All Sacred Stones In The Blood of Dawnwalker – A Pilgrimage For Power Guide

Are you searching for the Sacred Stones in The Blood of Dawnwalker? These objects are part of a quest called A Pilgrimage for Power. Left behind by uriashi in ages long past, it’s up to you to discover the boons that they provide.

A Pilgrimage for Power: Sacred Stone locations

While there are several uriashi structures with magical glyphs on them, The Blood of Dawnwalker Pilgrimage for Power quest only requires you to find four Sacred Stones. One is in the northern part of Vale Sangora, while the remaining three are in the southern reaches.

Here are some additional tidbits:

You can head to these locations regardless if it’s day or night.
Your main goal is to follow the windchimes. Hold down the Focus button to see them more clearly.
Interacting with the uriashi glyph itself causes two time segments to elapse.
The reward from each glyph is a Ravenous Flock Manual.

These are the Sacred Stones in the northern (left) and southern (right) parts of the world map.

Sacred Stone 1: A Pilgrimage for Power – Bear Trouble

Location: This will likely be the first Sacred Stone that you stumble upon in the campaign. It’s west of the Briar Sloughs Scouting Tower.
Tip: Save your game once you reach the top of the plateau. You’re about to fight a Ravenous Bear soon. Once the bear is dead, check the uriashi corpse and dagger.

Follow the windchimes (left) and be ready to take out a bear (right).

Sacred Stone 2: A Pilgrimage for Power – Dark Thing

Location: This Blood of Dawnwalker Sacred Stone is near the Westridge Outpost shrine. From the abandoned outpost, keep going north and climb the rocky crag.
Tip: You’ll battle an Essence of Grief miniboss–i.e. Vidmo specter. When you’re done, talk to the two uriashi travelers and be nice to them. Tell them that you’ve already killed the “dark thing.”

Exorcise this specter to gain the approval of the uriashi.

Sacred Stone 3: A Pilgrimage for Power – Fanatics

Location: Northeast of St. Tyna’s Grove. It’s near a bandit camp north of one of Ambrus’ outposts.
Tip: Take out the wolves as you continue up the sloping path. Then, examine the corpses of the fanatics and the cross that they left behind. The uriashi who killed them will show up after your investigation. You’ll be able to let him go if you wish.

You probably don’t want to mess with this fella.

Sacred Stone 4: A Pilgrimage for Power – The Ritual

Location: This Sacred Stone in The Blood of Dawnwalker is in the southern edge of the map. Lightning will strike your surroundings, but keep heading onward until you reach a clearing.
Tip: You have to fight a Witch of the Barren Peaks. This miniboss casts lightning spells that are unblockable. Dodge out of the way and strike her down when you see an opening.

Note: The Witch of the Barren Peaks drops an Aether Flow Manual, a Crimson Band (epic ring), and Aetheric Essence (epic material).

The burning trees (left) lead you to a stormcaller who wields the power of lightning (right).

Rewards: Ravenous Flock Manuals

As mentioned earlier, each Sacred Stone glyph that you interact with nets you a Ravenous Flock Manual. This is a Witchcraft ability that stuns a target and triggers additional area attacks. With all four manuals, you should be able to level up this ability to its maximum rank, assuming you want to spend the skill points and time segments.
