Prisoner Lawyer in Dragon's Dogma 2

We tell you how to persuade Valdar to leave the dungeon and find for him “a place with many books.”

Receiving the quest: After completing the quest "The Throne of the Lord", talk to Captain Brant at the Stardrop Inn in Vernworth. He will instruct you to find a prisoner named Valdar, who is needed to evaluate the correctness of your claims to the throne.

Finding Valdar: Find the man behind the counter at the Vernworth Tavern and talk to him to receive the dungeon key and activate the quest "The Prisoner of Law."

Infiltrating the Prison: Get to Wernworth Castle in the north of the city. Infiltrate the dungeon by going down the spiral staircase into a dark corridor and passing the guard's room.

Finding Valdar: Open the nearest cell on the right with the key and talk to the prisoner Valdar. He will not be ready to leave prison until he finds a place where he can quench his thirst for knowledge.

Side quest "On the Outskirts of History": To help Valdar, complete the side quest "On the Outskirts of History", during which you will find a place with many books.

Return to Valdar: After completing the side quest, return to Valdar and tell him about the place with the books. He will agree to leave the prison and you will complete the quest.

Watch out for the guards: When entering the prison, beware of the guards to avoid getting caught and to avoid having to get out of the prison yourself.

Find a place with books

Receiving quest: talk to priest Kendrick in the Slums and donate food and gold to him. He will give you the task "On the outskirts of history."

Finding Malcolm: Interview three children in the village to find out where Malcolm has gone. One of them will be crawling in the ground nearby, the second will be wandering near the cliff, and the third will be sitting in the Gracious Hand.

Collecting Evidence: After talking with the children, collect all the evidence and return to Priest Kendrick.

Search the Vaults of the Gracious Hand: After talking with Kendrick, he will understand where to look for Malcolm. Together with the old man, go down to the Vaults of the Gracious Hand and find Malcolm.

Completion: Malcolm will tell you that he saw "many books" and guide you to the right place. Thus, the side quest “On the outskirts of history” will be completed.

After you talk to Valdar about the place with many books, you need to return to the dungeon using the second passage from the Slums. Climb the mountain path and find a recessed passage with a grate. Use the key to go through the grate.

Talk to Valdar and invite him to visit the Vaults of the Gracious Hand. You need to carefully take him out of the dungeon, bypassing the guards. As soon as you go outside, say goodbye to him and he will go into the archives on his own.

Then return to Captain Brant at the Stardrop Inn and tell him about Valdar. This will complete the "Prisoned Lawman" story quest. If you don't want to wait until evening to talk to Brant, you can take a nap on a bench or in an inn to help the time pass faster.
