Legacy Dragon's Dogma 2 Quest Walkthrough

Make Preparations

This quest only triggers when you reach the top of the Moonglint Tower. After defeating Talos earlier, make your way to the entrance going to the Moonglint Tower and let the cutscene play out. This will show Phaesus in the Excavation Site where the game began asking the false Sovran if he is prepared. The False Sovran will then worry if he is going to be charred, and Phaesus will assure him that he is not in danger. They will then continue walking toward the tower and Phaesus will say that the dragon shall be under this control when it appears. This will be the end of the cutscene and you will be able to play your character again. Before you proceed to the Moonglint Tower, you can make some preparations and stock up on items and supplies at the Excavation Site Camp.

Proceed to the Moonglint Tower

Once you're done resting up and making preparations, proceed to the Excavation Camp where the game first began and make your way through until you reach the Moonglint Tower. While make your way, a cutscene will play out showing the men of Phaesus going up the stairs and entering an area, once they reach the top, the wooden stairs collapse, indicating that you cannot proceed through there. You'll now need to grow down the path in front and use the elevator. Once you reach the top, go through the scaffolding and make your way up again. Once up, cross the bridge up front and cross it. Do take note that if you managed to complete Raghnall's Side Quests, he'll be waiting at this bridge to duel you, which will trigger the Clash and Conclusion side quest.

After crossing the bridge, go through the gate and head upstairs. There's an Allheal Elixir on top inside a chest, so make sure to take it if you have taken any damage. Once you reach the top of the tower, a cutscene will play out showing Phaesus summoning the dragon that he wishes to command. He then asks the False Sovran to hold us back and not disturb the ritual. 

Fight the False Sovran and his men

After the cutscene, you'll be able to control your character again and now you need to fight the guards and the Sovran. The False Sovran and the guards which consist of mages and archers are powerful. You'll need to deal with the mages first if you don't want to be stun locked. Don't fear, because you do not need to finish this battle, if you manage to survive for at least 2 minutes, a cutscene will play out showing Phaesus completing the ritual and summoning the Lesser Dragon. After a few moments, the true Dragon emerges as well and kills the Lesser Dragon that Phaesus has summoned, ruining the plans to break the cycle of the Arisen.

Afterward, Phaesus will be knocked unconscious and the Dragon will leave you with 2 choices for different endings. Your first choice would be to walk away and sacrifice the life of the NPC that you have the highest friendship with, and the second one is to stand up to the dragon and fight it.

Ending 1: Walk Away (Bad)

To get this ending, you'll need to turn back and walk away. The Dragon will ask you if you're sure about this and you can still decide if you want to proceed with this decision or not. Choose yes and the screen will turn black. A cutscene will play out in Vernworth Castle showing your Arisen being crowned an empty coronation ceremony, then eventually going back to the title screen where you can reload your save.

Ending 2: Face the Dragon

Approach the dragon and proceed to attack it to trigger the final battle. The Dragon will first lift you and carry you towards the final battle area. You'll need to listen to the full speech of the dragon until it lands in the area. You'll arrive inside a volcano where you need to fight one last time. Don't worry if your health was drained by the Sovran earlier, the Dragon will fully heal you before the fight commences. The Fight with the Dragon is quite similar to your battle with the Lesser Drake, which consists of regular attacks like the fire breath, sweeping attacks, and diving attacks when the dragon is in the air. The only difference it has, is its ability to cast spells by casting it with its palms. You can avoid the spells by just moving out of the way of the marked spots on the ground.

The weakness of the Dragon is its head, so attack it regularly as much as you can. What's important to remember is to always get onto his back by climbing from its legs. Doing this will always give you the opportunity to make your way to its head and deal some damage. This will also let you attack it even though it is in the air. If you manage to deal a ton of damage to its head, you'll be able to stun it and make it vulnerable for a while. When the Dragon is in this state, go to its underside and attack its heart. 

Once you defeat the dragon, a cutscene will play out showing the dragon telling the Arisen that he has already been slain. After a few moments, the Dragon will turn into ashes and the cutscene will now go to Vernworth, where a Coronation Ceremony is being held but this time, there are tons of people cheering for you including Grant. After the cutscene, you'll be able to roam the hall. From here, you can actually make another choice. You can go straight to the throne forget the good ending and enter New Game+, or speak to the Pathfinder on the table and he will offer you a chance to make a different choice.

Revealing the Truth: Dragon's Dogma 2

Approach the dragon and proceed to attack it to trigger the final battle. The Dragon will first lift you and carry you towards the final battle area. While on his back, open your inventory and select the Empowered Godsbane Blade. This will initiate your character to kill him/herself and revealing the true ending. A cutscene will play out showing the dragon's heart cracking after you stabbed yourself. The dragon eventually falls into the ocean including you. The Pathfinder speaks with you and lets you know that you have strayed. He is enraged because you disrupted the cycle of the Arisen. He will reveal that you have a world that you belong to and there, you are to fell the great evil in your path and rule the people as their Sovran. The Pathfinder wishes that you live that life of purpose and tells you that it is time for you to return to that life. The cutscene ends and you wake up in the apocalyptic alternate version of the world you were exploring before. The surrounding areas are filled with red aura and the enemies here are more powerful than ever. There will be new areas to explore and new quests will unlock. "The Dragon's Dogma II" title screen also appears but the difference is, that it reveals the "II" in the end while the normal title screen usually just says "Dragon's Dogma".
