The Blood of Dawnwalker Wiki & Database

Coen carries three sword types in The Blood of Dawnwalker, each in a weight of its own, alongside clothing for six slots that trades toughness against the weight he can bear. Consumables, ingredients and the recipes that turn one into the other cover everything brewed at a campfire, and manuals teach the perks no trainer will. Every item rolls from Common up to Legendary, and its stats scale with the level it drops at.

Every marked place in The Blood of Dawnwalker sits somewhere in the valley, from Svartrau City and the Silts to the woods and wealds around them. Shrines, monster lairs, bandit camps, haunted sites, merchants and quest starts all carry their own pin, and each region holds its own share of them. Fast travel runs between the shrines alone, so the ones already lit decide how far a single night reaches.

• The Silts 54 locations
• Tantari Woods 44 locations
• Rockfalls 41 locations

The Blood of Dawnwalker runs on a clock: every quest costs time out of the thirty nights Coen has to save his family, so what gets done matters as much as how. Main quests carry the story, side quests dig into the people of the valley, and open world activities are the smaller jobs scattered across it. Many of them only open by day or only by night, and several end more than one way.

• Main Quests 29 quests
• Side Quests 32 quests
• Open World Activities 143 activities

The valley of The Blood of Dawnwalker is held by soldiers, headhunters and bandits by day and by the things that hunt them after dark.

• Bosses 24 bosses

• Animals 4 bestiary entries
• Supernatural 20 bestiary entries

Coen levels into three trees in The Blood of Dawnwalker: Swordmastery for the blade, Vampirism for what the curse gives him, and Witchcraft for the craft his mother left behind. Perks are the passive nodes that shape a build and the ultimates that cap each tree, while abilities are the ones bound to a button. Points are finite, and leaning into Vampirism carries a cost of its own.

• Swordmastery perks 22 perks
• Swordmastery abilities 7 abilities
• Vampirism perks 20 perks
• Vampirism abilities 10 abilities
• Witchcraft perks 21 perks
• Witchcraft abilities 10 abilities

• Characters 53 entries
• Locations 11 entries
• Legends 17 entries
