Kinda wished that we could start a ng+ in the bad ending. Imagine going to helve and seeing your last arisen being the “crazy old person” living by the lake
I'd like that, some continuity within the cycles, or being able to live on afterwards in peace without the Dragon. But DLC would need to kick in right there.
@@GenaroNeto yeah but since the 2 isn’t an actual sequel and they said it’s more like an completed version of the vision they had for the first… i thought that it would be reasonable for them to make it this way.
The secret emding felt real to me cuz there was emotion between the arisen and pawn. And having the montage felt so heartwarming in my opinion plus the cinematography when you strike the orange dragon is sick
they did show the true ending of the game here though its the one where your character ceases to exist in the world because you as the last arisen took a stand against fate and told it to go F itself lmao but yea the dragon finally dies, the brine dissappears from the oceans, and the pawns return home to the rift between worlds. your gift to the world is setting it free from the cycles of death and rebirth an everyone you helped on your journey honors your memory/sacrifice.
@@DeusGamez it is the true ending but are missing a lot of stuff in the cutscene and it didn't even show a special interaction with your main pawn in the end if you have max affinity with it. The ending credits is like a poor version of the lively cutscene if you helped a lot of people in your entire playthrough. I had all the good parts of the ending in my first run after 200 hours of exploring the world to its fullest.
Im not gonna lie, I felt let down by all the endings. For one thing, there were so many interesting plot threads that were set up in the first half of the game that just got completely forgotten about, like the origins of the false Sovran, and for that matter the entire political plot in general just never really gets resolved. You kill the usurper in a short, insignificant battle right before the final showdown with the Dragon, then if you choose to fight the Dragon you claim your throne and thats it. No opposition from Disa and her supporters, nothing. And as far as the hidden ending/unmoored world... cool concept, fun to roam around a dried up husk of a world and kill monsters under a bloodred sky, but the story just does a terrible job of explaining everything thats going on. Why did my pawn turn into that weird winged creature? Was that dragonsplague? How did she get infected? What's the deal with the giant dragon? Is that the main dragon but in a beefed up form? Is it the Pathfinder in a dragon's body? What was such a big deal about defying my destiny to kill the dragon if i just end up killing a different dragon anyway? If the dragon dies when I stab myself, didnt I just fulfill my destiny? If the people of the world exist only to play a role in the Arisen's journey and the world ends if anyone defies it, why didnt Phaesus bring about the unmoored world by his attempts to subvert the Great Will? What does ending the cycle of Arisen and Dragon really even accomplish? There are still other monsters that can (and do) attack towns and wreak destruction. The game never even bothers to show the extent of the Dragon's destructive capabilities aside from burning half of a town in the middle of nowhere so why is the cycle ending so important? If the main purpose was to get rid of the Brine so people can leave and explore other lands, then spend more time building that up! Let us fight a giant Brine monster as the final boss instead of playing through a stupid scripted sequence where you climb on a giant dragon's back while the credits roll! Its almost like Capcom themselves just lost interest in the ending they were writing so they just said, "Eh, roll credits. The game's basically over anyway, lets just get this over with." What a massive disappointment in an otherwise phenomenal game. F*** these endings.
The political strife that was happening early game did feel unresolved imo as well. I didn’t hear from Queen Disa, the son or Brant for the entire rest of the game once I reached Batthal. I wouldn’t have minded a longer story just for everything to be explained.
I completely agree with everything you said here. The game is good in terms of combat, side quests & exploration but the story had a lot of elements for it to have such a lackluster ending like that. I know lots of people didn’t like the ending and I wondered why. This explains why.
I mean, the first game had a pretty disjointed story too, it was kinda just like, "Do a bunch of random fantasy stuff until the plot decides it's time to confront the Dragon," but then it drops that mindf*** ending where everything you've been through was a test to see if you have what it takes to challenge the god of that world and take his place. Again, cool concept but they didn't really do a good job building it up through the rest of the story. I like the lore of this series, it's deeply philosophical and interesting, but the way it's presented is where everything kind of falls flat. It's clear that with these games the main focus is on the pawn system, the combat and the world- which are all top notch, don't get me wrong, and its why I still consider them to be great games, but I just wish that they'd taken a little more time to flesh out the story in the sequel and make it something truly special. If Dragon's Dogma II had had as much care put into the story as The Witcher III or Red Dead II, it could've been a true masterpiece.
Looks to me like a recycle of the arisen. Ive met a surprisingly large number of arisen in the world that either failed to fulfill their duty as arisen and didnt kill their dragon, they killed their dragon, got their heart back and are pretty much just living the rest of their life away or just straight up run away like in this ending. I think the old guy was arisen too. Makes sense that you end up a bum because your no longer arisen and cant command pawns anymore, but can still revive. A failure cant be sovereign of the country now can he, specially if hes not the true arisen anymore
This game gives me Zelda vibes, no princess, though. I like it alot but i wish there was a bit more cake, its alot of icing with the graphics and combat, but it needs more in the middle with some traversal options, clothes and slice of life content to make it more than just a dark fantasy Zelda from 64. Again, i love this game, dont regret any of my time spent. I just look forward to more.
Odd, my pawn turned back human after she ripped open the Pathfinders chest and before he threw her away, but in this she stayed in the dragon plague form
You must have a really high pawn affinity. I think this ending might be a step down or slightly less affinity? I'm not sure, but I got the same ending you did.
I search for this because I got confused as to why there is a loop within the story and found out that there are numerous endings. Glad I saved my game in an inn before doing this so I get to look for more stuff like armor before the post apocalypse 😂 my arisen was basically wearing nothing and I hate that it didnt look good on all the cutscenes haha. Anyway, do you still get to play the game like after after the real ending?
You talk to the stranger at the table instead of taking the throne, then you talk to them again directly in the middle of the crowd in front of the throne. Once back on the dragon, you kill the dragon and yourself by climbing down onto it's heart and using the new blade on both of you. Then follow the steps in the unmoored world from there.
@@fckoff3203 Funny how you wokies always pulls the victim or innocence card whenever someone calls out your BS. And have you ever seen a black person as a medieval knight in medieval time? Learn your history a bit more? And this isn't Crapflix btw.
@@tylragor1653???? You ever seen a fxxking dragon??? You ever seen a humanoid lion? You ever seen an elf??? You ever seen a 20ft tall ogre? You ever seen a griffin??? This game is full of shxt that didn’t exist and the black knight is where you draw the line??? There was a black medieval empire if you did some research! The mutapa empire…and yes there were black medieval knights in Europe at that time that actual held high ranking positions..that class by race crap was started here in America also! The game is set in a fantasy place that doesn’t even exist…your whole argument is stupid

