The three endings of Dragon’s Dogma 2

The bad ending

  • You leave the dragon with its victim and leave the area. The powerful creature asks you if you really want to leave. Confirms this selection.
  • A cutscene will play in which your hero sits on a throne and looks grumpy.
  • The normal ending

  • You go up to the dragon with your hero and attack him. He lets go of his prey and accepts your challenge.
  • On the dragon’s back you then go to an island where the final battle awaits you.
  • Once you have defeated the dragon, you will see a cutscene showing the people cheering your hero in the throne room.
  • The true ending

  • While you fly to the island on the dragon, you have to hold on to it and then climb to its chest.
  • You can recognize the dragon’s weak point by a glowing pulsation.
  • Open your inventory there and select the Empowered Godsbane Blade. Select the Apply to Self option.
  • Your Awakened and the dragon crash and you end up in a mysterious place: the Unmoored World. The true ending awaits you there, which brings with it the game’s toughest challenges – the endgame, so to speak.
  • This is how you see all three endings in one run: Get the bad ending first. Then start your current save to tackle the standard ending. In the credits you don’t go to the throne, you look for the scout. Talk to him until he takes you back in time. Now you can tackle the true ending.

    Endgame and New Game + – What you should pay attention to

    What else do I have to know? Due to Dragon’s Dogma 2’s limited save system, you can quickly end up losing access to the game’s content.

    For example, if you start a new game with the current level and equipment (the New Game+) after reaching the standard ending in the game menu, you will no longer be able to switch to the start of the dragon encounter to experience other endings.

    Likewise, there is no going back if you travel to the Unmoored World for the true ending. So before you ride the dragon, you should complete all the side tasks and challenges that you would like to take with you in your first run.

    Alternatively, you can use modifications to manage your saves and thus gain more flexibility. You can find more information about this here: 6 best mods for Dragon’s Dogma 2 that are worth it for you
