The Saint of the Slums quest in Dragon’s Dogma 2 has you investigating a shifty nurse named Elena. This particular adventure has a lot of steps and takes you all over the place.
How to start Saint of the Slums in Dragon’s Dogma 2
To start this quest you need to have completed two of the other quests located near The Gracious Hand in the Slums of Vernworth. Once I had completed The Gift of Giving and The Heel of History, I was able to start Saint of the Slums. You’ll know the quest has activated once you see Abbess Elena arguing with a couple outside The Gracious Hand.

Collect three Miasmite
The first step of Saint of the Slums in Dragon’s Dogma 2 will trigger when talking to Elena. She’ll ask you to go and collect three Miasmite. Luckily this material isn’t so hard to collect. All you need to do is venture out into the woods at night and attack the wispy ghosts you see along the way. They look like big pale clouds and they’re pretty hard to miss. Make sure to collect the resource they drop as this is Miasmite.
Take a Tour of The Gracious Hand
Take the Miasmite back to Elena and she’ll take you on a tour of The Gracious Hand. It’s only a small building so it doesn’t take long. Then at the end of the tour, you’ll be introduced to Lubomir who will kickstart the real point of this quest. He’ll ask you to investigate Elena as something suspicious is going on.
After this conversation, leave the building, and a conversation with Lottie will begin. After that return to Lubomir and he’ll tell you to investigate the basement. He specifically wants you to go to the basement sickroom which was only open at night for me.
Pass time until the night and head to The Gracious Hand, going left at the entrance to access the basement. Then take the door on the right and continue through to reach the sick room. Head behind the curtain and take both the Unlabeled Medicine on the shelf as well as the Records of Treatment.
A trip to the Checkpoint Rest Town
Take the evidence back to Lubomir and he’ll then ask you to speak to two former patients of Elena and a doctor residing in the Checkpoint Rest Town to the west. I found both patients at Walter’s Tavern in the Slums at night.
Speak to all the patrons here and you should find Bruno who will tell you about Elena meeting with a strange man. Go and eavesdrop on this meeting to gain crucial evidence about her misdeeds.
After that’s done we’ve got the long trek to Radcliff ahead of us which can be the most awkward part of Saint of the Slums. Luckily you can fast travel by taking the Oxcart at the northwest end of the city to take you straight there.
And once you’re there, go and find Radcliff who should be marked on your map thanks to the quest’s waypoint. Give him the Unlabeled Medicine and after a while, he’ll have analyzed it for you and discovered how dangerous it is.
Apprehend Elena
After witnessing the meeting and having the medicine analyzed, you have everything you need to catch Elena. This part of the quest is oddly cryptic because there are no clues as to what to do next. However, the solution is to go up to Elena and grab her. This will automatically trigger a scene where she is arrested and you are instantly given your reward.
Saint of the Slums quest outcomes
There are a couple of outcomes for the Saint of the Slums quest in Dragon’s Dogma 2: the good ending and the bad ending. These outcomes take place after you have completed the quest. Let’s go over each outcome and you can pick which you prefer.
Good ending
The good ending to the Saint of the Slums quest involves saving Lubomir from dying. After Lady Elena is arrested, head back into the basement and have a quick conversation with Lubomir about the outcome of the investigation. Next, visit Radcliffe again, acquire medicine, and return to Lubomir to cure him of his illness.
Following these steps will also cause Radcliffe to stay with the Gracious Hand to take care of the patients. This is the ending of the Saint of the Slums quest that I recommend choosing.
Bad ending
The bad ending to the Saint of the Slums quest involves letting Lubomir die. If you end up not visiting Lubomir shortly after completing the quest, then he will pass away from his illness. Additionally, Lubomir will not be available at the morgue, meaning players won’t be able to use a Wakestone and revive him.
If you choose this outcome, then Radcliffe will not stay with the Gracious Hand and won’t provide help for the patients who need it. This is essentially the evil outcome and I personally don’t find it the best route to take.
Saint of the Slums quest rewards
The rewards for completing the Saint of the Slums quest include experience points and gold. You will earn 1600 XP and 11,000 Gold for your efforts, making the quest well worth taking on. It’s very important that the end of the quest results in Lady Elena getting arrested in order to claim the rewards in full.
Saint of the Slums is likely to be one of your first side quests that takes you so far around the world in Dragon’s Dogma 2. But before you tackle any other quests like this, it’d be a good idea to farm some Ferrystones to help make your upcoming journeys easier.
