Dragon’s Dogma 2 Dark Arisen: No Spoils Get Left Behind (Full Walkthrough)

No Spoils Get Left Behind is a Forsaken Dominion side quest in Norgan. A commission soldier named Chrona fled an ambush in Putrid Copse and dropped the spoils she was gathering for her comrades, and she wants them back. The quest has two parts. First you escort her through the fog and keep her alive. Then there is a timed detour to a cavern full of Lv. 4 gear, which most players miss if they wander off.

Quick answer: Finish The Castle in the Ice, meet Chrona at the gate by the sealed study, protect her through two straggler ambushes and a chimera, then go straight to Woodland Retreat without leaving Putrid Copse.

No Spoils Get Left Behind requirements and rewards

Chrona hands over the gold, experience, and the two Lv. 4 spoils as soon as the escort ends. The cavern detour afterward adds more loot on top of that, but it does not change the quest reward itself.

Escorting Chrona through Putrid Copse

Chrona’s request opens after The Castle in the Ice. Accept it by pledging your aid, and she asks you to meet her at the gate near the sealed study, which sits on the edge of the copse below Castletown Campground. Stock up before you talk to her there. Once you confirm, the escort starts right away, and a healer in the party makes keeping her alive much easier.

Leave Castletown Campground, cross the ramparts, and climb down the ladder to the outer grounds. Head for the ruined gate that leads into Putrid Copse, where Chrona is waiting.

Talk to Chrona and pick “I am ready.” The other option, “I need more time to prepare,” lets you back out and finish getting ready. Choosing ready moves the objective to Accompany Chrona.

Follow her down the snowy slope into the fog. When she hears the stragglers calling, an ambush starts around the stone ruins. You can’t see them well in the fog, so follow their calls to find them, then wipe out the group.

Keep following Chrona until she reaches her overturned cart. Her dropped spoils are still there in the snow.

Protect Chrona during the second, larger straggler ambush. Her wounds reopen and she can’t defend herself while she bandages them, so pull the enemies onto yourself and your pawns. The stragglers can blight you, and a Detoxifying Decoction clears it.

Once she is back on her feet, the objective changes to fighting alongside her, and a chimera jumps out of the fog. Kill it. This is the last fight of the escort. Avoid its sleep attack, because it can kill you quickly while you’re asleep.

Talk to Chrona after the chimera dies. She gives you the rewards and tells you about a stash of spoils in a cavern in western Putrid Copse.

If Chrona is killed, the quest advances to a point where you can decide whether to alter her fate or keep her dead. If she is missing from the gate when you arrive, check the castletown campground.

Woodland Retreat: Claiming the trove before the snowfoot

After Chrona’s tip, the objective becomes Venture to the cavern without making any detours. The cave is Woodland Retreat, a dungeon on the western side of Putrid Copse. The condition is strict. If you step outside Putrid Copse before you loot it, a snowfoot takes the treasure instead. Open the quest menu to check where the cave is before you set off.

Checking Cavern Location — The quest menu's map preview shows where the cavern is. Plot a route that stays inside the copse. Shown at 07:22 in Ghosts of Reykjavik’s video. Image: CAPCOM Co., Ltd.

The forest path west is still foggy, and more stragglers and larger monsters can attack on the way. Fighting them is fine as long as you don’t cross the copse boundary.

Traveling to Woodland Retreat — Fights on the way to the cavern are fine. Leaving Putrid Copse is not. Shown at 08:15 in Ghosts of Reykjavik’s video. Image: CAPCOM Co., Ltd.

Woodland Retreat’s name appears on screen when you reach the rocky entrance. It’s dark inside, so equip a lantern.

Open every chest inside. The cave holds these items:

Spoils: Lv. 4, Greaves
Spoils: Lv. 4, Plastron
20,600 G
Climbing Hook, Panacea, and Fine Roe Roborant
Wakestone Shard

Looting Treasure Chests — The chests in Woodland Retreat hold Lv. 4 armor spoils, gold, and a Wakestone Shard. Shown at 08:47 in Ghosts of Reykjavik’s video. Image: CAPCOM Co., Ltd.

Farther in, the traveling merchant Aymond is resting by a campfire. You can trade with him, and he talks about looking for a gagana at Gagana’s Grotto. Break the crates past his camp, then take the upper exit out of the cave. A snowfoot attacks outside. It’s weak to fire, and killing it gives back the loot it carried, including Spoils: Lv. 3, Aegis and a Snatching-Beast’s Talon.

Curatives and spoils for No Spoils Get Left Behind

These are the in-game values for the supplies that matter during the escort and the items that drop from it.

Item	Effect	Buy / sell	Weight
Detoxifying Decoction	Cures Blighted	500 G / 175 G	0.1 kg
Allheal Elixir	Full Health and Stamina, cures all debilitations incl. Sleep	10,000 G / 1,750 G	0.2 kg
Regeneration Elixir	Restores 40 loss gauge for whole party, some Health	10,000 G / 3,000 G	0.2 kg
Abandoned Supplies (Rare)	Appraise for 10 RC	200 G / 300 G	0.01 kg
Spoils: Lv 4, Bowstaff	Appraise for 45 RC	3,000 G / 600 G	0.01 kg

Detoxifying Decoction is made from Pitywort and Syrupwort Leaf and stacks to 99. Eldart’s Apothecary sells it, along with many other shops, including Hal and Philbert’s Sundries. Eldart restocks three every day.

Allheal Elixir covers the chimera’s sleep attack. Eldart’s Apothecary stocks one at a time and adds another every 10 days. You can also trade 5 Norgan Ducat for one, or get it by appraising Abandoned Supplies.

Regeneration Elixir heals the whole party at once, which is useful when Chrona is out of the fight. Hal and Aymond sell it for 10,000 G, so you can buy one from Aymond in Woodland Retreat.

Abandoned Supplies (Rare) are marked near Putrid Copse on the map. Stragglers and snowfoots both drop them. Appraising one gives a random rare item from a list that includes the Allheal Elixir, Regeneration Elixir, Wakestone, and Norgan Ducat.

Spoils: Lv 4, Bowstaff is one of Chrona’s rewards. Appraising it turns it into a Chicaner’s Bonestaff, Fiendsbane, or Foretoken with four special skill slots, filled from a pool that includes Critical Shot, Full Bend, and the various Counter skills.

How No Spoils Get Left Behind completes

After the cavern is looted, the last stage tells you to claim the trove and leave the copse. The objective may stay on screen even when nothing is left, so just leave. Using a Ferrystone to warp to the Castletown Campground Norgan Portcrystal works. When you arrive, the banner “Completed: No Spoils Get Left Behind” appears. Chrona is sitting by the campfire there afterward, and you can talk to her one more time for her thanks.
