The Blood of Dawnwalker Ancient Hero Set Location Guide

The Ancient Hero Set is one of the most useful legendary armor sets for Witchcraft-focused builds in The Blood of Dawnwalker.

This guide explains how to obtain the Ancient Footwear and Ancient Hero’s Armor, including the Bloody Dagger excavation, Hero’s End mission, crypt key, and Betrayed Hero boss encounter.

How To Get Ancient Footwear

The Ancient Footwear can be obtained from one of Zanti’s excavations called Bloody Dagger.

Complete The Bloody Dagger Excavation

Travel to the excavation area and defeat the enemies protecting the location.

After the encounter, you will find a corpse that can be interrogated, but you first need to locate the nearby dagger.

Use the dagger at the catalyst to question the corpse.

The investigation reveals that the dagger works as a key for the nearby chest.

Collect Ancient Footwear

Opening the chest rewards you with the Ancient Footwear.

This piece provides additional bonuses for Witchcraft-focused playstyles and helps complete the Ancient Set.

How To Get Ancient Hero’s Armor

The Ancient Hero’s Armor is obtained through a mission called A Hero’s End.

You need to visit Father Florine at Vartra Cathedral during daytime.

Complete Father Florine’s Confession Task

During the dialogue, agree to confession and admit all three sins.

After selecting the correct dialogue option, you will receive a new task leading to an ancient ruin beneath his house.

Enter The Ancient Crypt And Defeat Betrayed Hero

Regardless of your dialogue choice, Father Florine provides the crypt key.

Use the key to enter the crypt and fight the boss called Betrayed Hero.

Ancient Hero’s Armor Reward

After defeating Betrayed Hero, loot the nearby crypt to obtain the Ancient Hero’s Armor.

This armor provides additional Witchcraft bonuses and works especially well for daytime builds.
