Dragon's Dogma 2: Side Quest Locations & Interactive Tracking Guide

In Dragon's Dogma 2, a side quest is the narrative connective tissue of the world, providing the depth and mechanical rewards that main missions often bypass.

Side Quest Locations—spanning the sprawling noble estates of Vernworth to the reclusive elven homes of the Sacred Arbor—function as restrictions to the game’s most powerful vocation-specific weaponry and high-tier affinity-based rewards.

Unlike the linear progression of the story, side quests are dynamic and often time-sensitive.

Engaging with NPCs in regional taverns or near oxcart stations is the primary method for triggering these events, which can range from high-stakes rescue missions to complex environmental puzzles.

Many of these quests are the only way to unlock Maister skills or secure the rare implements needed for character customization.

To maximize your completion rate, you must prioritize quests marked with an hourglass icon, as these will fail if you rest too many times or progress the main story past certain landmark waypoints.

Furthermore, always have a Ferrystone on hand during escort quests; while NPCs can be slow, teleporting to a Portcrystal while they are in your party will instantly complete the travel leg of the mission, saving hours of real-time travel and avoiding lethal boss ambushes.

To help you clear every objective and missable event, we have cataloged every quest-giver and trigger point on our Dragon's Dogma 2 interactive maps and quest hubs.
