To find a fix for the Arborheart in Dragon’s Dogma 2, complete the Out of the Forest, Into the Forge quest and collect Scalecinder.
Despite being a relatively easy quest in Dragon’s Dogma 2, Out of the Forest, Into the Forge tests your patience since it requires a lot of traveling if you aren’t using Ferrystones or have portcrystals placed at Sacred Arbor and Bakbattahl.
Once you have saved Glyndwr’s sister, Doireann, you will find out that she is responsible for taking care of the Arborheart, the tree that is sacred to the elves of Sacred Arbor. Doireann will ask for your help in restoring the tree to its glory, starting The Ailing Arborheart quest.
From Sara, the blacksmith in Bakbattahl, you will find out that the Dwarf, Brokkr, who can give you Scalecinder for The Ailing Arborheart, loves an elven dish by the name of Nutriabh. Now you need to bring that dish to Brokkr’s Smithy. This will start Out of the Forest, Into the Forge quest in Dragon’s Dogma 2.
As the first step, make your way back to Sacred Arbor. If you don’t remember where it is, check out the map below.
Talk to Doireann, and she will tell you that she can make Nutriabh for you, but it is a disgusting dish and, as such, requires some ingredients people won’t normally consider using. You will have to find rotten apples and fish for her if you want her to make Nutriabh.How to gather ingredients for Nutriabh
You can purchase both of these from different areas. For the apple, you can visit the vendor at the Border Watch Outpost and purchase one for 100 Gold. However, to buy the Shorefish, you can go to Harve Village in Dragon’s Dogma 2 and buy this item for 50 Gold each.
