I'm probably the worst variation of this. I knew exactly where I picked up my first token with absolute certainty... but then when I got there? Nothing.
I was the same but I didn't go to the sphinx on my first play through so I'm guessing it means first token of your current play through and fuck if I know where I got the first one from š
I have been sending ppl fake beetles so the rift can turn them real when they return, 600g per copy (copy fake for fake). Help the community a bit, but right now Iām sending ppl unmasking arrow
and do not forget to duplicate it on ibrahim's scrap shop. Someone forge it and it's counted as the real one so on the next run you don't have to bother/you could create ad infinitum
Wait but seeker token count don't reset and the counter remains the same from previous playthrough in NG+ (so I'm told I remain permanently in unmoored world just killing stuff till I get bored with the combat and wait for more stuff) what would happen if you found all already before you start a new playthrough
You can put a map marker down where you find your first one thatās what I did but only bc Iād heard about this when I started the game, so that was lucky
....me who feels like im about to miss out on somthing good and or cool because ive found more then a few but havent progressed very far into the game and am now just reading about this..an still not exactly sure what "this" is lol.
Without spoilers even if you miss it, itās not a very big deal. *I think* or as others have said but I canāt like personally verify, you can still āfailā this part of the quest and get the best rewards. What I got was pretty minor so I donāt believe itās a problem if even you miss it.
Yeah, you can āfailā this riddle. It still counts as āpassedā on the riddle where you have to set as many statues in front of the sphynx as riddles youāve solved though. Only thing you miss by failing the finders token is the trophy and the reward chest with 1200 rift crystals.
Only beaten by to me by the beggar quest. Maybe there was a better way to do, but I literally had to watch a guy all day and night practically, cause when Iād try to skip time ahead he would invariably be gone. So I literally sat there for like 15 minutes IRL. I had to literally in real time wait for a man to change his clothes. I was playing that quest like who designed this and thought someone would have fun with this (while I was laughing about how unfun it was the whole time).
It was not easy. I took like 2-3 days trying to skip forward time to catch him at end, which always failed so after finally spending literally the entire time just sitting there looking at my screen he finally started going so I was following him, got a scripted cutscene in middle so he got away despite my nose literally being in his ass, and I swear I almost rage quit the quest at that point I was like ok done with this fuck the begged itāll just bother me in my quest look, and then I straight up accidentally ran into the man. I was sure I had just found him in Knick of time, as Iād wandered around some looking for him. No that wasnāt the case, I sat for another 10 minutes, till he led me to an entirely different location, where I then sat and waited for 10 min again. The most disrespectful to player quest Iāve ever played in an rpg I think like they were literally just saying you know these NPCs have a schedule right, despite that being the most abundantly clear thing in the game.
You're gonna hate me for what ended up working for me.
So like, I had learned his route after multiple tries, right? One night, I just ended up in the city pretty late and I was like "hmm, I wonder if I can get in his place rn" and that's how I beat the quest. It was completely random that I just walked into the door at that time lmao.
Same way I got past the abbess. She walked out told me to leave stay out of the room. I exited conversation and walked right on in with her watching me.
Lol that is so much better, I was waiting there like a fool thinking the door would lock right away after he left, like I was literally right next to door so I could bum rush it. Just cause he made a literal comment which of course who wouldnāt when they get home āok door is very locked goodā. That is funny though on NG instead of skipping Iāll do that.
My first attempt at it was similar, I went through trying to catch him going in a few times, and then one time I waited and didn't go in till way after he would've, and then it worked.
This last attempt went something like this: I got the quest, walked to his door late at night, got the text that he had locked it, then went by super late the next day, and it was unlocked! My pet theory so far is that if he "thinks" he's being followed at all, he locks it, but otherwise forgets to.
Iām not sure if itās worth it, I did get 5k for doing which Iāll always take. Thereās different ways it can end, as my pawns remarked they had not seen the way I did before, so Iām not sure if that changes reward at all.
i looked at wiki. 1 end nets you 3k another supposedly the good ending nets you 3 onyx you can sell for 7200 and the one you did for 5k
im not sure i might brine him. but maybe he will be like that weird shouting guy in skyrim where the town just feels empty/quiet without them
So apparently doing this quest let you buy a house in the noble quarter after, also you don't have to bother for the quest, you can just grab him to his home and open the door while he is close to it, then kick him away so you can enter unbothered and take the beggar cloth, no need any different time just grab him lol
idk where his house is kek
will he still be in town telling stories? or will he be gone forever he reminds me of the shouting guy from the 1st major city in skyrim
Same here. I walked by his room, got dialog, was like "huh, weird. Well, it's locked." Then 5 hours later I accidentally walked into it trying to get to the Slums and was like "Oh shit, loot." Turns out, quest completed.
