How to Complete Age of Excuse Quest in Tainted Grail The Fall of Avalon
Image via: Awaken Realms In the land of Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon,not all quests are grand battles or treasure hunts. Sometimes the greatest journeys are intimately human, wrapped in insanity and sorrow. Age of Excuse is one such side quest, hidden along the periphery of King's Road, where paranoia and superstition merge in the delicate mind of a cursed knight. If you're looking to snag Soulstone, and some extra XP too (900 to be exact), this brief yet multi-faceted side quest is definitely worth the diversion. A Knight Under a Bridge The adventure starts in a location that wouldn't be out of place in a Shakespearean comedy—beneath a bridge, where you'll discover Berach, a knight convinced he's cursed. His circumstances seem desperate. His horse shot, his equipment abandoned or stolen, and he has just escaped death at the hands of a crashing boulder. Convinced he's being pursued by bad luck or maybe something worse, Berach is in a race against time. Get these events on your radar, and help us amplify them by sharing frequently on your channels! Part therapist, part errand-runner, part apothecary. Age of Excuse – Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon So, if you find yourself in conversation with Berach, watch your moves. He's volatile and deal with him the right way and a deep conversation with your child could turn into a brawl. Choose to empathize and be curious: express concern, inquire about the curse, and offer to help without condemnation. In Search of the Druid's Wisdom Your next stop is the elusive Druid Drest, who lives at a shrine southwest of the Horns of the South. Reaching him takes some adventure of its own—traveling south down the coastline, then west until you uncover a fog-draped cliffside hideaway, where the man himself awaits. To say that Drest is an eccentric character is an understatement. His clarity of vision slices through the haze of Berach's ill luck. As the druid explains, there is no curse—just the knight's growing madness. He suggests a way forward: an anti-racist ritual of the making of what he calls the 'Disgusting Potion.' It's easy enough to make the potion if you have at least a little alchemical expertise, and its real magic is in the con—it's a placebo potent enough to fool Berach into thinking the curse is gone. Two Paths: Belief or Brutality When you return to Berach with the potion, you encounter a moral dilemma. You can try and help him find the truth, assuring him that he's not cursed. Attempt it, and his paranoia reaches a breaking point. He turns on you in a furious fit. If you kill him, the quest fails. Or just provide the potion to him and enact the ritual fake-out. He's convinced it worked. Fear is replaced by relief, and the quest ends on a high note with some sweet bonuses: 900 XP and a rare Soulstone! Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon - Launch Trailer | PS5 Games More than simple filler content, Age of Excuse is going to come as a refreshing change of pace. It is a gentle jab at the power of faith which walks the line between reality and madness. Triggered along with the rest of Avalon by the aftershocks of environmental disaster and trauma, Berach's fragile mental state is both a symptom of and a response to the greater decay of Avalon — a world where magic, madness, and myth intermingle with abandon. When you complete the quest, you're not just rewarded with some loot—you're participating in the telling of a story. One in which intimacy eclipses indignation, and where confrontation is about healing rather than hurting. In the dark, mysterious realm of Tainted Grail, that's an exceptional delight to be celebrated.

How to unlock Life Transfusion Spell in Tainted Grail The Fall of Avalon
(Image via Awaken Realms) Mages in Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon have access to some devastating spells, but there are only a few that are as versatile as the Life Transfusion spell. It doesn't just offer offense but also has a rare ability that allows you to drain enemies' health for personal healing. It is perfect for survival within the brutal world of Avalon. However, to secure it, players must delve into one of Avalon's most unsettling locations. Here is exactly where you will be able to find it and how you can make the most out of the spell. Where to find Life Transfusion Spell in Tainted Grail The Fall of Avalon ? The journey of players to get the spell begins at Blood Lake (the crimson stain on the map) on Horns of the South's southeast. The crimson waters here are hard to miss, with the towering statue rising from the center. Just ensure to ignore the statue unless you want the Blood Transfusion spell, and dive right beneath the surface. Beat Blood Abomination Boss FAST with These Tainted Grail Tips Swim past the statue and find the underwater staircase that will lead you to the Blood Cave. There, fight through the Marrowghasts and Mallory (determined NPC guarding the way) and ensure you defeat the Blood Abomination boss—keep the focus on breaking the boss's protective Ward and then dodge the fiery attacks of his when landing your blows. Beyond it, you will find the hidden chamber with the chest that contains the Life Transfusion spell, the key to sustainable combat. Master dual effects of the Life Transfusion spell in Tainted Grail The Fall of Avalon Life Transfusion spell perfectly shines through the dual-casting nature of its. Light Cast is the offensive opener. It fires the projectile, costing 10 Health and dealing 6 damage. It also inflicts debilitating Bleed status on the target. It is perfect to initiate combat or to apply damage-over-time pressure. T he true power is in Heavy Cast. The channeled ability can drain 4 health every second from the target while you continue to heal—it costs 15 mana per second. It can transform you into a relentless force during prolonged fights, especially when healing potions remain scarce or are against tougher single targets. It will prove to be your lifeline when you get cornered or face enemies who refuse to take the fall quickly. Use the Life Transfusion Spell strategically The spell demands smart management of resources. To rely solely on heavy cast could drain mana rapidly. Ensure that you weave it strategically—use Light Cast to apply the Bleed effect and then chip away the health from a range. Close in for the Heavy Cast, when you will need significant healing or to finish the weakened and dangerous foe. It is quite invaluable as against the elite enemies/bosses, where both sustained damage and self-preservation remain paramount. Do not hesitate to use Heavy Cast reactively if health plummets unexpectedly. It can create all the difference between a reload and a victory. Also, while potent, do remember the mana cost. Carry enough potions or invest in the efficiency of mana to ensure you can leverage its power when it matters. The spell will reward the tactical and aggressive play, turning the enemies into vitality's unwilling source.

