Dragon’s Dogma 2: A Beggar’s Tale Quest Guide

Solving A Beggar’s Tale quest in Dragon’s Dogma 2 isn’t as straightforward as it claims to be. We’ve figured it out, so you don’t have to.

How does the beggar make his money in Dragon’s Dogma 2? This ambiguous quest will task you with simply watching the beggar in Dragon’s Dogma 2 – but please don’t do what we did and follow him for 24 in-game hours. Conversations with him and the bystander nearby who grants the quest turn up nothing, so just how do you complete this optional mission in DD2?

It’s just one of many Dragon’s Dogma 2 quests, but it can be a head-scratcher if you don’t know where to turn. To pick this quest up in Dragon’s Dogma 2, you’ll need to be near the statue in the Merchant Quarter in Vernworth, so check the Dragon’s Dogma 2 map if you’re not sure where to head first.

How to Unlock A Beggar’s Tale Quest

You’ll need to open your map and find the location of the Merchant Quarter. When you’ve arrived, look for the statue of the dragon being slayed in the center. You’ll want to look for a beggar named Albert in front of the statue, regaling stories to a (very) small audience. In fact, his audience is just one man, who wonders just how the beggar makes his money. He asks you to watch him for a while, and this is when the quest will appear in your log.

How to Complete A Beggar’s Tale Quest

Logically thinking, you’d expect that following the beggar around all day to see where he goes after he’s finished his dramatics by the fountain would uncover the information. We can confirm, after staying glued to him for more than 24 in-game hours, that this just isn’t the case.

You’d be wise to follow him when he leaves the fountain. This usually happens when the sun starts to go down, so keep an eye on its position in the sky to know when that’s about to happen, as you could tick off some other objectives in the meantime instead of standing around.

When the beggar gets to his house in the Common Quarter he’ll change his clothes and head somewhere else. Where? Well, he’s headed to the Noble Quarter to see his family after visiting his mistress in the slums, but that’s his business. As he leaves the house, slip inside and steal his Beggar’s Garb.

Who Do You Give the Beggar’s Garb to?

You’re given the option of three different NPCs to hand the Beggar’s Garb over to. Logic would dictate that you hand it to the NPC in the square who gave you the quest, but there are multiple options. Here are the rewards and locations:

• Give it back to the beggar – You can wait a day or two and head back to Albert’s house in the Common Quarter. He’ll be outside, and will give you 5,000 gold and 900xp to keep your mouth shut so he can continue living his double life.
• Give it to the man who gave you the quest – He’s in the Merchant Quarter, near the statue. He’ll give you 10,000 gold and 1,000xp.
• Give it to the merchant in the square – You’ll find him in the Merchant Quarter, near the statue. He’ll give you 7,000 gold and 950xp.