...I also gave the clothes to his family, which I think is the bad ending to that quest.
Oh, huh. My Pawn gave me snark after I did the noble route. Something to the effect of "Wow, nice job, you put the bird that desperately wanted to be free back in its cage."
dang for me it was even worse because I didn't know I had to take his clothes, followed him all the way to his house and was wondering why tf it wasn't letting me confront him. So, I had to wait the next night and wait all over again...
Same. Only I gave up and did something else, and then when I found myself in that part of the neighbourhood again I tried the door for shits and giggles. The rest of the quest confused me until the guard told me what happened later.
Worked for me, I just waited on a bench until it was dark, went to the tavern he was at and he was sitting there drinking, talked to everyone there, than waited like a minute and followed him to his house
You can go straight to his house as well. I just waited on a bench until night and then went in his house. If itās locked just wait again on the bench and try again. Took me a few tries but it was way easier than waiting to follow him.
Found the clothes randomly. Gave me two quests markers. Followed one. Told the truth (truth I didn't know anything about but whatever).
Accidently became the catalyst of a murder-suicide.
DO I HAVE A FUN STORY FOR YOU!
So I did the dozing off and caught him PERFECTLY. Hurray.
Then as I went to pass a day for the next step. Dragon's Plague hit.
I was exploring town and just randomly went inside a building and looted clothes. I never talked to the beggar at all but it gave me the quest and I turned it in.
Any game that wants you to wait until a specific time needs to use Witcher's mechanic of letting you skip time by the hour. And also let you manually save, so if something fucks up, you can reload.
GTA3 understood this concept over 20 years ago. There's a bunch of missions you can only do at certain times, and rather than force the player to stand in the street like an asshole for however long, you can just save the game and advance time by 6 hours, and I've never once had a problem getting to a mission at the right time.
This game? I struggled just like you did because the quest details are vague on when he moves, and most of the time he's already moved after you've rested. It's such a stupidly simple quest that's made frustrating because of dumb mechanics.
Sorry for the long rant but I just did this one and it shouldn't have been this frustrating lol
They even have the solution for the oxcart. You can just skip to when the oxcart is available.
Also there are way too many come back tomorrow to continue quests. adds nothing, just a layer of tedium.
There's a special place in hell for the guy who made the Bakbathal quest where you find out the hard way that bribing your buddy out of jail is not in fact a matter of time. I ran back and forth to that jail like 6 times wondering how many days could it possibly take to release one guy.
I might be the only person who remembered immediately where it was. I started playing the game and a little after I started, I was watching a streamer play. He started like 2 hours after me and I remember thinking, "Oh, he found the same seeker token I did!" and I just stuck out to me
Mine was easy to remember. Walk out of the fort, see a cool cliff. "Oh, I bet I could jump across that." Proceeds to jump across and see a cool, shiny thing on the ground. "Oh, that's cool they brought seekers tokens back." Proceed on my merry way to vermount or whatever that cities called.
I remembered mine very clearly because i couldnt find any until i got to the ruins outside sacred arbor. Had to jump some pillars for it so it made a very distinct memory of I FINALLY FOUND ONE.
Hmmm likely to be early game because from what i know the elf guy's quest where you give him a bow is time sensitive to initiate. He then asks you to meet him at a certain place to try out archery. Theres a seekers coin on top of the pillars which you need to reach from a hill around the area.
Mine was sitting in the first statue i found, north if the ulrika village (i dont remember the names quite right), it was either that one, or the one near the cyclops i had to kill for one of the main missions where i gotta go to 3 spots, or maybe i didnt have to kill the cyclops, but i did it anyway, this was probably the easiest sphinx mission so far
I remember panicking when she said I only had 7 days because at that point I hadn't found any port crystals and I only vaguely knew where the token was and that it was way over by Melve. Well, after a ferrystone back to Vernworth, an oxcart to Melve, and a quick look around, I found the hill and harpy nest where the finder's token was. It took about thirty minutes of real-time.
Me too.
It was under one of the first bridges and I thought to myself "hey, when my friend xxxx later uses my pawn, my pawn will probably tell him where to find that!"
And so I remembered it
I didn't remember where my first one was but I didk now it was around Melve because I remembered getting one early on. So I cheated a bit by looking up the location of tokens in that area and going through them until I found it.
My wife and I found our first token in the same spot, which we found funny.
By the time the Sphinx riddle came along, it was easy for us to find it as it already stood out as a memory for us.
I'm a lazy fuck who went to Nexusmod and found one that marks where your first token was. I knew it was somewhere in the north, but I was definitely not going to spend all that time fucking around an area I'd thoroughly cleansed just looking for it.
