| Area | Goal | Quests & Cinematics | ||||
 Astarion: |
Who the hells was that?! | |||||
 Kas: |
Strahd von Zarovich! That Osybus ritual must have been keeping him out of this place. His power now flows through this house! | |||||
 Blooshi: |
That must have been what Alvina was trying to warn us about. | |||||
 Reya: |
Well, it's too late now. We have to find Strahd - he took the piece of the rod. Maybe if we can get out of this house, he'll try to stop us, and we can get the rod. | |||||
Astarion: |
Well, when you've killed one vampire lord, why not another? Let's get this terrible plan underway! | |||||
| 1 | Defeat 25 Enemies | That vampire left a swarm of bats for us! Break some wings! | ||||
| 2 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Didn't I say to get rid of these bats? How can there be more?! | ||||
Astarion: |
Uh, were these vampire spawn here the whole time? | |||||
 Sgt. Knox: |
Where did those come from? | |||||
Kas: |
This is Strahd's magic. Dangers could appear at any time. Stay on your guard! | |||||
| 3 | Collect 25 Stakes | Stake a vampire - then pick it up and do it again! | ||||
| 4 | Defeat 25 Enemies | They're coming out of the walls! Keep killing! | ||||
| 5 | Defeat the Vampire Bat | Whoa! That vampire bat just formed out of shadow! I gotta learn that one! | ||||
Sgt. Knox: |
That seems to be all - at least for now. Let's retrace our steps and get back upstairs. | |||||
Astarion: |
Wait, is this the room that we came from before? I thought there were more torture devices... | |||||
Reya: |
No time for sightseeing - come on! | |||||
| 6 | Defeat 25 Enemies | This is definitely not the right way - but those flameskulls are going to attack us either way! Protect me! | ||||
| 7 | Defeat 25 Enemies | This doesn't look right, either. Fight these flameskulls while I try to figure this out. | ||||
| 8 | Collect 25 Bat Wings | Grab some bat wings, and we'll leave a trail so we know we aren't going in circles! | ||||
| 9 | Defeat 25 Enemies | The crypt? That's not right - that was at the start of the dungeon! And now skeletons are crawling out of the walls! | ||||
Reya: |
This has to be - Wait, we're back in the ritual room? How is that possible? | |||||
Kas: |
Hmm... | |||||
Blooshi: |
We never doubled back. This isn't possible. | |||||
Sgt. Knox: |
We must have taken a wrong turn at some point. Let's try again. | |||||
| 10 | Defeat the Resurrected Hero of the Vale | Before you can try again - that sacrificed hero of the vale is getting back up! Send him back to the afterlife! | ||||
Sgt. Knox: |
This isn't right. I'm sure this was not the room we just came from. | |||||
Blooshi: |
This has to be what Strahd meant by being trapped here. The dungeon is shifting! It's keeping us away from the exit! | |||||
Reya: |
That's impossible. There's no way he's that powerful. | |||||
Kas: |
I... | |||||
Reya: |
No. He's not that powerful, and we're getting out of here. Come on - we'll take this slower this time. | |||||
| 11 | Defeat 25 Enemies | You may be taking this slower - but those undead aren't! Break some bones! | ||||
| 12 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Back in the library! All right, this is good! Maybe there's a book that can help us. You fight - I'll peruse... | ||||
| 13 | Collect 25 Claws | Same plan as last time - collect those claws, and we'll leave a trail! | ||||
Kas: |
Reya, I think I know how I can get us out of here. ...But you're not going to like it. | |||||
Reya: |
Then I don't want to hear about it. | |||||
Kas: |
Reya - | |||||
Reya: |
No. We'll keep trying this for now. If... if things get too dark we can talk about your plan I won't like. | |||||
Kas: |
All right. | |||||
| 14 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Mimics! They could be anything! Even a door! ...Wait, that would be diabolical... I love it! | ||||
| 15 | Defeat the Greater Mimic | That's a BIG mimic! Do you think it's a bunch of mimics formed together? Don't find out from the inside! | ||||
Astarion: |
All right - well, this is promising, right? We're not back in the ritual room. Maybe Blooshi was wrong! | |||||
Blooshi: |
