By the time you reach the Dreams Apart quest in Dragon’s Dogma 2, you’ve experienced most of what the game has to offer. A few surprise twists remain, however, starting with your abrupt separation from your main pawn. Here is our guide telling you where to find your pawn in the Dreams Apart quest in Dragon’s Dogma 2.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 – Where to Find Your Pawn in Dreams Apart
The Dreams Apart quest begins when you conclude the Legacy quest in a particular way. You might call it the start of a path that leads to the game’s true ending. You begin the quest by waking up in a hostile version of the world you once knew, with your main pawn nowhere in sight. To find your pawn in the Dreams Apart quest, you must meet with Phaesus in the Forbidden Magick Research Lab.
When you first appear at the start of the Dreams Apart quest, you find yourself north of Bakbattahl. The land around you looks a lot different. The sea is essentially gone. There’s a red haze in the sky. People are still around, including most of any pawns you had in your party. Ideally, one of them will possess healing magic, in case you need it. The enemies you face now are tougher than the ones that typically occupied much of the region. They also award more XP when you defeat them.

Start your journey by following the Dreams Arisen quest. That way, a beacon appears on the map to guide you to your general destination. You have a lot more freedom as you explore, with so much water out of the picture. Most of the enemies you’re likely to face on this particular jaunt are Saurian lizards, harpies, and the occasional band of malicious humans.
Make your way southwest toward Bakbattahl. If should be plainly visible on your map. Most of the way there, you can follow a road. I didn’t encounter any enemies once I made it to that road, which was just as well with my party down one member. The road leads to Bakbattahl, which is still populated. You should easily find Flamebearer Palace Road.
Follow that road east to the palace. When you arrive, take the usual route to the lab. As you enter the lab on the lower level, head past the dragon.
Formerly, you conducted important business in the room at the back. If you check it now, there are some interesting scrolls you can read to learn about Phaesus and his experiments. However, you must climb the stairs just outside the door to reach a more important chamber on the upper level.
Head inside that upper chamber and talk to Phaesus. He answers questions you might have. He also poses one of his own. When that exchange concludes, your pawn awakens and rejoins you. The mission ends and you receive some hefty rewards: 15000 XP, 30000 G, and 1000 RC. Now you’re ready to properly resume your adventure.
