Dragon’s Dogma 2 Readvent of Calamity
- Fight the infected dragon at Melve village.

- Head to Harve village and defeat the Saurians before meeting Ulrika.

The Readvent of Calamity quest in Dragon’s Dogma 2 can be tricky to finish, especially since the game doesn’t guide you through some segments. You’ll be hopping between Harve and Melve for a bit, helping the villages’ townsfolk with Saurians, a dragon, and finding where Ulrika is. Here’s how you can finish the quest without accidental detours.
Readvent of Calamity quest walkthrough in Dragon’s Dogma 2
Finish one of Captain Brant’s quests in Vernworth and head back to the village of Melve before the Feast of Deception quest. Pick one among Monster Culling, Disa’s Plot, and The Caged Magistrate. You’ll find it being sieged by a diseased dragon in Dragon’s Dogma 2. This is where the Readvent of Calamity quest begins. You can travel to Melve from Vernworth via an ox cart. There’s a good chance you’re here to deliver a letter that an NPC offered you near the ox cart in Vernworth. You’ll have to wait because there’s a dragon to attend to.
It’s easier said than done but you have to defeat the infected dragon to proceed. While you only need to weaken it and force it to flee, you can also use the village’s massive crossbow tower to kill it, giving you some Wyrmslife Crystals. Plenty of warriors will already be fighting the beast so it won’t be difficult to aim at its blisters or bubbles for maximum damage. Just avoid its body slam and fire breath attacks. We recommend bringing a Wakestone to revive NPCs who may be essential to future quests like Norbert and Ian for the Brothers Brave and Timid side quest.
After this fight, you’ll get a cutscene that involves Ulrika, Lennart, and Sigurd. They discuss rebuilding efforts and buffing up the town’s defenses to tackle future threats. This is when you can find Sigurd, a hooded man with a spear, who can teach you the Mystic Spearhand vocation. You’ll then get a vague ‘visit Melve from time to time’ objective.
What to do after the ‘visit Melve from time to time’ message
Wait for a day and return to Melve. You can do this quickly by resting at a bench, an inn, or a campsite. Once you’re ready, head to the large house at the bottom left of the village to speak with Ulrika. You’ll spot a heated exchange between her and a government official named Martin at Ulrika’s house. He blames her for the dragon attacks, which makes little sense. She will flee the village the next day after you rest in a cutscene. Ulrika does this to figure out the real reason behind these attacks.
Where is Ulrika in Dragon’s Dogma 2
The game isn’t very clear about where she goes to. Ulrika flees to Harve village. If you’ve already completed the Monster Culling quest for Captain Brant, you can return to Harve Village to pursue the Scaly Invaders quest. This tasks you with clearing the area of Saurians once again. If you’re at a high level, they won’t pose much of a challenge. You’ll hear the village chief spew some absurdities at the local Beastren folk as he blames them for the Saurian attacks.
Finish Brant’s Monster Culling quest before heading to Melve for the dragon
This will let you hop directly to the Scaly Invaders quest after beating the dragon. You can take down two birds with one stone by finishing Scaly Invaders and finding Ulrika at the same time later on.
Finish Trouble On The Cape before Readvent of Calamity in Dragon’s Dogma 2
Defeat the Saurian onslaught and you’ll spot Ulrika at the main crossroad. Before you can return to Melve and inform Lennart, there’s another quest that needs your attention. There’s a man stuck in Stormwind Cave and she needs your help to beat the Saurians and bring Zoran back. It’s a short quest called Trouble On The Cape. On finishing this, the village chief Jonas realizes his folly and gives his title to Ulrika. This nets you 6500 Gold and a Ferrystone. It’s a reward that makes the entire Readvent of Calamity questline worth the effort.
Speak to her and then return to Melve to inform Lennart of Ulrika’s wellbeing. He’s usually walking about at the entrance of Melve Village. If not, you can find him in Ulrika’s old house to the bottom left of the village. An oxcart will help you get there swiftly from Vernworth. Report back and you’ll get 4500 Gold and a Ring of Grit. This completes the quest. It’ll also help you romance Ulrika later on.
How not to fail the Readvent of Calamity quest in Dragon’s Dogma 2
Finishing the coronation quest (Feast of Deception) before finishing Readvent of Calamity will result in you failing the latter. So be sure to finish it up first. Captain Brant also warns you to take care of loose ends before the coronation so listen to his advice.
After you find Ulrika in Harve village, don’t delay heading back to Lennart and reporting on your findings. This may also result in you failing the quest. Some players also report breaking the quest by throwing the government official Martin off a cliff. So hold your temper and just play along for now. After all, this quest is essential to a potential Ulrika romance.
