The only major decision during A Candle in the Storm, the quest in Dragon’s Dogma 2, is whether to support or oppose Nadinia’s Proposal.
A Candle in the Storm quest in Dragon’s Dogma 2 is part of Empress Nadinia/Ser Menella’s questline. During the Shadowed Prayers quest, you must uncover the plot to kill Empress Nadinia. Once the assassin has been apprehended, Menella will be sent to the hotspring in Vocalnic Island Camp to recover.
Make your way to Volcanic Island Camp in Dragon’s Dogma 2, and there, you will meet Menella, who asks for your help again in trying to identify the mastermind behind the attack on the Empress.
During your investigation, you will have to make some choices, but don’t worry, as I will explain the impact of those decisions so you aren’t blindsided by your decisions.Get the information from Herman, Coral Snakes Member
The first objective of this quest is to venture to the Bakbattahl jail. There, you will need to pay 5000 Gold to an inmate named Herman to get some information from him. He will mention that the Coral Snakes gave him this job to assassinate Empress Nadinia.
After your conversation with Herman ends, you can return to the Volcanic Island Camp to relay this information to Menella. Use one of the Ferrystones you have acquired to fast travel to the Portcrystal at Volcanic Island Camp.
She will devise a plan for you to inform the Coral Snakes about Empress Nadinia’s location so that you can lure them there and set a trap for them. This way, you can determine the mastermind’s identity behind Empress Nadinia’s assassination plan in Dragon’s Dogma 2.
Furthermore, this also means that you will need to make another visit to the Bakbattahl jail. You can enter this area, turn left, and walk past the first two jail cells on your left side. Talk to the inmate named Ashe, a member of the Coral Snakes, inside the third jail cell.
