Follow this Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen walkthrough to investigate the 'Salvation' cult. Find clues in Gran Soren, locate Mason in the Aqueduct, and discover the Catacombs.
Walkthrough
- 1Speak with Ser Maximilian to accept the quest 'Investigate a Cult'.
- 2Seek information about the cult 'Salvation' in Gran Soren. You will be directed to either Devyn at Devyn’s Barber Shop or Meridith at the Gran Soren Union Inn.
- 3Both Devyn and Meridith will refer you to Mason, who is hiding in the Slums (Aqueduct) north-east of the Venery.
- 4Enter the 'Aqueduct' via a ladder and find Mason in the eastern-most tunnel.
- 5Talk to Mason. He will give you 'Salvation's Badge' to help you gain the trust of cult members.
- 6The map will now show three potential informants. You only need to find one. Speak to Ser Sarius, a Gran Soren soldier who patrols near the Gran Soren Union Inn and the bridges to the south-east.
- 7Ser Sarius will reveal that a gathering is taking place at the Catacombs, a location he deems too dangerous. This is your destination.
- 8To reach the Catacombs, you must travel through the Estan Plains and into the Deos Hills to the north.
- 9Before heading directly to the Catacombs, take a detour. Exit Gran Soren via the southern gate (the one you first used to enter the city).
- 10Cross the bridge leading away from the city and head south-west. You will encounter a cart being attacked by Goblins.
- 11Assist the Gran Soren guards in fighting the Goblins. During the fight, a Griffin will appear. It will likely snatch the Oxen from the cart and fly away. This is not considered your first Griffin fight.
- 12To proceed to the Catacombs, exit Gran Soren via the northern gate.
- 13Follow the road north-west towards the bridge that separates the Estan Plains from the Deos Hills.
- 14Cross the bridge. Be aware that Goblins may randomly appear as an 'Ambush!' quest.
- 15Continue north-east on the road until it forks. Take the north-western fork.
- 16During the day, you may encounter a few Bandits. At night, you will face Skeletons and Phantoms.
- 17Just south of the bend where the road turns west, you will find two sets of warrior remains west of the road. A sacked caravan with Undead may also be found nearby.
- 18Continue west and north-west. You will find another fork in the road. The current road continues west, while an unmarked path heads north.
- 19More warrior remains can be found east of a large boulder near the unmarked northern path. The Catacombs are located at the end of the northern path.
Tips
- Bring plenty of lantern oil, as the Catacombs are dark and require a light source.
- The journey to the Catacombs involves traversing the Deos Hills, providing an opportunity to explore this area.
