Dragon's Dogma 2 Crossing in Shadow Quest Walkthrough

Escort Nadinia Without Exposing her Identity

This quest starts when you are visited by Vera in your home in Vernworth at nighttime. This can only happen if you've completed the quest, A Candle in the Storm, and if you have a home to visit in the first place. She'll ask you to meet with Nadinia outside on the cover of the night. Agree to it to start the quest. If you've fulfilled the conditions but find that Vera hasn't paid you a visit, simply keep resting until nighttime until it happens.

It seems that the Beastren Empress needs help to stealthily make it to the Rose Chateau Bordelrie. You'll simply have to follow her and Vera to the building as you come across different events in the city. Your Pawns won't come with so that you can travel in a smaller group and ensure that no one suspects you. Throughout this escort task, you'll encounter different Beastren needing aid in different ways. Depending on how you choose to help them, you might take too long and fail to bring your charges to the bordelrie before the morning comes, and they'll lose the cover of night.

Outcome 1: Arrived on Time

Eventually, you'll pass by Philbert's Sundries, where you'll see a Beastren being for medicine for his ailing wife. Philbert will not part with the medicine, especially not for some Beastren, showing the empress the dire straits of her kind in Vernworth. Nadinia will want to help him but with circumstances as they are, you'll have to do it yourself. If you speak to Philbert, choose to give him gold for the medicine so you can then give it to Dommel. This will render your pockets 1000 G lighter.

Continue following your charges and you'll eventually make it to the Noble Quarter. Inside, you'll come across a Beastren thief who'll ask your group for help. He'll express that the only way for their kind to survive in the city is by getting their hands dirty. Unfortunately, you'll have to refuse to help him if you're to make it to your destination in time. He'll get caught by the guard that was chasing him, and Nadinia will have some words about her kind's situation.

Eventually, you'll make it to the bordelrie, and the Empress will ask you to wait while she handles whatever she came here for. Time will automatically pass, and the Empress will be finished with her little meeting. She'll tell you that she has secured aid from the people of the Rose Chateau for her endeavor to help her kind's quality of living inside Vernworth. Vera will further explain that dealings between the two nations would cause trouble, so Nadinia has to keep her efforts hidden in the shadows.

You'll then speak with them near the statue of the Arisen, where you'll learn that the founder of Vermund was actually a Beastren himself. However, the past wars between the two nations have deeply mired their relationship. Nonetheless, after seeing how her kind has been forced to live here in the city, she's resolved more than ever to inch closer to the day that all would be able to live together in peace.

Outcome 1: Unable to Arrive on Time

If you choose to threaten Philbert, or agree to help the thief Fiachra, the situation will escalate to an altercation with the guards, which will cause you to be thrown in the gaol. This will make time too much time pass and have you be unable to fully escort the Empress to the bordelrie before the sun shines. You'll still complete the quest, and the Empress will still have renewed resolve to better the situation of her people.
