Dragon's Dogma 2 — Quest Tracker

Every main and side quest from Gaoled Awakening to Norgan, grouped by the point of no return that closes them, plus the 12 Lost Rites trials.

What this guide is

A tick-list of every quest in the game, separate from the Progression Route. Where the route tells you what order to play in, this tells you what you have not done yet.

The game never formally sorts its quests, so they are grouped here by the main quest that closes them: Feast of Deception, A New Godsway, The Guardian Gigantus and finally the true ending, which moves the save into the Unmoored World. Anything in a section is safest done before that section's last main quest.

Dark Arisen's Norgan quests and its 12 Lost Rites trials are listed last and need the paid expansion.

Tags you'll see on steps

These appear beside individual steps in the walkthrough.

missableLost permanently once the section's point of no return starts.

Wording used in the steps

Shorthand in the step text, not tags.
