Found in
- AnachoraAnachora is a dark, hell-like realm where vampires and their kind go when they die. A feared entity lives there and devours their souls, and its red moths and vines leak into Vale Sangora.
- Carpathian MountainsThe Carpathian Mountains are the range that surrounds Vale Sangora. You never leave the valley, but the peaks frame every view and hide places like the Uriash village.
Greifberg CastleGreifberg Castle is Brencis's seat in Svartrau, where Coen's family is held. Entering it starts the ending sequence, so finish your side content before you go in.
Good to know
- It triggers when you enter Greifberg Castle alone, with no quest giver.
- You can climb the wall with Planeshift and Shadowstep, best at night.
- Father Florin's quest In the Name of the Father reveals a side door you can use day or night.
- The Side Gate Key also drops from Georghe, the Rabid Duke, at a Racovitza bandit camp in the east.
- Whether you enter by day or night decides if you play it as human or vampire.
- Shows a difficulty level in the quest log.
How it starts
Just get inside Greifberg Castle without the ending quests from Crake or Lacra running. Scale the wall from the Svartrau side, or use the side door through Father Florin's quest or the Side Gate Key from Georghe.
What you do
Clear the courtyard and a gargoyle miniboss, cross the halls to the throne room, then go down through the dungeons to an underground sanctuary. Boyars you skipped earlier show up along the way, so beating them first makes this easier.
What happensSpoilerShow
Xanthe lets you pass if you made a deal with her, or fights you if you did not. Beating Brencis ends the game with The Folk Hero, followed by an epilogue in Laslea Glen.
Beating Brencis
Burning Blood stuns him for a moment, which helps a lot. In the second phase in Anachora, dodge sideways past his scream and his tentacle swipe. At two health thresholds he grabs you and turns drained boyar phantoms against you.
Objectives
1. Enter the inner keep. 2. Find the throne room. 3. Find Brencis in the dungeons. 4. Find Brencis in the underground sanctuary. 5. Defeat Brencis.
