Navigating Father Florin's Quest and Choices in The Blood of Dawnwalker
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
A comprehensive guide detailing how to complete the 'In the Name of the Father' quest in The Blood of Dawnwalker, including choices regarding Father Florin and securing the Ancient Hero's Armour.
The Blood of Dawnwalker presents players with plenty of complex moral choices, and the 'In the Name of the Father' quest is an early test of your patience. As originally detailed in a guide by Marloes Valentina Stella for Polygon, this mission kicks off in Svartrau Cathedral during the day, where you must let Father Florin take your confession. If the cathedral route is not your style, you can also bypass it entirely by heading straight to his hideout on the west side of the city and dealing with the hostile beggars guarding the door.
Once you reach the underground tunnels and speak with the polarizing priest, you have three distinct paths to choose from. You can agree to his trial, refuse him politely, or draw your sword and take him out permanently. Regardless of whether you side with him or loot the key from his lifeless body, you will need to open the northern door to begin the 'A Hero's End' trial and hunt down the Ancient Hero's Armour. Be warned that the wraith boss fight waiting inside is quite tough, so you will want to level up your character and prepare your gear before diving in.
Deciding whether to ally with Father Florin carries major weight for your progression later in the game. Forming an alliance grants you a valuable hidden shortcut into Greifberg Castle, letting you completely bypass heavy exterior defenses and jump straight into the final confrontation with Brencis. If you prefer to go it alone or choose violence, you miss out on that specific backdoor pass, but the open nature of the game leaves plenty of other strategic paths open for exploration.
