“The Story of a Beggar” is a Dragon dogma 2 side quest you can pick up shortly after arriving in Vernworth, one of the main hubs.
During the day you will see a beggar named Albert standing by the fountain and telling whimsical stories and tales. As you walk by, a guy named Benton will wonder how the beggar makes his money. That obligation obviously lies with you.
You may be tempted to stay and watch the beggar all day, but you don’t have to worry about that, you just have to come back at the right time. Here is how to complete “A Beggar’s Tale”. in Dragon dogma 2 And invent how the beggar makes money.

Carry out your other business during the day around Vernworth until the sun sets and then return to the fountain. Eventually Albert the beggar will leave his post and walk away. This is the time when you should follow him. Timing is the key word here. If you’re late, he’s already left.
He goes into the slums and visits Walters Tavern. Stay with him as he will eventually leave and go to his home in the city Vernworth Community District. (This is around the corner from the house you can buy from Mildred in the ‘A Place To Call Home’ quest.)

When he enters his house, wait outside for him to emerge in a different, much fancier outfit. As soon as he leaves, go to his house and pick up his clothes Beggar’s garb. With the clothes in hand, two quest markers should appear on your map. One leads to a house in the Noble Quarter, while the other is back at Walter’s Tavern.

Go back to Walter’s Tavern and you will find Celina, Albert’s wife. You have the option to give her the beggar’s robe, but that’s not necessary yet. You know Albert is up to no good, but you don’t know exactly what.
Go to the marker in the Noble Quarter and you will find Albert with a woman named Hilda, who turns out to be Albert’s mistress.

Now the decision is yours as you have three options. You can return the beggar’s robe to Albert and let him continue as he is. You can give it to Celina so she learns about her husband’s infidelity and the lies he spreads while living a secret second life. Or you can give it to Hilda, the mistress. Here are the results of each option:
- If you return the beggar’s robe to Alberthe will continue living his double life and reward you with 5,000 gold and 900 XP.
- If you give the beggar’s robe to Celina, you have to wait until the next morning and then go back to Albert’s house in the Common Quarter. There will be a guard outside who reveals that Celina killed Albert and then committed suicide. You receive 3,000 gold, one Noonbloom and 900 XP.
- If you give the beggar’s robe to Hilda, you must wait until the next morning and then return to her house in the Noble Quarter. She rewards you with three Onyx Stones and 900 XP.
