All Dragon’s Dogma 2 missable content
Outside the following missable content, failing one of the Sphinx’s riddles will also lock you out of rewards like the Eternal Wakestone. Here’s the key missable content you need to bear in mind while playing through Dragon’s Dogma 2:
- Ulrika romance – Failure to resolve the Readvent of Calamity Quest.
- Wilhelmina romance – Proceeding with the legacy quest.
- Timed Quests – Outcomes that depend on finishing them on time.
- Side Quests – Locked if you finish certain campaign quests.
- Endings – Depends on the ending you pick.
How not to miss Ulrika’s romance in Dragon’s Dogma 2
If you aren’t careful, you might miss out on Ulrika’s romance questline. It starts with Readvent of Calamity so be sure to beat the infected dragon when you encounter it in the village of Melve. Some players weren’t able to access subsequent quests like Trouble on the Cape and Home Is Where the Hearth is. You won’t be able to access Ulrika’s romance in the Unmoored World either.
How not to miss Wilhelmina’s romance in Dragon’s Dogma 2
Wilhelmina’s romance can also be missed if you skip a certain quest. Every Rose Has It Thorn is a timed quest so remember to finish it. If you finish the Legacy quest and head to the Unmoored World, this will also prevent you from triggering her romance questline. While you can still meet Wilhelmina near the brothel, speaking to her won’t trigger any quests.

Here are all the points of no return you should bear in mind in Dragon’s Dogma 2:
- Feast of Deception quest
- A New Godsway quest
