Good Home Come Hither Burrow Sorrows Pearly and Precious Tiny Dancer
The route shown in this video costs 9 time segments total, while the final reward gives you +1 full day, or 16 time segments. That means this route gives a net gain of 7 time segments rather than simply refunding the time spent completing the quests.
There are also several valuable rewards and optional pickups along the way.
During Come Hither, you can obtain a Bundle of Silk Threads, one of the materials required for crafting the Legendary Arbiter armor set.
Completing Pearly and Precious unlocks the Sanzhana merchant. In my route, this is where I obtain the Legendary Fear of the Wilds and Slicer's Ring.
During Good Home, I also mention the optional route toward Oghasti. Following that content can eventually lead to the Razkovniche Elixir, a permanent potion that increases maximum Human Health by 20% and maximum Vampiric Health by 10%. I do not show the full Oghasti route in this video.

Unlike most Legendary items, the Amulet of Crimson Steel does not have a single fixed world location. It can appear as random Legendary stock at multiple vendors.
In my footage, Vicho had the Amulet of Crimson Steel available in his shop, but Vicho is not the guaranteed source. His inventory simply shows one possible RNG vendor appearance.
Important things to know:
Amulet of Crimson Steel is random vendor loot It can appear at multiple merchants Vicho can sell it, but his inventory is not guaranteed to contain it Do not treat Vicho as the fixed location Check Legendary vendor inventories as you progress through the game The item level and numerical stats may vary depending on when you find it
This guide shows what the Amulet of Crimson Steel looks like in a real vendor inventory and explains how its random vendor acquisition works.Isbrand’s Plate Location | Hive and Seek Legendary Armor Guide | The Blood of DawnwalkerLukeCanWin Guides2026-09-16 | How to get Isbrand’s Plate in The Blood of Dawnwalker during Hive and Seek.

The chest is extremely close to Isbrand, so the main requirement is simply progressing far enough through Hive and Seek to reach him.
This guide shows the exact Isbrand’s Plate location, the chest containing it, and where to find it during Hive and Seek.

Unlike the Amulet of Crimson Steel, which can appear as random vendor stock, the Corrupted Ring is a fixed Vicho item once his shop is available.
This guide shows the Vicho vendor location, the quest requirement, and where to buy the Corrupted Ring.

The Lunar Game becomes available after raising Bakir’s anger through his Court Activities. Before the tournament begins, you can interact with the other contestants and make choices that affect how difficult the game becomes.
This walkthrough covers:
- How to start The Lunar Game - Best time to arrive and avoid a long forced wait - The Porcupine choices - The Marten choices - How to poison The Cockroach - The Lunar Game maze - Bakir dialogue choices - How to isolate Bakir for the fight - Bakir boss fight - How to drain Bakir for a Shadowstorm Vampiric Ability upgrade - Bakir’s Armour Legendary location - Vrakhiric Bracers Legendary location - Bakir’s Treasury - Farkas and The Ring follow-up quest - Ring with a Purple Gem location - Quick Fighter’s Ring reward from Anca
In my playthrough, arriving at exactly 5 time segments into the day allowed me to begin the quest without waiting. When I arrived at night, the game wanted me to wait 13 time segments instead.
Bakir’s Armour is obtained from Bakir after defeating him.
The Vrakhiric Bracers are found in a fixed chest inside Bakir’s Treasury during the quest.
After The Lunar Game, I also complete The Ring for Farkas. I chose to keep the dangerous ring instead of returning it to him, then took it to Anca and had her destroy it. This rewarded me with the Epic Quick Fighter’s Ring.
If you are trying to complete The Lunar Game, defeat Bakir, find Bakir’s Armour, get the Vrakhiric Bracers, obtain the Shadowstorm upgrade, or complete The Ring and get the Quick Fighter’s Ring, this walkthrough covers the full route.A Bulwark Against Darkness Guide | All 4 Materials + Enhanced Arbiter Set | The Blood of DawnwalkerLukeCanWin Guides2026-09-15 | How to complete A Bulwark Against Darkness and get the full Enhanced Arbiter armour set in The Blood of Dawnwalker.

Vicho’s Cross is a choice-dependent fixed quest reward, so it can be permanently missed depending on how you resolve Vicho’s final fate.
To get Vicho’s Cross:
Progress A Study in Crimson Reach Vicho’s final resolution SAVE FIRST Choose the friendly / non-hostile outcome Keep Vicho alive Vicho’s Cross appears directly on the quest-completion reward screen
If you take the hostile route where you call Vicho a monster and agree to wait until sunrise, Vicho is killed by sunlight and Vicho’s Cross is not awarded.
Vicho also becomes a trader earlier in A Study in Crimson, where he sells the fixed Corrupted Ring, but Vicho’s Cross itself is specifically tied to the friendly quest-completion outcome.Mysterious Bracelet Location | The Price of Magic Quest Guide | The Blood of DawnwalkerLukeCanWin Guides2026-09-14 | How to complete The Price of Magic and get the Mysterious Bracelet in The Blood of Dawnwalker.

