The mission that brought you here is "Echoes of Silenced Bells," which you picked up back in the Prologue.

Exploring St. Tyna's Convent with Anca and finding forbidden books.

Talk to Anca at the Crossroads Inn and head to the gates of St. Tyna's Convent with her.

You will visit this location during the "Echoes of Silenced Bells" quest.

Open the gates. Defeat and inspect the undead Nuns.

Hide in Refectory Building.

Undead Nun (Monster)

A dark tragedy at Saint Tyna's resurrected these plague-stricken nuns into mindless, unkillable monsters that refuse to stay dead.

Something horrible happened at Saint Tyna's. It covered the woods with thick fog and revived the nuns killed by the plague. Even when struck down and seemingly killed, they rise again, raging with fury. Stripped of any trace of their humanity, they have transformed into unkillable, undead monsters, unable to find eternal peace.

TYPE: Supernatural

11 Refectory Building

You will visit this location during the "Echoes of Silenced Bells" quest.

you are hiding out with Anca inside the Refectory Building. Search the area thoroughly to pick up the Monastery Map along with some other loot.

12 St. Tyna's Chapterhouse Shrine

Unlock the St. Tyna's Chapterhouse Shrine to enable fast travel. Look for an altar with a cross on the upper floor.

13 Balcony

After talking to Anca, scout the Convent grounds from the Refectory Building balcony. Your goal is to clear a path to the Library so she can find the forbidden books.

You have a few ways to pull this off. You could ring the bells in the Bell Tower to lure the Undead Nuns into the Chapel, but checking out the Infirmary is a much more interesting approach.

Head down from the balcony and follow the south wall straight to the Infirmary.

Lore: St. Tyna's Grove

Once a strict convent for unwanted daughters, St. Tyna's became a mass grave when the plague wiped out both the nuns and the desperate pilgrims seeking a miracle.

Back in the day, St. Tyna's convent was run like clockwork. I bet the prioress never complained of a shortage of candidates for the novitiate. If you were a third daughter with no dowry, or if you were giving your parents a hard time and 'needed some discipline', Saint Tyna's was where you ended up.

And then the plague came, and a wave of pilgrims flooded the convent. Some of them came to ask the saint for protection, others - already infected - to pray for a miracle. The sisters worked their fingers to the bone tending the sick ... until, in the end, there was no one left. Rumour is, all the pilgrims died, and so did the nuns. The convent and the surrounding woods fell silent. But not for long ...

St. Tyna's Convent

Once, St. Tyna's used to be a place of hope. Pilgrims would come here in droves to ask the Heavens for blessings and forgiveness - the wonderfully preserved body of the convent's founder was considered a holy relic, capable of inducing all sorts of wonders. And yet, when the plague came, it was of no avail.

14 Infirmary

Head to the Infirmary window and talk to Brencis's soldiers hiding inside.

Most Precious Thing Quest

"Most Precious Thing" is a short quest where you agree to help Brencis's soldiers track down St. Tyna's Necklace in exchange for access to the Library.

To find the necklace, head back to the Balcony (13) and climb onto the wall surrounding the Convent. Follow it all the way around and enter the Shed (15) on the far side of the courtyard.

15 Shed with Keys

Inside, grab the Monastery Keys to unlock most of the doors throughout the Convent.

16 Sacristy

Unlock the Sacristy doors using the Monastery Keys. Inside, grab the Relic of St. Tyna next to a dead Nun. You need this item for the soldiers in the "Most Precious Thing" quest.

17 Living Quarters

Use the Monastery Keys to get inside and grab the Campana Loquitur, as you will need it shortly.

Head back to the soldiers at the Infirmary (14) to wrap up the "Most Precious Thing" quest. Once that is done, return to Anca at the Balcony (13) and let her know the path to the library is clear.

18 Library

Return to Anca and guide her through the library. Check all the containers and bookcases to find 4 unique Manuals.

At the end, look for a secret passage behind a sliding bookcase leading down to the Catacombs.

19 Catacombs

Make your way through the Catacombs with Anca. Grab all the loot and clear out any enemies.

You'll find Leonica at the end. You can't help her, so you have to kill her.

NPC: Leonica (She Who Speaks With the Devil)

Leonica, She Who Speaks With the Devil, betrayed Anca and got her expelled from Saint Tyna's over a secret library she now hypocritically explores herself.

