\u201cThe Phantom Oxcart\u201d<\/strong> is a Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2<\/em><\/a> side quest you\u2019ll pick up after you\u2019ve helped Brant out<\/a> and made your way to Battahl<\/a>. But where exactly to pick the \u201cPhantom Oxcart\u201d quest up \u2014 and what to do once you have it \u2014 can be a bit of a mystery.<\/p>\n

In this Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2<\/em> guide, we\u2019ll walk you through how to start \u201cThe Phantom Oxcart\u201d<\/strong> side quest and where to find the Phantom Oxcart<\/strong> itself. We\u2019ll also cover the various choices in the quest, including if you should turn Navil in and if you should follow the Phantom Oxcart or disguise yourself as a pawn.<\/p>\n

How to start \u2018The Phantom Oxcart\u2019 quest in Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Like many quests in Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2<\/em>, you\u2019ll get \u201cThe Phantom Oxcart\u201d by eavesdropping on a conversation between two NPCs.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve made your way to Bakbattahl <\/strong>\u2014 the capital of Battahl \u2014 fast travel<\/a> back to Vernworth<\/strong>. If you walk by the western gate oxcart<\/strong> at night<\/strong>, you\u2019ll eventually overhear a conversation between Guerrero and Dagras, which will automatically give you the quest. They\u2019ll be talking about a mysterious, Phantom Oxcart (hey, that\u2019s the name of the quest!) that only rides around at night.<\/p>\n

If the conversation isn\u2019t triggering for you, try talking to them directly. If that isn\u2019t working either, double check that you\u2019ve finished the \u201cNation of the Lambent Flame<\/strong>\u201d quest in Bakbattahl, and go complete it if you haven\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Where to find the Phantom Oxcart in Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2 <\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

At night, follow the quest marker to the crossroads north of Vernworth<\/strong>. You\u2019ll find a mysterious oxcart bathed in blue light. The driver should be in the middle of a conversation with a soldier named Navil <\/strong>when you arrive.<\/p>\n

Wait off to the side until the cart drives away. Then walk up behind Navil. When you get close enough, he\u2019ll start to run. Tackle him to the ground with your grab and he\u2019ll tell you everything. Turns out the oxcart is selling pawns as slaves in Bakbattahl.<\/p>\n

\n

Should you bring Navil back to Vernworth in \u2018The Phantom Oxcart\u2019?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Navil<\/p>\n

After he dishes the details, Navil will give you the Merchant\u2019s Document<\/strong> as evidence and then ask you to let him go. You can escort him back to Vernworth and throw him in gaol<\/a> (which the game does for you automatically if you select that option) or let him go in exchange for 5,000 gold.<\/p>\n

This choice doesn\u2019t impact the quest.<\/p>\n

Should you follow the Phantom Oxcart or disguise yourself as a pawn?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

With Navil dealt with, take the Merchant\u2019s Document to Brant<\/strong> at night \u2014 he\u2019ll be hanging out in the bar, same place as he was for quests like \u201cThe Caged Magistrate\u201d and \u201cThe Nameless Village.\u201d Brant will suggest two options for you:<\/p>\n
