The quest titled Every Rose Has Its Thorn in Dragon's Dogma 2 is one of the most compelling side missions in Vernworth. It offers players an opportunity to deepen their bond with Wilhelmina, the proprietor of the Rose Chateau Bordelrie. Completing this objective successfully uncovers major political secrets while unlocking unique rewards and romance options.
How to Unlock the Quest
Before beginning this questline, you must complete key story missions including An Unsettling Encounter. After meeting Wilhelmina, you will need to increase her affinity by giving her gifts such as flower bouquets over several days. Once her affinity is high enough, visiting her quarters at the Rose Chateau will trigger a secret conversation observation via a peephole, officially launching the assignment.
Gathering Crucial Evidence
Wilhelmina tasks you with finding incriminating evidence against Allard within a strict three-day timeframe. First, speak with Sven in the castle to learn about Allard's residence, then visit Ser Patrick at night to create a distraction. Search Allard's estate to discover the Murder Report behind a painting. Next, speak with Captain Brant at the Stardrop Inn to track down the second document regarding bribery.
Securing Support and Confronting Allard
After gathering both reports, return to Captain Brant at the tavern to request his official assistance. Requesting Brant's aid ensures that he will help cover your escape later, keeping the guards from surrounding you. Deliver the gathered evidence to Wilhelmina in her chambers and agree to support her plan. Assist her during the confrontation, then quickly leap from the balcony to escape the immediate danger.
Quest Completion and Rewards
After escaping the area, rest at an inn or pass the time on a bench for a full day until the situation cools down. Return to the Rose Chateau Bordelrie to meet with Wilhelmina one final time. Completing the quest grants 8,500 Gold, a Ring of Benevolence, and unlocks a special romance scene with Wilhelmina.
