Unveiling All 7 Endings in Blood of Dawnwalker: Your Choices, Your Destiny!

Alright, gamers of PakGamersHub, get ready for a deep dive into one of the most talked-about aspects of The Blood of Dawnwalker: its incredibly diverse and complex ending system. If you thought your decisions in other RPGs had weight, wait until you see how this game twists and turns based on every significant choice you make.

Just like those epic fantasy tales we love, The Blood of Dawnwalker doesn’t hold back, offering a staggering number of outcomes that truly reflect your journey. Be warned, though, because we’re about to venture deep into spoiler territory to lay out every single possible ending and how you can get there. You’ve been warned, so let’s get into it!

The Many Paths to Vale Sangora’s Fate

So, how many ways can your story conclude in this dark fantasy world? Prepare yourselves, because there are a grand total of seven possible endings to discover in The Blood of Dawnwalker! Each one is a direct consequence of your actions, alliances, and even your vampiric nature throughout the game.

These endings can be broadly categorized into a few main types:

• Four endings revolve around the direct assault on Griefberg Castle, where you either charge in alone or with a chosen faction.
• One specific ending involves making a tough deal with the game’s primary antagonist, Brencis.
• The final two endings are secret, offering unique ways to conclude your adventure much earlier or by taking a completely different path.

Interestingly, some elements remain constant regardless of your ending. For instance, the post-credit cutscene always plays, and the fate of Lunka remains the same across all playthroughs. However, almost every ending, save for one secret option, leads into a detailed epilogue sequence, where the true impact of your decisions unfolds. Pro-tip for the epilogue: try to have around 800 Denarius handy for potential donations or a dowry for your sister Yanna!

The Griefberg Castle Showdowns: Variables and Vengeance

A significant portion of the game’s endings culminate in a direct confrontation at Griefberg Castle. But don’t think it’s a simple hack-and-slash affair; your choices beforehand dramatically alter the experience. Here are the key variables that can change your castle assault:

• If characters like Ambrus or Bakir are still alive, be ready to face them as bosses within the castle. Bakir might even force you to fight prisoners!
• Did you eliminate Xanthe earlier? If so, she won’t be a boss in the throneroom, but you’ll still have to navigate her deadly trap sequence, involving more combat and puzzles.
• A crucial element is the 30-day timer. If it runs out, your family’s fate is sealed. While you can continue playing, their absence will deeply affect the epilogue.

Let’s briefly touch upon some of the castle assault variations:

A Lone Wolf’s Hunt: This path sees Coen storming the castle solo. You can either sneak over the walls at night using Shadow Step or enter through a side door during the day if you have Father Florin’s support. You’ll face the Unblinking Blasphemy, free prisoners, and confront Brencis. Here, you can either fight him or make a deal – perhaps betraying Crake and the Manumits, or Lacra. This ending often leads to an independent Vale Sangora, protected by Manumits, but sees the return of both Christianity and the plague.

Rise At Dawn: Partnering with Crake and the Manumits means restoring Catalin Dragosti, the son of the former tyrant. This involves attacking Eastridge Outpost to let his army in, then infiltrating Griefberg Castle through tunnels. Be warned: Catalin is as ruthless as his father, and Crake’s loyalty might be tested. This is considered one of the harsher endings, with Catalin imposing heavy taxes, burning districts, and even orchestrating a genocide of the Uriashi. Crake, shockingly, becomes his instrument.

Midnight Reckoning: Aligning with Lacra involves entering the castle dungeons through ancient ruins to disrupt Brencis’s ritual. This act unleashes chaos, with corpses reanimating and parts of the castle being torn apart. Your family will be at risk, overgrown with red roots. You’ll confront Brencis with Lacra, and a choice to betray her for your family could lead to a different outcome. This ending also results in an independent Vale Sangora, but the castle remains a cursed hellscape, and many lives are lost.

Alternative Fates: Deals and Secrets

Not every ending requires a full-frontal assault. Some involve more cunning, and others, a complete change of heart:

A Deal With The Devil: This ending requires you to reach max infamy by eliminating Ambrus, Bakir, and Xanthe. Brencis will then offer to meet you at Shrike’s Crag, offering a deal for your family’s freedom: find and mark the Manumit hideout. While you can fight Brencis here (and battle ghosts simultaneously), agreeing to his terms means Brencis will slaughter the Manumits and abduct Crake. The epilogue here sees Brencis ruling with an iron fist, but the plague doesn’t return, and Christianity is permitted in Laslea.

Secret Ending: Leaving Vale Sangora: This is arguably one of the most unique and liberating endings. To achieve it, you need to reach Corruption Level 11 and unlock the second level of Shadow Dweller in your vampirism tree, enhancing your Shadow Step distance. Head to the Cursed Chasm in northwest Briar Sloughs, use your advanced Shadow Step to cross a broken bridge, and follow the road out of the valley. You’ll then be given the choice to abandon Vale Sangora forever and forge a new life with your vampiric powers. No epilogue here, just a clean break!

Secret Ending: Killing Brencis in the Prologue: Yes, you read that right. It’s incredibly difficult, even on the lowest difficulty, but if you manage to defeat Brencis’s initial form and then his Grotesque Ascendent form in the game’s prologue, you can end the story right there. While impressive, many players feel the reward isn’t quite worth the monumental challenge, and the resulting epilogue is understandably very short, as you haven’t truly engaged with the main questline.

The Echoes of Your Actions: The Epilogue Explained

For most endings, the game provides a compelling epilogue set in a rebuilt Laslea, where the villagers prepare for winter. This section is a masterclass in showcasing the consequences of your intricate choices, with various characters appearing, different proclamations posted around town, and tableaus illustrating the outcomes of specific quests.

Here’s a quick rundown of what the epilogue tracks:

• Your Family: Their presence depends on whether you saved them within the 30-day timer and if Anca’s medicine was correctly made. Lunka’s fate, however, is sealed – she’s corrupted and eventually leaves the valley with Coen.
• Svartrau, The Plague, and the Uriashi: The city’s status (independent, Vrakhiri-controlled, or sacked), the Uriashi’s fate (retreat or stay), and the return or absence of the plague are all tied to Brencis’s ultimate power.
• Anca: Whether she stays in Laslea, accepted by villagers, or leaves in search of a cure depends on if you allowed her to use The Font.
• Crake and the Manumits: They might protect an independent Vale Sangora, execute a genocide under Catalin Dragosti, or be killed by Brencis, all depending on your alliances.
• Lacra: She either moves on to new adventures or is tragically killed by Brencis and sent to Anachora, based on your interactions and final choices.
• Father Florin: He can be canonized as a saint or publicly executed, a stark reflection of Brencis’s influence.
• Other Quest Outcomes: The epilogue also touches upon the fate of St. Tyna’s Convent, the resolution of the Svartrau murders, the well-being of Vicho, the fate of the Kobold hive, and even Xanthe and Chariklea’s twisted relationship if you spared them.

The Blood of Dawnwalker truly shines in its commitment to player agency, making each playthrough feel unique. For Pakistani gamers who appreciate deep storytelling and impactful decisions, this game offers immense replay value. Knowing that your choices genuinely shape the world, from the fate of your family to the balance of power in Vale Sangora, makes every moment spent in this grim world intensely personal and engaging.
