How to escape Xanthe's trap in The Blood of Dawnwalker

Escaping Xanthe's trap in The Blood of Dawnwalker can be a challenging task, especially if you choose to confront her instead of sparing her life. This guide will break down the steps necessary to avoid the trap and continue your journey through Griefberg Castle. Please note that this guide contains spoilers, so proceed with caution.

Upon entering the castle, you'll need to locate a specific room featuring a banner hanging near each door. The triangle-shaped banner that points downward, with a tentacled eye depicted on it, is the key to escaping the trap. Once you find the room with this banner, you'll need to pull back the bookcase to reveal a hole in the first room, Rebel Wolves. By dropping down this hole, you'll enter the dungeon where Xanthe's trap awaits.

The first step is to engage any enemies in the main room, then proceed through the door to your left and pull back the bookcase once more to unveil another hole. After dropping down again, re-enter the main room and repeat the process: fight the enemies, locate the room with the same triangular-downward-tentacled-eye banner, and drop down the hole once more. Repeating this sequence three times should allow you to escape Xanthe's deadly trap and continue your quest through Griefberg Castle.

Remember, the crucial element in escaping the trap is identifying the specific banner and following the sequence of actions diligently. If you find yourself struggling, just keep an eye out for that distinctive triangular-downward-tentacled-eye banner and continue through the doors accordingly. By following these instructions, you'll successfully navigate through the labyrinth and avoid Xanthe's trap in The Blood of Dawnwalker.
