Your actions in Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen while playing through the story will determine what ending you get at the end of the game. In this game, there are three different endings that the player has to find, namely the Destruction Path, the Restoration Path, and the secret ending The Cycle of Order and Chaos. In this guide, we’ll explain how to unlock all three endings and what you need to do to reach each one.
Destroy the Arisen Ending (Destruction Path)
In order to see the Destruction Path ending in Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen, you need to play the game until you have a choice with regards to what to do with Ser Rovall’s body. In that case, you need to choose to destroy his body rather than preserve it. That will lead to the Destruction Path ending of the game and a battle with Eir. Kill her to get a cutscene where the Fallen Dragon destroys the city, which completes the prophecy of what the Arisen had seen during the Chilling Tidings quest.
Help Eir Ending (Restoration Path)
In order to trigger the Restoration Path ending, you should take the opposite action with regard to what happens to Ser Rovall. While in the regular ending, Ser Rovall’s body is destroyed; you must help Eir bring back his body, soul, and will. Complete the story missions until you get to Mordria Temple, where you will fight the fallen dragon.
Secret Good Ending
In the secret ending, called the Cycle of Order and Chaos, there are a few other things that should be done before reaching the end of the game. Firstly, you should go through the main storyline of the game and unlock the good ending to unlock the rest of the storyline. Further into the game, you will receive the Blade of Rancor.
After gaining access to it, you should proceed further to meet the required conditions and get access to the Abyss. Then, you should jump into it. After reaching Niflhel, you should use the Blade of Rancor to mediate between order and chaos. After completing the last sequence, you will balance the cycle and leave it to return to your world.
Secret Bad Ending
This is similar to the secret good ending, but during the fight with Satanachia, you should die. Complete the Reunion quest and help Eir retrieve Ser Rovall’s body for the good ending. Then visit Nifhel Depth to fight Satanachia with the Blade of Rancor. But you should let the Arisen take as much damage as possible until you get a special cutscene of Satanachia destroying you. You can reload your previous save file to try any of the other alternate endings in Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen.
