One of the main quests you get from Brant early in the campaign for Dragon’s Dogma 2 is to attend the Masquerade at the Vernworth castle grounds. You may have approached the area to no avail, or even already have your Courtly Raiments and the guard tells you “There’s no Masquerade tonight”.
Simply waiting and passing days will not make the night of the Masquerade come, you must first complete several other quests that mostly stem from Brant himself. During this time in the campaign, Brant will give you three quests for you to explore:
Complete Pre-requisite Quests
The order that we have listed the quests is no coincidence. You will essentially need to complete these quests in this order. However, there are more to each of these quests than simply completing them. You first will need to complete An Unsettling Encounter, but to begin it you will need to trigger another quest first.
If you still need to complete these, wehighly suggest you follow this guide which outlines both An Unsettling Encounter and The Caged Magistrate. This guide gives step-by-step instructions to complete these.
As a recap, you will need to complete these tasks:
How to Get To The Masquerade in Dragon’s Dogma 2
Now that you’ve completed the other quests that allow you to venture through the castle, you should have all you need to move onto the masquerade. Something specific you will need are royal raiments. You will need:
You should have looted the Courtly gear in chests within the castle while you were completing the other quests. If you didn’t happen to get these, you will need to return to the Vernworth Castle and run through any rooms you can find within the castle, opening chests until you get the chest and the pants.
We were able to get 2 sets of the Courtly gear, so we know there are at least two different chests within the castle which you may get it.
Attending the Masquerade
If you have all 3 of these equipped, head back to Brant and ask of the Coronation. You will be brought to a cinematic, then shortly after, back to Brant. Now the Masquerade is officially “unlocked” to be able to attend to.
Head to Vernworth Hall at Vernworth Castle. Enter the building and head around to the back room. There is a hidden door (shown near 7:45-8 minutes in the video below). Walk through this door and you are able to duck out the back, towards the Rose Chateau Bordelrie.
While in the establishment, follow the storyline and you will complete the quest. We will not write much more here about this quest as it is mostly cinematics at this point, so sit back and enjoy the show until the quest is completed!
