00:00You
00:30Hello, my name is Arianna Sierkiewicz and I am one of the writers at Rebel Wolves.
00:39In June, we showed you a part of a quest where Cohen is looking for a legendary sword.
00:44And today, we're going to get to the end of that quest.
00:48The game is currently in the pre-beta stage, so you may still see some bugs and glitches.
00:54You will also see some changes and additions we've made to the game based on the community feedback.
01:00Since one of our game's main features is the duality of Cohen, our hero,
01:20who is human by day and a vampire by night, we're gonna show you two ways to play the quest.
01:27This is yet another example of our narrative sandbox.
01:31We can approach each of the quests in a variety of ways, remembering about the duality of our hero,
01:37human by day and vampire by night, knowing we have both day and night as our allies.
01:44In June, we started on the outskirts of Spartro and had a brief stint with some bandits,
01:50Cohen got rid of them easily with a few well-timed sword cuts and active abilities.
01:55Then we walked around the city a bit until we reached the cathedral,
02:00this time entering it without any hassle during the day as a human.
02:04Let's continue that playthrough.
02:06Let's continue that playthrough.
02:16The baptism of a newborn is a solemn moment, doubly so.
02:37A new life joins our flock, bringing happiness to its parents and to the congregation.
03:07In the name of the Lord, amen.
03:37Hmm. Don't I know you from somewhere, young man? Laslea, maybe?
03:44That's right. My name's Cohen.
03:50It's a real shame what happened there. So many good people imprisoned.
03:58But where there is sin, there must be chastisement. And speaking of sin, come with me. I'll take your confession.
04:13Thank you, but I have no need for confession.
04:16Ah. So you deem your conscience clear?
04:21I wouldn't go that far. But I'm sure you're a busy man, Father. So while I appreciate the offer, I feel that my soul shouldn't be your priority.
04:31I won't press the matter. You are quite correct. I have many other duties to attend to.
04:37But please remember that in order to be saved, we all need to repent. Myself included. I hope we can speak again soon.
04:50Good day to you, ah, Cohen.
04:55Father Florin.
04:59We can start by chatting with the deacon. He might know something about the catacombs where Saint Mihai is buried.
05:07Pay the workers. Clean up the altar. What else? Oh, right about her.
05:27Yes, what is it? I have much to do. So either be quick about it, or leave me to my duties.
05:34Could you point me towards the entrance to the crypt?
05:39What are you talking about?
05:42I wanted to pay my respects to the city's founders. Light a candle in their memory, if possible.
05:47Sorry to disappoint, son, but there's no crypt in this house of worship now, if that is all.
05:53Things change. Especially in the last few years. Perhaps the crypt was built over, or sealed away?
06:03Listen, son. The parish book doesn't say anything about any crypt. I should know. I wrote parts of it myself.
06:11Can I take a look? Just to make sure.
06:14No. The library is not open to just anyone.
06:18Ah, still. It seems to me you have plenty of time on your hands and will keep on badgering me.
06:25Tell you what. I'll give your idle hands something to do. And afterwards, maybe I'll let you take a look into the library, hm?
06:35Tell me what you need, then.
06:36Our caretaker Radu is missing, it seems. It's been few days since he last came to work, and now his duties have become my duties.
06:46I imagine he's lazing about somewhere, having a laugh at my expense.
06:56Any idea where to look for him?
06:58Perhaps he's at home. If I only knew where that is.
07:01Radu's a secretive man.
07:05No. I'd rather ask around in the almshouse. He spends a lot of time talking to the inmates.
07:11The almshouse? Where is it?
07:14Go out to the courtyard and turn left. Carry on walking until you see a well on your right.
07:20The almshouse's entrance is just by that well. I try to avoid going there myself.
07:26Ugh, a dreadful place. Really dreadful.
07:31Anyway, be on your way, son. And let me know when you find Radu, hm?
07:41Turns out the deacon had his own agenda and asked us to find out what happened to the local caretaker.
07:47Let's find the asylum he mentioned.
07:51While on those sacred grounds, we should mention that every week, in some of Vale Sangora's churches, people gather for the so-called blood mass.
08:00It was established by Brancis and his clique of vampires after they took rule in Vale Sangora.
08:06Every villager is required to donate a significant amount of their blood.
08:12And in return, they are cured from all illness.
08:15Like Cohen's sister in the CGI trailer.
