‘A Bulwark Against Darkness’ quest walkthrough in The Blood of Dawnwalker
– Polygon's guide explains how to unlock and complete "A Bulwark Against Darkness", a quest in the game The Blood of Dawnwalker that rewards players with the legendary heavy Arbiter's Armor set.– The quest becomes available once the player reaches infamy level 4 ("notorious"), triggering a mysterious letter delivered either by a courier in Svartrau City or by the character Anca at the Crossroads Inn.– The letter includes a "List of armor components" detailing four rare items needed to craft the armour: a relic of a saint, the moult of a large lizard, a bundle of silk threads, and a flask of quicksilver.– A saint's relic (ideally the "Saint's Tibia") is the easiest to find, as many in-game objects with "Saint" or "St." in their name qualify, though the chosen relic must be sacrificed.– The lizard's moult is hidden in a cave east of the Muddy Trail shrine, guarded by creatures called tatzelwurms, and may overlap with a separate quest line involving characters Ambrus and Iulian Codrin.– The flask of quicksilver is located at the top of Silts Tower (Aurelius' Tower) south-west of Svartrau City, which may involve combat with soldiers, a miniboss named Svetlana, and a guardian winged monster, though stealth via "Shadowstep" can bypass most fights.
In short
