Off With Its Head | Act I Dragon's Dogma Guide

In short: Follow the caravan from the Encampment to the capital city. To initiate the quest, leave the Encampment by the east exit and head north, towards the castle ruins.

Difficulty level: Easy, since you're in a strong company all the time.

Leave the Encampment by the east exit and run towards the Mountain Waycastle.

Talk to Ser Mercedes and head out. The mission requires you to guard the ox pulling the cart. It can lose all its health points - it won't die, but will be moving very slowly. You can, however, speed it up by hitting it. Just remember not to do it too often. Keep close to the caravan throughout the whole quest - otherwise it will stop.

Just behind the bridge and the gate there are Goblins. Take care of them.

Further on you'll be attacked by Harpies living in the trees. To kill them, lure them to the ground by striking your shield or by shooting at them with the bow. It doesn't pay off to catch them in flight, because they can take you up in the air and throw you down.

Next in line are Wolves. They attack in packs. Focus on single enemies and attack them right after they charge.

A while later you should see a cabin. A few thugs are standing in front of it, but it's better not to attack them - they can be too powerful at this point in the game. Stones will be falling off the rocks in this area.

When you reach the closed gate, kill off the Goblins guarding it and use the lever. Kill the monsters waiting on the other side.

Before you reach the city there is a large meadow where you'll probably be attacked by the last group of enemies - Bandits. Eliminate them one by one.

Step on the bridge and talk to Mercedes.
