Capcom's Dragon's Dogma 2 immerses players in a thrilling action-adventure where they assume the role of the Arisen, destined to vanquish dragons and claim rulership. The game brims with diverse quests, unveiling unexpected plots and a myriad of vibrant personas.
One captivating storyline involves an attack on Empress Nadinia of Battahl. In the subsequent mission, players are entrusted with uncovering the truth behind the conspiracy and identifying the culprits. Here's a comprehensive guide to successfully navigate 'A Candle In The Storm' and explore all potential outcomes of this tale.
Mastering the 'A Candle In The Storm' Quest
Commence the Quest at Volcanic Island Camp
To initiate the 'A Candle In The Storm' quest in Dragon's Dogma 2, players must first shield the Battahl ruler from an assassin in 'Shadowed Prayers.' Subsequently, regardless of the prior quest's outcome, the journey progresses by meeting Menella at the Volcanic Island Camp.
Locating the Volcanic Island camp involves journeying south from Bakbattal, Battahl's capital. Depart from the city, heading left, then proceed along the southern route bending eastward, passing through Drabnir’s Grotto. Upon reaching the camp, interact with Lamond near the Hot Springs to unlock the Warfarer vocation. Menella halts your progress before the springs, seeking justice for the Empress's attack. Return to Bakbattahl to confront the perpetrator in the gaol and advance the mission.
Converse with the Culprit
Upon meeting Menella, revisit Bakbattahl and interrogate the assassin in the gaol. Locate the prison in the city's northern section upon entry.
In the prison, approach the first cell on the right to engage with Herman. Extract information by questioning or offering 5,000 G as a bribe. Herman discloses his affiliation with the Coral Snakes, directing you to a guild member within the prison. Return to Menella, who devises a plan to lure out the conspirators. Interaction with the Coral Snakes member, Ashe, is pivotal, contingent on Nadinia's survival in 'Shadowed Prayers.' Alternative resolutions exist for those with varied outcomes.
Navigating Unforeseen Events
If Nadinia perishes in 'Shadowed Prayers,' employ a Wakestone at Battahl Morgue to revive her and restore the storyline's course.
Engage with Ashe
After consulting Menella, confront Ashe at Bakbattahl gaol and disclose Nadinia's location. Menella's confirmation signals preparations for the impending encounter at a designated house, marked on the map.
Consequences of Decisions
At the appointed meeting place, deliberations ensue between Nadinia and Menella on strategies. Opt to support or oppose the Empress's involvement, influencing the unfolding events and their repercussions.
Outcomes of Choices
Supporting the Empress yields a favorable resolution, while opposing her leads to divergent consequences. Engaging the suspect directly unfolds another path, each concluding with distinctive rewards and implications.
