Endgame | Act VII Dragon's Dogma Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Defeating the Dragon doesn't mean the end of the game - quite the contrary. It opens a path to the full and final ending which you can read about in the further parts of this guide. Getting rid of the beast also introduces the so-called "Hard Mode" or "Endgame".
What it means is that the properties of the realms change. It's not only a visual change, because the well-known locations now have more threatening versions of enemies, new quests and additional challenges. In turn, it also means additional items.
What's more, from now on you can visit The Everfall - a special location connected with the main quest, but containing a whole lot of new challenges. In practice, it means that at the end of the game you receive several dozen additional hours of new play.
