Quick Links
InDragon’s Dogma 2, the world is expansive and filled with opportunities to keep you engaged at every turn. From hidden locations and dungeons to chests and characters offering quests, there’s something to discover in every corner. This approach makes exploration feel incredibly rewarding and actively encourages it, particularly when it comes to quests.
Since quests in this game aren’t indicated by obvious markers like exclamation points over characters' heads, you’ll need to approach every character you encounter in towns or in the world and interact with them to see if they have a quest for you. Alternatively, sometimes you may even be approached by characters while simply going about your business, adding to the dynamic nature of quest discovery in the game.
How To Start The Short-Sighted Ambition
This quest is availableafter you reach Battahland to get to that region, you can either progress through the story and it will take you there automatically or take a detour at the Checkpoint Rest Town. Either way, once you reach the capital, Bakbattahl, you need tolocate Issac shop which is located in the Mercantile Ward area.
Simply approach the shopkeeper Issac andbuy anything from him, and it will trigger the quest. Issac will then ask you if youcan find him aRipened Quince. While you cant find exactly a Ripened Quince, you can find aQuinceand then get the Ripened status for it later.
Where To Find The Ripened Quince
While there isn’t a single definitive location to find a Quince, the closest one can be foundto the far west of Bakbattahl,near the river. Head in that direction, and you’ll come acrosssmall tree branches bearing yellow fruits— that’sthe Quinceyou’re searching for.
Now to ripen this fruit into a Ripened Quince, simplyuse one of the benches at Bakbattahlanddoze off for a couple of days. Be sure to check the fruit’s status each day as ripening occurs gradually over time for fruits.
Alternatively,resting at an inn or in a housewill also achieve the same result, but using the benches is the easiest and cost-effective method.
Once you have the Ripened Quince,return to Issac and give it to him. He’ll then ask you towait a few days before checking on him again. To pass the time quickly, simply rest at a bench, inn, or house.
Completing the next stepwill result in being locked out of Ibrahim’s store. Therefore, it’s advisable to purchase anything you want from him before proceeding with the quest.
How To Get The On The Transference Of Souls 2
After a couple of days have passed,return to Issacand speak with him. He’ll have one more request for you: to retrievethe second pair of the special grimoire, which is theOn The Transference Of Souls 2. You may have already seen it for sale and wondered about its purpose. Well, now you’ll know.
Make your way to theCheckpoint Rest Town and visit Ibrahim’s Scrap Store. Speak with Ibrahim, and he’ll have the On The Transference Of Souls 2 available for purchase,priced at only 2,000 G. After acquiring the grimoire, return to Issac and hand it over to him.
In a somber turn of events, Issac will ask you tofollow him home, where he’ll attempt to perform the spell on his daughter and wife. This leads to a sad ending, but on the bright side, completing this task will finish the quest, and among the rewards, you’ll receive theRing of Disfavor.
