Unlocking hairstyles in DQB2 (Dragon Quest Builders 2) can significantly enhance your character's appearance and self-expression. This guide will walk you through the process of unlocking and changing hairstyles in this creative sandbox game.
Understanding Hairstyles in DQB2
In DQB2, hairstyles are not just cosmetic; they also determine your character's hair color. You start with a default hairstyle and hair color, but as you progress, you'll unlock new hairstyles and colors. Each hairstyle is tied to a specific NPC (Non-Player Character) in the game, and you'll need to complete certain tasks or reach specific story milestones to unlock them.
How to Unlock Hairstyles
Unlocking hairstyles in DQB2 is a gradual process that occurs naturally as you play the game. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you understand when and how to unlock new hairstyles:
Story Progression
Many hairstyles are unlocked as you progress through the game's story. For instance, you'll unlock the 'Island Kid' hairstyle after completing the tutorial island, and the 'Island Adult' hairstyle after reaching the mainland. To unlock these, simply continue playing the game and follow the story quests.
Completing Side Quests
Some hairstyles are tied to side quests. For example, you can unlock the 'Pirate' hairstyle by completing the 'Pirate's Booty' side quest on the Isle of Awakening. To access these quests, talk to NPCs and look for exclamation marks above their heads.
Unlocking Hairstyles Through NPCs
Certain NPCs in DQB2 have unique hairstyles that you can unlock by interacting with them. For instance, you can unlock the 'Elder' hairstyle by talking to Elder Ebony in the Sunken Shrine. To find these NPCs, explore the game world and interact with various characters.

- Navigate to the 'Customize' tab, which is represented by a mirror icon.
- Select the 'Hair' option.
