Dawnwalker collectibles

Blood Surge

Blood Surge is a night-only Vampirism ability that makes a target burst from the inside through their own blood. You unlock it by drinking Xanthe's blood, so it is tied to her questline.

Compel Soul

Compel Soul is the first Witchcraft hex Coen learns, from Anca, after Laslea is sacked. It makes the recently dead replay the moments before they died, which is how you crack many investigations.

Crimson Rush

Crimson Rush is a Vampirism power that makes your active abilities hit harder the healthier you are. It is open from the start, so you only need Corruption and skill points to learn it.

Mesmerise

Mesmerise is a Vampirism power that lets you take control of an enemy's mind. You unlock it with Lacra's blood during The Night of Horrors, so it comes from story progress.

Piercing Shriek

Piercing Shriek is a Vampirism power that stuns enemies with a banshee-like scream. You unlock it with Brencis's blood, either from a phial in Xanthe's Recruiters: Taste of Power or at the end of Our Rotten Roots.

Scarlet Shield

Scarlet Shield is a passive Vampirism power that heals you when you land a perfect block. You unlock it with Ambrus's blood, so plan your Ambrus quests around it.

Shadowstep

Shadowstep turns you into black mist and red moths for a moment, so you cover distance almost instantly. At night it is your main way up walls and towers.

Shamanism

Shamanism is nature magic used by Uriash elders, drawing on fog and lightning. Coen can learn it in the Pilgrimage of Power questline by finding glyphs carved into stone monuments.

Witchcraft

Witchcraft is blood magic cast by carving runes into your skin and drawing your own blood. It is Coen's daytime spell tree, unlocked through Anca and grown with magic manuals.

Wolf Form

Wolf Form lets Coen shift into a wolf at night to move faster across Vale Sangora. Coen has no horse, so this is your main way to cover ground after dark.
