Stepping into the world of The Blood of Dawnwalker is an exercise in careful choices. Every action, every conversation, shapes your journey through Coen. But early on, you’re faced with a unique challenge: time. You have a limited window to complete quests before mass, and choosing wisely can make all the difference.
Making Every Moment Count
In The Blood of Dawnwalker, you begin with a day to explore and undertake various quests before the arrival of mass. However, this seemingly endless opportunity is constrained by the ticking clock. You’re presented with a multitude of options, each vying for your attention, but time is a precious commodity.
This guide serves as your compass in this early-game dilemma. We’ll break down every quest available before mass, detailing their time commitment and offering recommendations to help you navigate the prologue effectively. Remember, while choices matter, there are no truly “wrong” decisions early on. However, understanding the implications of each choice will empower you to shape your character and experience Coen on your own terms.
Available Quests Before Mass
You’re presented with 13 quests that can be undertaken before mass in The Blood of Dawnwalker. However, the limited time necessitates careful prioritization. With only eight “hours” (seven if you include “Withering Away”), every decision carries weight.
Below is a detailed breakdown of each quest, including its time commitment and our recommendations:
| Quest | Time Used |
|---|---|
| “Into the Den” | 1 or 2 |
| “If a Tree Falls in a Forest…” | 1 or 2 |
| “Enter Not” | 1 or 2 |
| “Live Bait” | 1 or 2 |
| “Someone Needs a Lesson” | 1 or the rest of the morning |
| “Dead Drop” | 1 |
| “Bandits’ Treasure Map: Laslea Glen” | 1 |
| “Disturbed” | 1 |
| “Blasphemy” | 1 or the rest of the morning |
| “On the Run” | 1 |
| “Deep Down” | 1 |
| “Page-Turner” (available after you visit Anca’s hut during “Withering Away”) | 1 or 2 (2 or 3 when combined with “Withering Away”) |
| “Like Father, Like Son” (available after you gather the herbs from Anca) | 1 |
Strategic Quest Selection
Before diving into specific quests, remember that your choices in the prologue shape your character and influence future events. While there are no “wrong” decisions early on, some quests offer unique insights into the game’s mechanics and force you to confront difficult moral dilemmas.
Recommended Quests:
- “Blasphemy”: This quest presents one of your first major choices in The Blood of Dawnwalker, forcing you to grapple with complex motivations and question your own sense of justice. Your decisions here will have lasting consequences, even if you choose not to complete the quest.
- “Deep Down”: This quest introduces Iorgu, who has lost their pig and needs your help. You’ll need to utilize Focus to track down the missing animal, but this seemingly simple task leads to a difficult decision that will test your resolve.
- “Page-Turner”: Available after visiting Anca’s hut during “Withering Away,” this quest offers a glimpse into the world of Coen and introduces you to another key character.
- “On the Run”: This quest requires you to help Iorgu retrieve their pig, utilizing Focus once again. However, it forces you to make a tough decision immediately afterward.
- “Disturbed”: In “Disturbed,” you must assist Crina in uncovering the identity of the grave robber and understand their motives. This quest presents another moral dilemma, forcing you to choose between conflicting loyalties.
Prioritize quests that don’s consume time if possible. These offer free experience and rewards, allowing you to maximize your progress without sacrificing valuable time.
Avoiding Time Traps
Be mindful of quests that require an hour of your time at the beginning or middle. If you start a quest and then encounter another objective requiring an hour, your progress may be interrupted, and you won’t receive the rewards. Instead, consider leveling up a skill that requires one time segment, such as Sustained Focus, to save time in the future.
By carefully selecting your quests and avoiding unnecessary delays, you can make the most of your limited time before mass and set yourself up for success in The Blood of Dawnwalker!
