Dragon’s Dogma 2: Should You Accompany Gregor to the Capital? – Answered

After you’ve spent some time in Melve, you’ll get a request from Gregor to accompany him to the Capital in Dragon’s Dogma 2. It might seem like a major decision at first, but this guide is here to help you make the right one.

Should You Go to the Capital with Gregor in Dragon’s Dogma 2?

The short answer is yes, you should accompany Gregor to the Capital after you finish the side quests in Melve in Dragon’s Dogma 2. Taking the Oxcart with Gregor is a super safe way to reach Vernworth for the first time and it even leads to an easy fight with a tough Cyclops boss. If you haven’t seen one of them yet, having a caravan to back you up is a massive advantage. But getting to the Cyclops is just the start of the journey to Vernworth. After that battle, Gregor will give you yet another choice.

Because you need to travel with Gregor to gain entry to Vernworth, it’s 100% mandatory to accompany him from Melve. However, after you take down the Cyclops, he will ask if you wish to continue or get to the Capital on your own. At this point, I highly recommend not going with Gregor for the rest of the trip. You should take the time to explore the area in Dragon’s Dogma 2 so your party is in a much better position before reaching Vernworth.

Whether you decide to continue to accompany Gregor or explore on your own, he will provide you with a note for access to the Capital. This is what lets you get past the guards at the main gate and you won’t be able to get it if you skip the trip from Melve. So the trick is to accompany Gregor when you leave Melve but go on your own after you defeat the Cyclops and clear the river.

If you decide to walk to Vernworth, make sure to set up a campsite for much-needed rest.
