After hours of playing through Dragon's Dogma 2, when players reach the final boss, they will be presented with a choice. Though the choice seems obvious at first, the player will encounter another choice after the fight, which can trigger the true ending of the game.
In this world, not only will players have to face much more challenging enemies, but they will also have to be quick in their actions, as time is of the essence. Every area now has a major quest that involves evacuating the people in order to protect them from the fog that is slowly spreading. The Excavation Site in the Volcanic Island region has the Shepherd of the Pawn quest. Here is how to complete this quest and proceed to the endgame.
Dragon's Dogma 2: The Importance of Aiding Ernesto Walkthrough
As Dragon's Dogma 2's true ending approaches, players will need to complete the The Importance of Aiding Ernesto quest. Here is how to do just that.
How To Complete Shepherd of the Pawns
After reaching the Volcanic Island Region, you will come across the Excavation Site where a Golem is attacking. After dealing with the Golem. Henrique will come up to you, and thank you for arriving at the Site. He will ask you to follow him all the way up to the Prison Cells. In the Cells, you will come across quite a few Pawns who are refusing to evacuate. Henrique will express how he does not like Pawns being enslaved and will ask you to talk to them.
After talking to the Pawns, you will find out that the Overseer must have used a Godsway to restrict them from leaving. Henrique will then give you the Overseers' Lodge Key, which should open locked doors in the Excavation Site.
Finding The Godsway
After acquiring the Key, you need to head out of the Cells and make your way to the upper part of the Excavation Site where the Apothecary is situated. Next to the Apothecary is a house that has two chests with Detoxifying Decoction and Dried Spud. Next to the house is a small staircase that leads to another house. Open this up using the Key, and you will find the Overseer dead on the ground with the Diminished Godsway next to him. Make your way back to Henrique, and you can give him the Godsway, allowing him to take the Pawn to safety without delay. This will mark the end of the quest.