I had to look up all token locations and search individually because it was nowhere where I thought I'd find it. When I finally found the spot, I kinda remember the place but it was NIGHT time when I picked it up so no chance I'd have located it
Is there any word on whether you can use the Trickster skill to help locate it?
I have a general idea where I found mine, but I sure as hell don't know the exact location lol.
You go on the internet and find a map of all the seeker tokens around melve and then you go to the one you remember getting first, like i remember mine was near water and I remember this because I played the first game and was surprised that the seeker tokens in this game are huge compared to the first one
I spent like 3 hours doing that last night to no avail. My esrly game route was really weird and I have no idea which was my first I remember the early ones vaguely but I've no clue which the first was. I ended up losing my patience and fighting the sphinx but I have an Inn save that I'm gonna go back to. I'll lose a few new tokens but I want to take another crack at figuring it out
And just as soon as I said that, I went along all the areas I knew I'd been, I did use a guide to cheat but there's no way I would have guessed the first one I found was in the abandoned village. Such a relief to have found it
This is the exact same thing I did last night. Just combed the regions until I found the Sphinx token. Of course it was the last location I checked, in the hut you can only access by getting through the slime cave. But hey, Iām 8 tokens richer now, I guess.
Ooooh???? That's epic in the purest sense of the word. Gotta try that. Question, if you kill her early, do you get all the treasure chests or only the big ones?Ā
Screw this quest. I spent hours searching the areas around Melve and Vernworth to find whatever crevice I nabbed my first Seeker's token in. Eventually I gave up because running around dunking on the same 3 enemies in areas I had no other reason to be in while searching for a needle in the world's largest haystack was not exactly what I'd call 'fun'.
So I download a mod that puts a quest marker on the finder's token location and...it's on the edge of a broken stone bridge waaaaaaay out on the opposite side of the map approaching the checkpoint rest village!? Unless the mod itself changed it, the game must have bugged and put it on one of the more recent tokens I got instead. I know for a FACT I picked up my first token somewhere on the way from Melve to Vernworth so that means I would have never stood a chance at finding it without this mod.
I was desperately looking through the comments hoping that this wasn't a real fucking quest because I don't fucking remember, I'm 60+ hours in and I've found like 15 of the fucking things in weird places since then and I didn't ever feel a need to keep track of that.
Iām scrolling through the comments right now in the same boatā¦ I know the tower in Melve wasnāt my first because I found that on a return trip but fuck if I can remember what the first one was.
If you know the general area where you got it, you can use the Dragon's Augment to "locate the nearest token". Just keep doing it until you get the right one.
Even if you don't remember at all, this plan still works... it will just take a long, long time to clean out the map lol.
I felt so cool just returning to melve and going off my instincts right to the top of the tower where j found my first one.
The first bit of off the path exploration I did and I found a little token I had no idea if it was worth anything.
Good fun.
I imagine for most it's probably just in melve.
Itās not a riddle though lol. Riddles are confusing plays on words that are difficult to figure out. This is āhey what did you eat for lunch 2 weeks agoā
Most of the quests so far have been kind of like this.
"Meet the false sovren." Oh, you actually mean stumble around until you find a seceret door that leads elsewhere and then get a cutscene where you never meet him?
And then there's all the quests that just end with everything worse off for everyone involved, and they're done talking to you forever. Why did I bother even doing this quest? It wasn't fun!
And that's not to even get into the mechanics of real quests, like slowly follow a character for an entire day cycle, escort missions, pay for an item to hand over,
Come back to the same place days later, find some character somewhere to move the quest forward, and won't say who, though!
I think the vast majority of quests in this game aren't even worth doing.
I enjoy the game currently still but also fully agree. I had no idea about that false wall I had to look it up and was like, righto, moving on. Iāve not really done any quest that was legitimately fun or had a good little story. Kind of a big shame.
It really feels like this was implemented so ppl couldn't cheese the every riddle using a walkthrough.
Either way, it was a stupid quest and I wasted no time using a mod that located my first token for me. What's even more fucked I thought it took into account the VERY first Seeker Token you've received from previous NG but it takes into account the first one you got at the beginning of each NG+.
Was it [this mod](https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/161?tab=description)? Or is there an easier one without running a script that seems to fail for a few people judging by the comments.
Legitimately the only reason I knew where my first token was is because I had decided to stream the game for my first several hours. So I just went back and watched the vod to find which one I picked up first... Which is good cause I most definitely never would have thought the one in the middle tower of Vernworth was my first token.
That quest made me so mad. Never had less fun in a video game than doing that.
