How to complete 'A Veil of Gossamer Clouds' in Dragon's Dogma 2
While many quests in Dragon's Dogma 2 are vague and complicated - with the romance system being a headache in of itself - figuring out how to complete 'A Veil of Gossamer Clouds' is really rather tricky.
It features no location to head to in the open world and just a vague gesture towards figuring out the nature of a mysterious letter. Like everything in the game though, it can be solved - although it might take a little longer than you'd think!
How to investigate the intent behind the unfinished letter
You'll first want to make sure that you've completed 'The Caged Magistrate' so that Waldhar is now located in the old archive underneath the Gracious Hand, and then also complete 'A Magisterial Amenity' so that he has his glasses and can read properly.

Waldhar will mention Battahl as a potential next destination, and that's exactly where we'll be heading. If you've not already been there, you'll need to obtain the Beastren Permit to pass through the border in the Checkpoint Rest Town, although this is a mandatory story element so it cannot be missed.

After the cutscene has finished, head inside the room that they were in which is at the back right of the main area, and inside on the table should be 'A Letter to Lord Phaesus'.

While many other things in Dragon's Dogma 2 aren't quite as confusing as this quest, you'll still definitely want to find out how to deal with Dragonsplague, where to find every Maister, and all of the Sphinx riddle answers that'll make your head hurt trying to figure out on your own.
