Tale’s Beginning quest walkthrough
Tale’s Beginning objectives:
After a cutscene which shows a ballista bolt mortally wounding your Griffin savior from theprevious quest, you regain consciousness next to a river. In another cutscene, your fellow ex-con Rook is claimed by theBrine, spirit creatures that live in the water. But seeing as he’s a pawn, it doesn’t mean much, so there’s no need for spilled tears.
Immediately after Rook gets Brine’d, you’re met by a wandering group of soldiers led by a man namedJustinn, who asks you to accompany him back to the nearby Borderwatch Outpost where he and his group hailed from.
After the conversation ends, simply follow Justinn along the path, keeping an eye out for your firstchestand a few resource pickups on the way. The first chest is almost immediately on your left as you start along the path.
Along the path are two separate trios ofGoblinswho must be defeated. These are your first proper fights inDragon’s Dogma 2, so spend a little time getting used to blocks, dodges, and your different attack types. The goblins are fairly quick, and like to jump at you from a distance, so try to keep all of them in view at once. Each has low health though, so focus them one at a time to quickly tear them down.
Once the goblins are beaten, keep going along the path and you’ll reach the outpost, where you’re met at the gates by a group of pawns.
The following cutscene allows you to interact with the outpost’sRiftstoneto summon your firstpawn. Just like the creation of your own character, this can be as simple or as in-depth a creation process as you like - just know that this pawn will accompany you throughout your travels.
Feel free to explore the outpost for chests and side quests. Once you’re ready, speak toWarrickat theBorderwatch Loungeinn, where you can rest for free until the next morning, completing the Tale’s Beginning quest.
