Complete The Arisen's Shadow in dragons dogma 2. Choose to accept 5000 gold or fight the spy and wait for Captain Brant.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    During the daytime, look for a mysterious figure running around Vernworth, often near the market square after leaving the guild hall, player house, or Inn.
  2. 2
    Chase after the Pursuer. When you get close, use the jump and hold ability to grapple them and bring them to the ground.
  3. 3
    A cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) will play, and you will have dialogue options to ask the man what is happening.
  4. 4
    You will be presented with a choice: accept his gold or refuse his offer.

The Arisen's Shadow Choices Explained:

You have two main choices:

  1. Accept his gold: The mysterious man offers you 5000 G and 1000 XP. If you accept, the quest ends, and the NPC (non-player character — anyone the game controls, not you) disappears.
  2. Refuse his gold: If you refuse the 5000 G bribe, you will have to fight the spy. Captain Brant may arrive during the fight. Try not to kill the spy, and keep your pawns away from combat to avoid accidentally killing him. It is recommended to continue grappling and throwing the spy around until Brant arrives. You can also carry the spy towards Brant's direction to speed things up.

Once Brant takes the spy, meet him at the pub at night. He will explain that he is interrogating the spy and will eventually reveal his identity and plans. Completing the quest this way grants you 1000 XP and 4000 G.

Tips
  • If you are looking for the best possible reward in terms of gold, accepting the spy's bribe of 5000 G is the best choice.
  • If you are playing a character focused on being 'good' or are interested in potential ending differences, refusing the gold and working with Captain Brant is the better option.
  • The quest does not appear to alter the main storyline.
  • Accepting Gold: 5000 G, 1000 XP
  • Refusing Gold: 4000 G, 1000 XP
