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 his wife – You can approach Hilda in the Noble Quarter and offer her the garb, then wait a few days before returning. On this visit, she’ll reveal that he now has a proper job and gift you three onyxes and 900xp.
- Give it to his mistress – Head to the slums and find Celina before giving her the beggar’s garbs. Wait until the morning, and a guard will be outside his Common Quarter house. It turns out Celina has killed the beggar, and then herself. The reward for this outcome is 3,000 gold, a Noonbloom, and an unending sense of guilt.
Now that you know all of the options for completing A Beggar’s Tale, you might be wondering how you get a Dragon’s Dogma 2 house of your own – after all, Albert had several. There’s another with a perilous plight too, so brush up on where to find Rodge before his poor grandfather has a meltdown.
