The Night of Horrors follows Our Rotten Roots in Lacra's questline. The route leads through the Sunken Crypt and ends with a mandrake decision that controls access to Mandrake Ward and the following romance conversation.
Starting the quest
Detail | Requirement |
|---|---|
Prerequisite | Finish Our Rotten Roots, then wait one day. |
Quest giver | Lacra at her hideout near Westridge Outpost Tower |
Availability | Night |
Listed time cost | 6-7 segments |
Completion rewards | 1000 XP and 2 skill points, with conditional ability rewards. |
After the previous quest, Lacra asks to rest. Spend the interval on another activity or advance the clock, then speak to her at night. Prepare for several waves of animals and supernatural enemies. The crypt's encounters are stronger than those on the approach.
Following the wisps
Go to the marked roadside shrine with Lacra. The will-o'-the-wisps respond to strong emotions, and Coen and Lacra exchange personal information as they follow them. The choices in this stretch do not decide the quest's outcome. Continue along the revealed path and defeat the enemies encountered on the way.
The wisps eventually stop at an overgrown rockslide with a breakable entrance. Inspect it so Lacra can open the route into the Sunken Crypt. The crypt follows a linear path rather than requiring a lantern or switch puzzle.
The Sunken Crypt and legendary weapon
Fight through the crypt and inspect the petrified victims along the route. The legendary greatsword The Vrakhir is embedded in one of them. Take it before continuing to the sarcophagus at the far end. The weapon belongs to the Legendary Equipment routes and is separate from the completion reward.
Inspecting the sarcophagus triggers the final enemy wave. Once it is defeated, follow the wisps to a breakable wall and the hidden cave beyond. Use Focus Mode to investigate the short cave area, then check on Lacra. The discoveries around the petrified body lead into the final conversation.
Mandrake and romance choices
Choice | Consequence |
|---|---|
Eat the mandrake | Grants Mandrake Ward and permits the following romance dialogue. |
Refuse the mandrake | Coen does not receive Mandrake Ward and cannot pursue the subsequent romance scene. |
Kiss Lacra when the option is available | Continues to the intimate scene and unlocks Mesmerise through the blood exchange. |
Decline the kiss | Ends that romantic interaction; eating the mandrake and the later kiss are separate decisions. |
Mandrake Ward allows Coen to survive one lethal hit per night. Accepting the mandrake is the prerequisite for the romance dialogue here, but it is not a guarantee that the kiss option appears if earlier relationship requirements were missed. The route can still be completed without pursuing the scene.
Mesmerise can also be learned from a phial of Lacra's blood without pursuing the romance scene. Mandrake Ward is the survival perk, while Mesmerise is an active vampiric ability.
Leaving and follow-up
After the final conversation, speak to Lacra to leave or backtrack for missed crypt loot. The next major step in her story is Midnight Reckoning. See Relationships and Romance for her chain and Endings for its final route. Completing the crypt does not itself finish the confrontation with Brencis.
