Dragon’s Dogma 2: How to Join the Masquerade

Discover all you need to know on how to join the Masquerade in Dragon’s Dogma 2 quest “Stolen Throne” in this detailed guide.

In the critically acclaimed action RPG Dragon’s Dogma 2, players will encounter a pivotal quest called “Stolen Throne.” This mission requires the protagonist, known as the Arisen, to infiltrate a masquerade ball. Joining the masquerade is a crucial step in progressing through the game’s main storyline. This guide covers everything you need to know on how to join the masquerade in Dragon’s Dogma 2.

How to Join Masquerade in the “Stolen Throne” Quest

To join masquerade, you first need to start the Stolen Throne quest. To begin, you must speak with Commander Brant in the city of Vernworth.

Brant will task the Arisen with attending the masquerade ball to learn more about the False Sovran’s identity. He will provide the Eventide Mask, a necessary item for gaining entry to the event.

Getting Formal Raiment

However, the Eventide Mask alone is not enough to attend the masquerade. You must also acquire formal raiment, which consists of the Courtly Tunic and Courtly Breeches.

These items can be found in various locations throughout Vernworth:

• Noble Quarter: Allard’s Estate – In the two rooms on the second floor.
• Noble Quarter: Comptroller’s Home – In the two rooms on the second floor.
• Vernworth Castle: Regentkin Sven’s Chamber – Inside a chest.

It is important to note that purchasing the Courtly Tunic and Courtly Breeches from Philbert’s Sundries is not recommended, as the prices are ridiculously high (150,000 gold).

Attending the Masquerade Ball

Once you have obtained the Eventide Mask, Courtly Tunic, and Courtly Breeches, you can proceed to Vernworth Hall at night.

The guards will allow entry if the Arisen is wearing the appropriate attire. Upon entering, you will receive the “Nobles’ Night Out” achievement.

Inside the hall, the objective is to locate the False Sovran and follow him to the second floor. At the end of the hallway, there will be a fake wall leading to the Rose Chateau Borderlie, where the masquerade ball is taking place.

Alternative Method: Gaining Help from Wilhelmina

There is an alternative method to complete the Stolen Throne quest, which may occur during certain playthroughs. If players do not have the Courtly Tunic and Courtly Breeches, they may encounter Wilhelmina near the palace grounds at night.

• In this scenario, a cutscene will play where the Arisen and Wilhelmina share a kiss to prevent the guard from questioning their presence.
• Wilhelmina will then provide the Arisen with a card granting access to the Rose Chateau Borderlie.

Once inside Wilhelmina’s chambers on the second floor, guards will arrive, but she will distract them. Wilhelmina will instruct the Arisen to look through a peephole, revealing that the False Sovran is merely a puppet.

Progressing Further in the Stolen Throne Quest

Regardless of the method used to join the masquerade, you will gain valuable information about the False Sovran’s identity.

To continue unraveling the mystery, it is recommended to visit the Nameless Village. Additionally, there may be an opportunity to pursue a romantic relationship with Wilhelmina through a separate quest.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 offers a rich and immersive gameplay experience, with quests like the Stolen Throne adding depth and intrigue to the main storyline.

By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can successfully join the masquerade ball and progress further in their journey as the Arisen.