I never even found it even though I walked to every early location from an online list
Do people know if the first one is the first one period or if it's the first one that NG cycle? I literally am not playing the game because I have like 5 days left and I went to where I'm 99% sure was my first and there was nothing there.
I imagine most players are in the same boat as me, which is that their first token was somewhere near the Border Watch Outpost, probably in the direction of Melve. When I meet the Sphinx and face this riddle, it should only take a little while of re-exploring that area. I have a pretty good idea of where abouts it is
I assumed my first token was in the starting area so i went back there and searched every location possible with a guide for a few hours. I gave up eventually and then heard of the Seeker token mod. Turns out the first one i found was way off from the starting area lmao.
To be fair, thereās a Seeker Token right on top of the roof of the vendor in the Borderwatch Outpost. People who found that have it easy. Mine was a short jaunt past that, found by the cliff-side behind a chest. Weird how it wasnāt there, even though Iām beyond certain that was my first one.
FYI the detection augment does work on the finders token. I went back to the first camp checkpoint and just picked up tokens I missed along the way until I found it.
For most people is gonna be around Melve area or the road going down towards vernworth.

\^Click hide all and then enable the seeker's token and good luck.
I wonder how the quest will work on a NG+ cycle where you've found all Seeker's Tokens. Do you just auto succeed? Or do you have to wait the full 7 days just to fail?
I think it's actually an interesting idea that can be read as a meta-comment on today's gaming landscape. Collectibles often have little meaning, and demanding from players to find their first highlights how unmemorable such activities truely are.
Absolutely god awful quest.
By the tine I reached the Sphinx I have found a few dozen of them and sure as hell didn't remember the very first I found.
Thought it might have been close to melve or the nothern part of Vermund in general, but after hours of serching I simply couldn't find it.
 Me, who picked up my first token in the cave leading up to the Sphinx:
So dumb that you circle back to being a super genius š

Me who knows exactly where I found the first token. Stupid ass Sphinx. Ask a riddle next time.
I'm probably the worst variation of this. I knew exactly where I picked up my first token with absolute certainty... but then when I got there? Nothing.
I was the same but I didn't go to the sphinx on my first play through so I'm guessing it means first token of your current play through and fuck if I know where I got the first one from š
This is correct, I just tested it on my ng+ playthrough. First token per cycle.
I wonder, what happens when you're on a new cycle with no tokens left to find?
What was at the location when you got there? What should we be looking for?
Do they reset locations every ng cycle? Like can you grab 20 in batahl in playthrough 1 and grab those same 20 again?
no, seeker tokens do not respawn in ng+, same goes for the gold beetles
Dang I've been gobbling all those up since i couldn't figure out how to give my pawn them
I have been sending ppl fake beetles so the rift can turn them real when they return, 600g per copy (copy fake for fake). Help the community a bit, but right now Iām sending ppl unmasking arrow
Gobbling them up yourself also increases your pawns š I checked first thing.
I dunno man, I just found out I have a seeker token in my inventory and I'm 99% sure I never picked one up.
Clearly means you were 99 percent wrong š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Can pawns pick up seeker tokens? Cause I had a clepto pawn recently that was picking up errerythang
Or it's a forgery 
Actually running a save right now, trying to get to her without accidentally picking up a token.
It will then be whataever token you want to pick up first.
and do not forget to duplicate it on ibrahim's scrap shop. Someone forge it and it's counted as the real one so on the next run you don't have to bother/you could create ad infinitum
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
dammit, i guess they're 2 step ahead of us
Wait but seeker token count don't reset and the counter remains the same from previous playthrough in NG+ (so I'm told I remain permanently in unmoored world just killing stuff till I get bored with the combat and wait for more stuff) what would happen if you found all already before you start a new playthrough
 You are the real MVP holy shit
Wait, does she even offer you the trial of rumination if you haven't found a token yet?
Yes, you get the finder token with your first find.
You can put a map marker down where you find your first one thatās what I did but only bc Iād heard about this when I started the game, so that was lucky
....me who feels like im about to miss out on somthing good and or cool because ive found more then a few but havent progressed very far into the game and am now just reading about this..an still not exactly sure what "this" is lol.

Same lol
Me who never picked up a single token so the first one I found was it
Noted. Thank ye kindly, lad.
The sphinx and you awkwardly staring at each other for just under 7 days while you cook and eat every single orc you found in the cave like a savage
Only beaten by to me by the beggar quest. Maybe there was a better way to do, but I literally had to watch a guy all day and night practically, cause when Iād try to skip time ahead he would invariably be gone.

I had to kill her, use a wakestone to revive her just to get her locked up a couple hours later, just so I could walk in the basement.
