All ‘A Pilgrimage for Power’ sacred stone locations in The Blood of Dawnwalker
Developed over time first seen 2 months ago
Polygon has published a completed walkthrough for The Blood of Dawnwalker's "A Pilgrimage for Power" quest, detailing all four sacred stone locations players must find to complete the lengthy, poorly-signposted task. The guide addresses a genuine design problem: the game gives players little direction toward these stones, offering only two routes to the information — tracking down an NPC who may eventually share it, or consulting external guides such as this one.
The quest can be triggered either by completing the earlier "A Mother's Plea" quest, which rewards players with map markers for all stone locations, or by stumbling on a stone by chance, which leaves the remaining three locations undisclosed. Each of the four sacred stones (including sub-quests dubbed "Bear Trouble," found near Briar Sloughs, and "Dark-Thing," west of Svartrau City) requires following wind-chime trails in focus mode and completing a small trial, such as defeating an enemy, before the stone can be read. Completing each stage awards a Ravenous Flock Manual, and finishing the full quest line allows players to fully upgrade the Ravenous Flock witchcraft ability at any shrine.

Explained simply
The Blood of Dawnwalker is an upcoming role-playing video game developed by Rebel Wolves, a studio founded by former CD Projekt Red developers behind The Witcher series. It is set in a dark fantasy world blending vampires, witchcraft and folklore, and features quests that reward players for exploring and solving puzzles with limited hand-holding.
"A Pilgrimage for Power" is one such quest, requiring players to find four hidden sacred stones across the game's map. Because the game gives few clues about where these stones are located, many players rely on guides from gaming websites, such as Polygon, to complete it without excessive trial and error.
Coverage of this kind reflects how gaming journalism increasingly supports players after a title's release, with sites publishing and updating walkthroughs as more of a game's content is explored and mapped out by players and reporters alike.
