In Dragon's Dogma 2, you assume the role of the Arisen, the chosen hero destined to vanquish the dragon and rescue the realm. Within the bustling capital of Vernworth, the Arisen holds sway as the de facto leader, wielding significant authority over the city and its inhabitants.
Upon your arrival in Vernworth to validate your identity as the true Arisen, you embark on aiding Captain Brant by undertaking tasks to bolster public perception of your legitimacy. However, your actions do not escape the notice of adversaries, and soon you discern a shadowy figure surveilling you. Below, we'll delve into uncovering this spy and navigating the challenges they pose in The Arisen's Shadow quest.
How To Start The Arisen's Shadow Quest
The quest known as "The Arisen's Shadow" initiates automatically following the fulfillment of specific tasks assigned by Captain Brant upon your arrival in Vernworth. Typically, this occurs subsequent to completing the trio of Monster Culling assignments and delivering your findings to Brant.
Should the quest fail to commence, consider undertaking additional tasks for Brant or extending your stay within Vernworth. These actions may prompt the activation of the quest.
How To Complete The Arisen's Shadow Quest
To embark on this quest, your initial task involves identifying the individual tailing your every move. This can be undertaken at any hour within Vernworth. Occasionally, your Pawns may remark on feeling a sense of being observed or mention eyes upon you while traversing the city. When such dialogue arises, pause and survey your surroundings.
The individual you seek is named Bermudo, attired in brown leather garments with a concealing hood. At times, he may dart past you. Exercise vigilance and keen observation to detect his presence.
Locating and apprehending Bermudo may require ingenuity. Consider staking out a lengthy alleyway or devising tactics such as ambushing him from an elevated vantage point.
Once Bermudo is sighted, give chase and seize him, employing tactics to restrain him and bring him to the ground.
Should You Apprehend Or Release Bermudo?
Upon seizing Bermudo, you face a pivotal decision with two distinct choices: either detain him without compromise or opt to negotiate compensation. Refusing to release Bermudo will inevitably escalate into a confrontation. Likewise, if you demand remuneration and subsequently backtrack on the agreement upon receiving gold, a skirmish will ensue.
Alternatively, accepting Bermudo's offer, receiving the gold, and releasing him will grant you a reward of 5000 gold.
In the event of a physical altercation with Bermudo, exercise caution to avoid lethality. Following a brief interval, Captain Brant will intervene to halt the altercation. Subsequently, you'll engage in a dialogue with Brant, who discloses Bermudo's affiliation as a spy from Battahl. Brant advises patience while they extract further intelligence from Bermudo.
After a few days elapse, revisit Brant to conclude the quest, earning a reward of 4000 gold. However, Brant informs you of Bermudo's continued detainment and pledges to provide updates as they uncover more information. You retain the option to periodically consult Brant for progress updates.