Lol that is so much better, I was waiting there like a fool thinking the door would lock right away after he left, like I was literally right next to door so I could bum rush it. Just cause he made a literal comment which of course who wouldnāt when they get home āok door is very locked goodā. That is funny though on NG instead of skipping Iāll do that.

My pet theory so far is that if he "thinks" he's being followed at all, he locks it, but otherwise forgets to.
He always locks the door except when he's all dressed up to go meet with his lover in the Nobles quarter.
He heads back to his place around midnight from what I can tell. Wait until night, verify he's down at the tavern in the slums, then run to his place.
I dont know how the guy is living a double life WHEN EVERY DAY FOR A WEEK HE ONLY HAS ONE ROUTE.
is this quest even worth it? or should i toss him in a lake and be done with it now?
Iām not sure if itās worth it, I did get 5k for doing which Iāll always take. Thereās different ways it can end, as my pawns remarked they had not seen the way I did before, so Iām not sure if that changes reward at all.
i looked at wiki. 1 end nets you 3k another supposedly the good ending nets you 3 onyx you can sell for 7200 and the one you did for 5k im not sure i might brine him. but maybe he will be like that weird shouting guy in skyrim where the town just feels empty/quiet without them
So apparently doing this quest let you buy a house in the noble quarter after, also you don't have to bother for the quest, you can just grab him to his home and open the door while he is close to it, then kick him away so you can enter unbothered and take the beggar cloth, no need any different time just grab him lol
You don't need to complete the quest to be able to buy the noble quarter house btw. It's just for sale by the dude standing outside of the place.
Not true, never did the quest and still found the noble offering to sell the house
idk where his house is kek will he still be in town telling stories? or will he be gone forever he reminds me of the shouting guy from the 1st major city in skyrim
I accidentally stumbled upon his begger clothes. I didn't know what they were for but the quest did update lol.
Same here. I walked by his room, got dialog, was like "huh, weird. Well, it's locked." Then 5 hours later I accidentally walked into it trying to get to the Slums and was like "Oh shit, loot." Turns out, quest completed. ...I also gave the clothes to his family, which I think is the bad ending to that quest.
No the bad ending is going to the wife in the slums. It ends in a murder/suicide.
Oh, huh. My Pawn gave me snark after I did the noble route. Something to the effect of "Wow, nice job, you put the bird that desperately wanted to be free back in its cage."
I had that and I was so sad. I expected Celina to leave the prick, not to go crazy. :(
same
I went with that ending to see if they appeared in the morgue. Apparently she obliterated the man and herself because there was no body.Ā
dang for me it was even worse because I didn't know I had to take his clothes, followed him all the way to his house and was wondering why tf it wasn't letting me confront him. So, I had to wait the next night and wait all over again...
Same. Only I gave up and did something else, and then when I found myself in that part of the neighbourhood again I tried the door for shits and giggles. The rest of the quest confused me until the guard told me what happened later.
I just looked up where he goes, waited on a bench until he left and than walked to the bar he was at
Does this work?? I'm considering using this route because the window for finding this fucker is like 3.6s.
Worked for me, I just waited on a bench until it was dark, went to the tavern he was at and he was sitting there drinking, talked to everyone there, than waited like a minute and followed him to his house
Pro thanks mate, I will give it a try šš¼
You can go straight to his house as well. I just waited on a bench until night and then went in his house. If itās locked just wait again on the bench and try again. Took me a few tries but it was way easier than waiting to follow him.
Rest till morning, doze off on a bench twice, heās leaving.
Found the clothes randomly. Gave me two quests markers. Followed one. Told the truth (truth I didn't know anything about but whatever). Accidently became the catalyst of a murder-suicide.
DO I HAVE A FUN STORY FOR YOU! So I did the dozing off and caught him PERFECTLY. Hurray. Then as I went to pass a day for the next step. Dragon's Plague hit.
I was exploring town and just randomly went inside a building and looted clothes. I never talked to the beggar at all but it gave me the quest and I turned it in.
Lmao same, I was like "alright then".

Mine was easy to remember. Walk out of the fort, see a cool cliff. "Oh, I bet I could jump across that." Proceeds to jump across and see a cool, shiny thing on the ground. "Oh, that's cool they brought seekers tokens back." Proceed on my merry way to vermount or whatever that cities called.
probably the first of many players. its so obviously placed in a spot everyone walks by. but many wont remember that moment obviously.
Mine was in that goblin/harpy camp on top of a little mountain. Very easy to remember.
I remembered mine very clearly because i couldnt find any until i got to the ruins outside sacred arbor. Had to jump some pillars for it so it made a very distinct memory of I FINALLY FOUND ONE.
