Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen guide locates Amos in The Truant Soldier
This guide explains how to locate Amos during The Truant Soldier quest in Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen. After gaining access to the Mountain Stronghold's eastern exit, players travel northeast, use a Climbing Hook to cross a cavern, and fight off Nekkon to save him. Returning to the Commission's cave camp then rewards the player.
In Dark Arisen's new Norgan region, The Truant Soldier has players search for Amos after he disappears in a snowstorm that limits visibility. The Commission opens the Mountain Stronghold's eastern route, yet its supplies are also missing, stolen by a Snowfoot.
Starting from the east elevator, the path goes northeast. A Climbing Hook is needed unless the equipped Vocation is nimble enough. After crossing a small cavern and following stairs around a tower, players defeat Nekkon to save Amos; he returns alone, and the Commission cave camp grants rewards.
This guide may help players avoid losing Amos to a time-sensitive quest, lowering frustration and making the expansion's new region easier to navigate. It could also strengthen community knowledge-sharing around Dragon's Dogma 2, as players compare routes, required tools, and combat tactics. Developers may see clearer guides support retention and positive word-of-mouth, though any broader cultural impact likely remains within engaged action-RPG audiences.
