How to get Eternal Wakestone in Dragon's Dogma 2
The not so eternal Eternal Wakestone.
If you’re after one of the most powerful items in the game, which can bring a bunch of NPCs back to life at once, you’ll want to know how to get the Eternal Wakestone in Dragon’s Dogma 2, for sure.
As per its in-game item description, the Eternal Wakestone is: "A stone ensorceled with tremendous magick. When invoked, it restores any fallen in the vicinity of the holder to life."
If you’ve been unlucky enough to be stricken by the Dragonsplague and have many dead NPCs filling up the Morgue or Charnel House of one of the game’s larger settlements, you will want to save the Eternal Wakestone.
Use it to bring all of the dead NPCs in a settlement back to life.
Unfortunately, even though its name suggests otherwise, the Eternal Wakestone is a one-time-use only item. Use it wisely.

It has been claimed that you can create working forgeries of the Eternal Wakestone. As this Reddit thread explains, you can get Ibrahim to forge them at his scrap store in Checkpoint Rest Town.
Forging one will set you back 30,000 gold, mind. Maybe that 'Eternal' in its name wasn’t too misleading after all?
Worth knowing, too, is that main quest NPCs will resurrect without needing to use the Eternal Wakestone or the less powerful standard Wakestone – which you can receive as quest rewards or by collecting three Wakestone Shards (they combine automatically to create one Wakestone).
Simply wait for a week of in-game time (you can rest to make the time fly by) and those important main quest NPCs will be revived from the dead.