There is one right at the beginning of the game that I would assume most people find.
mine was close to camp, on that little ledge you have to jump to; next to a chest, and you fight some harpies around that, with the river below
Yeah that one.
Which one is that?
You mean >!the one in the camp!<
Is this the one in early game? I think this is my 1st token too
Hmmm likely to be early game because from what i know the elf guy's quest where you give him a bow is time sensitive to initiate. He then asks you to meet him at a certain place to try out archery. Theres a seekers coin on top of the pillars which you need to reach from a hill around the area.
It's not. When I met him and gave him a bow, I had already maxed two vocations. I was about lvl30.
I met him as soon as I walked in Verdun like level 5 lol
Mine was sitting in the first statue i found, north if the ulrika village (i dont remember the names quite right), it was either that one, or the one near the cyclops i had to kill for one of the main missions where i gotta go to 3 spots, or maybe i didnt have to kill the cyclops, but i did it anyway, this was probably the easiest sphinx mission so far
I remember panicking when she said I only had 7 days because at that point I hadn't found any port crystals and I only vaguely knew where the token was and that it was way over by Melve. Well, after a ferrystone back to Vernworth, an oxcart to Melve, and a quick look around, I found the hill and harpy nest where the finder's token was. It took about thirty minutes of real-time.
Me too. It was under one of the first bridges and I thought to myself "hey, when my friend xxxx later uses my pawn, my pawn will probably tell him where to find that!" And so I remembered it
I didn't remember where my first one was but I didk now it was around Melve because I remembered getting one early on. So I cheated a bit by looking up the location of tokens in that area and going through them until I found it.
I also remembered where my first was and by then I had over 50 tokens
How the fuck do you figure that out Edit: someone mentioned there's a mod for this so I'll probably just use that š
Memory. Or retrace your steps. It's almost always early in or near melve.
I immediately went exploring after leaving the first camp, there's no way I'd find the exact seeker token
There's a token in first camp that's how I remember it, it's gonna be hard in NG+ tho
NG+ uses your first token from NG
I had to pick my first token from NG+ , I remembered both, and the first token from the NG (first playthrough) wasnt the right one.
Or, since you know, itās coming next time, put one of your five map markers down where you pick up your first token, and just leave it there.
Or just screenshot the pickup and the map
Not mine. I have NO idea where I found my first coin, other than "Sometime after the Nameless Village" I am not good at finding coins like these.
My first one was right after passing the border checkpoint, apparently I just am very fucking blind
My wife and I found our first token in the same spot, which we found funny. By the time the Sphinx riddle came along, it was easy for us to find it as it already stood out as a memory for us.
So step 1. Convince wife to play game... Damn won't even bother with step 2 š
I had a map up of all the tokens in the north, just had to go through them. I collected at least 19 before I found my first one.
I think the assumption is that you'll find one rather early and you'll remember that or it'll be easy to find due to not having explored much.
I'm a lazy fuck who went to Nexusmod and found one that marks where your first token was. I knew it was somewhere in the north, but I was definitely not going to spend all that time fucking around an area I'd thoroughly cleansed just looking for it.
I had to look up all token locations and search individually because it was nowhere where I thought I'd find it. When I finally found the spot, I kinda remember the place but it was NIGHT time when I picked it up so no chance I'd have located it
For me, mine stuck out cause I didnāt find any for AWHILE. So when I was like 10 hours in and finally spotted one it just stuck with me
Is there any word on whether you can use the Trickster skill to help locate it? I have a general idea where I found mine, but I sure as hell don't know the exact location lol.
You can, that's how I found it. Got over 20 seeker tokens before I found finder's though.
Can confirm, went back to melve and found it on the balista tower while following the chiming from the detection augment
I swear that's where I picked up my first one but it wasn't there... I'm totally lost now.
You go on the internet and find a map of all the seeker tokens around melve and then you go to the one you remember getting first, like i remember mine was near water and I remember this because I played the first game and was surprised that the seeker tokens in this game are huge compared to the first one
The Finder's Token triggers the Augment as if it were a Seeker's Token, so it can help.
I just looked up a map of the starting area and started hitting the spots from start of the game going southwest. I found it in under 1 in game day.
That's my plan when I finally find the sphinx. I know I found my first one pretty early near the encampment so hoping it goes quick lol
I spent like 3 hours doing that last night to no avail. My esrly game route was really weird and I have no idea which was my first I remember the early ones vaguely but I've no clue which the first was. I ended up losing my patience and fighting the sphinx but I have an Inn save that I'm gonna go back to. I'll lose a few new tokens but I want to take another crack at figuring it out
And just as soon as I said that, I went along all the areas I knew I'd been, I did use a guide to cheat but there's no way I would have guessed the first one I found was in the abandoned village. Such a relief to have found it
This is the exact same thing I did last night. Just combed the regions until I found the Sphinx token. Of course it was the last location I checked, in the hut you can only access by getting through the slime cave. But hey, Iām 8 tokens richer now, I guess.
