Confused about the fate of the amethyst ring in The Blood of Dawnwalker? Learn why trusting Farkas is a gamble and which NPCs offer the best epic rewards for your character.
- Giving the ring to Farkas is high-risk due to his lack of arcane knowledge.
- Anca provides the 'Quick Fighter’s Ring' as a replacement.
- Bakr-Erga and Sanzhani Tsarina both offer the 'Vrakhir’s Endurance' amulet.
In the immersive world of The Blood of Dawnwalker, the 'The Ring' quest serves as a critical decision point following the 'Lunar Game' mission. After confronting the Mad Khan, Bakir, you are approached by his jester, Farkas. He requests a specific heirloom—the Ring with the Purple Eye—found within Bakir's treasure room.
The Risk of Trusting Farkas
Farkas presents a compelling emotional narrative, claiming the ring can heal his abused brother. However, seasoned players should approach this with caution. The ring is inscribed with demonic runes, and Farkas possesses zero understanding of arcane rituals or magical stabilization.
While Farkas' motives may seem noble, handing over a cursed artifact to an untrained individual is a recipe for disaster.
BozokMedia analysis shows that choosing to trust Farkas leads to grim consequences for both him and his brother as the game progresses. If you prioritize character progression and safety, you must seek out magical experts instead.
Why This Matters
This choice isn't just about flavor text; it dictates your endgame gear. Deciding between a specialized ring and a powerful defensive amulet can significantly alter your combat effectiveness in the later stages of the game.
Alternative Recipients and Epic Rewards
If you decide to renege on Farkas' deal, you can initiate 'The Ring' quest to find a more knowledgeable recipient. Note that choosing these paths will cost 2x Time Segments.
| NPC | Requirement | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| Anca | Available at Crossroads Inn | Quick Fighter’s Ring (Epic) |
| Bakr-Erga | Discovery of Hidden Uriash Village | Vrakhir’s Endurance (Epic Amulet) |
| Sanzhani Tsarina | Completed Good Home/Letters to Lunka | Vrakhir’s Endurance (Epic Amulet) |
Providing the ring to Anca at the Crossroads Inn results in the destruction of the artifact in exchange for the Quick Fighter’s Ring. This accessory is ideal for aggressive playstyles, offering increased human health and swordmastery cooldown reduction. Alternatively, giving the ring to the Uriash Matriarch (Bakr-Erga) or the Sanzhani Tsarina yields the Vrakhir’s Endurance amulet, which provides vital physical and magical damage reduction.