08:18It's how Brancis controls the population.
08:21Each blood mass is conducted by Father Florin himself.
08:24So Global's principles and actions.
08:28Hi there!
08:30They need workers for the cathedral.
08:33Maybe we can go there today?
08:35See if we can help?
08:37Yeah, mate!
08:43The deacon will be really glad to see Brancis.
08:45You actually see Brancis...
08:47Oh, fine.
08:49See if we can help?
08:51Yeah, right.
08:52The deacon will be really glad to see dirty bums like us walking around his glorious church.
08:58You don't know that, maybe?
09:00Oh, stuff it.
09:02We'll go and see your dad instead.
09:04Maybe someone in here has seen the caretaker.
09:07The sister is too busy to take a look at him.
09:10It's just a matter of time until that wound festers.
09:14What do you want?
09:19I'm looking for the caretaker. I've been told he sometimes comes here.
09:24You mean Radu?
09:25Yeah, I know him.
09:27Steer clear of that bastard.
09:31Any idea where he is?
09:33Right now?
09:33Nah.
09:34But I do know something.
09:36Might be interesting for you.
09:39Really?
09:40All right, tell me.
09:42That's not how it works, friend.
09:44I need a little palm grease first.
09:49Here you go.
09:51It better be worth it.
09:55It is.
09:56Something strange is going on here.
09:58Every night there are noises.
10:01Creaking, scratching, and...
10:04I don't know, things being pushed around.
10:07Some of the folk here say the building's haunted.
10:14Listen, I didn't pay to hear a ghost story.
10:16You were supposed to tell me about the caretaker.
10:18Oh, I'm getting there.
10:19I'm not trying to swindle you or nothing.
10:21You see, there's a closed-off wing here.
10:25They put the plague patients there when it first hit.
10:28But one day, they decided they were beyond help
10:31and sealed them all off, left them all to die.
10:34But I hear that the caretaker knew how to get in there.
10:38Some secret entrance.
10:41And used it.
10:41But I don't know what for.
10:42I see.
10:46Any idea where it might be?
10:48Somewhere upstairs, I think.
10:51You'd have to look around.
10:52All right, I'll check it out.
10:54Thanks.
10:55It seems the asylum resident,
11:03apart from telling us a gruesome story
11:05about what happened to the plague patients,
11:07gave us a useful hint
11:08about the secret entrance to the asylum wing.
11:11For a price, of course.
11:13Using focus mode allows us to see
11:27that there might be something hidden behind the shelves.
11:30Scratches on the floor.
11:31Let's investigate the location.
11:56It was a separate wing for patients
11:58who fell ill with the plague.
11:59This wing was blocked off
12:23and they were left to die a terrible death.
12:29Something else happened here.
12:35Huh.
12:36Died recently.
12:38Killed by something bestial.
12:41This body looks fresh compared to the rest.
12:43It's getting better and better.
12:55We have to face a creature called Mewron.
12:58While it is theoretically a vampire,
13:01its transformation did not go correctly.
13:04Occasionally, Mewrons produce loud,
13:06inhuman screams which stun the target
13:08if it is within the screams range.
13:16What?
13:20As you can observe,
13:22their behavior is chaotic and hard to predict.
13:24Mewroni possessed the vampiric ability of Shadow Step.
13:52However, it is juggie and unstable.
14:03These must have killed Radu in the missing residents.
14:06We can learn more about what has happened here
14:09by using the Compel Soul hex.
14:11You can learn this hex during the game.
14:13It is a feature enabling the player
14:21to talk with certain corpses,
14:23those that have moths flying above them.
14:26Magic is only available to Cohen in his human form.
14:30We wouldn't be able to talk to the dead
14:32had we come here at night.
14:33It's...
14:34It's you, isn't it?
14:36Please...
14:37Please...
14:38Stop!
14:39It hurts!
14:42I beg you!
14:45We're friends!
14:47Radu, please!
14:52That's enough.
14:54Rest now.
14:57We can go back to the beacon now
14:59and report our findings.
15:01Before we chat to him,
15:05notice that our current objective again
15:07has the hourglass symbol.
15:09This tells you that the dialogue
15:10will push the time forward.
15:12Yes?
15:26Why are you pestering me again?
15:30I know what happened to Radu.
15:32Good!
15:32So, what was that wastrel doing all this time?
