How do I Retrieve my Items in New Game Plus
When you load NG+, you'll start at the beginning of your journey which is the quest "Gaoled Awakening" in The Hole.Simply progress the main quest until you come across any inn to access your storage.
Are there Multiple Endings in Dragon's Dogma 2
Yes, there are multiple Endings. And without spoiling anything away, there is a "True Ending" here that players could potentially miss. So if you have that gut feeling that "something isn't right". We highly recommend to not choose the option "Restart game with current level and equipment" but instead, load from last inn rest or load from last save to have another shot of witnessing the true ending.
NOTE: Players cannot continue playing in their world when they witness the true ending. The only option is NG+.
Can I Change the appearance of my Character?
Yes, you can do this at any "Barberies" that are commonly found in settlements. You can find one in Vernworth. However, changing your appearance will cost gold and requires the Art of Metamorphosis. Moreover, entering NG+ is the only way to change your characters' name and moniker.
NOTE: Changing your Main Pawn's moniker into "SphinxParent"allows your Pawn to be usedfor one of the riddles in A Game of Wits.
How do I use New Game Plus in Dragon's Dogma 2
Upon beating the game and if you let the credits roll until the end, you'll return to the main menu and find three options
- Restart the game with the current level and equipment
- Load from Last Save
- Load from Last Inn Rest
Choose the first option "Restart game with current level and equipment" to start New Game Plus or NG+. By selecting this, a message will show that explains what carries over in NG+ while also losing ALL quest progress for both Story and Side content. This means you will start at the very beginning of the game. If you understood the message, select "Yes".
Another message will then appear that says "Are you quite sure? This is not a decision to be made lightly. It may be wise to confer with others who have had similar experiences before you make your choice. Have you given the matter some more thought? Do you still wish to proceed?". This translates as a warning message and hints that you can cancel going into NG+ so that you can try to acquire the True Ending if you haven't. If you still wish to proceed, select "Yes".
This will follow up with two more warning messagesthat ensure you want to start NG+. It even suggests that you might want to check in with your friends, the community, or fellow players to find clues and learn more about how to witness the True Ending or the other endings. If you agree or choose "Yes" to the fourth warning message, the game will take you over to New Game Plus for a new playthrough.
