Blood of Dawnwalker Home Sweet Home Walkthrough

Home Sweet Home is a side quest in The Blood of Dawnwalker. This walkthrough will guide you through all objectives of the Home Sweet Home side mission.

• Starting Location: The Silts > enter door at top of “Silts Tower”
• Quest Giver: Silts Tower Door
• Requirement: None, simply enter the door at the top of Silts Tower
• Fail State: None, but if you repeat the quest 4 times you get trapped inside the dream sequence and unlock the secret ending for  Together Forever. To escape back to the open world you have to inspect the well on the second replay where you defeat the second group of enemies, and this is the only way to actually “finish” the quest.
• Reward: Trophy:  Together Forever (Secret Ending if you repeat the quest 4 times) / Legendary Accessory: Astrologer’s Ring (if you escape the dream and loot the enemy that appears)
• Time Required: 4 time segments
• Quest Description: It’s tempting to pretend that this is real. That everything is normal again.

Objectives:

1. Split logs for firewood (Optional)
2. Talk to your family
3. Rescue your family
4. Find out where the voice is coming from
5. Move further into the memory
6. Help the priest recall the sermon
7. Run after the boy
8. Investigate the meadow

Starting Location: Home Sweet Home

This is a hidden unmarked quest, and it also counts as a Xanthe Court Activity “Gargoyle Manufacture”.

In the south-west edge of the map go to the tower “Silts Tower” (the tower you climb to sync the location icons nearby). Enter the door on the ground floor and go through the inside of the tower all the way to the top floor. Interact with the door at the top (costs 4 time segments) to start the quest.

WARNING: It’s highly recommended to keep a MANUAL SAVE before entering the door. This quest is very challenging (especially on Duelist difficulty) and if you’re not strong enough you could get trapped in the dream sequence. If you find it too difficult you can reload your save to respawn back in the open world and do it later.

Split logs for firewood (Optional)

This quest is a dream sequence and starts out with a flashback of the prologue. Just like in the prologue, you can split some logs before entering the house. Skipping this has no negative consequence.

Talk to your family

Enter the house and you’ll get a cutscene. A big insect monster will abduct your family.

Rescue your family

You now must fight through 2 groups of enemies, followed by the insect boss at the end. This is very difficult because you only have very weak equipment. Along the way use Focus Mode (L2/LT) to look for containers where you can loot food items to heal yourself. You can’t use your vampire form during this quest so must consume food to heal and use Witchcraft abilities.

The first group of enemies has 4 red specters wielding swords. Because you’ll do very little damage this fight can take a while. Use Witchcraft abilities such as Burning Blood to deal more damage. Defeating them will rescue your mother.

The second group of enemies consists of 3 specters. Defeating them will rescue your siblings.

At the end you encounter the big insect boss that abducted your family (called “Keeper of Nightmares”). Defeating it rescues your father. It will fly in the air but using Burning Blood witchcraft will make it drop to the ground. Parrying its attacks can also make it drop to the ground. You can still hit it with melee attacks while it’s in the air.

After defeating the boss, you get an alternate cutscene of the Blood Mass from the prologue, and the cycle begins again from the start. You will respawn back in your house and the monster abducts your family again. This is normal here, it’s a looping dream sequence that wants you to replay the same thing again and again.

Find out where the voice is coming from

When you’ve respawned at the start, talk to your family and fight through the monsters again. There are two different outcomes here:

1. Repeating 4 cycles of the dream sequence (defeating the insect boss 4 times) will trigger the secret ending  Together Forever at the start of the 5th cycle when talking to your family. This ending is missable if you were to escape the dream sequence, as the quest isn’t replayable. Keep a save BEFORE beating the insect boss for the 4th time (or simply reload the autosave after the ending).
2. After you got the trophy, to actually complete this activity and return to the normal world, play to the 2nd group of enemies and where you fight them inspect the well with Focus Mode (hold L2/LT), it will be highlighted yellow. A voice will talk to you from the well, then you spawn in front of a cave entrance. Continue at the next objective. The well can only be inspected on the 2nd to 4th replay of the dream sequence.
   

Move further into the memory

After inspecting the well at the 2nd group of enemies, you will spawn in front of a cave. Go to the end of the cave and enter the portal to reach the church.

Help the priest recall the sermon

Here you must help the priest remember what happened by interacting with the people in correct order in Focus Mode (hold L2/LT): Alin > Esme > Coen > the locked door in church opens.

Run after the boy

Leave the church through the now-open door to reach the meadow.

Investigate the meadow

Inspect the red glowing tree stump, clawride down to the river and finish the conversation with your sister.

After this you respawn in the open world. Defeat the enemy that attacks you and loot him for the legendary ring “Astrologer’s Ring“.

This finishes Home Sweet Home side quest in The Blood of Dawnwalker.
