How To Complete Volk’s Buried Past Quest In The Blood Of Dawnwalker

Game coverage outlets are publishing guides for the “Buried Past” quest in The Blood of Dawnwalker, which introduces the character Volk, a blind former mercenary and friend of the protagonist Coen’s father.

The quest presents players with optional objectives involving helping Volk with various tasks, including chopping wood, repairing a window, and scaring away local wolves. However, completing these chores takes time, creating a meaningful choice dynamic where players must balance assisting Volk against the needs of Coen’s family.

Guides indicate that the quest offers rewards for patient completion, though the exact nature of these rewards is not specified in the available excerpts. The quest becomes available after completing earlier story content in the game.

Published walkthroughs examine what happens if players skip Volk’s optional objectives, suggesting the quest has branching outcomes based on player choices. Both GameSpot and Polygon have published comprehensive guides with spoiler warnings, positioning them as references for players who get stuck or want to optimize their quest completion.