Listen, you're not the only one hoping I'm wrong. | |||||
Sgt. Knox: |
No time for discussion. Let's keep moving and hope for the best. | |||||
Astarion: |
I don't do that last one very well. | |||||
| 16 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Darkmantles are descending from the ceiling! Don't let one fall on me! | ||||
| 17 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Chokers are moving along the walls! Don't let us get surrounded! | ||||
| 18 | Collect 25 Spider Legs | I'm out of claws - get some of those spider legs and we'll use those as the trail now! | ||||
Reya: |
We're back in the crypt. Did we get turned around? | |||||
 Vecna: |
My trail of claws and spider legs says no. | |||||
Reya: |
It's fine. We just have to keep moving forward. | |||||
| 19 | Defeat 25 Enemies | I'm sure a repeat room bodes well for us. Cut down these enemies so we can get out of here! | ||||
Reya: |
NO! This can't be possible! | |||||
Blooshi: |
We're trapped here. Forever. | |||||
Vecna: |
Anyone bring any card games? They really help the centuries pass - trust me. | |||||
Kas: |
I think it's time - | |||||
Reya: |
No! We're not giving up yet! | |||||
| 20 | Defeat the Revenant | While Reya has a breakdown - more corpses are getting back up. You should probably do something about that. | ||||
Kas: |
Reya, there's no way out of this. I think it's time you hear - | |||||
Reya: |
No. I already know what you're going to say and no. | |||||
Kas: |
If you'll just - | |||||
Reya: |
Kas, I'm not stupid. If Strahd is this powerful as a Dread Lord, the only way we can get out of this is if we have something as powerful as a Dread Lord. | |||||
Blooshi: |
I'm confused. | |||||
Reya: |
Kas wants to accept the Dark Powers so we can break us out of here. | |||||
Kas: |
...It's the only way. | |||||
| 21 | Defeat 25 Enemies | I did not see that coming - and neither did these nothics! Which is wild, considering their giant eye... | ||||
Sgt. Knox: |
And what if you just try to kill us? | |||||
Kas: |
I spent enough time with the Dark Powers that I'm sure I can hold them back. | |||||
Sgt. Knox: |
And if you can't? | |||||
Kas: |
Then I'll be honest with you and tell you before they take over. As soon as I say that - you kill me. When I die, the Dark Powers will flee. | |||||
Reya: |
There has to be another way. | |||||
Kas: |
Reya, be honest with yourself. You know this is the only way you can get out of here alive. | |||||
Reya: |
What happens afterward? How do we get the Dark Powers away from you again? | |||||
Kas: |
That's why I said that this is how YOU survive this. Not me. No matter what happens, I won't be returning with you. | |||||
| 22 | Defeat 25 Enemies | More nothics are appearing out of nowhere! Send them back to the shadows! | ||||
Sgt. Knox: |
So, how do we do this? | |||||
Kas: |
I'll need to reach out to the Dark Powers with a ritual. I'll need some time. | |||||
Astarion: |
That's something we have in great supply down here. Get to it - we'll watch your back. | |||||
| 23 | Collect 25 Enchanted Amber | Those darkmantles are dropping enchanted amber! Maybe it can help Kas' ritual - pick some up! | ||||
 Dark Powers Telepathically: |
What is this? | |||||
 Kas Telepathically: |
I've reconsidered your proposal. | |||||
Dark Powers Telepathically: |
It is far too late for that. Tell us why we should not kill you now while the connection is strong. | |||||
Kas Telepathically: |
Because you wanted me for a reason - and I think you still do. I give myself willingly to you. I embrace your darkness. | |||||
Dark Powers Telepathically: |
We do not believe you. This is a trick! | |||||
| 24 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Is it me, or are there even MORE monsters in here than there were before? Do something about that! | ||||
Blooshi: |
Uh, that devourer thing is starting to move again! | |||||
Astarion: |
Perhaps I was too generous with the amount of time we had - KAS, HURRY UP! | |||||
| 25 | Defeat the Devourer | If you let me get devoured, I swear I will haunt each of you for eternity! | ||||
Kas Telepathically: |
