The player in Dragon’s Dogma 2 fights a band of goblins.

After the conversation ends, simply follow Justinn along the path, keeping an eye out for your firstchestand a few resource pickups on the way. The first chest is almost immediately on your left as you start along the path.

Along the path are two separate trios ofGoblinswho must be defeated. These are your first proper fights inDragon’s Dogma 2, so spend a little time getting used to blocks, dodges, and your different attack types. The goblins are fairly quick, and like to jump at you from a distance, so try to keep all of them in view at once. Each has low health though, so focus them one at a time to quickly tear them down.

Feel free to explore the outpost for chests and side quests. Once you’re ready, speak toWarrickat theBorderwatch Loungeinn, where you can rest for free until the next morning, completing the Tale’s Beginning quest.