15:35Getting drunk on communion wine?
15:37Tell me!
15:38I found him in the almshouse,
15:40in the sealed-off wing.
15:41The caretaker was hiding there,
15:43but he was no longer human.
15:46He turned into something terrible.
15:48A monster.
15:49I'm sorry,
15:51but I had to kill him.
15:52What?
15:52I don't understand.
15:54What...
15:54What happened to Radu?
15:57He was involved in something.
15:59Something dark.
16:01There were corpses in his hiding place.
16:03Probably his latest victims.
16:05But how he became that creature
16:06is anyone's guess.
16:08A monster in the house of God.
16:10First a plague,
16:11now this...
16:12Oh, truly.
16:13We might just be living in the end times.
16:16Right.
16:17I'll have to talk to the guards,
16:19send them to retrieve the bodies,
16:21and clean up that place.
16:23You do what you need to do,
16:24but I believe we had a deal.
16:27May I enter the library now?
16:29What?
16:29Ah, yes.
16:31You may go inside with my blessing.
16:33I'll tell someone to leave the door unlocked for you.
16:36The book you're looking for,
16:37it's called
16:38The Annals of Svartraal Cathedral.
16:40Now, excuse me,
16:42I must go to Father Florin
16:43and tell him we need a new caretaker.
16:47He gave us access to the library
16:49in exchange for our information.
16:51Let's go there
16:52and find a book he has mentioned.
16:57Reading books in our game
16:58works surprisingly similarly
17:00to the way it works in real life.
17:02They might teach us new skills
17:04or give us additional experience.
17:08Let's stop here
17:09and load a save game
17:10from the night variant playthrough
17:12of this quest.
17:12We are again in Svartraal,
17:22in front of the cathedral.
17:23We are again in Svartraal,
17:24in front of the cathedral.
17:42As a vampire,
17:55you'll see and experience the world
17:56from a different perspective.
17:57Let's get inside the building
18:26using Koen's vampiric abilities,
18:28playing Shift and Shadow Step.
18:33You can travel quickly
18:35and easily access places
18:36beyond the reach of regular humans.
18:42Last time we were inside the cathedral,
18:44we came across Xanthi,
18:45one of Brancis' officers.
18:48She was a difficult opponent for Koen,
18:51so this time,
18:52we're going to be smart about it,
18:54stay on the scaffoldings
18:55and show you an alternative approach.
18:58Better be quiet.
18:59Blood to blood.
19:01Blood to blood.
19:03Blood.
19:03Blood.
19:04Is that...
19:05Boyer's Xanthi?
19:07Most faithful service.
19:08What the hell is she doing here?
19:10His command shall become
19:11the sole voice in your hearts.
19:13Is that a ritual for the blood gods?
19:15Your fellow blood gods
19:16shall become your new family.
19:19You shall want for nothing.
19:21You shall yearn for nothing.
19:24Hmm.
19:25They're covering up the old paintings.
19:28Why?
19:28Blood to blood.
19:33Blood to blood.
19:36Blood to blood.
19:37One of the workers must have left it.
19:39You shall become...
19:40Seems that the cathedral complex
19:42is quite big.
19:43The main building,
19:44cloisters,
19:45inner courtyard.
19:47The entrance to the crypt
19:48could be anywhere.
19:50You won't get anything done
19:51just standing around.
19:53Still,
19:54staying up here
19:54would be a smart idea.
19:57Your fellow blood gods
19:59shall become your new family.
20:01You shall want for nothing.
20:04You shall yearn for nothing.
20:08Only duty shall remain.
20:10Bound the blood of death.
20:16Blood to blood.
20:18Let's start by checking out
20:20one of the frescoes in detail.
20:22Sanctus Mihai.
20:25Patron saint of Svartra himself.
20:28Victorious and well-loved.
20:29Full voice in your hearts.
20:31There's the legendary silver sword.
20:33You shall your blood god
20:34shall become your new family.
20:35I hope it really does exist.
20:36You shall want for nothing.
20:39You shall yearn for nothing.
20:42Only duty shall remain.
20:44Saint Mihai's symbol.
20:46Good.
20:48It should help my search.
20:50Turns out,
20:51this one was actually about Saint Mihai,
20:54owner of the sword we're after.
20:56The powerful weapon
20:57might tip the scales
20:58in Cohen's favor
20:59and help him save his family
21:00from the vampire lord, Brancis.
