Welcome to NGB and our Dragon’s Dogma 2 walkthrough on The Phantom Oxcart quest. Here you’ll find everything you’ll need to breeze through this quest.
How to obtain The Phantom Oxcart quest
To begin The Phantom Oxcart quest in Dragon’s Dogma 2, you’ll need to get the Bakbattahl residence pass during the main story then return to Vernworth. Upon entering Vernworth, you’ll hear mention of a phantom oxcart and will automatically get this quest added to your roster.
The Phantom Oxcart Objectives
Investigate the phantom oxcart
After night falls, follow the road northeast out of Vernworth to find the phantom oxcart. Approach this carriage to trigger a cutscene with Navil and Mansenn.
Question the soldier
Next, speak with Navil by grabbing him (press R2). This will cause him to spill the beans. You can either take him to jail (which causes you to automatically be sent back to Vernworth) or accept his bribe of 5000G. It does not matter either way!
Find out who’s behind the oxcart
Head over to Captain Brant in the Stardrop Inn and speak with him to hand over the Merchant’s Document you received from Navil.
Pursue the oxcart
For this objective, you’ll have two options. You can either follow discretely behind the oxcart to see where it goes or dress as a Pawn and hitch a ride. We highly recommend dressing as a Pawn as it will net you the “Are We There Yet?” trophy! First, make your way to the objective’s location then tell your Pawns to “Wait!” out of sight. Next, you’ll need to strip down, removing all your weapons, armor, cloak and rings. Once you’re ready, approach the phantom oxcart and speak with Mansenn. You’ll then be able to head around back and hop in the cart.
While on the ride, you’ll encounter some goblins and Mansenn will yell at the Pawns to get out and fight. DO NOT equip your weapons or armor or use any skills. Just punch them! Once they’ve all been defeated, hop back in the cart.
When you arrive at Checkpoint Rest town, the soldiers will stop the cart and assault the Pawns. Just stand there and take it. DO NOT do anything!
Gather evidence and report to Captain Brant
When you reach the Flamebearer Palace Spellseal Door in Bakbattahl during a cutscene, the guards will recognize that you are not a Pawn and attack. Reequip everything (weapons, armor, cloak and rings) then take them out to receive the Labor Requisition Order. Take this order back to Captain Brant at the Stardrop Inn in Vernworth. As a reward, you’ll receive Ring of Momentum and 14,500G.
