How to Complete Dead as Dreams Quest in Tainted Grail The Fall of Avalon

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.