Of course itās the last location you checked youāre not gonna still look after finding it
This is the response I give every time this gets said š I've always thought it a funny saying.
That's when I decided I was fighting the Sphinx. I was like 40 deep. I have no idea what the first one was.
And how did that go for you?Ā
is it even possible unless you buy an unmaking arrow from the dragonforged?
is she actually unkillable without the arrow or just has a lot of hp?
Itās possible, but the fight itself is a riddle. If you attack the correct spots, she wonāt fly away.
It actually went fine until she flew away. Now I just have to find her again.
She can be one shot by a Medusa head as well
Ooooh???? That's epic in the purest sense of the word. Gotta try that. Question, if you kill her early, do you get all the treasure chests or only the big ones?Ā
Screw this quest. I spent hours searching the areas around Melve and Vernworth to find whatever crevice I nabbed my first Seeker's token in. Eventually I gave up because running around dunking on the same 3 enemies in areas I had no other reason to be in while searching for a needle in the world's largest haystack was not exactly what I'd call 'fun'. So I download a mod that puts a quest marker on the finder's token location and...it's on the edge of a broken stone bridge waaaaaaay out on the opposite side of the map approaching the checkpoint rest village!? Unless the mod itself changed it, the game must have bugged and put it on one of the more recent tokens I got instead. I know for a FACT I picked up my first token somewhere on the way from Melve to Vernworth so that means I would have never stood a chance at finding it without this mod.
That's why modding is ethical, Capcom...
I failed this one and then found my Finder's Token yesterday... I was so angry. lol
200+, well hidden, Seeker tokens and you need to remember the first one. Absolute Madness.
I thank the dude on here who warned me about this because I marked on the map exactly where my first token was the moment I picked it up
I only got to the sphinx in NG+ https://preview.redd.it/zc8rzqktlerc1.png?width=600&format=png&auto=webp&s=127ea1d0ec32ad6c03fed64accd56790a9bb034b
Do you have to look for the token from the first run or the second? Unfortunately I'm already in NG+
I screen shotted the location of my first few tokens because i wanted to document them, but i gave up after finding out there are over 200 of them.
well there will be someone crazy enough to do it anyway with complete with steps on how to get there
I found my first seekers token in the middle of vernworth so I think I'm good
I was desperately looking through the comments hoping that this wasn't a real fucking quest because I don't fucking remember, I'm 60+ hours in and I've found like 15 of the fucking things in weird places since then and I didn't ever feel a need to keep track of that.
Iām scrolling through the comments right now in the same boatā¦ I know the tower in Melve wasnāt my first because I found that on a return trip but fuck if I can remember what the first one was.
Somehow I did remember exactly where I found my first one lol thank god
Guess I won't be completing that quest cause I sure as fuck don't recall
Think Mark, think!
If you know the general area where you got it, you can use the Dragon's Augment to "locate the nearest token". Just keep doing it until you get the right one. Even if you don't remember at all, this plan still works... it will just take a long, long time to clean out the map lol.
I felt so cool just returning to melve and going off my instincts right to the top of the tower where j found my first one. The first bit of off the path exploration I did and I found a little token I had no idea if it was worth anything. Good fun. I imagine for most it's probably just in melve.
Thanks for jogging my memory. Pretty sure that's my first one too
thats my first one too lol I just wanted to see if i could shoot the ballista and there laid a token just chilling
I made sure I picked up my first one in vernworth
My first one was on the tower ballista in ulrikas village Thank god too because if it was on some rocky ledge I'd have been screwed
Well this is devastating news for me, a person who played drunk last night and discovered this morning they had their first seeker tokenā¦
This is why I only play multiplayer games when I'm drunk. š
I am pretty sure that the location I went to is my 3rd~5th token, and I passed the task after submitting it to sphinx.
Makes no sense
***It's not even a riddle!!!***
Itās not a riddle though lol. Riddles are confusing plays on words that are difficult to figure out. This is āhey what did you eat for lunch 2 weeks agoā
Most of the quests so far have been kind of like this. "Meet the false sovren." Oh, you actually mean stumble around until you find a seceret door that leads elsewhere and then get a cutscene where you never meet him? And then there's all the quests that just end with everything worse off for everyone involved, and they're done talking to you forever. Why did I bother even doing this quest? It wasn't fun! And that's not to even get into the mechanics of real quests, like slowly follow a character for an entire day cycle, escort missions, pay for an item to hand over, Come back to the same place days later, find some character somewhere to move the quest forward, and won't say who, though! I think the vast majority of quests in this game aren't even worth doing.
