Smoke and Ashes Walkthrough
The "Smoke and Ashes" quest wraps up the Prologue of The Blood of Dawnwalker and opens up the open world. It starts right after your fight with Brencis in the "Bad Blood" quest.
This is not a hard quest. You wake up inside Anca's Hut in Laslea Glen. It is morning.
- Walk with Anca to the village and see what is left after the night attack.
- Talk to Anca in the middle of the village.
- Search your family home. Investigate the clues you find along the way and inside the house.
- Return to Anca. She teaches you Compel Soul , a skill that lets you talk to the dead.
- Use Compel Soul on the dead soldier.
- To make Compel Soul work better, you need to gather three items linked to the soldier from around the corpse: a Trampled Apple, Brencis's Banner, and a Drinking Gourd.
- Show these items to the dead soldier during Compel Soul. You learn that your family and the other villagers were taken to Greifberg Castle.
- Bury the bodies of the fallen.
- Talk to Anca.
- Unlock the village gate.
- Talk to Anca again.
- This concludes the "Smoke and Ashes" quest and the Prologue in The Blood of Dawnwalker.
This quest concludes the Prologue. It unlocks two new story quests: "The Firebrand" and "Echoes of Silenced Bells." You can now freely explore all regions.
Before you head out to rest of valley, finish exploring Laslea Glen. Start with the Tower to get a good look at the surrounding area.
