For the Ambrus phial, pursue the collect-blood interaction after clearing the recruiters. Do not assume that handing blood to the Blood Addict preserves that reward: the published accounts disagree.
Reach the camp
- Search south of Svartrau City, east of the Silty Mug Inn.
- Follow the tracked objective across the bridge toward the recruiter camp.
- Defeat the guards, search their bodies, then approach the golden container for the interruption.

Decide at the blood container
| Intended outcome | What the sources report | | --- | --- | | Keep the blood | ATH describes collecting the Ambrus phial after the interruption. | | Give it away | Method describes money instead and says the activity closes. | | Destroy it | Method describes completion without the blood benefit. |
ATH reports that sparing the addict leaves the reward unchanged; Method says taking or destroying the blood requires fighting him. These are conflicting branch accounts, not interchangeable instructions. The exact result of a peaceful reply remains unconfirmed here.
Check before leaving or consuming
Check the inventory for Phial of Ambrus’s Blood and the journal for completion separately. Drinking is associated with Corruption and Scarlet Shield, a blocking-related healing perk; receiving the item is not the same as using it. Review blood requirements before committing.
