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.
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.- SvartrauSvartrau is the capital of Vale Sangora, the city at the center of the valley. It has the most vendors, three scouting towers and Greifberg Castle, so you will keep coming back.
Good to know
- It includes a cinematic with Brencis.
- Difficulty markers apply during it.
- Catalin starts it at the tunnel entrances in Svartrau City after Rise at Dawn.
- If you finished Hive and Seek, you can talk the kobolds in the tunnels down instead of fighting.
- Boyars you have not beaten yet replace minibosses inside, so clear them first.
- Save by hand first, because the epilogue ends free roam.
How it starts
Finish Crake's questline up to Rise at Dawn. Catalin then leads the attack, starting in the tunnels under Svartrau City.
What you do
Clear the tunnels, climb into the crypt and fight through the courtyard into the castle. Reach the throne room, chase Brencis and corner him. Bakir and Ambrus appear as minibosses if you left them alive.
What happensSpoilerShow
Xanthe helps you if you made a deal with her, and fights you if you did not. Choosing to negotiate with Brencis inside the 30 days with your family alive gives The Turncoat. Defying him leads to the fight and The Knyazmaker.
