Dragon's Dogma 2 (DD2)

Should You Let Bermudo Go?

Add to Watchlist

Dragon

This is a guide on whether you should let Bermudo go or not during the Arisen's Shadow quest in Dragon's Dogma 2 (DD2). Find out if you should let Bermudo go, as well as the outcomes of each choice!

Should You Let Bermudo Go?

Do Not Let Bermudo Go for the Border Entry Permit

Dragon

In the side quest Arisen's Shadow, you'll catch a hooded figure named Bermudo, who is out to assassinate you. You can either accept his gold or refuse it.

Refusing his gold triggers a fight, after which Captain Brant takes Bermudo into custody and interrogates him. This choice requires waiting 3 days to complete the quest but gives a better Border Entry Permit for future access to Battahl during Nation of the Lambent Flame main quest.

Accept or Refuse Outcomes

Choice Result Gold Border Entry Permit
Accept his Gold You let Bermudo go and complete the quest immediately. 5000 Gold Beastren Border Entry Permit; human characters must buy a Beastren Mask for 8,700 Gold to enter Battahl.
Refuse his Gold You fight Bermudo; Captain Brant takes him into custody. Quest completes after 3 days. 4000 Gold Border Entry Permit usable by any race to cross into Battahl.

What Happens if You Kill Bermudo?

Bermudo can be accidentally killed if you deal too much damage before Brant intervenes. If this happens, you must revive him using a Wakestone in order to continue the quest.

If you leave Vernworth to search for Wakestone Shards and Bermudo’s body disappears, you can still revive him by locating his body at the Morgue.

Idk if I just killed him too quickly or if it was supposed to happen this way, but when I refused his offer and killed him after he attacked me, the quest was only able to conclude with Brant capturing him and bringing him in for questioning after I revived Bermudo with a wakestone (Brant immediately appeared and arrested him after I revived the guy). So at least in my case, not accepting his offer resulted in a lower reward AND costing me an early game wakestone. Definitely accept his offer lol
