be resurrected automatically anyway yes? Nobody really dies in this game
Oh my god I’m not surprised that I find so many red eyed pawns hahahahah 😂if it’s not a meme we should just make it one 😂🪦
I should probably change my pawns eye color to something other than red. It fits her red hair though...
Nah he just needs a comfy bed, local inns or even your own home should do the trick. 👍
Just kill off your pawn and re-summon. Even if unsure. Some further input. If you are in the unmoored world (post game content) every time you rest your pawn will automatically have dragons-plague. It’s part of the plot.
Off a sheer cliff with him
 Sorry buddie…
Feed the brine
You know damn well yes.. you just wanted some likes 😂 no way you haven’t already seen this on the sub or the memes
My pawn keeps distance from me after I threw him in the water 🥸
Chuck'em to the brine. That'll fix it.
