Start here

Find the monastery keys, then either exchange St. Tyna's relic for library access or use the bells to clear the route. Return to Anca before entering the library and catacombs together.

Anca in The Blood of Dawnwalker
Anca is your companion on this convent investigation. Character reference; the entry and library instructions below identify the route.

01Reach the convent courtyard

  1. Meet Anca at the old inn after Smoke and Ashes. Follow her through the fog and open the convent gates.
  2. Defeat the first nun, inspect her hands and face, then follow Anca into the refectory. The ground-floor side room contains a monastery map.
  3. Follow Anca upstairs and inspect the courtyard from the balcony. Collect the keys from the wall hook inside the wooden shed beside the chapel.

02Trade the relic for access

This gives up an Epic Amulet. Use the bell route instead if you want to keep it.

  1. Speak to the soldiers through the opening behind the infirmary, the building with the smoking chimney.
  2. Use the monastery keys on the western sacristy, identifiable by its small roof cross. Take the relic from the dead nun's neck and trade it to the soldiers for the library corridor key.

03Use the bells

  1. Read Campana Loquitur in the house left of the sacristy. Unlock the eastern bell tower and climb to the rope.
  2. Ring the infirmary signal to send the nuns against the soldiers, then the church signal to move the nuns away. This route kills the soldiers.

04Enter the library and catacombs

  1. Return to Anca in the upstairs study and tell her the route is ready. Follow her to the library and push aside the bookcase she indicates.
  2. In the catacombs, take the open northwest passage at the first junction; the locked door opens later. Inspect the ritual table, then continue upstairs through the double doors.
  3. Defeat Leonica and the nuns she summons between phases. Loot the chamber and speak to Anca.

05Burn the notes or allow the ritual?

Reveal choices and consequences
  • Allow Anca to finish the work: she frees the cursed nuns but makes further unholy pacts.
  • Burn the notes: the nuns remain cursed; Anca does not make those additional pacts.
  • Both choices continue her questline and permit romance. Continue to Between the Words afterward.
