Where should you start in Dark Arisen?

Section titled “Where should you start in Dark Arisen?”
Start with Lost Rites if your Arisen is near level 20 or needs early-to-mid-game equipment. Enter Forsaken Dominion in Norgan around the published level-40 recommendation when your party can handle cold-weather penalties. In Norgan, collect relics, return to the Norgandian Settlement for appraisal, compare raw power and special effects against Thermal protection, then repeat.

Norgan Field Guide is an independent English companion for Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen Expansion on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch 2. It organizes confirmed pre-release and review-build facts into routes that can be used at launch without pretending every quest, drop rate or map position is already known.
