The Blood of Dawnwalker's 'A Pilgrimage for Power' quest tasks players with locating four Sacred Stones, remnants left by the ancient uriashi civilization. Successfully gathering these stones and interacting with their associated glyphs rewards players with Ravenous Flock Manuals, which can be used to upgrade a potent Witchcraft ability.

Navigating the Quest

While various uriashi structures dot the landscape, only four Sacred Stones are pertinent to this quest. These stones are scattered across Vale Sangora, with one situated in the northern region and the remaining three in the south. Players can pursue these objectives at any time of day or night. A key navigational aid for locating the stones is the windchimes, which can be made more visible by holding down the Focus button. Interacting with each uriashi glyph advances the game's time by two segments and grants one Ravenous Flock Manual.

Sacred Stone 1: Bear Trouble

This Sacred Stone is likely to be encountered early in the campaign. It lies to the west of the Briar Sloughs Scouting Tower. Upon reaching the plateau's summit, it is advisable to save your progress, as a challenging Ravenous Bear encounter awaits. After defeating the bear, players should examine the uriashi corpse and dagger nearby to find the stone.

Sacred Stone 2: Dark Thing

Located near the Westridge Outpost shrine, this stone requires players to travel north from the abandoned outpost and ascend a rocky crag. The area is guarded by an Essence of Grief miniboss, also known as the Vidmo specter. Following the battle, players should engage with the two uriashi travelers, responding favorably by mentioning the defeat of the "dark thing" to gain their approval and find the stone.

Sacred Stone 3: Fanatics

Northeast of St. Tyna’s Grove, this Sacred Stone can be found near a bandit camp situated north of one of Ambrus’ outposts. The path leading to it involves confronting wolves. After dealing with the wolves, players will find the corpses of fanatics and a cross. Investigating these will prompt the appearance of the uriashi responsible for their demise. It is recommended to allow this uriashi to depart unharmed.

Sacred Stone 4: The Ritual

This final Sacred Stone is located on the southern edge of the map. Players must press onward through an area experiencing frequent lightning strikes until they reach a clearing. The area is home to the Witch of the Barren Peaks, a miniboss who utilizes unblockable lightning spells. Players must focus on dodging these attacks and capitalizing on any openings to defeat her.

Upon defeating the Witch of the Barren Peaks, players will also acquire an Aether Flow Manual, a Crimson Band epic ring, and Aetheric Essence, an epic crafting material. Each Sacred Stone glyph yields a Ravenous Flock Manual, a Witchcraft ability that can stun targets and trigger area-of-effect attacks. Collecting all four manuals allows for the ability's maximum rank upgrade.
