- Starting Location: Agamen Volcanic Island > Volcanic Island Camp
- Quest Giver: Lamond

- Reward: 980 XP, 500 G, Rotten Soft-Boiled Egg, Warfarer Vocation, Grandmaster’s Path tome (Warfarer Maister’s Teaching)
- Quest Description: You encountered Lamond, a tippled patron of the hot springs. But is that all he is? There’s a curious air about him that hints at something more – unless that’s just the sulfur?
Objectives:
- Give Lamond what he seeks
Starting Location: The Sotted Sage
This quest is started in Agamen Volcanic Island (3rd main region furthest south on map) > Volcanic Island Camp > Geyser Hamlet. To get to this area, follow the path south in Battahl (desert region), then go through Drabnir’s Grotto which connects to the Volcanic Island region.
Inside Volcanic Island Camp go up the wooden ramps and climb the ladder to find Lamond. He will automatically talk to you when you approach the hot spring bath. After the interaction you will receive the quest regardless of the choice you made.
Give Lamond what he seeks (3 Newt Liqueur)
Lamond is seeking alcohol, specifically Newt Liqueur. You need to bring him three of them to complete the quest (if you gave him one during the first interaction that counts too). You can rarely find them through exploration or by combining Saurian Tail and Fruit Wine, but the easiest way to obtain three at once is by purchasing them for a total of 15,000 Gold from Higgs’s Tavern Stand located in Bakbattahl.
You must complete a little extra step before you can buy them. Outside Higgs’s Tavern, to the left of the entrance, is a small fenced area and two bags. You first want to put on a Beastren Mask if you are human, because the shop only lets in Beastren. If you haven’t obtained a mask already, they can be purchased at Ibrahim’s Scrap Shop at the Checkpoint Rest Town. While wearing the mask pick up one of the bags with R2/RT and drop it into the fenced area.
If you are wearing the mask, you will be immediately taken inside the shop. If you weren’t, an NPC will call for help because he’s upset you are messing with his stuff. Defeat the enemies who come.
Then go UPSTAIRS and through the wooden door. This door was locked until now. Interact with the merchant behind the door upstairs and buy 3 Newt Liqueur from him (not the downstairs vendor).
If you can’t interact with him, rest at a bench and come back. Due to having triggered combat it sometimes blocks the interaction prompt but resting fixes it.
After buying the 3 items, you may or may not get another guard coming in who will fight you. If he comes simply defeat him, if not you can leave in peace.
Make your way back to Lamond where the quest started and turn in the Newt Liqueur to complete the quest. As a reward he will give you the Warfarer vocation, which is the “all-in-one” vocation that lets you use all weapons and unlocked skills from other vocations. Watch out that Lamond also gives you the item “Grandmaster’s Path” item (check right side of screen after giving him 3rd liqueur). If not, talk to him again, this is the Warfarer’s Master Teaching.
This finishes The Sotted Sage side quest in Dragon’s Dogma 2.
