This guide focuses on the «Nation of the Lambent Flame» quest in Dragon's Dogma 2, where players embark on a journey to find the city of Bakbattal and obtain a city residency certificate. We provide the easiest routes and methods for reaching the city, navigating through challenging terrains and encountering various characters along the way. This guide will ensure you efficiently reach Bakbattal, making your travel less cumbersome and more focused on exploring and enjoying the narrative developments of the quest.
This is one of the last main quests you can take in Vernworth. After you fail to attend the coronation ceremony of the false ruler, the captain will suggest finding sages who know how the Voice of the Sovereign works, and perhaps even obtain a similar item.
The journey is a long one: first, you need to head to the Border Town (a carriage will be waiting at the city's western gates every morning). The ride will cost you 200 gold. As usual, you may be attacked by a group of goblins on the way, or, as in our case, a giant cyclops.
Upon arriving in Border Town, we recommend setting up a return crystal anywhere, as it will greatly simplify moving between cities. But you can keep it with you and use it as needed.
Approach the far gates, where a guard will ask you for a pass, and watch the cutscene. After that, show the guard the travel permit you got from the captain, and follow the main road down. This way, you will get a achievement and can wait for the carriage going to Bakbattal.
Note that if you're only following the story and spend little time in the open world, the journey on foot will be dangerous: you will encounter high-level enemies with good defense. Along the way, you will also meet wanderers in need of your help. If you decide to go on foot, you will definitely meet a man who will ask you to accompany him to the nearest temple. This place will be needed several times for future quests, so you may agree.
When you arrive in the city of Bakbattal, Menella will meet you and ask to meet her in the nearest tavern. Complete this task to receive the Battal Resident Certificate and complete the quest. As a reward, you will receive 3200 experience points.