It's painful to think about considering that my Arisen and pawn are basically my ocs which are sisters. They're lost forever.
I'd like that, some continuity within the cycles, or being able to live on afterwards in peace without the Dragon. But DLC would need to kick in right there.
I believe they didn't go that route because its basically what happens in the first one
@@GenaroNeto yeah but since the 2 isn’t an actual sequel and they said it’s more like an completed version of the vision they had for the first… i thought that it would be reasonable for them to make it this way.
I had a special interaction with my pawn who makes me cry.
I will add to this: If you have max affinity with your pawn, the secret ending has better pawn dialogue.
Yep, just came here to check this, I had a completely other dialogue from my pawn with max affinity.
How
Yep, can confirm, mine even turned into human near the heart to deliver her lines
The secret emding felt real to me cuz there was emotion between the arisen and pawn. And having the montage felt so heartwarming in my opinion plus the cinematography when you strike the orange dragon is sick
The brine is terrifying seen this way
No, not a single clip on this video is the "True Ending". There are a lot of missing details that I got from all the endings shown here.
they did show the true ending of the game here though its the one where your character ceases to exist in the world because you as the last arisen took a stand against fate and told it to go F itself lmao but yea the dragon finally dies, the brine dissappears from the oceans, and the pawns return home to the rift between worlds. your gift to the world is setting it free from the cycles of death and rebirth

for the true ending you got the most rushed main quest ever, u helped NO ONE
HOW WAS BRANT UR MOST BELOVED, U LITERALLY DIDNT DO ANY SIDE QUEST
@@rikiponchoummm, if you do 0 romance Brant is auto highest affinity
Damn thats sadge
not even a side quest
@@rikiponcho dude this is a game come down! I did already three runs and in every run I did 2-3 side quests and the last one I will do in my next run.
I love the non max affinity dialogue bc it’s like my pawn freed itself from the matrix on some Eren type shi & the music tops it off
how did you achieve the "Bad" ending? i havent seen that I assume you fail some how in the unmoored world?
All you have to do is die in the unmoored world.
The true endgame is the Unmoored world so the true ending is the one where you sacrifice yourself

20:40, this is the weirdest ending. like, what does it all mean?

I went with the true ending. It felt better and I enjoyed that ending overall.
In my ending my main pawn turned back into her regular self on the dragon's chest and then was grab back in the shadow dragon form

I'm not usually one to shame fashion, but I can not stand seeing the Vermund cloak. I hate that nasty looking thing.
Most of the clothing and armor has little to be desired in terms of looks. Only some mods do the armors justice

a pretty boy Arisen..
Do you get to restart your choice from the flee ending ?
yes
Cool bit of scenery, bummer i never finished the game.
Thanks!
Hope make DLC
After the false ending can i continue my playthrough or do i have to make an other ending or new game plus?
U can
How do you get the bad ending?
How do u get the secret ending
I think u have to have high affinity with ur main pawn