How to Complete Dead as Dreams Quest in Tainted Grail The Fall of Avalon
Image via: Awaken Realms In Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon, quests have their own way of presenting ethical dilemmas, whirlwind player instincts, and delve into deeper lore. One such "Dead as Dreams" is a special case as it begins with an undead infestation only to morph into something far more complicated. It is not merely a battle against rot—it is a philosophical discussion on death, research, and how far to take trust. A Quiet Fire in Forgotten Places After your horrifying escape from the Island Asylum and first meeting with the Keepers, Fearghas wastes no time in bringing you along on the investigation of a new undead threat. His urgency is palpable, and the task itself seems straightforward: find the source of the undead rising near the Forgotten Cemetery and wipe it out. But the journey starts around a quiet campfire. Sitting among crumbling ruins is Margh, your contact and guide into the depths of this strange affair. Margh sets the tone-not one of dread, but one of weariness. Dead As Dreams Quest (Forgotten Cemetery) - Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon It is in the cemetery crypt where the quest starts tumbling off the rails. After hurling your way through waves of skeletons and corpse eaters, you find an unexpected companion: Huardoc, a sentient undead and caretaker of the place The true target is not some evil being, but an enigma: Yorath, the necromancer. He is not raising an army, as the Keepers fear, but rather pondering how death can serve the living. Yorath is not immediately hostile but rather enables one of the deepest dialogue opportunities in the entire game. Calm, articulate, and disturbingly rational. Consequences of Choice If fighting is your choice, Yorath is formidable, summoning skeletons and casting strong spells: Use cover and ranged attacks to survive. Should you, however, spare Yorath, whether out of curiosity, sympathy, or reward for necromantic knowledge, you will come to learn some unique necromancer spells and receive a different narrative outcome. Yet, deception comes at a price. You may lie to Fearghas, thereby preserving the fragile peace, or you may tell the truth and suffer consequences from the Keepers. Killing Yorath once he's been persuaded is another option—one cold consideration that reflects the game's greater themes of survival versus morality. Dead as Dreams – Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon The concluding task sees the unusual bond between master and servant honored. Now free of service, Huardoc demands you bury Yorath's remains, an act which grants entrance into the Hall of Necromancers - a hidden hall of crypts, alchemical supplies, and ancient artifacts. This closing moment perfectly encapsulates what makes Dead as Dreams so compelling.

