This is a guide on what to do before coronation in Dragon's Dogma 2 (DD2). Find out if coronation is a point of no return in Dragon Dogma's story and what you should do before attending coronation!

List of Contents

Coronation Isn’t a Full Point of No Return

Dragon’s Dogma 2 – Coronation isn’t a full point of no return

After obtaining the Courtly Tunic and Courtly Breeches for the Feast of Deception quest, Captain Brant warns that “If Your Majesty has any unfinished business to attend to, ’tis best you do so afore we depart.” This makes it seem like a point of no return.

However, attending the coronation does not lock you out of all quests or content. After the cutscene, most side quests and exploration are still available while waiting for the next main objective: Await Captain Brant’s plan of action.

List of Missables and Time-Sensitive Quests

What to Do Before Coronation

Complete Time‑Sensitive Quests

Before completing Feast of Deception, it’s recommended to complete quests that may become unavailable afterward. These include romance quests, side quests, and certain story event

Feast of Deception Walkthrough and Rewards

Quests Missable After Coronation

Quest Requirement
Readvent of Calamity Missable if you finish Feast of Deception before returning to Melve; prerequisite for Home Is Where the Hearth Is quest
Home Is Where the Hearth Is Missable if Readvent of Calamity isn’t completed; unlocks Ulrika romance
The Arisen's Shadow Must complete before completing Feast of Deception to secure the Border Entry Permit
Brothers Brave and Timid Side quest in Melve; must start before Feast of Deception
Nesting Troubles Side quest in Melve; must start before Feast of Deception
The Ornate Box Talk to Sven in Vernworth before completing Feast of Deception
Vocation Frustration Talk to Klaus in Vernworth before completing Feast of Deception

Repel the Dragon at Melve

Dragons Dogma 2 - Repel the Dragon

If you return to Melve after completing 1 of Brant's Vernworth Quests, you'll encounter it in a middle of a dragon attack. Repelling the dragon allows you early access to the Mystic Spearhand class (one of the best Vocations) and access to the Ulrika Romance.

However, if you complete the quest Feast of Deception, you will not encounter the dragon attacking Melve and will be possibly locked out of the Ulrika romance. You can still repel the dragon at Melve after coronation but before completing Feast of Deception. However, it's best to repel the dragon before coronation, just so you don't accidentally progress too far and miss it and so that you can get Mystic Spearhand earlier.
