bekir September 2, 2026 3 min read 1 views

In the dark and brooding world of The Blood of Dawnwalker, choices have consequences, especially when those choices involve resisting your inner vampire. If you’re wondering if it’s possible to save Vlad, chances are you might have already made a fatal mistake – literally.

Resisting the Urge: Saving Vlad from a Bloody End

There’s a way to ensure Vlad survives your encounter after he escapes the burning house, a pivotal moment near the end of the prologue. But be warned: this guide contains spoilers for that crucial section. Proceed with caution!

The Key to Survival: Maintaining Your Blood Reserves

To save Vlad, you need more than one health segment. Remember, blood is life for vampires, and when you’re running on empty, your hunger can override even the most rational decisions. If you have less than one health segment during the conversation with Vlad, your vampiric urges will be too strong to resist, leading to a tragic end.

However, if you manage to maintain at least one health segment, you’re able to resist the urge and Vlad survives. He provides valuable information about the rebel network in Vale Sangora and promises to meet you later on. This is crucial for progressing the story!

Preparing for the Encounter: Managing Your Health

The challenge lies in the fact that immediately before your conversation with Vlad, you must battle a Vrakhiri Banneret miniboss and a soldier. A few hits from these enemies can easily deplete your health, leaving you vulnerable to your hunger. To mitigate this, consider eliminating some of the wandering soldiers in the area beforehand. They often carry Vial of Human Blood healing items that can help you replenish your health before the encounter with Vlad.

Avoiding Disaster: Dialogue Choices Matter

Of course, to save Vlad, you must also avoid selecting the dialogue option that says “Give in to the hunger.” This should be self-explanatory, but it’s worth mentioning for clarity. In general, this encounter serves as a valuable lesson for the rest of the game: never engage in conversations with humans at night when your health is critically low.
