In Dragon's Dogma 2 Tolled to Rest is a side quest where you will need to escort Oscar to the cenotaph so he can honor the deceased. In doing so, you can find the grimoire “Death of a Nation” and get the key from the ancient battlefield, which opens the secret door in the catacombs.
In this guide, we will tell you how to start and complete the quest, as well as what to do if Oscar goes missing. In addition, you will find out where you can find the second grimoire if you have already taken the first one.
Walkthrough of the quest “Tolled to Rest” in Dragon's Dogma 2
How to start a task
To do this, you need to go to the entrance to the Ancient Battlefield, located north of Border Town. You can get here by one of two routes to choose from (northern or southern). We recommend choosing the second one, as it is safer, although longer. Both are shown on the map below.
Arriving at the marked point, you will find a male magician fighting off harpies and goblins. Quickly deal with the monsters so that they do not have time to kill Oscar, and then talk to him (if he did not automatically start a conversation with you). Having seen your strength, the traveler will ask you to accompany him to the cenotaph in the ruins - agree to help him to start the mission.
Oscar is missing: what to do
Some players complain that the quest giver simply does not appear in the specified place or disappears when accompanied during a long rest, for example, in a camp. If you encounter a similar error, the first thing to do is try restarting the game, loading your last save and going back to where you first met Oscar.
It is possible that this character died from a monster attack. If there is no corpse nearby, then go to Vermund Funeral Home, located in the capital, and go down to the morgue. Find Oscar's case here and resurrect him using the Awakening Stone.
How to accompany Oscar
Start following the man, dealing with all the monsters along the way. You can spend the night by the fire if you don’t want to wander around the ruins in the dark. Climb the path to the top, and then enter the castle ruins through the open gate on the right side.
If you've been here before and opened the grated door on the right, an NPC will immediately run through it. Otherwise, he will turn left, go up the stairs, walk along the roof of the fortress, and then go down again (the path is quite straight forward, so we won’t show it here).
In the new room, take Oscar to the left and go up the stairs twice, and before the third set of steps, turn into the room on the right. Here you will find a book on a pedestal (under no circumstances take it) and a bell. Chat with the man again, and then wait until he rings the bell.
Then the conversation with Oscar will begin again. He will thank you and the quest will end. As a reward, you will receive 3000 experience points, 9 thousand gold and a key from the ancient battlefield. Now you can take it with peace of mind Grimoire "Death of a Nation", which you will need to complete the tasks “Ordered to Rest”, “Respect for the Sorcerer” and “Whirlpool of Magic”. Let's add that in this room in the chest you can also find a Homemade key to the treasury.
How to find a missing grimoire
If you have already visited this place and took the grimoire, or managed to take it before Oscar rang the bell, then you will have a new task related to finding the lost magic volume. If it is still in your inventory, then just chat with the man and give him the book.
But Oscar sometimes refuses to talk to the Risen. In this case, we advise you to restart the game, load last save and try chatting with the NPC again - with a high probability he will accept the book.
If you sold or lost the grimoire, it may appear for sale in Ibrahim's Hardware Shop, located in Border Town. By the way, it makes no sense to fake a book in this case, since Oscar will easily reveal the deception.
You can also try to find the second "Death of a Nation". To do this, enter the Waterfall Cave, located northeast of the Border Outpost. Initially, the passage into it is blocked by the corpse of the griffin, from which you fall at the beginning of the game. Once inside, go up to the second floor and go to the room shown on the map below. As soon as you open the chest with the book, a lich will immediately attack you.
How to use the Key from the Ancient Battlefield
Fortunately, you won't have to go far. Immediately after completing the quest and receiving "Death of a Nation", turn around and leave the room, then turn left and go down the first set of steps. Next, immediately turn right, break the boxes near the door and open it with the key you received.
Inside the secret room you will find two chests in which are hidden: 2200 gold, a translation stone and Hell's Blade - a glaive designed for Mystical spearman. It can be considered the best weapon for this class in the first half of the game, if you have not managed to get the Dead Ringer before.
