Tensions on the Highroad is a side quest in Dragon's Dogma 2 (DD2). Read our guide for a walkthrough about how to start Tensions on the High Road side quest, whether you should side with Raghnall or Simon, as well as the rewards and unlock conditions.

Look for a soldier named Simon, whom you can find near the fountain. He'll approach you as soon as you're near to start the quest.

Tensions on the Highroad begins in Vernworth.
Welcome to Battahl Walkthrough
Simon will ask for your help to escort Augustin's Oxcart located near Checkpoint Rest Town. The oxcart is located northeast of the town near where the path splits north and east.
Eventually, a cutscene starts where Raghnall will stop the oxcart, and you'll have the option to side with Raghnall or side with the soldiers.
We recommend siding with Raghnall since the quest will ultimately play out with both of you working together, and siding with him during the initial fight will have you departing on better terms.
Raghnall will run off with Augustin into Guerco Cavern, and you'll have to chase after him. After you enter a cave, you'll eventually get separated from your pawns after dropping through the floor.
Follow the path ahead to meet up with Raghnall, where you'll need to help him defeat a group of Saurians.
After defeating the Saurains, Raghnall will make camp and explain more about what happened. The escort mission was a setup to sabotage the Arisen. Augustin was supposed to die during the escort mission, with your character taking the blame for it.
After the cutscene, follow Raghnall out of the cave to complete the quest.
We recommend siding with Raghnall since, regardless of your choice, you'll be working with him to escape the Guerco Cavern anyway.
Both choices will have Raghnall reveal that the escort mission was a set up to frame you for Augustin's death, but siding with him ultimately plays out better since he'll have a much better disposition towards you.
