A Veil Of Gossamer Clouds is a confusing quest in DD2. Here’s how to complete it.

Quests in Dragon’s Dogma 2 are often unmarked, requiring players to figure out what to and who to talk to in order to advance a certain quest. Love it or hate it, this is at the core of DD2’s design philosophy, and it’s here to stay.

It’s exactly why you think it is.

‘A Veil Of Gossamer Clouds’ is one such quest that becomes available after you get the Beastren Border Entry Permit from Captain Brant. Roaming around Vernworth will trigger an NPC to tell you that Sven is looking for you. However, his location will not be marked on the map.

How To Find Sven

Luckily, Sven is fairly habitual and is almost always found in his chambers in the castle. Enter the castle from the side entrance – the same one you used to enter during Disa’s Plot – and find Sven’s Chambers on the second floor at the far end of the hallway. This is also the location where we found the Torn Letter to complete the Disa’s Plot quest.


Talk to Sven, and he’ll inform you that he’s investigated Disa, and the clues lead to Battahl.

How To Complete ‘A Veil Of Gossamer Clouds’

The task details are clear: find your way to Bakbattahl and investigate the Forbidden Magic Research Lab for evidence of Lord Phaseus’ involvement.

  1. To enter Battahl, head to the Checkpoint Rest Town using the Oxcart on the western exit.

    There are two Oxcarts that leave Vernworth, both to different destinations. The one by the east door leads to Melve, while the one by the west exit leads to Checkpoint Rest Town. An easy way to check is that the Melve Oxcart costs 100G while the Checkpoint Rest Town Oxcart costs 200G.

  2. If you’re playing a human character, buy a Beastren Mask for 8700G from Ibrahim’s Scrap Store (marked on the map) and equip it.
  3. Make your way to the Battahl-Vermund border and hand the guard the permit that you were carrying.
  4. Head to Bakbattahl by using the Oxcart just on the other side of the entrance.
  5. Exit Bakbattahl from the eastern gate, just past the Residential Ward.
  6. Find the Forbidden Magic Research Lab outside of town (marked on the map).
  7. Explore the area, and you’ll trigger a cutscene with two Beastren talking about a ‘missive.’ After their talk is over, they’ll immediately leave.
  8. Enter the room they were just in, called the Laboratorium Workshop #2, and pick the Missive ‘Letter to Lord Phaseus’ from the table in the middle of the room.

  9. Return to Vernworth and talk to Sven again in his chambers.


Quest Rewards

Sven will read the letter to find out more details about Disa’s schemes and mark the quest complete. You’ll receive the following rewards.

Returning to Vernworth requires using three Oxcarts. However, if you have a Ferrystone handy, you can fast-travel directly to the Portcrystal in the city.

Remember to place a personal Portcrystal before you leave as there are no local Portcrystals in Battahl for you to take advantage of when you want to return later on.

DD2 offers little in the way of guidance and players are mostly left to fend for themselves. While immersive, it can get a bit frustrating at times when you get hard-stuck on a quest. If this sounds familiar, you might find our guides on ‘The Arisen’s Shadow’ and ‘The Stolen Throne’ helpful reads.
