Dragon's Dogma 2 is a humongous game with a massive open world and a full story to play through.

While the narrative of Dragon's Dogma 2 naturally makes up a huge portion of the action RPG, there are dozens upon dozens of quests to experience that let you explore everything from Vermund to Battahl.

The first step of all this is the character creator, which truly allows you to be immersed in the world. Once this is done, players venture out to reclaim their birthright to the throne and take down the legendary dragon that caused their demise.

So yes, there's lots to do. And it's easy to get overwhelmed - that's where we come in.

To make things easier, we've gathered the full list of Dragon's Dogma 2 main story chapters, as well as the quests you need to know about. New ones are still being discovered regularly, so we'll update once we find out more.

How many quests are in Dragon's Dogma 2?

There are 18 main quests to complete in Dragon's Dogma 2. We'd expect a playthrough focusing on these missions alone to take around 22 to 28 hours to complete.

If you opt for all of the side missions (of which many are still being discovered daily) along with all of the trophies/achievements needed to obtain a 100 per cent completion, we'd expect a playthrough to take much longer.
