A New Godsway quest walkthrough
A New Godsway objectives:
- Deliver the Dulled Godsbane Blade to Ambrosius.
- Slay drakes for 15 Wyrmslife Crystals.
- (Optional) Visit Dragonsbreath Tower.
- Deliver the 15 Wyrmlife Crystals to Ambrosius.
- Speak to Ambrosius after a day passes.
With the Dulled Godsbane Blade in tow, visit Ambrosius in Bakbattahl's Forbidden Magick Research Lab. Head to the Flamebearer Palace and go down the stairs near the entrance to access the lab. Look for the guard stationed by the stairs if you're having trouble finding your way, as the quest marker to locate Ambrosius can be a bit misleading. (Technically, he's located beneath you when you enter the palace.)
After giving the blade to Ambrosius, he reveals that he needs 15 Wyrmslife Crystals, which can be obtained from killing drakes. If you actually have 15 Wyrmslife Crystals at your disposal, you can hand them over, but if you don't, it's time to farm some wannabe dragons.
Drakes can be found in a variety of places, and make for challenging opponents. They tend to drop between 10-15 Wrymslife Crystals upon defeat, but if you have a Thief pawn in your party with the Bump and Lift core skill, you may be able to steal Wyrmslife Crystals while fighting drakes, ending up with a larger overall haul. You should also take note of our guide to identify Dragonsplague, which is a nasty illness that your pawns can catch if they fall in action against drakes a little too often.
The easiest drake in the game is lurking northeast of the Nameless Village and should be a relatively simple kill if you're willing to teleport back to Vernworth or Harve Village and make the trek. Attack the head, the heart, and avoid its breath and claw attacks.
A bit closer to your current location is a drake hanging out in Dragonsbreath Tower, located southwest of Bakbattahl in the Wyrmsblood Forest. The path to the tower is tough and full of enemies, and if you're looking for vengeance, you can even stumble off the beaten path for a round two with the gorgon who harrassed you at the very beginning of the game.
When you do reach the tower, you'll encounter a warrior named Sigurd who will temporarily join your party. This fellow's a Mystic Spearhand, and talking to him after the drake fight will net you the advanced vocation if you don't already have it.
With Sigurd in tow, head to the top of the tower, taking out all the hobgoblins and harpies in your path. The drake awaits on the uppermost floor, and you'll notice that its body is covered in massive boils. Attack the boils until their burst, then smash the exposed heart.
Once you've got the goods, return to Ambrosius. He'll make you wait a day before you can talk to him one more time, finally ending "A New Godsway."
Next quest: The Guardian Gigantus
Finally, you're ready to move onto the next quest in Dragon's Dogma 2! You're either sick of killing dragons by this point or can't get enough. Hopefully it's the latter, since there are more winged reptiles to fight as the game nears its twilight hours.