If you don't accept I will fall into Strahd's hands. He could very well be planning to figure out how I escaped Tovag so that he can escape Barovia. | |||||
Dark Powers Telepathically: |
[Growls] | |||||
Kas Telepathically: |
Either you take my deal, or you risk losing a second Dread Lord. It's your choice. | |||||
Dark Powers Telepathically: |
...Very well. We accept. | |||||
Reya: |
Kas... are you... | |||||
Kas: |
[Groans] I'm fine. I'm... It's taking a lot to contain the powers and hold this dungeon in place. We have to move quickly! | |||||
Astarion: |
You don't have to tell me twice - let's get going! | |||||
| 26 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Looks like some cultists were caught in here as well | ||||
| 27 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Things are looking like they did the first time through! But we're not out of the woods - or dungeon - yet! | ||||
| 28 | Collect 25 Vials of Ectoplasm | Grab some vials of ectoplasm - it might help Kas battle the Dark Powers! ...Yes, he'd have to drink it - just pick it up! | ||||
Sgt. Knox: |
How are you holding up, Kas? | |||||
Kas: |
Argh - as best I can. I don't know how much longer I can hold them back while also holding off Strahd's influence on the house. | |||||
Sgt. Knox: |
It's not much further - just hold on! | |||||
| 29 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Still feels weird rooting for Kas, but these are strange times, right? Oh well, fight some cultists! | ||||
 Priest of Osybus: |
You will pay for the destruction you have caused! | |||||
Blooshi: |
Oh, stuff it - will you? Can't you see we've got bigger things going on? | |||||
Priest of Osybus: |
DIE! | |||||
| 30 | Defeat the Priest of Osybus | This priest isn't taking the hint - send him to the afterlife! | ||||
Kas: |
AGH! I can't hold back the house any longer... The... The Dark Powers are breaking through. | |||||
Sgt. Knox: |
Do we... | |||||
Kas: |
Not yet. I'm still me. But keep your sword ready. | |||||
| 31 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Uh, does this hallway look strange to anyone else? And it's not just the ghosts - those are normal at this point. | ||||
| 32 | Defeat 25 Enemies | These ghosts really want us to know this is a haunted house! Anyone got any sage? | ||||
Kas: |
AGH! | |||||
 Sword of Kas: |
...This was a bad idea. | |||||
Kas: |
[Gritting teeth] It was the only way. | |||||
Sword of Kas: |
Why do you care if they live? | |||||
Kas: |
...Because I want to be better. | |||||
Sword of Kas: |
What? | |||||
Kas: |
I don't want to end up like that other version of me in The Mortuary. I... I didn't like what I saw. I want a second chance to do good - and this feels like the good thing to do. | |||||
Sword of Kas: |
... | |||||
| 33 | Collect 25 Raven Feathers | Those vampire spawn are dropping raven feathers! We may be able to push back Strahd with those! Don't ask questions - it's complicated! | ||||
| 34 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Sure are a lot of vampires in here! Feels kind of like where a vampire lord might be. Get rid of these before he shows up! | ||||
Astarion: |
It's Strahd! | |||||
Vecna: |
Psh, no - that's just a cheap illusion. | |||||
Sgt. Knox: |
Real or not - we have to do something about it! | |||||
| 35 | Defeat the Strahd, Haunted Illusion | That Strahd illusion will still hit just as hard as the real thing - so get rid of it quickly! | ||||
Blooshi: |
What the - did we escape? Are we out of the house? | |||||
Kas: |
No - ARGH - This is more of Strahd's influence. Be on your guard. | |||||
Astarion: |
Anyone else feel like we're always on our guard? | |||||
| 36 | Defeat 25 Enemies | This may be an illusion - but I do like the look of this place. Well, except for the blights. Get rid of those! | ||||
| 37 | Defeat 25 Enemies | I still see vine blights! Do something about that! | ||||
Astarion: |
Does... does that gravestone have my name on it? | |||||
Reya: |
It does - and that one has mine! | |||||
Sgt. Knox: |
Perhaps we need to gather the correct gravestones in order for us to escape. | |||||
Astarion: |
Worth a shot. | |||||
