During the first set of jobs given to you by Captain Brant in Dragonās Dogma 2, one of them sees you trying to free Vermundās former magistrate, Waldhar. Unfortunately, itās not as easy as unlocking the door to his cell, but Iāll get you there.
Starting The Caged Magistrate quest in Dragonās Dogma 2
As mentioned, The Caged Magistrate is part of Dragonās Dogma 2ās main questline. Speaking to Captain Brant will give you the option āTell Me of the Magistrate.ā That will begin the quest. Brant will also give you a key to the Gaol that doesnāt break. This key is helpful if you get thrown in and need to get out, but unfortunately, you donāt get to keep it.
How to complete The Caged Magistrate in Dragonās Dogma 2
The job is simple: you need to spring the magistrate from the Gaol. If you want to make this even simpler, you can buy the Marchers armor set from the armory, or you can find a set in the guardhouse on the western end of the palace. The armor will make other guards not take notice of you. Itās not completely necessary if youāre sneaky, but it does allow you to wander in plain sight.
The gaol will be marked on your map, but essentially you need to go through the palace gates, up the stairs, and hang a left. There will be a tower that stands along there. When you approach them, theyāll tell you they got word from Captain Brant and will then let you in.
The Gaol’s layout is rather straightforward. Just keep descending, and youāll find yourself in a room lined with cells. The Magistrate is the first one on the right. Heās sitting on the bed in a slouched posture. Otherwise, thereās little to tell you heās Waldhar. Let yourself in and talk to him, and he will tell you he doesnāt want to leave unless you can provide him with some sort of library full of books and records.
Thatāsā¦ quite a demand from someone youāre trying to spring from prison.
If you return to Brant, heāll say that he doesnāt know of such a place. He tells you to maybe check with Kendrick at āThe Gracious Hand.ā This is a spot in the southeast of Vernworth in the Slums.
However, it gets more complicated than that. Kendrick doesnāt know of such a place either, but this will kick off the āThe Heel of Historyā quest.
The Heel of History in Dragonās Dogma 2
I go into greater detail in this guide, but to put it briefly, youāll be informed that a boy named Malcolm is busy. You need to talk to three children in the immediate area, who will tell you that Malcolm was last seen digging around the ruins. Bring this finding back to Kendrick, and he will take you to said ruins. Explore the ruins, find Malcolm, and you will find a buried archive.
Once the Heel of History is complete, you can go back to the Magistrate. Heāll agree to follow you. Take him out the backway (turn right when you leave the cell). The tunnel will emerge in the slums. Once youāre a safe distance from the exit, the Magistrate will thank you.
Take this information back to Brant, and heāll reward you for your efforts. Some time afterward, you can find Waldhar again in the Gracious Hand’s Vaults, where he will give you a quest to find his glasses.
