Dragon’s Dogma 2 Side Quest Guide
All Side Quests Listed By Location Including A Walkthrough For Each
![Dragon's Dogma 2 Side Quest Guide](https://www.gamersheroes.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Dragons-Dogma-2-Side-Quest-Guide-780x470.jpg)
Dragon’s Dogma 2 is filled with exciting and rewarding side quests, many of which are hidden and not on the map. Check out our Side Quest Guide below for the location of every side quest we discovered on our journey, and a quick walkthrough for how to complete the objectives.
Some of the side quests in Dragon’s Dogma 2 are time sensitive. This means that the events of the quest will play out, regardless of player involvement. Most of the time, this leads to two different outcomes, a positive and a negative outcome. For example, being tasked with finding someone out in the wilds who is under attack.
If you take too long to arrive, they may die. These quests are marked below by a (!) icon next to the name. We’ve been cautious and labelled ones that may be safe to wait, just to be extra safe. We recommend saving before every quest, just in case something goes wrong and rest at the Inn, so you have two files to restore to. Regardless, it’s a good idea to simply complete each quest as you unlock it and don’t get too sidetracked.
Lastly, Dragon’s Dogma 2 doesn’t differentiate between main story quests and side quests very well. So, there may be a few discrepancies.
Melve Side Quests
Brothers Brave And Timid
Quest Start Location
Outside Lennart’s House in Melve
Quest Summary
Speak with Ian and he will ask you to find his brother Norbet, who went into the woods to gather herbs.
Quest Walkthrough
Ian decides to guide you on this quest, as the path through the forest is one only he and his brother know. Escort him to the final objective location, making sure to keep Ian alive so you can rescue Norbet.
I went straight to the location and when Ian recommended camping, I ignored his suggestion and proceeded to Norbet’s location. There are several wolves that you need to kill.
Be careful, there is a larger enemy further down the road that you may not be ready for. It is not related to this quest.

Upon you return, visit Ulrika’s home and she should be in the office area speaking with Martin. Speak with her after the meeting. After you stay the night, Ulrika will flee Melve and you will need to track her down.

Quest Summary
Beren requires weapons and a motivated soldier to help train his troops.
Quest Walkthrough
Important: I recommend resting an an Inn and keeping that save untouched, should you need to reload if the outcome of the second quest is negative.
Head to the capital Vernworth and you will be approached by a young man called Humphrey. If you’ve yet to reach Vernworth, follow the main story until it takes you there. Beren requires you to deliver 3 swords, any type. I accepted Humphrey as the soldier as I was unable to find anyone else.
I purchased 3x Broadswords from the shop in Vernworth as there’s a follow on quest and I wanted to make sure Humphrey survived.
If you’re struggling to beat Beren, the Thief is the easiest Vocation. Save before the fight. Right at the start of the battle use the Imposition (rope pull) ability to put him off balance, then immediately use it again to throw him out of the arena.
I believe you must beat Beren and have supplied good weapons for Humphrey to survive the next quest. Wait some time and then return to Beren once this quest is complete.
Reward

At this point, you just need to wait until Albert leaves the area. I tried resting at the Inn, I tried passing the time at the tavern, both times Albert vanished by the time I had returned. So you just need to wait nearby until he moves away.

Quest Summary
You are tasked with tracking down the Jadeite Orb.
Quest Walkthrough
After grabbing the quest, speak with the other peddler near Celeste’s Smithy, he also wants you to procure the orb. If you originally got the quest from Everard, return to the entrance to the town and speak with the Peddler there. If you go too far into the town, Everard will have him killed.
You can purchase the Jadeite Orb from Ibrahim’s Scrap Store in Checkpoint Rest Town for 7,500 Gold.
There are multiple methods to solve this quest as you can give the Jadeite Orb back to Ibrahim and have him create a forgery or you can create two forgeries. You can then decide whether to give the legitimate orb to Offulve or Everard.
The “best” reward here is to give Everard the real one and Offulve the fake one. This gets you 15,000 Gold, an Elite Camping Kit, and a Ring of Skullduggery (Increases damage when attacking from rear). However, this results in Offulve being killed.
We recommend giving the legitimate orb to Offulve and then the fake on to Everard. When Everard has the item inspected, pay Ibrahim to lie. You lose the 12,000 Gold reward but Offulve has the legitimate article.

Speak to Alsa near the Ox Cart in the North East of town. Then speak with Timothy nearby, he’s near a cart. Then an old lady called Jacint, wearing a white apron and hat. She roams the area. Rodge can be found at this location, inside the cave.
You can follow blue flower petals along the floor, that glow at night, leading you to the cave shown. Once you have saved Rodge, simply escort him all the way back to town.
Be careful on the run back. The pathing here can be a little poor, so keep an eye on Rodge and make sure he’s close. If you lose him, he won’t be on the map, so just retrace your footsteps until you find him.

Quest Summary
You must report back to Doireann
Quest Walkthrough
Once you pick up this quest, return to Sacred Arbor and speak with Doireann. She will ask for rotten apples and rotten fish. Simply hold some in your inventory until they rot.
Fish are easy enough to find. I only found applies way south, over the large river, closer to Trevo Mine. They grow on bushes.
It takes 3-4 days of an item being in your inventory to ripen and then rot. Have Doireann prepare the dish and then return to Brokkr’s Smithy.
She gives you a Ferrystone to return to Bakbattahl. Retun to Brokkr’s and Sara will take you to a cave. I found 6 pieces in the cave.
Reward

Quest Start Location
Purchased a Ferrystone from the Issac’s Wares to start this quest
Quest Summary
Issac asks you to procure a ripened quince
Quest Walkthrough
Quince are common throughout Battahl. They are small, yellow fruits that grow on bushes. Keep one in your inventory for some time and it will ripen.
It takes 2-4 days for items to ripen and then rot. It’s a good idea to store it once it’s ripe, as this stops further degredation. Return to Issac after a few days.
You then need to find the other volume of the Transference Of Souls. You can purchase the second volume in Checkpoint Rest Town at Ibrahim’s Scrap Store for 2,000 Gold.
If you want to avoid making Isaac blind, which is what we assume happens if he gets the other volume, it’s a good idea to have Ibrahim forge the second volume.
