Good Home FULL QUEST The Blood of DawnwalkerTable of Contents
The Good Home quest in The Blood of Dawnwalker is a vital side story that serves as an essential gateway to the game's mysterious Sanzhani narrative path. Whether you are aiming to reunite a family or navigate the moral complexities of the Svartrau Outskirts, this guide ensures you make informed decisions to secure the best possible outcome.
This quest is important because it not only rewards you with valuable experience and a skill point but also unlocks access to the Sanzhani questline, which is critical for players looking to explore deeper into the world’s lore. Completing it efficiently will save you time and help you manage your resources effectively.
Getting Started: Finding the Burrow
The quest becomes available in the Svartrau Outskirts immediately following the completion of the game's Prologue. To start, head north from the Sandy Gorge Shrine and look for the glowing mushroom rings scattered through the forest. Following this trail will lead you directly to the burrow entrance.
Before you set out, make sure your inventory is stocked with beer or wine. These items are common loot from human enemies or can be found in chests across the game world. You will need at least one of these beverages to progress the conversation with Tonis without wasting valuable time.
Walkthrough: Essential Objectives
Once you enter the burrow, you will meet Heile. Engage in dialogue using the yellow prompts to trigger the search for her brother, Tonis. While the game provides several locations to investigate—including Oghasti, the Wooden Palace, and the local burner camp—you can actually bypass these investigations by heading straight to Tonis's location in the forest.
Following the marked trees northeast from the burner camp will lead you to Tonis at his campfire. Be wary of the bear roaming nearby; if you are currently underleveled, it is best to avoid direct combat.

The Return
Accompany Tonis back to the burrow

Making the Tough Choices
The heart of the "Good Home" quest lies in your final interaction with Tsarina at the burrow. You will be faced with a significant moral dilemma: allow Heile to leave with her brother or keep her in the burrow.
According to community reports, opting to let Heile leave requires you to satisfy Tsarina’s demand for three shiny teeth. These are obtained by looting fallen human enemies. While this adds a step to the quest, it provides a perfect opportunity to farm Denarii and additional supplies from foes you encounter. If you choose to let her stay, the quest concludes more quickly, but you may miss out on the specific rewards associated with the trade.
Completing the Quest and Rewards
Once you have fulfilled the requirements—either by returning with the teeth or negotiating for Heile’s departure—you will have the opportunity to send a letter to Lunka through the Sanzhani. This is a crucial step for players who want to uncover more secrets within the game.
Completion Rewards:
100 EXP
1 Skill Point

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I skip the investigations in Oghasti and the Wooden Palace?
Yes. If you are familiar with the quest path or want to save time, you can proceed directly to Tonis in the forest. You will still receive the same core rewards, though some dialogue flavor may change based on your previous discoveries.
What happens if I don't have beer or wine when I meet Tonis?
If you arrive without alcohol, you will be forced to spend more time during the conversation to convince Tonis. It is highly recommended to keep a supply in your inventory to ensure the interaction remains efficient.
Is the "Good Home" quest missable?
Yes, this quest is considered missable. It is best to prioritize completing it shortly after the Prologue to ensure you do not lock yourself out of the subsequent Sanzhani questline.
Do the choices affect the game's ending?
The choices you make regarding Heile's fate influence the immediate resolution of the quest and your relationship with the local NPCs, but they are primarily focused on world-building and unlocking specific progression paths rather than forcing a singular, restricted ending.
