Bad Blood Walkthrough
Night has fallen (Night 1). The "Bad Blood" quest follows the events from the previous evening at the Church. During the "Sacred Covenant" quest and the Blood Mass, Pieter decides to follow Vladimir's plan. They head out to the Silver Mines to extract the silver needed to fight the Vrakhiri.
You have 5 Time Segments left before dawn to finish this quest. You should have no trouble getting it done.
After a cutscene showing the events in the Silver Mines, Coen wakes up wounded and with no memory of what just happened.
As you move through the mine:
- Loot everything you find.
- Check every room using Focus Mode and [Inspect] all highlighted items.
Upper Level of the Silver Mines
- Talk to Vladimir and start looking for Pieter in the mine.
- Aid Ludwig.
- When you run into Kostel, try to help him. Make sure to avoid the [give in to the hunger] option until you run out of dialogue choices.
- No matter how hard you fight it, you will end up biting Kostel anyway. This triggers a vision revealing that Brencis took your father back to the village.
- Kostel pushes you down to the Lower Level of the Silver Mines.
Lower Level of the Silver Mines
- Find a way back up.
- Follow the corridors toward the exit. Keep exploring and picking up loot.
- You encounter Kobolds, the underground dwellers. You must defeat them.
- You learn to use the Shadowstep skill.
- You learn to use Voracious Bite to restore health.
- You learn to use the Planeshift and Ceiling Planeshift skills.
- You exit the mine.
Out of the Silver Mines
- You learn to use the Clawride skill.
- You need to head to the village. Right after taking a few steps, you receive the "Find Vladimir" objective.
- You run into soldiers. Try out [give in to the hunger] on them and kill them. If you agree to return to the village with them, you will fail to save Vladimir.
- Focus on finding Vladimir. Make sure you have maximum health before approaching the hut.
- Vladimir is trapped inside a burning building. Kill the soldiers outside and talk to him.
- If you lose control during the conversation and pick [give in to the hunger], you will kill Vladimir. Be very careful here. If you end the fight with the soldiers extremely thirsty, healing during the dialogue becomes very hard. Use "Tainted Marrow" near the end of the fight (you should have found two portions in the Silver Mines) or drink a Portion of Blood from your inventory.
- Walk with Vladimir to the cliff above the village and talk to him.
- Go to the village.
- The scene ends in a fight against Brencis. Your chances of winning are slim, though technically possible.
- If you actually manage to kill Brencis right now, you end the game early. Realistically, he defeats you and nails you to a tree to burn in the sun. But you do not die.
This concludes the "Bad Blood" quest and the Prologue (Night 1).
Quest Lore & Objectives
We went to the mines to go get silver ore for the rebellion - but Brencis caught wind of our plans and attacked. I was wounded, I passed out - I don't remember what happened afterwards. All I know is that my father went missing and I need to find him.
- Search for your father deeper in the mine
- Aid Ludwig
- Help Kostel
- Find a way back up
- Use vrakhiri skills to cross the precipice
- Leave the mine
- Return to Laslea and save your family
- Find Vladimir
- Talk with Vladimir
- Defeat Brencis
I failed to stop Brencis. He toyed with me like a cat tormenting a mouse - and then left me out in the open, to burn in the sun. Only - I didn't. Why?
