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
  1. 1
    When you first approach Flamebearer Palace, Menella will ask for your help. An assassin has attacked Empress Nadinia and wounded Menella.
  2. 2
    Menella tasks you with identifying the assassin during the next supplication in the Flamebearer Palace Prayer Hall.
  3. 3
    To ensure the supplication occurs, rest at an inn until morning.
  4. 4
    Return 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.
  5. 5
    The note describes the assassin as having their hair tied back and a wounded right arm.
  6. 6
    Proceed up the stairs to the Prayer Hall. You have a limited time to identify the assassin among the NPCs praying.
  7. 7
    Use 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.
  8. 8
    Once you are certain, grab the correct individual by pressing R2 (default).
  9. 9
    A 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.
