Where to find Malcolm in Dragon's Dogma 2

To find Malcolm in Dragon's Dogma 2 you first need to question the two children outside the Church, Harvey and Rick. With your back to the Church, the first child is directly in front of you. Speak to them and then look to your right, the next one is standing amongst some ruined walls.

After speaking to both kids you can head inside the Church and speak to the girl at the very back of it called Aimee. She will let it out that Malcolm has gone into the Vaults.