21:02Your command shall become
21:04the sole voice in your hearts.
21:07Your fellow blood god
21:08shall be...
21:09We can check some of the buildings
21:10in the courtyard.
21:11Maybe we'll find
21:12some interesting clues inside them.
21:14Let's shadow step
21:15to this one below.
21:16It's the library
21:17we were supposed to enter
21:19a few moments ago
21:20in our day variant playthrough.
21:21So many books.
21:27It seems that people
21:28don't usually close
21:29the balcony doors in Svartra.
21:31We can again use our system
21:33of getting a closer look
21:34at certain objects
21:35to both appreciate
21:36the beauty of the story
21:37being crafted in front of our eyes
21:38and to uncover secrets
21:40about Vale's Angora.
21:42The annals of Svartra Cathedral.
21:44They're bound to have some information
21:46on St. Mihai's crypt.
21:53And thus, St. Mihai
21:54was laid to rest
21:55in the catacombs
21:56beneath the cathedral's
21:58side courtyard
21:58by the cloisters.
22:01Marked by his own
22:02personal sigil,
22:03the saint's remains
22:05and his sword
22:06were buried
22:07under a memorial stone.
22:09Under St. Mihai's
22:10memorial stone.
22:12And I already know
22:13his symbol.
22:14All right.
22:14We should be looking
22:15for a crypt
22:16somewhere on the premises
22:17of the Svartra Cathedral.
22:19Let's grab the door key
22:20on the way
22:21to open the door.
22:27The cathedral
22:28is heavily guarded outside
22:30and it looks like
22:31the gods aren't really fond
22:32of Kohen lurking
22:33around the premises.
22:35Let's deal with them
22:36swiftly using our claw.
22:44We've listened to your feedback
22:46and we've worked on the flow
22:48of using active abilities.
22:49We are no longer pausing
22:51the choice menu.
22:52It's real time
22:53in gameplay.
22:54It's also a good opportunity
22:55to show you another use
22:57of the voracious bite ability
22:58Kohen uses
22:59to drain people's blood.
23:01In combat,
23:01it will both replenish
23:03your health
23:03and deal some damage.
23:09Time to move on.
23:10Let's explore
23:11the other areas
23:12in the courtyard.
23:23Let's use the sword
23:24this time
23:24because, yes,
23:25you can fight
23:26with a sword
23:26as a vampire too.
23:28But before we engage,
23:29let's adjust the camera.
23:31Camera placement
23:32was one of the hottest topics
23:33after our gameplay reveal.
23:35We've got lots
23:36of feedback about it
23:37and we decided
23:38to add a second option
23:39for those of you
23:39who prefer the camera
23:41slightly further away
23:42from the character.
23:43The camera will be
23:44adjustable for combat
23:45and exploration separately
23:47so you can choose
23:48the setup you prefer.
23:54Kohen's faster
23:55using the sword
23:55as a vampire
23:56compared to his human form.
24:05Take notice
24:15of the hourglass icon
24:16next to our objective.
24:18It indicates
24:18that opening the crypt
24:19will move the time forward.
24:26How about here?
24:30Saint-Mihai's symbol.
24:32Let's open the entrance
24:34and investigate the crypt.
24:54Lighting up a torch
24:55might be a good idea.
25:00This place must have been
25:01sealed off for ages.
25:04I wonder why.
25:18We can hear some moaning
25:20coming from behind
25:21one of the walls.
25:22Let's investigate this.
25:25Is that...
25:26moaning?
25:29I think it's coming
25:30from behind this wall.
25:34Hello?
25:39Hello?
25:41Can you hear me?
25:52Can you hear me?
25:54Ah!
25:54Can you hear me?
25:55Wait, are you?
26:18Are you Mihai?
26:20We've been attacked by Mihai, who was an important figure in the valley.
26:50And for some reason, he was buried alive in the catacombs.
26:57Of course, as players, you'll be able to learn why that has happened, but we'd like to avoid
27:02too many spoilers here.
27:03That's why we are stopping this presentation mid-fight.
27:14We hope that you have enjoyed seeing how much variation there is behind just one of the
27:19objectives in the game.
27:20Remember, our design principle is the narrative sandbox.
27:24There is no difference between main quests and side quests.
27:28They are just different stories that you weave together into your own unique adventure.
