For Ancient Greaves, destroy the Font; for passive daytime healing, let Coen drink. First finish the ruins after Where Old Devils Lie. Save before the Font conversation if you want to compare the mutually exclusive rewards.
Pass the idol and the next fight
- Follow the ruin corridors, clear the enemies and inspect the idol beside Anca in the circular chamber.
- For Coen's blood offering, agree to try and choose Keep still when prompted. Let the scene finish before continuing; agreeing to start is not the whole interaction.
- Continue through the opened route, defeat the Fallen Hero and crouch through the opening behind the encounter.
The earlier Runic Enchantment pickup is separate from the Font's final reward. Choose armour for your current defence rather than assuming new legendary clothing must stay equipped.
Find a way forward when Anca cannot follow
- From the blocked-door area, climb the ledge on the right and jump across the broken floor toward the middle platform.
- Continue along the narrow wall ledge, cross to solid ground and squeeze through the wall gap. Follow the corridor to the far side of the blocked door.
- Open it from behind so Anca can rejoin you. Then interact with the other heavy stone door to push it open together.
The blocked shortcut and the heavy door are different interactions. If Anca is still separated from you, finish opening the shortcut before moving on.
Activate the tablet trial
- Beyond the optional chamber, continue into the large room and inspect the central inscribed tablet. If the old objective remains, approach the far sealed door and recheck the tablet.
- Use Astral Communion on the pillar, then defeat the enemies released from the statues. Finish the encounter before entering the Font chamber.
- Use Focus to inspect the mural and the stone bowl. Make your save before the deciding conversation.
Choose one Font outcome
| Your goal | Choice | Result to check | | --- | --- | --- | | Daytime recovery | Coen drinks | Font of Life in the Witchcraft tree | | Anca's personal outcome | Let Anca drink | Her scene changes; no extra item or perk for Coen | | Legendary heavy trousers | Destroy the Font | Search beneath the ruined pedestal for Ancient Greaves |
Picking destruction is not a reason to leave immediately: inspect the exposed bag/niche and verify the trousers in inventory. Read the current item card and armour proficiency requirements; screenshot levels are not fixed rewards for every save.
What does giving the Font to Anca change?
Anca’s personal outcome — spoilers
ATH reports that drinking removes Anca’s witch abilities and the burden she calls her sins; letting Coen drink leaves her seeking another cure. These are reported character outcomes, not a guarantee of a particular romance or overall ending. The decision belongs to this Font encounter, while the inn conversation remains a separate step.
Return to the inn to finish
- Speak to Anca to leave, then finish the inn conversation. The Font decision does not replace this final conversation or force a romance; see Anca's relationship choices.
PowerPyx lists 500 XP, one Skill Point, Sins of the Past and six time segments. ATH's claim that this quest costs no time conflicts with that account, so check the game's time prompts. Verify the journal and your chosen reward separately.