Leonica used to be Anca's friend at Saint Tyna's convent. When Anca discovered the secret library there, she told Leonica about it. Leonica lost her nerve and denounced Anca to the prioress, which then got Anca expelled from Saint Tyna's. But this doesn't seem to have stopped Leonica from taking an interest in the secret library after all.

TYPE: Supernatural

Loot her body for the exit key, Leonica's Ring, and the Unholy Vitality Manual. Check the nearby chest for another Manual.

Let Anca examine the documents. The next choice is important. Pick [This won't end well.] and [There. Take them. (1)] to hand the documents over to Anca.

Anca finishes the ritual, choose [Go without me. I'll join you at the inn later.]

You will receive the "Between the Words" quest, which is the next step in the Anca questline.

That wraps up the "Echoes of Silenced Bells" quest. You are now free to explore the rest of St. Tyna's Convent.

20 Bell Tower

Now that you are done with "Echoes of Silenced Bells," take a moment to check out the Bell Tower we skipped earlier. You can ring the bells here to lure the Undead Nuns into the Chapel.

21 Chapel

There is also a Chapel where you can find St. Tyna's tomb and check out the wall frescoes.

22Between the Words in Crossroads Inn

Wrapping up "Echoes of Silenced Bells" at St. Tyna's Convent starts your next quest, "Between the Words." Head back to the Crossroads Inn and talk to Anca.

Between the Words Quest Walkthrough

Examine the forbidden books with Anca to advance the romance.

The mission is straightforward, but it ties directly into Anca's romance arc. Choose your words carefully.

• Head back to the Crossroads Inn and talk to Anca.
• She is acting as a vendor again, so take this chance to sell off your junk.
• Exhaust all the side dialogue options, except for [give in to the hunger], obviously.

• Choose [Hope you had more luck than me.]
• Prepare a warm drink and hand it to Anca.
• Choose [It's my pleasure.]
• Choose [There are better sources of joy than herbal brews.]
• [Inspect] the 5 books on the table. You will notice that one of them, "Sancti Mihai Historia Vera," is completely blank. Show it to Anca.
• Choose [move the candle over the page]. Notice how this is apparently the only candle in existence that doesn't drip wax.
• Choose [move the candle down]
• Choose [Where do I find Albertus?]
• Choose [Always? What do you mean?]
• Choose [Your feelings toward me - it's more than just faith.]
• This wraps up the "Between the Words" quest.

You receive two new quests:

• A Monk and a Saint - A search for a magic sword. You have likely heard this story before and might even have a fragment of the weapon already. You need to track down Albertus in the Middens, but you can save that for later.
• Where Old Devils Lie - The next step in the Anca questline. You have to wait a full in-game day to continue. The quest log will update when Anca is ready to move forward.

NPC: Albertus (Historian)

Albertus is a monk and historian who might have clues about the legendary St. Mihai's sword, though his supposed madness makes his information hard to trust.

Albertus is a monk and historian who might know a thing or two about St. Mihai's sword, the legendary weapon I'm looking for. The problem is that, according to Anca, Albertus has gone mad. Who knows if what he says is of any value.

TYPE: Mortal

23Where Old Devils Lie in Crossroads Inn

Finishing "Between the Words" leads right into the next quest in Anca's storyline, "Where Old Devils Lie."

You have to wait a full in-game day before you can speak with her to start it. When you head back to the Crossroads Inn, try to time your arrival for the very first morning segment. You can knock out other activities in the meantime.

• This concludes the "Where Old Devils Lie" quest and instantly triggers "Stronger Than Achilles" quest, continuing the Anca storyline.

29 Stronger Than Achilles

Working your way through the ruins during "Where Old Devils Lie" brings you right to the location of hidden Font of Life. You have to beat a trial to actually claim it, which starts your next quest, "Stronger Than Achilles".

Stronger Than Achilles Quest Walkthrough

Get Font of Life Perk and finalize the romance with Anca.

Your primary goal is to complete the trials and secure the Font of Life, which lets you regenerate health while in human form. Your secondary objective is to confess your feelings to Anca and complete the romance. Keep your tone supportive with her throughout the mission.

The quest is straightforward but fairly long, involving a solid amount of dungeon crawling and combat. A few choices matter, and you will need to solve a platforming puzzle to cross a collapsed bridge.

