The Gift of Giving is a side quest in Dragon’s Dogma 2. When you reach the Slums in Vernworth, you may find a blonde young child talking to herself. She seems to be in trouble, so try talking to her to start the quest.
The Gift of Giving Walkthrough
The Gift of Giving starts when you talk to a blonde young girl wandering around in the Slums of Vernworth.
You might see her talking to herself, seemingly troubled by something.
Talk to her and she will tell you that the Gracious Hands of the Slums have been taking care of her, and she wants to give something back as a sign of gratitude.
She asks for your help and if you choose to accept, you will be tasked to find a Bunch of Flowers. This is also the official start of the quest. If you choose to decline, you can always come back to her and accept it.
To create a Bunch of Flowers, you will need to combine certain items such as Sunbloom and Noonbloom, Sunbloom and Moonglow, as well as Noon Bloom and Moonglow. Any of these pairs when combined result in a Bunch of Flowers.
Where to find Sunbloom, Noonbloom, and Moonglow?
Sunblooms can be acquired in the Bay Wayside Shrine area, near Myrddin’s Home, northeast of the Bridge of Theodracus the Second, and east of the Old Lighthouse.
Noonblooms can be acquired from various locations, including the Ruined Settlement, somewhere northeast of Checkpoint Rest Town, or the garden located southmost of the Vernworth Castle.
Moonglows can be found in the Moonglow Garden north of Melve, or near the Riftstone of the Fanged east of Checkpoint Rest Town.
Quest markers will show up in the map about where to pick up the materials for a Bunch of Flowers. You can choose to go there or follow our quick guide above.
Once you have a Bunch of Flowers, deliver them to Daphne. She will then request another item from you which you can choose to accept, or decline and postpone for another time.
If you choose to accept, Daphne will request a silver stone from you. You can then deduce that a silver ore should suffice. So, try to find a silver ore around Vernworth.
After accepting Daphne’s request, follow the quest markers that appear to quickly locate the needed items. The markers will lead you to the Ruined Settlement and near the Riftstone of Duty north of Vernworth.
Once you’ve obtained a silver ore, return it to Daphne. Then, wait for a few days for the story to progress before speaking to her again.
After a few days have passed, return to the Slums in front of the Gracious Hands and talk to Daphne once more.
She will then ask you for a gold ore. Similar to before, marked locations on your mini-map will appear where gold ores can be gathered.
Once you have acquired two gold ores, deliver them back to Daphne. Upon completion, she will immediately ask for your help again.
Daphne explains that the river by the church has become more polluted over time, causing patients to become sick. She now requests actual medicine to help alleviate their symptoms.
Your new task is to bring 5 “Antidote for Blight,” which are simply 5 Detoxifying Decoctions. These can be purchased from apothecaries or crafted by combining Pityworts and Syruptwort Leaves.
After delivering the 5 Detoxifying Decoctions, Daphne expresses her gratitude and The Gift of Giving quest concludes.
