Dragon's Dogma 2 walkthrough
Begin with Brant's investigations in Vernworth, finish vulnerable rescue and character quests before major story transitions, then choose between the standard ending and the Unmoored World.
Progression at a glance
| Stage | Priority | Before moving on |
|---|---|---|
| Vernworth | Meet Brant at the Stardrop Inn at night during Seat of the Sovran; accept the magistrate, palace, and masquerade assignments. | His assignments are not a rigid numbered chain. |
| Early investigations | Investigate the Nameless Village and Bermudo, and revisit Melve for Ulrika's story. | Finish relevant early quests before Feast of Deception. |
| Checkpoint Rest Town | Handle the Jadeite Orb choices; respond immediately if Morris asks you to rescue Rodge. | Do not rest through an active rescue deadline. |
| Bakbattahl | Progress Nation of the Lambent Flame and meet Menella for Shadowed Prayers. | Identify Herman during the ceremony, not afterward. |
| Legacy | Resolve side quests and review the ending choice before Moonglint Tower. | The Godsbane action during the dragon flight opens the endgame world. |
Save and reward changes in 2026
Since September 2, 2026, there are three adventure save slots with Autosave, Interim Save, and Last Inn Rest Save in each. Loading an inn save no longer deletes the other two types. Before a risky decision, inspect timestamps and keep a suitable recovery point; do not assume slots automatically duplicate one another.
Capcom changed some chest contents, enemy drops, equipment stats, and quest payouts on June 10, 2026. Historical guide rewards on these pages are labeled accordingly. The practical route and quest outcome matter more than an unverified current gold total.
Questions
Which quests need immediate attention?
Treat Prey for the Pack and Till Death Do Us Part as urgent rescues. Shadowed Prayers becomes urgent during the prayer ceremony; early investigations can also close at a story cutoff.
Where are the true-ending steps?
The Endings guide explains the Godsbane choice; the Unmoored World guide covers the subsequent trials and evacuations.