The Vrakhir can be found during The Night of Horrors and is only a short distance inside the area. This guide shows the exact map location, the entrance, the route to the Vrakhiri body, and how to collect the Legendary weapon.
One important detail is that you need to interact with the body twice. The first interaction does not give you The Vrakhir, so make sure you interact again to collect the weapon.
This guide shows:

This complete Vampire Blood guide covers:
Phial of Brencis’s Blood Found during Beast of Balaur inside the Mount Balaur cave, on the same route where you can obtain the Legendary Gladius. Unlocks Piercing Shriek.
Phial of Xanthe’s Blood Found inside the Svartrau Cathedral Treasury while progressing the cathedral route connected to Night Terrors and A Monk and a Saint. Unlocks Blood Surge.
Phial of Ambrus’s Blood Obtained during Xanthe’s Recruiters: Just a Bit More after defeating the Blood Guards and collecting the blood from the ornate chest. Unlocks Scarlet Shield.
Phial of Bakir’s Blood Obtained during Xanthe’s Recruiters: Come Home after defeating the Blood Guards and collecting the blood from the ornate chest. Unlocks Shadowstorm.
Phial of Lacra’s Blood Obtained through The Night of Horrors. Unlocks Mesmerise.
Lacra’s blood works differently from the other four. If you complete her romance route, Coen can drink directly from Lacra and unlock Mesmerise without keeping the physical Phial of Lacra’s Blood. I also show the alternate route where you can keep the physical phial if you want to collect all five Vampire Blood Phials at the same time.
This guide covers Brencis, Xanthe, Ambrus, Bakir and Lacra, along with Beast of Balaur, Mount Balaur, Gladius, Svartrau Cathedral Treasury, Night Terrors, A Monk and a Saint, Xanthe’s Recruiters: Just a Bit More, Xanthe’s Recruiters: Come Home, The Night of Horrors, Piercing Shriek, Blood Surge, Scarlet Shield, Shadowstorm and Mesmerise.

Both Legendaries are sold by merchants in the Svartrau / Altenmarkt area and are guaranteed vendor stock rather than random Legendary shop rolls.
This guide shows:
Exact vendor location for Mercenary’s Greaves Exact vendor location for The Runner-Up Where each merchant is on the map Which item is fixed and which parts of the remaining shop inventory are RNG The Legendary item cards after purchase
If you’re collecting every Legendary item in The Blood of Dawnwalker, these are two of the easier guaranteed vendor Legendaries to pick up once you reach the area.

The Mercenary’s Boots are a fixed Legendary item sold by the armourer inside the Manumit headquarters. They are not random loot and do not depend on a shop reroll.
The important part is unlocking access to the Manumit headquarters first.
In my playthrough, I gained access by progressing the Manumit questline through:
The Firebrand → Shadows in the Woods → joining the Manumits
Once you have access:
Travel to the Manumit headquarters Find the armourer Open the merchant inventory Purchase the Mercenary’s Boots

The Prizewinner is a fixed Legendary item sold by Nareh, the Uriashi blacksmith at Uriashi Hermitage. It is not random vendor loot, but Nareh is progression-gated and will not trade with you at the beginning of the game.
You need to progress Forge It Anew and collect the 3 Sword Shards to reach the point where Nareh becomes available as the Uriashi blacksmith. On a fresh Day 1 save, she simply tells you to leave.
I already have a separate guide showing the locations of all 3 Sword Shards for Do Not Disturb, Hostile Takeover, and Executive Order, which I’ll link below.
Once Nareh is unlocked:
Travel to Uriashi Hermitage Speak with Nareh Open her shop Purchase The Prizewinner
The Prizewinner is a guaranteed fixed vendor Legendary, so you do not need to rely on random loot or shop RNG.

The Elder’s Amulet is obtained from the Matriarch / Bakr Clan Elder during the hostile route of Song of the Mountain. This guide shows the confrontation, hostile outcome, Matriarch fight, and where to loot the Legendary amulet.
SAVE FIRST: choosing the hostile outcome has permanent consequences. It removes the Uriashi/Bakr village NPCs and vendors and locks you out of A Mother’s Plea, so this is not the route I would recommend for a normal playthrough unless you specifically want the Elder’s Amulet or plan to reload afterward.

Forge It Anew starts automatically when you collect any Sword Shard. In the first cave, you can also inspect the wall painting to reveal the locations of the other two shards on your map.

The Phial of Brencis's Blood significantly increases Corruption when consumed, but grants access to Piercing Shriek in the Vampirism tree.
Piercing Shriek is a night-only Vampirism ability that stuns enemies in front of Coen, weakens their Defence and Attack Damage, and causes blocked attacks to reflect damage back at them.
Quest: The Beast of Balaur Location: Mount Balaur cave Main Reward: Legendary Gladius Additional Rewards: Phial of Brencis's Blood, Piercing Shriek, Unholy Fervour Manual, Recipe for Vrakhiri Attunement

Home Sweet Home traps Coen inside a repeating dream. You must complete the first loop, then during the second loop use Focus Mode to investigate the well instead of continuing toward another reset.
During the church memory, interact with the characters in this exact order:

The early unlock route is through Into the Den. Complete the quest and loot the hidden cache to obtain the Letter With a Tip, then visit the Silver Trader in Svartrau City and choose:
“I know you trade in silver.”
This unlocks his shop and lets you sell illegal silver valuables that normal merchants will not buy.
Into the Den rewards include:
100 XP Letter With a Tip Artisan’s Tunic Rebel’s Falchion Sword Turnip
There is also an alternate unlock method by reaching Infamy Level 4 / Notorious, but Into the Den is the earlier route and avoids raising Infamy just to access the merchant.
I also show a large silver stockpile slightly northwest of Svartrau City at the waterfall location where you can also obtain the Legendary Arbiter’s Medallion. This is a useful place to grab valuable silver once the Silver Trader is unlocked.
The Silver Trader can also roll high-quality and Legendary items in his inventory, but specific Legendary appearances should not be treated as guaranteed fixed stock.The Blood of Dawnwalker - Legendary Mindbrace Amulet Location | Malevolent Presence GuideLukeCanWin Guides2026-09-07 | How to get the Legendary Mindbrace Amulet in The Blood of Dawnwalker.
