An Unsettling Encounter quest walkthrough
An Unsettling Encounter objectives:
Back to sneaking into theCastle! To complete the quest “An Unsettling Encounter”, don your Eventide Mask of disguise once more and enter Vernworth Castle, whereSoniathe guard will meet you once more, and escort you again to theGuardhouseexactly as she did for the previous quest,Disa’s Plot.
Enter the Guardhouse. Your aim is to reach the upper floor via that samespiral staircaseat the very back-right of the main hall. In case you don’t remember where that is, all you need to do is go through the next door after entering the Guardhouse, then turn right twice and head to the very back of the hall.
At the top of the stairs, take theright-hand paththis time, and you’ll be treated to a quick cutscene a few paces in, featuring Allard - the man you’re meant to be snooping on - and a long-suffering guard, Silas, who has come bearing a request for Allard to meet with Sven (thereby leaving his room free for said snooping).
Stand stillfor a few moments after the cutscene ends, and you’ll seeAllardandSilasexit in front of you from right to left. Once they’re gone, go into the room they just exited, and go through the incredibly conspicuoussecret passagein the left-hand wall. Pick up theBattahli-Crested Letteron the table, and then exit the secret room.
Voices outside will indicate the presence ofAllardandSvenjust on the other side of the door, so once again you must make yourescape via the window. Push against the left-hand window to open it, and use thecarriageon the ground below to soften your fall. Sneak past the guards and you’ll be intercepted byWilhelmina, who will once again cover for you when you’re nearly discovered - which was her fault anyway, so thanks for that, Wilhelmina.
All that’s left after that is to report, once more, back toBrantat the Stardrop Inn and deliver the Battahli-Crested Letter to him for 5,500g and aRing Of Accrual(increased weight capacity). And now the time has come for the final main quest of this arc of the Dragon’s Dogma 2 story!
