Aiding a Research Team: Chapter 2 The Wyrm Hunt

Need help with The Watergod's Altar quest in Dragon's Dogma? Follow our guide to speak with Father Geffrey, find Brother Jean, and investigate the ruins for Ser Maximilian.

Alright, let's tackle the 'Watergod's Altar' quest in Dragon's Dogma. This one's a bit of a trek, but totally doable. It's part of the Wyrm Hunt Quests, so it's important for the main story. First things first, you'll need to talk to Ser Maximilian. He hangs out in the Noble Quarter. Just pick the option to 'Aid a research team,' and you'll get the quest. Your main goal is to help out a research team that's checking out The Watergod's Altar. Head there and meet up with the researchers. Walkthrough: 1. Chat with Father Geffrey: Start by visiting Father Geffrey at the Gran Soren Cathedral. He'll give you the rundown and point you towards the Man Swallowing Falls, where the survey party is. 2. Getting to the Altar: The falls are west of The Mountain Waycastle. You'll take a path off the Manamia Trail. Keep an eye out, though, as Goblins usually guard this area. You'll need to cross the river to reach the Altar. Once you're there, find and speak with Haslett. 3. Find the Missing Brother: Haslett will ask you to look for Brother Jean, who went into the Altar and hasn't come back. Inside, you'll hit a gap with a raised drawbridge and a locked magical door. Head down the stairs to the left to find a big chamber. You'll have to fight off a bunch of Saurians in there. After you clear them out, grab the Watergod's Altar Lever from the inner room. This will lower the drawbridge. The drawbridge leads to an upper area with broken walkways. Be ready for Skeleton Mages and more Saurians! The path to the left is your best bet to get to the Offering Chamber and finish this part. You should find Brother Jean's remains in the Offering Chamber. You can head back to Haslett to tell him the bad news. 4. Report Jean's Demise to Haslett: When you tell Haslett about Jean, he'll ask you to go back into the chamber and find some stone engravings. These are important for their research on the Dragon. 5. Investigate the Ruins: This is the next step, officially called 'Investigate the Ruins.' Past where you found Jean, in the Offering Chamber, there's a Cyclops. You'll need to defeat it to get the Watergod's Altar Key (or something similar, the source text cuts off here, but that's the general idea!). Keep your wits about you in the ruins, and you'll be fine!
