Tolled to Rest | Dragons Dogma 2 Wiki

Tolled to Rest is a Quest for Dragon's Dogma 2 (DD2). This quest will have you escort a seemingly dutiful NPC named Oskar. After previously abandoning his duty to ring the bell at the cenotaph for a special rite, he's now resolved to continue his responsibility to make the passageway safer for people to travel through. This quest is affected by the passage of time.

Once the site of a war between Vermund and Battahl, the ancient battleground is now overrun with monsters. Yet there is one soul who braves it still, driven by a sense of duty.

How to Unlock Tolled to Rest Quest in Dragon's Dogma 2

This quest is unlocked by saving Oskar's request after saving him from a monster attack on the road to the Ancient Battleground. [Dragon's Dogma 2 Map].

Dragon's Dogma 2 Tolled to Rest Quest Notes & Tips

• This quest does not unlock any other quest. However, the location for this quest contains the Nation's Death Knell which is a grimoire required for the Side Quests, Spellbound, and The Sorcerer's Appraisal.
• This quest does not have multiple outcomes.
• This quest can be stopped or rendered unable to start by Oskar disappearing. Oskar disappearing in the middle of your tasks, or not appearing at all to start the quest, could be the result of him dying for whatever reason. For such instances, you may be able to find his body at the Vermund Charnel House [See Dragon's Dogma 2 Map], and then revive him to progress the Quest. Other players have found success with reloading their game or going back to the very first spot where they found Oskar.

Dragon's Dogma 2 Tolled to Rest Quest Walkthrough

Provide Aid

You'll find Oskar on the road near the east entrance to the Ancient Battleground. As you walk through the main path, you'll hear someone crying for help. Once you get to the source of the shouting, you'll find Oskar being attacked by monsters. The quest will automatically start and you'll have to defeat the monsters for your first objective.

Escort Oskar

After you save him, he'll make the request for you to escort him into the Ancient Battleground, to the cenotaph. Accepting will progress this quest to the next objective. After your conversation, simply follow Oskar west or head to the quest marker to enter the Ancient Battleground. Keep in mind that you do have to escort your charge, so don't get too far ahead and lose him. Head up the winding path and into the castle ruins to the north. Inside, you'll find a Skeleton Lord and its Skeleton minions waiting for you. Take the west opening to go up the spiral stairs and then up the ladder to the rampart.

From there, head east to the other side of the structure to find a hole in the ground with a ladder. Head down to fight some more Skeletons. To the west is a gate that you can be opened by hitting it with your weapon. This leads to the central room you were in a while ago. If Oskar is still lagging behind at this point, this will allow him to take a shortcut to follow you. After opening it, turn around and follow the path to your objective marker to find a room with a bell. If you'd been listening to him, he'd have talked about how it used to be his duty to ring this bell as part of a rite to appease the souls of the dead here. Once you arrive, he'll ring the bell and then show you his gratitude for keeping him safe. This will complete the quest.

The grimoire under the bell is the Nation's Death Knell, a book that is needed for the Side Quests, Spellbound, and The Sorcerer's Appraisal, and then can be consumed to learn the Meteoron Skill.

BONUS: The Ancient Battleground Key that Oskar gives you as the reward for this quest opens a room here in the Ancient Battleground. Head out of the room with the bell and you should see some double doors in front of you. Turn left to find another pair of double doors blocked by breakable creates. Break them and then use the key to open the double doors. The chests inside this room can contain a Ferrystone and the Infernal Edge.

WARNING: If you get to the bell ahead of Oskar, do NOT take the grimoire from its spot below the bells. Oskar will see that spot empty and you'll have to complete an additional objective of finding and returning a Nation's Death Knell to that specific spot. Players have reported bugs with this task, such as not being able to return the grimoire even if they had just gotten it a few moments ago.

NOTE: Other players have reported certain complications with this quest. Chief among them is not being able to find Oskar, either to start the Quest or to progress the escort objective, as Oskar seems to just disappear as you're waiting for him to follow you. Another is being unable to return the grimoire Nation's Death Knell, or using/selling it prematurely. Players have reported the following fixes for these glitches:

• For some, resetting the game and then reloading allowed Oskar to return to where he was supposed to be. Some players who'd just gotten the grimoire and then are unable to return it despite it still being in their inventory have also found some success with reloading the game.
• For some, they were able to find Oskar back at the point where they found him near the east entrance of the Ancient Battleground.
• Oskar disappearing in the middle of your tasks, or not appearing at all to start the quest, could be the result of him dying for whatever reason. For such instances, you may be able to find his body at the Vermund Charnel House [See Dragon's Dogma 2 Map], and then revive him to progress the Quest.
