In «Mercy among Thieves» in Dragon's Dogma 2, players are tasked with finding a gang terrorizing local residents and attacking caravans. This guide will show you how to initiate the quest and navigate through all its stages. Discover the location of the bandits, learn the best strategies for confronting them, and decide the fate of the gang. Follow our step-by-step instructions to successfully complete this mission and restore peace to the troubled region.
The quest can be taken in the Border Town, near the parking area for carts heading to Backbattal. To the right of the gates, you will see two men—Tobias and Saverio. Eavesdrop on their conversation. A bit further down near the stables stands a man named Lissandro. Talk to him and promise your help to start the quest.
After talking to Lissandro, the marker on the map will disappear, and you will have to look for clues on your own. We recommend first talking to a child named Toumi, standing a bit further down the path near a tent. Give the hungry boy some food to unlock a funny cutscene.
Continue down the road until you eventually come across a man named Seferino. He will tell you that the Coral Snakes recently attacked a cart nearby. At this moment, a marker will appear on the map—head towards it. Interestingly, it's often in the marked location that monsters or bandits attack carts when you fast travel from the Border Town to Backbattal.
A bit further down near the bridge, you will meet a man named Hein, who will share details of the attack. Continue running to the cart and watch the cutscene. You will see a guy named Hugo heading to the bandits' camp. Follow his tracks and deal with two strong enemies.
Keep chasing Hugo, and when the suspension bridge breaks, turn left at the end of the path into a small cave and go through it. This will lead you to another bridge, which you can cross to the opposite side. All this time, archers and regular bandits will attack your squad.
Run after Hugo into the cave, where another cutscene will start. The gates on the left will be locked, so go through the passage on the right. Emerging from the cave, you will enter the territory of the main bandit camp. At the same moment, the captain of the guard will appear. Eliminate all the enemies in this area and look around. Here you can find several chests.
When you're ready, find the passage between the rocks and continue chasing Hugo. A cutscene will start, after which the guy will be arrested, and you will receive 8000 gold and 4000 experience.
Tip: If you are playing as a rogue, immediately after completing the quest, inspect the chest in front of you and take the Frost Blades. And if you climb up the ladders to the high ground, you will find another chest with an item for upgrading equipment.
