There’s a hidden village you can unlock very early in Dragon’s Dogma 2 — or you can miss it entirely if you’re not talking to everyone in Vernworth. One of the best locations for archers is also shrouded in secrecy. A secret Elf enclave is located in the deep forests to the northwest of the capital, but outsiders aren’t allowed inside. If you want to find the secret settlement and earn one of the best Archer abilities in the game, you’ll need to follow these steps.
The Sacred Arbor is a secret elf village that’s totally optional and only available if you complete a series of quests. The elf village speaks another language, so you’ll need a translator to understand their language. If you follow these specific steps, you’ll unlock the village and understand the language.
This quest unlocks the Sacred Arbor — the town is located to the northwest of Vernworth in Malachite Forest. The elf village is packed with Archer associated gear. You’ll find special Elf weapons and armor. Elf smiths also provide different types of bonuses when enhancing gear.
You’ll find the Archer Maister in the Sacred Arbor. The father of Glyndwr will provide Maister Training after completing the ‘A Trial of Archery‘ quest. You’ll need to complete the quest successfully — which can be done very early in the game.
Completing these quests unlocks the Sacred Arbor but understand elf language is a different challenge. Here’s what you need to do.
To understand the elf language very early, be on the lookout for random Pawns that can speak elfish. Some pawns will announce they understand the language when you meet them.
If you have a Pawn that understands Elfish in your party, you’ll make quests with Elves much easier — you can also purchase gear and see what all the text says before buying.
And finally, you’ll meet the Archery-Maister in the Sacred Arbor. Look for the NPC Taliespin in the Arborist’s Home.
You don’t need to reach Max Vocation to unlock these rewards. All you need to do is complete the Maister quest, reach high affinity, and they’ll give you the item. Using the item will teach both you and your Main Pawn the high-level ability.
And that’s everything you need to know about the Sacred Arbor. There are more quests — like ‘The Ailing Arborheart‘ but you’ll need to wait much, much later before you’ll be able to progress. Until then, grab all the amazing gear from the store. If you’re a Mage or Sorcerer, you’ll want to upgrade your items at the Elven Smithy for bonuses to magic.