• You start exactly where you left off in "Where Old Devils Lie," right at the entrance to the next section of the underground.
• Push forward through the corridors and take out any enemies in your path.
• You will eventually reach a circular dead-end room with an Idol in the center.

• Talk to Anca to advance the romance.
• Keep moving through the maze, checking side passages and clearing out enemies.
• Eventually, you will run into a Fallen Hero. Defeat him.

30 Collapsed Bridge

For "Stronger Than Achilles" Quest.

This spot is more than just a straightforward puzzle to get Anca across the gap. It is a major milestone in her romance arc, as this is the first time you get the chance to openly confess your feelings to her.

• You will reach a collapsed bridge over a chasm, triggering another conversation with Anca. You find out she is considering using the Font of Life on herself. Don't make a big deal out of this and avoid accusing her of lying.
• This conversation is the critical moment for the romance. Make sure you select [I'd do anything for you.] and [I love you.]
• Now it is time to solve the collapsed bridge puzzle. Head to the right and jump to the middle island. Walk around it following the blood trails on the ground, then jump across to the outer ledge with the stairs on the opposite side.
• Follow the outer ring of the room and squeeze through the gap on the far side.
• Go right and unlock the path for Anca.
• Head back to the massive doors in the side corridor and force them open together with Anca.

31 Font of Life

For "Stronger Than Achilles" Quest.

• Search the statue room and head down through the hole in the corner wall.
• You finally reach a room with an obelisk in the center. This is the second-to-last room before the Font of Life. Check the obelisk.
• Use Astral Communion on the obelisk. If you started "Where Old Devils Lie" and went straight into "Stronger Than Achilles," it should still be daytime, allowing you to use this Witchcraft Ability.
• Deal with the swarm of Guardians of the Font and loot their bodies.
• The doors to the Font of Life room will open. Head inside. Check the wall paintings and open the two chests against the walls to get the Champion's Vambraces, the Soul Stigma Manual, and the Darkbane Amulet.
• [Inspect] the blood chalice in the middle of the room.
• The following conversation is a major decision point. Do not let Anca use the Font of Life on herself. Choose [If it's alright with you - I'll use it.] and drink the blood from the chalice. Follow up with [Thank you, Anca.]
• You receive the highly valuable Font of Life Perk, which grants passive Regeneration of Human Health.
• Select [Let's go back to the inn.]

32 The Finale of Anca's Romance Arc

For "Stronger Than Achilles" Quest.

• You return to the Crossroads Inn to wrap up the romance with Anca.
• Choose [There's a conversation we need to finish.] and [I meant what I said.]
• Pick [Screw decency. I want you, too.] to trigger the final romance scene. If you want to back out of the relationship instead, choose [I guess you're right ... Let's be friends, then.]
• Afterwards, talk to Anca and try to comfort her.

Once you wrap up her romance arc, Anca stays at the Crossroads Inn. You can still talk to her, and she now serves as a Vendor.

33 A Pilgrimage for Power: Fanatics

35 Ruined Hut Shrine

36 Volk's Hut

This is home to Volk, the main figure in the "Buried Past" quest. This lengthy storyline digs into the past of Coen's father, and you can pick it up from the Merchant in Maragir.

NPC: Volk (Ex-mercenary)

Volk is a blind, heavy-drinking ex-mercenary who claims my father secretly supported him in Vale Sangora, sharing entertaining but completely unverified tales of their past adventures.

Volk is an ex-mercenary and - supposedly - my father's friend. In his youth he might have been a nimble warrior, but today he's old, blind and always in search of a drink.

He claims he came to Vale Sangora after losing his sight, and asked my father for help. My father agreed, found him a place to live and - without anyone noticing - visited him every now and then, providing him with everything Volk needed to survive.

Since my father can't confirm or deny any of this, I don't know if Volk is even telling the truth. But made up or not, his stories about my father and their adventures are definitely amusing to listen to.

TYPE: Mortal

You need to check in with Volk a few times to handle his optional tasks. Putting in the extra work pays off by expanding your final reward pool, so drop by whenever the game tells you he is ready for another visit.

Finishing "Buried Past" nets you the Artery Strike Manual, Pieter's Garb, and Volk's Sword. These are solid payouts, making this quest well worth your time if you have a break between main story missions.
