Certain missions, like The Unknown Village mission and An Unsettling Encounter, both require you to enter the Venworth palace under the guise of night and can only be done at a period from dusk until dawn. Such quests will be marked by a blue Pawn hand if they’re time-sensitive. Furthermore, certain activities, like ox cart departures, only happen early in the morning.

Utilizing Benches to Wait in Dragon's Dogma 2

One way to skip forward in time is by locating a bench within the game world. By choosing to sit and doze off, you can speed up the passage of time. This method is particularly useful when you're waiting for a specific time to travel, or wait for the next ox cart departure.
