This is a guide to all missables and points of no return in Dragon's Dogma 2 (DD2). Learn what aspects of the game are missable, what points of no return to keep watch for, and how to avoid missables!
| Missable | Point in Progression |
|---|---|
| Ulrika Romance | Readvent of Calamity Quest |
| Wilhelmina Romance | Legacy Quest |
| Timed Quests | Varies |
| Side Quests | Varies |
| Normal and True Ending | Legacy Quest |
| Sphinx Rewards | Attacking the Sphinx before solving all 10 riddles and failing to beat it afterwards |
The Ulrika Romance is a missable, since the quest that starts the romance, Readvent of Calamity, is a time-sensitive quest involving a dragon attacking Melve. If you ignore doing this quest when you get it, Ulrika will cease to appear in the 2 subsequent quests related to her romance.
In one experience of the walkthrough team, ignoring the Readvent of Calamity quest upon arriving at Melve led to Ulrika not showing up in the subsequent quests Trouble on the Cape and Home Is Where the Hearth Is. It may still be possible to romance her, but not with the known method. We'll update this page as we discover more!
Aside from Ulrika, romancing Wilhelmina can also be missed in two ways: failing the Every Rose Has Its Thorn quest, as it's a time-sensitive quest, or progressing the story until you get to the unmoored world, after the Legacy quest.
Our walkthrough team confirmed that during the unmoored world, Wilhelmina is in her room in the Bolderie, and interacting with her doesn't trigger the quest necessary for romancing her.

Timed Quests are quests that resolve with the passage of time without the involvement of the Arisen so keep an eye out for them and finish them as soon as you get them. Putting them off for too long will result in undesirable and irreversible outcomes during your playthrough.
We are still investigating the different outcomes of each timed quest so check back soon for updates!
While these side quests are not time-sensitive, some may fail if the story progresses too far, since they are influenced by the current narrative setting.

These are the list of side quests that become unavailable in the unmoored world after completing the Legacy main quest.
| Ending | What You Gain | What You Miss Out On |
|---|---|---|
| Bad |
・Cutscene of a discontent Arisen reclaiming the throne ・New Game Plus |
・Normal Ending ・True Ending ・Unmoored World |
| Normal |
・Cutscene of the Arisen reclaiming the throne ・Credit roll ・New Game Plus |
・Bad Ending ・Unmoored World |
| True |
・Cutscene of the Arisen reclaiming the throne ・Credit roll ・Extra gameplay sequence of the final fight with The Dragon ・Unmoored World ・New Game Plus (after completing Unmoored World) |
・Bad Ending |
Choosing the bad ending will make you miss out on the normal and true ending for your current playthrough. You'll need to start another cycle with New Game Plus or load from your last save to get the normal and true ending.
Take note that if you go for the normal ending, you can still go for the true ending by speaking to the Pathfinder during the credit roll. The true ending is the only way to unlock the Unmoored World.
Endings Guide: How to Get the True Ending
During the Game of Wits side quest, attacking the Sphinx before solving all the riddles will cause you to lose potential rewards, as the Sphinx will depart from the area.
On the other hand, failing to defeat the Sphinx after the 10 Riddles will cause you to miss getting the Key of Sagacity, which is used to unlock the larger chest containing the Eternal Wakestone.
It's recommended to use the Unmaking Arrow on the Sphinx to instantly defeat it.
| Point of No Return | Section of the Game |
|---|---|
| Top of Moonglint Tower (last chance for side content) |
The Guardian Gigantus Quest |
| Race Selection | Character Creator |
The point of no return for completing side content prior to the final quest and the endgame happens at the end of The Guardian Gigantus quest, particularly at the top of Moonglint Tower.
Specifically, after you head to the objective past the point of the Moonglint Tower Riftstone (at the top of the tower), you'll trigger a cutscene that leads into Legacy quest and all the endgame content.
Endings Guide: How to Get the True Ending
The Arisen and their Pawn's race is locked after character creation, and it's not possible to change them once you start the game.
While it's possible to change vocations and adjust body features such as height and hairstyle, the character's race is locked once you start the game!
All Playable Races Guide: Does Race Matter?
New Game Plus allows you to redo main quests and side quests, since quest progression does not carry over. Use New Game Plus as an opportunity to make different choices from your previous playthrough.
New Game Plus and Everything That Carries Over
Be warned that there's no way to save prior to a point of return due to the game's autosave feature.
How to Save: Can You Have Multiple Saves?
You actually can save scum by resting at an inn/your house before doing the specific quest you want to do. Ie. Rest at an inn just before doing the quest to save Nadinia, then reloading from last inn rest if you fail to select the right person. Or if you fail Nadinia’s escort quest. Or if you want to cheese the dragon at Melve with the ballista but messed it up. Etc.

About missable quests, there is a quest named "Masked Correspondence" (talk to Sven in his room to activate it) you have to do before to join the masked ballet. Not sure if it will be still avaible before "Feast of Deception".
