Collect the blood rather than destroy the reliquary if your goal is the phial. Deal with the Yanos encounter first, then check the container separately.

Reach the encounter

  1. Look southeast of Svartrau City, south of St. Tyna’s Grove.
  2. Resolve the Yanos conversation, then clear the guards.
  3. Inspect the tent’s table for the reliquary and choose to collect blood.

Choose before the container

Method reports payment of 250 Denari sends Yanos home; after the guards, his mother gives the Family Ring. Aggression can lead to his death. Intimidation exists, but its required Threat level remains unconfirmed here. This is not proof that every nonlethal route grants the ring.

Verify the phial and skill

ATH calls the reward “Boki’s” blood; Method calls it Bakir’s. Both connect the Come Home phial to Shadowstorm. Compare your inventory description before drinking, then check the Vampirism list. Acquiring a phial and consuming it are separate checks; skill acquisition should not be confused with the entire activity costing no time.