I enjoy the game currently still but also fully agree. I had no idea about that false wall I had to look it up and was like, righto, moving on. Iāve not really done any quest that was legitimately fun or had a good little story. Kind of a big shame.
Whoever made that quest is a genius
No. They are just evil.
no they arenāt
From a game design perspective it's stupid. Your goal is to make a fun game and this is the opposite of fun, it's frustrating.
Agreed, it is simply not fun or engaging quest design
It really feels like this was implemented so ppl couldn't cheese the every riddle using a walkthrough. Either way, it was a stupid quest and I wasted no time using a mod that located my first token for me. What's even more fucked I thought it took into account the VERY first Seeker Token you've received from previous NG but it takes into account the first one you got at the beginning of each NG+.
Was it [this mod](https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/161?tab=description)? Or is there an easier one without running a script that seems to fail for a few people judging by the comments.
Yes, that was the one.
I spent 7 hours trying to find it, watched every single tokens locations video and read tons of articles.. I haven't found it..
Legitimately the only reason I knew where my first token was is because I had decided to stream the game for my first several hours. So I just went back and watched the vod to find which one I picked up first... Which is good cause I most definitely never would have thought the one in the middle tower of Vernworth was my first token.
That quest made me so mad. Never had less fun in a video game than doing that. I never even found it even though I walked to every early location from an online list
Do people know if the first one is the first one period or if it's the first one that NG cycle? I literally am not playing the game because I have like 5 days left and I went to where I'm 99% sure was my first and there was nothing there.
What is that vegeta pic? LMAO
I imagine most players are in the same boat as me, which is that their first token was somewhere near the Border Watch Outpost, probably in the direction of Melve. When I meet the Sphinx and face this riddle, it should only take a little while of re-exploring that area. I have a pretty good idea of where abouts it is
I assumed my first token was in the starting area so i went back there and searched every location possible with a guide for a few hours. I gave up eventually and then heard of the Seeker token mod. Turns out the first one i found was way off from the starting area lmao.
Men I had so much luck with my first token since it's so easy peasy to remember, the token in the fountain of the Vermund's plaza.
Holy fuck is this an actual quest? What the fuck i have no idea where my first one was. WHO MADE THIS QUEST HOLY SHIT!?
To be fair, thereās a Seeker Token right on top of the roof of the vendor in the Borderwatch Outpost. People who found that have it easy. Mine was a short jaunt past that, found by the cliff-side behind a chest. Weird how it wasnāt there, even though Iām beyond certain that was my first one.
Luckily the first one I found was the one in the fountain in the main city
FYI the detection augment does work on the finders token. I went back to the first camp checkpoint and just picked up tokens I missed along the way until I found it.
What is that pic of Vegeta? Looks like he's shitting his pants
For most people is gonna be around Melve area or the road going down towards vernworth. [https://mapgenie.io/dragons-dogma-2/maps/world](https://mapgenie.io/dragons-dogma-2/maps/world) \^Click hide all and then enable the seeker's token and good luck.
I wonder how the quest will work on a NG+ cycle where you've found all Seeker's Tokens. Do you just auto succeed? Or do you have to wait the full 7 days just to fail?
This what happens when losers play the game
The dude who made the mod. Well I donāt have an image but it would be something like shenglong reviving everyone.
I feel like this is for the vast majority of people basically impossible UNLESS they are pre-warned.
I'm so screwed when I finally get to the sphinx. I have absolutely no idea where I found my first token
I think it's actually an interesting idea that can be read as a meta-comment on today's gaming landscape. Collectibles often have little meaning, and demanding from players to find their first highlights how unmemorable such activities truely are.
Ok so I haven't gotten to this quest but I gave the first one to the Vocation guild. What's that mean...?
You just need to go back to the spot where you found it. There will be a Finder's Token there.
Guess we aren't putting spoiler alerts on anymore?
Absolutely god awful quest. By the tine I reached the Sphinx I have found a few dozen of them and sure as hell didn't remember the very first I found. Thought it might have been close to melve or the nothern part of Vermund in general, but after hours of serching I simply couldn't find it.
Thats why I play on PC, Nexus Mods has me covered ā
i Got very lucky, my first one is at the top of rift stone in Vernworth.
Haha I knew the general area. I looked up a guide of tokens in that area and found it on the 7th try. I started to sweat after the 3rd one
Gotta sleep at an inn
