Dragon's Dogma 2: All Endings Explained (Good, Bad, True)
The game's storyline reaches a pivotal point during the Legacy Quest, where players face a crucial decision. The dragon, which holds the Arisen's loved one captive, presents two options: fight the dragon or run away, leaving the beloved behind.
This choice sets the stage for the various endings. Here are the explanations for all the endings in Dragon's Dogma 2, including the good, the bad, and the true one.
The Bad Ending - Walk Away
For those who choose to walk away from the dragon, leaving their beloved behind, a bad ending awaits. The Arisen still becomes the Sovran, but the atmosphere in the throne room is somber, reflecting the weight of the decision. This ending is the quickest route, skipping the final battle entirely.
The Good Ending - Fight the Dragon
To get a good ending in Dragon's Dogma 2, players must attack the dragon during the confrontation. This initiates a sequence where the Arisen rides on the dragon's back to an arena for an epic final battle. Upon defeating the dragon, the Arisen returns to Vernworth as the Sovran, with celebrations and credits rolling.
The True Ending - Defy Fate
To unlock the true ending, players must first pursue the good ending by fighting the dragon as stated above. However, during the credits, instead of claiming the throne, the Arisen should seek out the Pathfinder, a ghostly figure sitting to the left of the throne. Engaging in dialogue with the Pathfinder multiple times will transport the Arisen back to the moment they were riding the dragon.

The Unmoored World in Dragon's Dogma 2
The Unmoored World introduces new mechanics, such as returning to the start of the day upon death and the need to complete the main quest swiftly to prevent areas from being consumed by the red storm. Ferrystones become more abundant here in the Unmoored World. The enemies drop them. Additionally, Port Crystals are now accessible in major towns.
To successfully traverse the Unmoored World and reach the true ending, players should:
- Reunite with their main Pawn in Bakbattahl.
- Visit the Seafloor Shrine and speak with Rothias to learn the main objective.
- Complete quests in each major city to evacuate people to the Seafloor Shrine.
- Activate red pillars of light using the Godsbane Blade to delay the red storm and gain more time for evacuations.
The recommended order for evacuations is:
- Volcanic Island Camp
- Sacred Arbor
- Bakbattahl
- Vernworth
After successfully evacuating everyone, players must complete a final objective at the Seafloor Shrine to conclude their journey through the Unmoored World.
