Dragon's Dogma 2 A Beggar's Tale Quest Walkthrough

Keep an eye on Albert

After getting the quest from Benton, your objective is to watch Albert go about his day. According to him, Albert seems to be doing well and he's sure it's not his great storytelling skills.

Now, since there is something "fishy" with this beggar, your task is to try and follow him to discover his secret. You can wait until night and follow him when he leaves the plaza or use a bench to skip time until night and then return to his spot. Simply follow him and you'll arrive at Walter's Tavern, then he'll move, and you must follow him again until you reach his home.

• If you don't see him at the plaza if you decide to skip time, head to Walter's Tavern and check by the bar [See Dragon's Dogma 2 Map]. But in some cases, you might not even find him there. If he's not around Walter's Tavern, then move to the location which is his "home". [See Dragon's Dogma 2 Map].

At his home (if you followed him or went ahead to the location if you don't see him at the tavern), you'll notice that the door is locked. Wait 3-5 minutes of real-time for him to exit, and you'lll see he has changed his clothing to a noble garb.  Go inside the house and pick up the Beggar's Garb from the corner of the room.

Deliver the Beggar's Garb

Albert is nowhere to be seen and only left the garb. It's important to note that there are three outcomes for this quest. It is up to you how you want to complete this quest which is to deliver the garb to three NPCs, YOU CAN ONLY CHOOSE ONE: (1) Celina who is at Walter's Tavern [See Dragon's Dogma 2 Map], (2) Hilda who is inside Baldwin's Estate [See Dragon's Dogma 2 Map], (3) or give the garb back to Albert who you'll find standing outside of the house where you picked up the Beggar's Garb [See Dragon's Dogma 2 Map].

Outcome 1: Give the Garb to Celina

Look for Celina in the Common's Quarter outside Walter's Tavern and hand her the Beggar's Garb. It turns out that her husband owns this garb and Albert is a noble pretending to be a beggar. Then, visit Celina after a few days (a day should be enough). Return to the house where you picked up the garb and a guard named Todd will greet you.

It turns out that Albert and Celina were found dead, with Albert being stabbed in the back and Celina claiming her own life. Todd is having a hard time believing what Celina has done, especially to her husband. Todd informs you that a witness claims Celina was turned away from a noble's estate shortly before their deaths.

Outcome 2: Give the Garb to Hilda

Hilda can be found at Baldwin's Estate [See Dragon's Dogma 2 Map]. You'll find her inside, sitting by the dining table. Speak to her and give her the garb. She will then tell you that she will find a way to confront her husband Albert and asks that you give her a few days. Rest or pass the time for just a day and return to the estate. Talk to Hilda and you'll learn about what had happened and what punishment she has decided to give Albert for his actions.

Outcome 3: Give the Garb back to Albert

The outcome for this is quite simple, you are to return to garb to Albert to help him keep his secret identity and his dishonest actions. You can find him outside of his second home with Celina, the same house where you got the Beggar's Garb when you followed him. [See Dragon's Dogma 2 Map]
