Every Dragon's Dogma 2 achievement and trophy, which ones are missable, how the ending trophies unlock, and the fastest route to full completion.
Dragon's Dogma 2 Achievements and Trophy Guide
Dragon's Dogma 2 carries 60 achievements on Steam and 61 trophies on PlayStation once Dark Arisen is installed, six of them from the expansion. Roughly ten entries can be lost for good in one playthrough, and they cluster in four places: the Sphinx, the maister teachings, the phantom oxcart, and the Unmoored World finale.
How Many Achievements and Trophies Are There in Dragon's Dogma 2?
The count depends on the platform, and paid content now gates full completion.
| Platform | Total | Base game | Dark Arisen pack |
|---|---|---|---|
| Steam | 60 achievements | 54 | 6, added on October 9, 2026 |
| PlayStation 5 | 61 trophies | 55: 1 Platinum (The True Arisen), 2 Gold, 6 Silver, 46 Bronze | 6 worth 195 points: 1 Gold, 2 Silver, 3 Bronze |
| Xbox Series X|S | Same set as Steam, no platinum | 54 | 6, same requirements |

Two details matter more than the totals.
- PC and Xbox list 54, PlayStation lists 55 on the official game page. The extra entry is the platinum, and Casual Mode blocks it.
- Nothing here needs skill. The Dark Arisen DLC guide maps where the six expansion entries live.

Exploration and Travel
| Achievement | Requirement |

| One Speed Only | Boarded an oxcart. |
| Are We There Yet? | Boarded the phantom oxcart. |

The medusa entries are the trap here: all three come from one rare opponent, and decapitating her ends the fight before you can petrify her.
Activities, Collection and Affinity
| Achievement | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Myrmecoleon Delights | Entered the rose chateau. |
| A House? In This Economy? | Purchased a dwelling of your own. |

The Six Dark Arisen Achievements
Six entries joined the list on October 9, 2026, and trophy trackers value the pack at 195 points: one Gold, two Silver, three Bronze.
| Achievement | Requirement | What to watch |
|---|---|---|
| The Forgotten North | Arrived in Norgan. | Unmissable once you start the expansion |
| Dogma Defied | Reached the end of the Final Proving Ground without recovering your loss gauge. | No inn rest, no camp, no loss-gauge items |
| Dogma Defended | Heeded the request of Norgan's guardian. | The pack's Gold trophy and a story decision |
| Strike! | Broke through five vile eye barriers at once. | Needs the barriers grouped for one chain |
| Reunited | Granted Eir's wish. | A story decision tied to Norgan's central character |
| Abominable Snowstash | Reclaimed stolen items from the snowfoot's den. | Optional den errand, easy to walk past |
Dogma Defied is the entry people lose by accident: it asks for a full run of the Final Proving Ground with the loss gauge never topped up, so no inn sleep, no camping, no item that restores maximum health. The Lost Rites dungeons page shows where that trial sits in the door order.

Reunited and Dogma Defended both hang on decisions at the close of the Norgan story, and reports on whether one choice blocks the other are still settling. Read the Norgan region guide for who Eir is, and park a manual save in front of that sequence.
Two expansion entries and three base-game entries key off unrepeatable story states, and the save location and backup guide shows where each platform keeps its files.
Missable Achievements and What Locks Them Out
Everything below can be lost in one cycle.
| Achievement | Locks when | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Full Marks | You fail enough Sphinx riddles and she departs | Save before each visit |
| Master of the Maisters | A quest fails or the teaching NPC dies first | Gather the 12 teachings early |
| Are We There Yet? | You finish the phantom oxcart quest without riding it | Ride once the quest opens |
| The Barbecue-Maister | You leave the pre-endgame state without cooking every meat type | Cook all types day and night before the Unmoored World |
| The Guardian | The countdown swallows a settlement first | Evacuate Vernworth, Bakbattahl and the Sacred Arbor |
| The Hero | You end the cycle before clearing every trial | Clear all four Unmoored World trials |
| Closure | You never end the cycle, or you play on Casual Mode | Run Normal or Hard |
| Plenty Arisen to Go Round | You never build a crowd of admirers while owning a home | Buy a dwelling, push many NPCs to high affinity |
| The True Arisen (PlayStation) | You play on Casual Mode | The platinum lists as unavailable there |
PlayStation lists both Closure and The True Arisen as unavailable in Casual Mode. The Hard Mode guide covers switching difficulty if the platinum is the goal.
The Sphinx is the nastiest of the group, because her riddle set reads like a puzzle rather than a warning. Community write-ups repeat one rule: save before speaking to her.
Ending Trophies and the True Ending
Two ending entries compete. Reach the Unmoored World and Dragon's Dogma 2 pops. Take the standard route at the dragon and you get Peace instead, which closes the run. Use the Empowered Godsbane Blade on the dragon's heart and you land in the Unmoored World, where the real ending chain lives.
| Ending entry | How it unlocks |
|---|---|
| Peace | Become Sovran of Vernworth through the standard dragon confrontation |
| Dragon's Dogma 2 | Witness the unmoored world by taking the blade route |
| The Guardian | Evacuate the Unmoored World settlements before the countdown ends |
| The Hero | Overcome all four trials of the Unmoored World |
| Closure | Experience the end of the cycle at the close of the Unmoored World |
| I, Talos | Help the gigantus walk again |
Reach the Unmoored World first, finish the evacuation and the four trials, then close the cycle.

Fastest Route to 100 Percent
One planned playthrough covers the whole list.
- Play to Vernworth. First Taste of Freedom, Arisen and Seat of the Proxy fall on their own, and one Vocation Guild stop clears all four vocation entries.
- Grind mid-game. Seeker's Tokens, the 50-affinity push, dungeon discovery and the cooking chores are easier while the world is stable.
- Finish the risky entries before the endgame. The Sphinx, the maisters, the phantom oxcart and the medusa chain carry the lock-out risk, and the beginner tips before entering Norgan covers them.
- Take the blade route, then finish the Unmoored World. Evacuate the settlements, clear all four trials, then end the cycle.
- Sweep Dark Arisen last. Run the Lost Rites in order, clear the Final Proving Ground without healing your loss gauge, and decide the Norgan finale with a save parked in front of it.
New Game Plus carries level, gear and most progress forward, so cleanup after a miss is a short victory lap.
Hard Mode pays bonus experience and Discipline, so The Specialist and the maister hunt move faster there.
FAQ
How many achievements does Dragon's Dogma 2 have? 60 on Steam and 61 trophies on PlayStation. The gap is the platinum Sony adds, and six entries on every platform come from Dark Arisen.
Can I still 100 percent without buying Dark Arisen? No. Six achievements sit behind expansion content, so a base-game-only save tops out below 100 percent.
Which achievements am I locked out of if I already finished the story? Sphinx riddles, the phantom oxcart and the maister teachings need a new cycle once their quest lines are gone. If you never reached the Unmoored World, The Guardian, The Hero and Closure need the blade route at the dragon or an earlier save.
Do I need New Game Plus to clean up anything I missed? Only for quest-locked base-game entries, and Casual Mode blocks Closure and The True Arisen outright.
