The adventure in Dragon's Dogma 2 begins on the Volcanic Island with tutorial quests at the Excavation Site but quickly moves to Vermund, where the bulk of the initial quests unfold. Here's a breakdown of Vermund's main quests in chronological order:

1. Tale's Beginning: Start your journey by accompanying Justinn to the Borderwatch Outpost. As this quest simply completes as you begin the game, we do not have a guide. Instead, we skip ahead to In Dragon's Wake in our guide series, which is technically the second quest in your journey.
2. In Dragon's Wake: This quest leads you to the central city, Vernworth.
3. Seat of the Sovran: Engage in political and strategic discussions within Vernworth.
4. Monster Culling: A quest focused on reducing the monster threats around the city.
5. Disa’s Plot: Uncover a conspiracy that threatens the stability of the region.
6. The Caged Magistrate: Rescue a key figure from wrongful imprisonment.
7. The Stolen Throne: Address the usurpation threats against the local ruler.
8. An Unsettling Encounter: Face unexpected foes in a narrative twist.
9. Feast of Deception: Navigate through a deceptive banquet filled with intrigue.

Captain Brant at The Stardrop Inn is the primary quest giver in Vermund. He often presents multiple quests simultaneously, allowing you to choose the order based on your preference.

Whilst completing the 5 evacuation missions in the Unmoored World - Civil Unrest, Shepherd of the Pawns, The Importance of Aiding Ernesto, Wandering Roots, and The Regentkin's Resolve - you should complete the sidequests in those areas. Ensure you have completed all sidequests before completing the evacuation mission for that area, as you will not be able to return to do those quests later.
