Players encountering Xanthe's trap in The Blood of Dawnwalker, an event triggered in Griefberg Castle if Xanthe was not spared or was killed prior to the final sequence, can find their escape by following a specific visual cue. This guide details the method to exit the trap, which manifests as an occult maze left by Xanthe.
The key to progressing through Xanthe's labyrinth is paying attention to the banners displayed next to each door. Players should seek out doors marked with a specific banner: triangular, pointing downwards, and featuring a tentacled eye. This symbol is explained earlier in the castle, indicating the only valid entry point into the dungeon.
Upon entering the trap, players must first engage enemies in the initial room. Following this, they should proceed through the door to the front and left. Inside, a bookcase can be moved to reveal a hole, which players must drop down. The sequence then repeats: re-enter the main room, defeat the enemies, locate the door with the distinctive banner, and descend through the revealed hole once more. This pattern must be followed a third time. After the third descent, players will have successfully escaped the trap and can continue their exploration of Griefberg Castle.
