The Blood of Dawnwalker Quests

Main Quests

Main quests in The Blood of Dawnwalker focus on Coen's central goal: rescuing his family from the vampire lord Brencis. After the introductory prologue, the main story opens up and gives you considerable freedom in deciding what to do and when. A major part of the campaign involves confronting three vampire vassals - Ambrus, Bakir, and Xanthe. You need to carry out activities against their courts and eventually face each of them before progressing toward the final confrontation with Brencis.

All Good Things

All Good Things is the first main quest in The Blood of the Dawnwalker, which begins right after starting a new game. The quest begins with a cutscene where Lunka - the main character's sister - unexpectedly wanders off into the forest, and Coen decides to follow her.

Withering Away

Withering Away is the second prologue quest in The Blood of Dawnwalker. It starts automatically after finishing All Good Things. Your main goal is to get medicine for your sick mother before evening mass.

Sacred Covenant

This main quest starts automatically when dusk falls on the first day, or when you complete the "Like Father, Like Son" quest. When night falls, you will automatically head to the church, and a cutscene will trigger. Depending on whether and how you completed the "Blasphemy" quest, either a banner made by Gremla will hang above the altar while she sits in a pew - or her corpse will be hanging there instead.

Bad Blood

This quest begins automatically after completing the "Sacred Covenant" quest. Your father decides to join the rebellion, and together you head to the silver mine. Unfortunately, things do not go as planned - you are attacked and lose consciousness.

Smoke and Ashes

Smoke and Ashes begins automatically after completing the "Bad Blood" quest. Coen wakes up in the house of Anca, who took care of him after Brencis left him to be killed by the sun - which ultimately did not happen.

The Firebrand

To start this quest, approach Vlad's hut in the village center during the "Smoke and Ashes" quest. If you miss this step, you will still get it at the end of the "Smoke and Ashes" quest after speaking with Anca.

Echoes of Silenced Bells

Echoes of Silenced Bells will be added to your journal after you complete the "Smoke and Ashes" quest - that is, after you leave Laslea Glen following the first day of the time you have to save your family.

Side Quests

Side quests are optional stories that expand the world and introduce additional characters, factions, and situations. They can involve helping people, investigating events, fighting enemies, making choices, or dealing with personal conflicts. Some side quests form longer chains and can have different outcomes depending on your decisions. Because time is limited in the game, choosing to pursue a side quest can also mean giving up time that could have been spent elsewhere.

Deep Down

This is one of the quests available in the prologue. It is a time-sensitive quest, so it's best to complete it fairly quickly - but due to a tough fight, you'll need to prepare for it a bit. You can start it by talking to Gavril, whom you'll meet on your way to Anca's hut.

The Cursed Chasm

This quest can be started in two ways. You can ask the innkeeper in Svatrau about any recent rumors - he will then tell you about the treasure. Alternatively, you can simply head straight to the broken bridge.
