Learn how to identify the assassin in Dragon's Dogma 2's Shadowed Prayers quest. Follow our guide to apprehend the correct suspect and save Empress Nadinia.
Walkthrough
- 1When you first approach Flamebearer Palace, Menella will ask for your help. An assassin has attacked Empress Nadinia and wounded Menella.
- 2Menella tasks you with identifying the assassin during the next supplication in the Flamebearer Palace Prayer Hall.
- 3To ensure the supplication occurs, rest at an inn until morning.
- 4Return to Flamebearer Palace. Menella and Irmhild will speak with you at the bottom of the stairs. You will receive the Bandit Bill of Arrest note.
- 5The note describes the assassin as having their hair tied back and a wounded right arm.
- 6Proceed up the stairs to the Prayer Hall. You have a limited time to identify the assassin among the NPCs praying.
- 7Use your lantern to get a closer look at the NPCs. The assassin has their hair tied back and a noticeable scar on their right arm, not a fresh wound.
- 8Once you are certain, grab the correct individual by pressing R2 (default).
- 9A cutscene will play, and if you identified the correct person, Menella will thank you. You will then proceed inside the palace where Empress Nadinia will also thank you.
