Key information
The Dark Arisen expansion for Dragon's Dogma 2 introduces the wintery northern region of Norgan, a land filled with mysteries and monsters. Players can begin this content by speaking with Captain Brant at The Stardrop Inn in Vernworth during the nighttime.
Upon interacting with Brant, players can select two new dialogue options. Choosing "About the new Arisen" initiates the Chilling Tidings quest, which leads to the Norgan region. Alternatively, selecting "About the uncovered ruins" triggers the Lost Rites quest, granting access to 12 new endgame dungeons.
While the expansion is accessible earlier, a character level of 40 is recommended for the new content. Furthermore, players who have progressed to the Unmoored World cannot access the expansion until they begin a New Game+ playthrough.
To start a New Game+ session, players can use a specific save option by holding X on a controller or Shift on a keyboard. This process carries over levels and equipment but resets quest progress and items, and it prevents further access to the previous save file.
