Want to defeat Brencis before the usual endgame? This article walks you through a fast‑track route from entering Greifberg Castle to confronting the final lord. Spoilers ahead.
- Finish the prologue and head straight to Greifberg Castle
- Switch to vampire mode at night and use Shadowstep to scale the walls
- Prepare for multiple elite bosses and blood guards inside the fortress
Quick Overview
After completing the prologue, leave Laslea Glen and follow the southern road. You’ll soon see the massive Svartrau City and, perched on a hill, Greifberg Castle. Enter the city, head east, and you’ll arrive at the castle gates.
How to Enter Greifberg Castle Early
Make sure it’s nighttime so your character automatically becomes a vampire. As a vampire, activate Shadowstep to climb the large rocks outside the gate, then teleport onto the wall and scale it. Reaching the top triggers a cutscene that drops you inside.
What Awaits Inside the Castle
In the courtyard you’ll face an Unblinking Blasphemy – a flying golem boss. The fortress is populated with regular soldiers, elite blood guards, and spectral entities. You’ll battle the remaining boyars: Ambrus, Xanthe, and Bakir. A second Unblinking Blasphemy lurks in the dungeons, and the final showdown is with Brencis, lord of Vale Sangora.
Why This Matters
BozokMedia analysis shows that completing the main quest early unlocks exclusive gear and reduces grind time, giving players a competitive edge in multiplayer leaderboards.
"Sneaking into Greifberg at night is the fastest path to the campaign’s climax," says strategy analyst Alex Morawick.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I enter the castle without switching to vampire mode? No, Shadowstep only works while you’re in vampire form.
Does this early route unlock a New Game Plus? As of now, finishing the main objective does not grant a New Game Plus.
