How to get the true ending in Dragon’s Dogma 2

You can unlock the true ending of Dragon’s Dogma 2 can be reached at the conclusion of the the Legacy quest. This quest is part of the main quest line and is unavoidable.

WARNING. Embarking on the end of the game will fail the majority of the game’s side quests. 

We highly recommend doing everything you can, and visiting all of the game’s major areas before starting Legacy. This will also impact the post-game of Dragon’s Dogma 2.

Once you’re ready, start the quest and follow it as normal. Eventually, you’ll come face to face with the Dragon. At this point, the Dragon will be holding the character for whom you have the most affinity. This largely means who you’ve done the largest number of quests for. This is most often Captain Brant, purely based on how many main quests he gives you.

At this point, you have options.
