The Blood of Dawnwalker Full Walkthrough

Before you start

Play the lords in this order: finish the prologue, then Ambrus, Bakir, and Xanthe. Save before each lord fight and again before A Deal with the Devil.

Time moves only when a quest step says it does. Walking and ordinary fights are free.

For Esme’s medicine, use hot water and three spoonfuls. A wrong mix is the dose the mass reacts to. PowerPyx says she dies; Polygon’s test did not confirm that. Save before you brew.

1. Prologue

1. Follow Lunka through the canyon, including the crawl and the squeeze.

2. In the tent, feed once, then finish the sword drill.

3. Shadowstep up to the church. The scene ends with Coen waking at home.

2. Withering Away

1. Dress from the chest, take the sword, chop the wood, then light the stove.

2. Anca is not home. Use Focus on the half-watered garden and the empty barrel, follow her to the river, and walk back with her.

3. Pay 50 for the herbs, haggle to 25, or take them on credit.

4. Stay for the Latin lesson only if you want Page-Turner. It spends an extra time segment.

5. Brew with hot water, not boiling, then three spoonfuls. Give Esme the bowl and tell her a story.

3. Like Father, Like Son and the mass

1. Follow Pieter and finish the spar. You get the Charge manual even if you lose.

2. Leave him if you still want the free prologue errands. Waiting skips you to the mass.

3. At the mass, the correct dose leaves Esme weak but alive. Save before the brew if you want to see the other result.

4. The quest ends in the mine raid.

4. Bad Blood and Smoke and Ashes

1. Re-equip, follow the blood trail, and help Kostel.

2. After the fall: southwest squeeze, northeast climb, Shadowstep the gaps, bite the rat if you need health, clear the kobold, then Planeshift to the exit.

3. The village rescue is optional.

4. With Anca, search the ruined house. Compel Soul needs the banner from the bodies before it works. The rag is optional after Hotfix 1.0.4.

5. Clearing the gate spends seven time segments and opens the Court.

5. Ambrus

1. Raise Ambrus in the Court, then take the Maragir invitation and go to the duel at night.

2. Iulian’s poison is a separate three-day task. Missing it only removes the poison advantage.

3. Ringing the bell spends two segments. Skip it if you already followed Anja.

4. When Scarlet Shield is up, stop hitting him. Damage heals him. Drain him if you want that reward. Killing him skips it.

6. Bakir and the ring

1. Meet Farkas at Lunar Manor in the afternoon. Entering spends five segments. Introductions spend three more.

2. Your gear is taken in the maze and returned when you finish the required path.

3. After Bakir, the purple-gem ring can go to Farkas, Anca, the Uriashi Matriarch, or the Sanzhani Tsarina. Anca’s reward is Quick Fighter’s Ring. The Matriarch and the Tsarina both give Vrakhir’s Endurance. Use a different save for each hand-in.

7. Xanthe

1. Carry the lantern. Set it on a statue to clear a red barrier, then pick it up again.

2. The west lantern, the kennel key, and the last two statues open the way to Xanthe.

3. Break the orbs when she heals. You can kill her, drain her, or spare her.

4. Do not jump off the balcony to skip a locked room. Update 1.1 closes that skip.

8. Home Sweet Home

1. The upper Silts Tower door spends four segments and starts the dream.

2. Save Esme, then the siblings, then beat the Keeper of Nightmares.

3. On loops two through four, Focus the well, enter the cave, then Focus Alin, Esme, and the family talk. Leave by the church door, touch the glowing stump, and finish the talk at the river.

4. The ambush outside drops the Astrologer’s Ring.

5. Four boss loops without the well lead to the fifth breakfast. To leave instead, reload the save from before the fourth boss.

9. The ending

1. Save before you tell Lacra you are ready, and again before the throne room.

2. From the Svartrau basement, go down, kill the gargoyle, Shadowstep the gap, and stay with Lacra through the temple.

3. Refuse Brencis if you want the two-phase fight. Accepting is a different ending.

4. The seven ending trophies do not share one save. Reload the save from before the commitment.
