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!

List of 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

Ulrika Romance is a Missable

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!

Wilhelimina Romance is a Missable

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!

Normal and True Endings

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

Sphinx Rewards

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.

All Points of No Return

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

Moonglint Tower is Point of No Return Prior to Endgame

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.

Race in Character Creation

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!

How to Avoid Missables

Wait Until New Game+

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.

No Way to Save Scum

Be warned that there's no way to save prior to a point of return due to the game's autosave feature.