How to Start The Last Voyage Quest in Tainted Grail The Fall of Avalon
Image via: Awaken Realms There is no shortage of complex quests filled with ethical ambiguity and cryptic lore. Yet in the midst of all that moral grey, we find The Last Voyage — a side quest that lends itself to exploration over puzzles. What begins as a simple conversation in a quiet village tavern soon spirals into the unknown, where shipwrecks, ghostly foes, and lost relics await. Getting Started: A Mysterious Book and a Lady's Request Words, not swords or spells, mark the start of your journey. Lady Elaine is an enigmatic character tucked away inside Ron's Tavern in the Horns of the South. After an intriguing slice of conversation regarding your very own character's background, she hands you a book to read. Do not skim it; Elaine will demand that you answer, and only the correct answers will win her trust. The Last Voyage Quest Walkthrough - Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon Satisfied, she will birth forth the legend of the Andraste, a ship lost at sea and its cargo coveted by rumor of an ancient relic. The location of the wreck is lost to her, but she does suggest that you pay a visit to the museum in the nearby Fortress and have a chat with a man named Rhydderic. From Tavern to Treasure Hunt: The Search for the Andraste Rhydderic at the museum in the Horns of the South Fortress guides you to the watery grave of the Andraste—off Smuggler's Bay. The actual wreck lies below the waves, but hard searching will surely lead you to the sunken remains of the vessel Beneath the Temple: Cavern of Secrets and Final Confrontation Your destination is at the foot of the cliff near The All Mother's Temple. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Switch to UnionBank Rewards Card UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo The cave's entrance is concealed, and the descent is a darker one. Be prepared inside to engage the Drowners—restless sea-corpses who protect the remnants of that place. Further in is the climax of the quest: a terrible boss battle against the "Scourge of the Seas," a giant horror made of salt and bone. Your reward for slaying him is the Tidepiercer, a worthy weapon carrying the full weight of the quest. The Last Voyage – Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon The chamber might appear to house a tremendously huge statue. But upon closer inspection, it is not art: a half-buried skeleton of a Fore Dweller—the obscure race of beings who once conditioned Avalon. This is the relic Lady Elaine was after, tying the quest into the broader theme of lost knowledge and ancient powers in the game. Why Does This Quest Matter Though The Last Voyage may lack the moral questions other chapters of Tainted Grail contain, it is strong on atmosphere and world-building. It is a classic treasure-hunting tale that becomes a tribute to the lore of Avalon while offering players a closed narrative filled with mystery, danger, and worthy loot. For players wishing to take a break from weighty decisions to engage in an old-fashioned relic hunt, The Last Voyage promises a nice respite from the road to Avalon's unraveling.

How to use Wyrd Soul Power in Tainted Grail The Fall of Avalon?
(Image via Awaken Realms) In Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon, your survival hinges on mastering the mystical systems and the Wyrd Soul Power, which is pulsing beneath the health bar. It's a mysterious blue reservoir of high potential. The potent energy provides a crucial edge to you in the harsh battles of Avalon, unleashing some unique abilities that are tailored to the player's path. To understand how and when this force can be harnessed separates the survivors and fallen. Here is how you can command the power and dominate Avalon's cursed lands. How to activate Wyrd Soul Power in Tainted Grail The Fall of Avalon ? Tainted Grail How To Use & Recharge Wyrd Soul Power & What Does Wyrd Soul Power Do In Tainted Grail Activating Wyrd Soul Power is a simple yet transformative process. Watch the blue meter for the health bar. As it reaches the max capacity, press T, the default key for unleashing the powerful class-specific ability. The warriors might trigger the devastating slam, while the mages can slow down the time or even summon the arcane explosions. The rogue can even blur through time, ensuring that some precious moments are gained for striking or repositioning. The effect can vary depending on the build. So, experiment and learn the unique edge of your character. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 3BHK Transformation Possible for ₹4.5 Lakh? HomeLane Get Quote Undo Remember, your timing is quite critical here. Save it for the overwhelming fights—like swarms of enemies or the boss battles, but do not hoard the same indefinitely. The ability will reset after the use. So, to waste it on the weaker foes will leave you completely vulnerable when its use actually matters the most. Maintain the power by recharging and managing Wyrd Soul Power Filling the meter relies on bonfire rituals or combat. Landing the hits or taking damage and defeating the enemies will gradually charge the power. The passive recharge keeps the power ticking over during skirmishes and explorations. But the process will slow. To have instant refills, burn Ethereal Cobwebs at bonfires, the smart move before you tackle the dungeons or the strong foes. The Ethereal Cobwebs are not rare—don't hoard them and use your power effectively to get opportunities to find them. Each Cobweb, when consumed, can instantly max out the Wyrd Soul meter. Give priority to recharging before the high-stakes encounter and also scavenge them from the Wyrd-corrupted enemies during the foggy nights. Balancing aggression in combat combined with smart resource management can keep your power ready when you need it. Advanced tactics for the Wyrd Soul dominance Pair the ability with the Wyrdness, the dynamic fog mechanic of the game. To trigger the cursed mist will strengthen the enemies, but it will boost the Cobweb drops that are ideal for the farming fuel for Soul Power. The high-risk and high-reward playstyle will thrive here. Upgrade the gear to synergize with the Wyrd ability. If your attack speed is boosted, equip the items that enhance the critical strikes. A right build can turn the feature from the last resort to the cornerstone of the combat strategy. Remember, Wyrd Soul Power is not just any flashy skill but a lifeline in the brutal world of Avalon. To learn the power's rhythm and to exploit its synergies right, no enemy will be able to stand in your way for much longer.
