If you’re hoping to complete the Heel of History quest in Dragon’s Dogma 2, you’ll need to search for a small lad by the name of Malcolm. However, he’s missing in action, and it’s up to you to track him down and discover where he may have gone.
How to Find Malcolm in Dragon’s Dogma 2
No matter if you’ve stumbled into the Slums or you’ve started The Caged Magistrate questline, you’ll need to head toward the Gracious Hand, located in the Common Quarter in Dragon’s Dogma 2. You’ll find Kendrick standing outside of the Gracious Hand building in Priestly Garb requesting a donation of Food and Coin. Once you have done this, he’ll ask you to start the search for a missing child by the name of Malcolm. You’ll be instructed to speak to the children to see if they know his location. Two children can easily be found outside, and the third is within the Gracious Hand building.
It seems that Malcolm has a knack for exploration and has gotten himself lost within the rubble of the Gracious Hand Vault — an area that isn’t shown on the map until you complete this portion of the quest. After speaking with all of the children, speak with Kendrick once again to relay the information you have found and get access to the Gracious Hand Vault, conveniently located just next to the main building.
You’ll want to head down the stairs of the Vault to start your search for Malcolm, who is located within the walls of this particular place. If you wait too long to do this quest, you may not be able to find him alive, so prioritize this quest as quickly as possible. Head downstairs and take a quick right, where you’ll encounter a chasm that you’ll need to jump over.
Once you come to this Chasm, start sprinting and make a proper leap across it. Head to the left after crossing it and head into the next set of rooms available to you. If you don’t make the gap, don’t worry — you can always climb back up and give it another try. It may take a few jumps to nail it just right. Continue forward and you’ll soon reach Malcolm.
If you’ve done this quest quickly enough, you’ll find the boy unharmed and ready to divulge some information that is pertinent to another quest you may be working on, The Caged Magistrate as mentioned above. He’ll lead you into a room full of books, so use this information as you will. You’ve now completed this quest, and the next portion of the adventure begins.
Make sure that you’re ready for anything that Dragon’s Dogma 2 can throw your way, and find out where you’ll need to search in Allard’s Chambers to complete another mainline story quest.
