Where is Sacred Arbor in Dragon’s Dogma 2?
Sacred Arbor is located to the northwest of Vernworth. |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Capcom.
As you can see from the map image above, Sacred Arbor is located in thenorthwestern regionof Vermund, which can be accessed via the main western road out of Vernworth.
As the elves are fairly secretive, you cannot take an Oxcart to Sacred Arbor, instead you’ll need to travel on foot.
Be wary, as the journey to the settlement is usually flocked with enemies. We encountered Ogres, Minotaurs and a plethora of Wolves, Goblins and Hobgoblins on the way. As such, make sure you have a full party (you can hire Pawns via anyRiftsone) and have a camping kit with you so you can take stops to rest along the way.
The easiest way to get to the elven village is to follow the’Gift of the Bow’and subsequent’A Trial of Archery’quest. During which, the Elf, Glyndwr will offer to lead you to Sacred Arbor.

Gift of the Bow quest
Glyndwr is an Elf that usually hangs around outside of theblacksmith in the Merchant Quarterof Vernworth. Upon speaking to him he will ask you for a human-made bow.
Gift him one of yours or purchase one directly from the blacksmith and give him one of those, (don’t worry too much about cost, you’ll receive 8,500 gold at the end of this quest). He will then ask you to meet him for a spot of archery training within the Moutain Ruins area.
Travel to the specified location and shoot at the hanging targets from the bridge.Make sure you have theArcher vocationactive. You can switch out yourvocationat any Inn or Vocation Guild.
A Trial of Archery quest
Return to the blacksmith within Vernworth to speak to Glyndwr once again. He will inform you that he’s ready for his archery trial but would like you to join him.
Meet him at the specified coordinates (northwest of Trevo Mine) and he will lead you into Sacred Arbor as well as vouch for you among the other elves. Upon speaking with his father, you will receive the third quest in the area which is worth doing as you’ll receive a portablePortcrystalas a reward.
You will now be able to travel freely to Sared Arbor. However, if you wish to speak to the Elves you’ll need to hire a Pawn with the Woodland Wordsmith Specialization.
How to get the Woodland Wordsmith Specialization
Although you’ll be able to access dialogue options with elves, you won’t be able to understand them properly until you have a Pawn in your party with the Woodland Wordsmith Specialization.
Once affinity is raised, NPCs will blush during dialogue. |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Capcom.
The easiest way to get a Woodland Wordsmith Tome is to raise affinity with one of the Elves in Sacred Arbor until they gift you one. See our guide toromance options in Dragon’s Dogma 2for more information on raising affinity with NPCs but essentially, you can see what items they like to be gifted through theNPC Logbook(via the main Pause menu and ‘History’ option).
Gifting items that NPCs like will gradually raise your affinity with them. You’ll know if you’ve reached high affinity with someone if they blush when you speak to them.
That rounds off our guide to getting to the Elf Village (Sacred Arbor) in Dragon’s Dogma 2. For more Dragon’s Dogma 2tips and tricks, see our guides for making the perfectSorcerer build,Mystic Spearhand build,Fighter buildand more.
