Dragon’s Dogma 2 has a lot of locked-area content that you can unlock through sidequests or by simply talking to NPCs. One of these is a suspiciously locked area of a tavern, hidden in the residential area of Bakbattahl, Higgs’s Tavern Stand.
In this guide, I’ll elaborate on the two ways how to open Higgs’s Tavern Stand in Dragon’s Dogma 2 so you can access this merchant.
How to open Higgs’s Tavern Stand in Dragon’s Dogma 2
Using Beastren Mask to open Higgs’s Tavern
If your character is a Beastren already, you can directly carry the sack to the fenced area.
The easiest way to open Higgs’s Tavern stand is to equip theBeastren Mask. Once you have the Beastren Mask equipped, go to theResidential Area of Bakbattahl, where you’ll find Higgs’s Tavern or, at least, a part of it.
Go outside of Higgs’s Tavern Stand, and you’ll seetwo sacksbeside a fenced haystack. Grab one of the sacks and put it inside the fenced area. You’ll get a short cutscene withKarnelasking you to escort the “guest” to the real Higgs’s Tavern Stand. Go up the flight of stairs, open the door, and you’ll gain access to thetrue Higgs’s Tavern.

Using an alternative way to open Higgs’s Tavern
In my playthrough, I completely forgot to equip the Beastren Mask while carrying the sack. This scenario caused Karnel to report my character to the guards, whichtriggered a battlewith my party. I quickly fled the scene and killed two of the pursuers.
The problem is when I came back to Higgs’s Tavern with theBeastren Mask on, Karnel did ask me to escort the guest, but the door to the true Higgs’s Tavern Stand wasstill locked. The trick to unlocking the door is bykilling the NPC guard, Keith, standing beside it.
One heavenly shot later, the door to the true Higgs’s Tavern Stand magically unlocks. You can now purchasethree Newt Liqueursfrom Ezekiel, which are required to unlock one of themost fun Vocationsin the game, Wayfarer.
