This quest is an introduction to timed quests in Dragon’s Dogma 2, so you should act on it fast if you want things to end well.
You can complete most of the quests in Dragon’s Dogma 2 on your own timetable. Whether you start them immediately or get back to them hours later, nothing will change. However, a few quests are time-sensitive, and bad things can happen if you don’t complete them before time runs out.
Time-sensitive quests are rare overall, but Dragon’s Dogma 2 makes sure you know about them early on by including one such quest in the first settlement you come across. As soon as you get your first Pawn and start the main quest “In Dragon’s Wake,” be prepared for this quest to trigger as you try to leave Borderwatch Outpost by the south exit. How to Start Ordeals of a New Recruit
As you approach the southern gate of Borderwatch Outpost, at least during the day, you should overhear a man named Phill discussing a patrol with a fellow soldier.
