Okay, here is my sharing about how I approached the false sovran in Dragon’s Dogma 2:

So I started this main quest called “The Stolen Throne”, given by Captain Brant. This quest got me involved in a masquerade ball, and I needed to find the right outfit to get in. I accepted the task and I found this outfit that’s proper for the masquerade.
With the outfit sorted, I equipped the mask and the clothes and headed to the palace to attend the masquerade. After I walked in, a cutscene triggered and showed the Sovran sneak away into a hallway. To find him, I needed to get into this secret room. Inside the secret room, I saw a set of double doors. I went through those doors and found myself on a walkway. This walkway went down to the right, and I just followed it.
And then it hit me – to get everything to work right, I had to come back at night. So I waited until nighttime and returned. The masquerade was still going, and I made my way back to that secret room. This time, when I opened the double doors and followed the walkway, things started to happen. This visual guide created by ConCon on YouTube really helped me find Chateau Bordelrie. In Chateau Bordelrie, I watched a cutscene and I finally saw the true identity of the false Sovran.
In conclusion, my main actions were:
- Started “The Stolen Throne” quest
- Found and equipped the masquerade outfit
- Attended the masquerade and saw the cutscene
- Located the secret room and followed the walkway
- Returned at night to trigger the correct events
- Watched a cutscene at Chateau Bordelrie and unveiled the false Sovran.
I hope this sharing can help you approach the false sovran, too!
