Shadowed Prayers Quest Guide in Dragon's Dogma 2

This quest involves stopping an assassination attempt on Empress Nadinia during her morning prayers. Here is the step-by-step guide to complete it:

Triggering the Quest: Speak with Menella

To initiate the Shadowed Prayers quest, players must first speak with Menella at Rockmouse's Burrow just outside the city after completing the main story quest "Nation of Lambent Flame." It's crucial to rest at an inn or a private residence before proceeding to the next step. Upon waking, head to the Flamebearer Palace, where Menella will be waiting to discuss the danger to the Empress.

Identifying the Assassin

Menella provides a description of the assassin via the Bandit Bill of Arrest item, stating that the culprit has his hair tied back and a wounded right arm.

Players must use this information to identify the assassin among the devotees attending the Empress's prayer ceremony. The correct target is a man named Herman, who can be found kneeling in a green toga on the steps closest to the right wall. Observing him closely with a lit lamp reveals a small red line across his right arm.

Capturing the Culprit

Approach Herman carefully to avoid accidentally tackling the wrong person and press the designated button to capture him when prompted.

A cutscene will play upon successfully identifying and grabbing the assassin, leading to the quest's conclusion. Failure to select the correct target will result in quest failure, but reloading from the last inn rest save allows for another attempt.
