How to complete The Gilded Gauntlet in The Blood of Dawnwalker
Face Ambrus in (im)mortal combat
The Gilded Gauntlet quest in The Blood of Dawnwalker is typically the first encounter with Brencis' boyar, Ambrus. As a Vrakhiri ruler, Ambrus is responsible for procuring blood from Vale Sangora's subjects. There are two main ways to complete this quest: poisoning Ambrus or fighting him normally. If you choose to poison Ambrus through Codric's The Bittersweet Toast quest, you can find him crucified in Maragir Wealds, where a note challenges you to a duel.
If you decide to poison Ambrus, it gradually depletes his health, but it also poisons you if you drink his blood. Despite this drawback, poisoning Ambrus has advantages such as depleting his health, making him less effective in self-healing, and providing a risk-free way to kill him without engaging in combat. However, if you decide not to poison Ambrus, you'll face him in combat and have the choice to drain his blood, granting you the Scarlet Shield vampiric power. Ultimately, both options result in Ambrus' death and give you his legendary armor set and sword.
