An Unsettling Encounter is a main quest in Dragon's Dogma 2 that unfolds in Vernworth, the capital city of Vermund. This quest involves stealth and strategy as you uncover pivotal secrets in the kingdom.

To initiate An Unsettling Encounter, you must first complete several quests for Captain Brant. After these prerequisites, the quest begins when you engage Captain Brant at The Stardrop Inn in Vernworth about rumors regarding Allard. This interaction typically occurs at night, so you may need to rest at the inn until nightfall to meet him.
