Dragon’s Dogma 2: How To Help Hugo | Off The Pilfered Path Quest Guide
Off The Pilfered Path is one of the more complicated quests in Dragon’s Dogma 2.

After paying the gaoler, return after 24 hours. Hugo won’t be released yet, but he will have no dialogue and a new NPC to talk to.
Once you hear that Lanzo killed Hugo’s parents, return to Hugo and talk to him. This time he’ll react very differently. The next day, Hugo will be gone.
