How to learn Elvish in Dragon’s Dogma 2

What did you say?

At one point in your Dragon’s Dogma 2 playthrough, you’re likely to come across Sacred Arbor, an Elvish village deep in the forest. But you won’t understand a single word coming from the Elves, since you need to first learn their language.

Sacred Arbor and Elves play a major role in certain side quests in Dragon’s Dogma 2. You’ll visit the town if you’re helping Glyndwr in the Trial of Archery side quest, as an example. But if you want to shop wares and complete other side quests in Sacred Arbor, understanding Elvish will be pretty pivotal.

How to learn Elvish language in Dragon’s Dogma 2

So far, we’ve yet to discover a way to learn Elvish as Arisen in the game. There is a way to understand it, though, if you have a Pawn with Woodland Wordsmith Specialization. Unfortunately for players, we don’t currently know how to obtain the Specialization yet, but there are plenty of other players’ Pawns who already have it under their belt.

To understand Elvish in Dragon’s Dogma 2, visit the main Rift Stone in Vernworth and browse for a Pawn with Woodland Wordsmith Specialization. Once you recruit one, you can journey forward toward Sacred Arbor.

Sacred Arbor is located deep in the Malachite Forest, which is hard to navigate through at first. It’s dense and full of perilous enemies, like Chimeras and Orgs. Once you reach the Malachite Forest, simply follow the path towards northwest part of the area and you will eventually reach the location.

The Elvish village is also a part of Glyndwr’s storyline, which eventually will allow you to discover the Archer Maister. The side quest is called Trial of Archery, and you can start the questline by speaking to Glyndwr in the center of Vernworth’s marketplace.
