Dragon’s Dogma 2 Shadowed Prayers guide

After pledging your aid to Menella in Nation of the Lambert Flame, you’ll get one step closer to the Shadowed Prayers quest. It should either unlock after a guard approaches the player or when encountering Menella at the Flamebearer Palace. Meet her there again in the morning, and she will ask you to look for a mysterious assassin. The description mentions a man “with his hair tied back” and a “wounded right arm.”

Go up the stairs to look for this specific character. Use the lantern to get a better look if it’s too difficult to see. The man in question should be on the right side of the stairs with brown hair and an X-shaped scar on his right arm. Talking to him won’t really do anything, so instead, grab him to satisfy the task in the Dragon’s Dogma 2 Shadowed Prayers quest. However, it would be best to be quick about it due to the mission’s time limit. It takes roughly two minutes to end, so keep that in mind when looking.

The man, now known as Herman, will immediately confess to the crime, taking you over to Irmhild for the quest completion. She’ll provide a considerable amount of rewards in gold and other gems. Irmhild also mentions the location of the Hot Springs at the Volcanic Islands. If you’re looking for a place with healing properties, this area proves helpful and rewards a trophy/achievement for those who enter.
