The Saint of the Slums quest in Dragon's Dogma 2 is one of the most intricate side stories found in the city of Vernworth. Players must navigate suspicion, gather hidden evidence, and make critical decisions that reveal the dark truth behind the city's charitable relief house. Completing this quest not only rewards significant experience but also unlocks vital narrative insights into the kingdom's darker secrets.
Starting the Quest in the Slums
To initiate the quest, head to The Gracious Hand in Vernworth's Slums district and speak with Abbess Elena. She will request assistance in procuring specific medicine materials, specifically Miasmite, to help cure sick patients under her care. Keeping track of daily gaming news can help players discover efficient farming spots for rare enemy drops needed across RPG questlines.
Miasmite is dropped by Phantasms that appear at night in the wilderness surrounding the capital city. Once you deliver the requested items to Elena, the quest shifts toward investigating the suspicious conditions within the basement ward.
Investigating the Secret Basement Ward
After helping Elena, eavesdrop on conversations between patients like Lubomir to learn about unusual treatments happening at night. Wait until evening, then sneak into the basement room behind the curtain to discover a secret sickroom and hidden medicine samples. Search the area carefully to pick up the Unlabeled Medicine and a Patient Records ledger detailing strange patient transfers.
Take the evidence to the doctor Radph in the Common Quarter to identify the dangerous nature of the compound. He will confirm that the medicine is actually a slow-acting poison used to keep patients incapacitated rather than cured.
Confronting Elena and Final Choices
With the evidence in hand, return to The Gracious Hand at night to locate Abbess Elena near the basement entrance. Tackle or grab her directly using your grab button to trigger her arrest by the local guards. Allowing her to flee or confronting her at the wrong time of day can stall quest progression, so timing is crucial.
If you fail to gather all the necessary evidence before grabbing her, the guards will not arrest her properly, forcing you to backtrack. Ensuring you have both the medicine sample and Radph's assessment guarantees a successful resolution.
Quest Rewards and Consequences
Successfully apprehending Elena completes the Saint of the Slums quest, rewarding players with 3,000 EXP and 10,000 Gold. Resolving the mystery also restores safety to the patients in the Slums while bringing justice to the corrupt organization operating in Vernworth. Players who complete this storyline will secure a key achievement and gain valuable reputation among the city's poorer residents.
