How to get the true ending in Dragon’s Dogma 2

By Jesse Lennox March 22, 2024

It’s hard to know if a game has multiple endings, especially one as unique as Dragon’s Dogma 2. You can finish the game and not have any clue as to whether or not you’re missing anything. And in this case, there’s quite a bit more hidden if you’re able to unravel a few cryptic hints. If that’s too much work for you, we can guide you like a faithful pawn to the solution.

The true ending to Dragon’s Dogma 2 is far more satisfying in terms of story, but also adds a surprising amount of gameplay as well. This is something you certainly don’t want to miss if you enjoyed the game up to this point, so let’s break down what you need to do to get the true ending.

Note: We will not be spoiling any plot details of the regular or true endings, only the method in which you get the latter and the name of a location you will need to reach to confirm you are on the path to get it.

How to get the true ending

The first step in getting to the true ending is to see the normal ending. You can easily tell you got the normal ending when you see credits roll and are given the option to reload your last save prior to finishing the game. You are also able to start a new game plus run, keeping your level and gear, but this will reset the story back to the beginning. If you choose this, you will need to play the entire game back up to this point again.

Once you have gotten to the normal ending and beaten the last boss, you need to speak to the pathfinder inside the palace to return to the moment prior to fighting the boss. When you do, fight the boss again and ride it like before. This time, crawl around to the boss’s heart and use the Empowered Godsbane Blade. Without spoiling anything, you are then given the option to go to a new area called the “Unmoored World.” Go there and you will be on the path to the true ending.

How to use Steam Family

A steam family library in Steam.

Steam has evolved a lot since it initially launched. What was once a simple storefront has developed into the largest PC gaming community in the world, with millions of people around the globe logging on and playing. Because Steam is a digital-only storefront, and games are tied to a single account, it did have a drawback when multiple people in a family wanted their own accounts. There were questions about parental controls, game sharing, and more, but Valve has been working away at a solution. Currently available in the Steam Beta, Steam Families offer a range of options and features that any household should look into. Let's dive into how it works and what you can do with it.
How to start a Steam Family

By opting in on the Steam Beta Client, you will have the option to create a Steam Family with up to five members that are either given an Adult or Child account status. Once set up, you can view and manage your family directly on Steam, on a browser, or via the mobile app. To access the steam beta, open Steam, select the Steam button, and go into Settings. From there, select Interface > Steam Families Beta under Client Beta Participation.

How to get a Master Ball in Pokemon GO

Everyone who has played a Pokemon game knows that the most powerful ball is the legendary Master Ball. Most games only provide you with one of these overpowered items that lets you catch any Pokemon you want without a fight, but Pokemon GO didn't include them at all for many years. That all changed in 2023 when they were introduced as part of a special event and finally gave trainers the chance to add one to their bags. If you log in today looking to get one for yourself to have ready for when you find that elusive Pokemon you've been struggling to catch, you won't see any signs of how to get one. Like any good professor, we will instruct you on all the things you need to know about getting a Master Ball in Pokemon GO.
How to get a Master Ball
As mentioned, Master Balls were first introduced as a special event in which players could complete limited-time research tasks to earn one. After that event ended, it wouldn't be possible to get one again until months later as part of a different special event. The final opportunity occurred in November 2023, but since then there has been no way to earn a Master Ball in Pokemon GO.

As of the time of this writing, there is no ongoing event or research task in which you can earn a Master Ball. The next opportunity will be between May 14 and May 19 as part of the Catching Wonders event, which will be free for all players. As long as you start the Masterwork Research quest during this time period, you can complete it at any time and still earn a Master Ball.

V Rising beginner’s guide: 5 tips and tricks to get started

Two vampire knights dueling. with one leaping into the air.

V Rising had little hype before it came out in 2022, but quickly become one of the year's breakout hits on PC. Combining elements of the survival genre, action RPGs, and wrapping it all up in a gothic vampire tale has resulted in an incredibly deep and addicting game that is sure to suck hours of your life away. After creating your own unique vampire, you're almost immediately let loose in a world that, understandably, wants nothing more than to see you dead. You have a lot of ways to fight back, but that amount of choice, and multiple progression systems you need to balance, would be hard for even an immortal creature of the night to keep track of.

Not only do you have your own vampire's stats, abilities, gear, and other RPG elements to keep track of but also your own castle to build, upgrade, and advance research in to unlock new tools. That's not even mentioning the multiplayer elements you can engage with. V Rising proves that, despite what you may have thought, taking over the world of Vardoran won't be easy. If you want to become the apex predator of the night, here are the most important tips and tricks you need to get started in V Rising.
