Dragon's Dogma 2, the action RPG from Capcom, offers players a wide range of quests and characters to interact with, including the enigmatic Wilhelmina, who can become a potential romantic interest for the Arisen.
To begin your "courtship" with her, players must undertake Wilhelmina's quest, "Every Rose Has Its Thorn." This detailed guide will assist you in completing the quest and unlocking the romance storyline in Dragon's Dogma 2.
How to start the Every Rose Has Its Thorn quest?
Players must first complete two main story quests involving Wilhelmina in Dragon's Dogma 2: "The Stolen Throne" and "An Unsettling Encounter." before they can start the "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" quest. These quests introduce the Arisen to the proprietor of the Rose Chateau Bordelrie in Vernworth and lay the groundwork for a potential romance.
Once the prerequisites are fulfilled, rest at an inn or house until the following day. Then, head to the Rose Chateau Bordelrie during the night and seek out Wilhelmina. Upon arrival, an attendant named Rolf will intercept the Arisen, indicating that Wilhelmina is currently occupied with another patron.
Undeterred, attempt to access Wilhelmina's room through the double doors and interact with the painting on the right wall to peer into the adjacent room. This action triggers a cutscene and initiates the "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" quest.
Gathering Evidence for Wilhelmina
After initiating the quest, Wilhelmina tasks the Arisen with gathering evidence against Allard within three in-game days. To proceed, visit Sven, the queen regent's son, in his room at Vernworth Castle. Although Sven cannot directly assist, he suggests seeking out Patrick, another nobleman, under the cover of night.
Find Patrick's residence near the Bordelrie and engage him in conversation after dark. Patrick will volunteer to distract Allard, affording the Arisen an opportunity to investigate Allard's residence for incriminating evidence. Enter the neighboring house and examine the painting on the upper floor to uncover the vital murder report.
Killing Allard
Once you have collected all the evidence, return to Wilhelmina and provide her with the murder report.
Wilhelmina will then inquire whether the Arisen is willing to aid in Allard's demise. To advance the romance subplot, agree to offer further assistance. Wilhelmina will disguise herself and direct the Arisen to subdue Allard in the adjacent room.
Press the grab button (R2/RT) to restrain him, prompting a cutscene in which Wilhelmina divulges her intentions and exacts her vengeance.
The Final Encounter
After accomplishing the task, Wilhelmina suggests parting ways and fleeing in separate directions to avoid the alerted guards. Exit through the broken balcony railing and swiftly make your way to Merchant Square. Seek refuge in the inn, avoiding confrontation if possible, and await the break of dawn.
Once the commotion has subsided, revisit Wilhelmina's room at the Bordelrie. This visit will initiate the culmination of the quest and the eagerly anticipated romantic encounter.