| 38 | Collect 25 Gravestones | Picking up gravestones that have your own names on them? Wish I'd thought of that one! | ||||
| 39 | Defeat 25 Enemies | To my surprise - the gravestones have seemed to work! I think I can see the exit! | ||||
| 40 | Defeat the Tree Blight | That tree blight stands between us and escape! Chop it down! | ||||
Reya: |
We're back in the house! | |||||
Astarion: |
Strange hearing that with so much excitement to it. | |||||
Sgt. Knox: |
Hush - we need to move quickly before the Dark Powers take Kas. Hurry! | |||||
| 41 | Defeat 25 Enemies | You heard Knox - but these ghosts are in our way! | ||||
| 42 | Defeat 25 Enemies | I feel like there have been more ghosts than people who have lived in Barovia - are they coming BACK?! | ||||
| 43 | Collect 25 Lost Souls | The cultists are trying another ritual! Take those lost souls before they can complete it! | ||||
| 44 | Defeat 25 Enemies | These look like the last of the cultists - clear them out! | ||||
Kas: |
AH! I... I can't hold on... Knox - end it! | |||||
Sgt. Knox: |
Just keep holding on. We're not done yet! | |||||
Kas: |
You said you would take care of this! ARGH! DO IT! | |||||
Sgt. Knox: |
We can save you! | |||||
Sword of Kas: |
No, you can't. If you won't end this - I will. | |||||
Sgt. Knox: |
What? No! | |||||
| 45 | Defeat the Sword of Kas | The Sword of Kas is trying to kill Kas! I... I can't help but feel ...proud? But you should probably stop it! | ||||
Sword of Kas: |
Enough of this! [Flies over party and stabs through Kas] | |||||
Kas: |
[Death rattle] | |||||
Sword of Kas: |
... | |||||
Dark Powers: |
A failure to the very end... [Vanishes] | |||||
Sword of Kas: |
What I do now I do only for you. Take this second chance. [Breaks with an explosion of dark energy] | |||||
Kas: |
[Gasps] | |||||
Reya: |
Kas! You're alive! | |||||
Kas: |
I... The sword... It... It saved me... | |||||
Blooshi: |
The door is unlocked! The sword's energy must have broken Strahd's influence! | |||||
Astarion: |
Enough talking - let's get out of here before it locks again! | |||||
| 46 | Defeat 25 Enemies | There's A LOT of vampire spawn out here! Stake as many as you can! | ||||
 Strahd: |
Fools! Did you really think I would let you live if you escaped the house? | |||||
Reya: |
Did you think we wouldn't get that piece of the rod back? | |||||
Strahd: |
[Scoffs] I've dined on adventurers stronger than you. You're welcome to attempt to take the piece from me if you can survive my creatures of darkness! | |||||
Astarion: |
He really lays it on thick, doesn't he? | |||||
| 47 | Defeat 25 Enemies | Poison-spitting bats! I don't need to worry about that - but you living people probably should! | ||||
Reya: |
Kas, are you - | |||||
Kas: |
I'll be fine. I need some time after what just happened... I... I'm gonna need a weapon if I'm gonna help. | |||||
Astarion: |
[Tosses a dagger] It's the best we have - hope you don't mind the size. | |||||
Kas: |
I can still kill with this - thanks. | |||||
| 48 | Collect 25 Shadow Gems | Those zombies have shadow gems - Strahd must be drawing power from them! Take them! | ||||
| 49 | Defeat 25 Enemies | This is the last group before we get to Strahd! Slice them up! | ||||
Strahd: |
You're stronger than I thought - I'll give you that. But tonight, your bones will soak in the blood of those who failed before you. | |||||
Astarion: |
That's a good line - but I've heard better. You know, for being the first vampire, I was really expecting more. | |||||
Strahd: |
Your master should teach you some respect. | |||||
Astarion: |
I killed my master, just like we're about to kill you! | |||||
| 50 | Defeat the Strahd, Undying Lord | He's using the power of the piece of the rod! Don't underestimate this powered-up Dread Lord! | ||||
Strahd: |
[Drops the piece of the rod] AH! You insolent fiends! Fine! Take the piece of the rod - the next time we meet, I will peel the flesh from your bones! | |||||
Astarion: |
Yeah, yeah, yeah - get flying, bat boy! | |||||
Reya: |
We did it! | |||||
Sgt. Knox: |
No time to celebrate - those villagers are coming this way. Quickly - to the portal! | |||||
