The Arisen’s Shadow is a quest that shows up after completing one of the three Main Quests that Ser Brant gives you at the end of the Seat of the Sovran quest in Dragon’s Dogma 2. After turning in one of the three said quests and leaving Stardrop Inn, one of your Pawns will notice that a certain person is shadowing your group, and the quest starts here.
The Arisen’s Shadow walkthrough
The Arisen’s Shadow is starts after completing one of Ser Brant’s assigned tasks at the end of the Seat of the Sovran quest in Dragon’s Dogma 2, and as you depart from Stardrop Inn.
As soon as you get out Stardrop Inn, one of your Pawns alerts you about an individual following your group, marking the beginning of the quest.
For now, you have no way of doing anything directly to your pursuer. However, you may randomly find him when walking around Vernworth. He is a man with black hair and gray outfit.
Chasing Down the Shadow
When spotted and tried to be approached, he will run away from you. Chase him down and grab him by holding E and sprinting towards him. If done correctly, you will pin him down.
You will find out that his name is Bermundo, and you can ask him a couple of questions before deciding to turn him in or not. After questioning him, he tries to bribe you so he doesn’t get turned in to the authorities.
Accept or not Accept the BRibe.
If you accept the bribe, you will receive gold, and Bermundo will be left alone. The quest ends here if you pick this choice.
If you do not accept the bribe, Bermundo will turn hostile and attack you. There is a possibility for you to kill him here, and then you won’t gather information on who sent him to spy on you. The quest also ends if you kill him.
So, try not to kill him and wait until Ser Brant appears. Simply survive and bide your time, fighting back but not fully committing to defeating him.
Once Ser Brant appears, the fight will come to an end, and a cutscene will play out.
You will now have to wait for a few days to speak to Ser Brant.
Come back to the Stardrop Inn at night and talk to Ser Brant. If done correctly, a new option should show up: “Tell me of the captured agent.”
It seems that someone from Battahl has tasked the agent to monitor you. The quest ends here.
