The Runic Enchantment is one of the strongest legendary rewards available in The Blood of Dawnwalker. Unlike normal armor pieces, this reward is actually a set of powerful runes that can significantly improve your combat performance.
The biggest advantage of the Runic Enchantment is its life steal effect. One of the runes restores health with every hit, and this effect works in both human form and vampire form, making it extremely valuable for aggressive playstyles.
What Is Runic Enchantment?
The Runic Enchantment is not traditional armor. It is a legendary rune set that provides several combat bonuses.
Its most important effect is the ability to heal from attacks, allowing you to recover health while dealing damage.
How To Get Runic Enchantment
The Runic Enchantment is automatically rewarded during Anka’s second quest, Old Devil’s Die.
You do not need to search for a hidden chest or complete an additional puzzle. The reward is given directly during the quest progression.
Unlock Old Devil’s Die With Anka
To start this questline, you first need to finish the prologue.
After the prologue, you will receive a follow-up mission that sends you to meet Anka at the crossroads.
However, Old Devil’s Die is not her first mission. You must first complete her previous quest:
- Echoes of Silenced Bells
Complete Echoes of Silenced Bells First
After completing Echoes of Silenced Bells, wait one in-game day.
Anka will then receive a new objective that unlocks the Old Devil’s Die mission.
Runic Enchantment Reward Location
The Old Devil’s Die mission takes you toward a nearby temple on the eastern side of the map.
The Runic Enchantment is obtained right before the trial door.
At this moment, Anka automatically gives you the Runic Enchantment without requiring any extra action.
Runic Enchantment Effects
The Runic Enchantment provides several useful bonuses:
- Life steal from attacks.
- Healing works in human form.
- Healing works in vampire form.
- Magical damage reduction.
- Damage against supernatural enemies.
- Witchcraft ability bonuses.
Ancient Greaves Or Font Of Life Choice
After obtaining the Runic Enchantment, you will reach the final room where you discover the font.
At this point, you must choose your reward carefully because you can only keep one option.
Destroy The Font To Get Ancient Greaves
If you want the legendary Ancient Greaves, choose the option to destroy the font.
This reveals the hidden Ancient Greaves underneath the font.
Use The Font To Unlock Font Of Life
Choosing to use the font yourself unlocks the secret ability called Font of Life.
Font of Life provides passive regeneration while in human form, which can be useful for players who spend a lot of time fighting.
It also works well together with the Runic Enchantment because both rewards improve health recovery.
Should You Let Anka Take The Font?
The third option is allowing Anka to receive the font.
This option provides fewer gameplay benefits compared with Ancient Greaves or Font of Life.
Choosing one of the other two options also does not prevent the later romance option with Anka.
Ancient Greaves Stats
Ancient Greaves mainly improve:
- Witchcraft ability damage.
- Activation charge restoration.
- Magical defense.
The Ancient Greaves also combine well with the Runic Enchantment, creating a strong setup focused on damage, ability usage, and survivability.
