Name a more fitting duo than fantasy plus elves. You likely can’t. Naturally, then,Dragon’s Dogma 2includes a whole settlement of elves in the Sacred Arbor, which is found to the northwest of Vernworth. When you first get there, however, you may find yourself a little… lost. You see, you don’t know Elvish.
Luckily, being able to understand Elvish is quite easy once you know how exactly you can acquire that knowledge. Unluckily, getting to that point relies a little on luck, and there’s no guarantee that you’ll be able to understand Elvish immediately when you need to.
How To Understand Elvish
When you first arrive at the Sacred Arbor, you might notice thatthe elves speak elvish onlyand that the dialogue (and even the shop menus!) are all in anincomprehensible script. To decipher this, you’ll need to recruit a Pawn with theWoodland Wordsmith Specialization.
When you speak to a Pawn with this Specialization, they willtell you immediatelythat their skill allows them to speak to elves.
Once you have a Pawn with Woodland Wordsmith, theelvish script that usually accompanies their dialogue will be replaced handily with whatever language the rest of the game is in- including menus in shops and at the inn.
As soon as you find a Pawn - either on the road, in the rift, or via a handy friend’s Pawn ID - it’s a good idea toFavorite them.Capcom’sown Pawns will never change Specializations, so it’s a good idea to keep them in your Favorites list in case you ever need a Pawn that understands Elvish.
How To Get The Woodland Wordsmith Specialization
As with other specializations, giving your Pawn Woodland Wordsmith is a case of acquiring the righttome. Tomes are acquired primarily asgifts from NPCs that have high Affinity for you.
Unfortunately, we have been unable to source a tome that teaches Woodland Wordsmith thus far - either as a gift or as a reliable source in the world - but we theorize that Elvish characters (such as Glyndwr and his family, who all have easily accessible quests to complete) are the likely suspects for providing the skill.
