How to Complete Dead as Dreams Quest in Tainted Grail The Fall of Avalon
Image via: Awaken Realms
In Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon, quests have their own way of presenting ethical dilemmas, whirlwind player instincts, and delve into deeper lore. One such "Dead as Dreams" is a special case as it begins with an undead infestation only to morph into something far more complicated.
It is not merely a battle against rot—it is a philosophical discussion on death, research, and how far to take trust.
A Quiet Fire in Forgotten Places
After your horrifying escape from the Island Asylum and first meeting with the Keepers, Fearghas wastes no time in bringing you along on the investigation of a new undead threat. His urgency is palpable, and the task itself seems straightforward: find the source of the undead rising near the Forgotten Cemetery and wipe it out.
But the journey starts around a quiet campfire. Sitting among crumbling ruins is Margh, your contact and guide into the depths of this strange affair.
Margh sets the tone-not one of dread, but one of weariness.
Dead As Dreams Quest (Forgotten Cemetery) - Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon
It is in the cemetery crypt where the quest starts tumbling off the rails. After hurling your way through waves of skeletons and corpse eaters, you find an unexpected companion: Huardoc, a sentient undead and caretaker of the place
The true target is not some evil being, but an enigma: Yorath, the necromancer.
He is not raising an army, as the Keepers fear, but rather pondering how death can serve the living. Yorath is not immediately hostile but rather enables one of the deepest dialogue opportunities in the entire game. Calm, articulate, and disturbingly rational.
Consequences of Choice
If fighting is your choice, Yorath is formidable, summoning skeletons and casting strong spells: Use cover and ranged attacks to survive. Should you, however, spare Yorath, whether out of curiosity, sympathy, or reward for necromantic knowledge, you will come to learn some unique necromancer spells and receive a different narrative outcome.
Yet, deception comes at a price. You may lie to Fearghas, thereby preserving the fragile peace, or you may tell the truth and suffer consequences from the Keepers. Killing Yorath once he's been persuaded is another option—one cold consideration that reflects the game's greater themes of survival versus morality.
Dead as Dreams – Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon
The concluding task sees the unusual bond between master and servant honored. Now free of service, Huardoc demands you bury Yorath's remains, an act which grants entrance into the Hall of Necromancers - a hidden hall of crypts, alchemical supplies, and ancient artifacts. This closing moment perfectly encapsulates what makes Dead as Dreams so compelling.

Heart of Gold: MS Dhoni shows up at childhood friend's birthday and the friend's reaction was priceless
Mahendra Singh Dhoni has always been known for his calm, grounded presence on and off the cricket pitch. While his leadership on the field made fans swoon and opponents tremble, it's his humility away from the spotlight that truly defines him. Locally, Dhoni is known as a man who cherishes close bonds and embraces life without fanfare, and rarely makes public appearances. Perhaps that is why a recent moment in Ranchi, his hometown, felt even more special. MS Dhoni surprises his friend in Ranchi On June 22, 2025, a warm, candid moment in Ranchi found its way on social media and then straight into our hearts. A video shows Dhoni quietly entering the birthday celebration of his childhood friend, Surendra, and standing at the back of a crowded room. Dressed in a simple black t-shirt and trousers, he remained hidden among the crowd and smiled while watching as Surendra cut the cake. Dhoni wins the hearts of his fans When Surendra offered Dhoni a slice, Dhoni pointed toward Surendra's wife, telling him to feed her first. 'Pehle bhabhi ko khilaye, aapko yahi rehna hai, humlog to chale jayenge,' he joked, lightening the mood. As seen in the video, the gesture touched Surendra deeply as he appeared teary-eyed. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Top 5 Dividend Stocks for May 2025 Seeking Alpha Read More Undo To see a world-renowned sports icon prioritize those closest to him, in such a simple moment, showed how genuine Dhoni truly is.

VIDEO: MS Dhoni refuses to eat birthday cake at his friend's house for THIS reason and stands quietly at the back
When a phone-camera video from a modest Ranchi living room surfaced on June 22, it rocketed across social media within hours. The clip captured Mahendra Singh Dhoni, one of the more private sporting icon in India, quietly attending long-time friend and tennis coach Surender Kumar's birthday gathering. Standing at the back while guests belted out the lyrics to 'Happy Birthday,' Dhoni blended into the chorus until the cake advanced in his direction. MS Dhoni: 'Feed Kaki first' The video was shared on the Instagram page of the cricketer's friend, Surender Kumar (a.k.a. ' Kaka '). In it, the host attempts to feed the second slice of cake to Dhoni, who quickly grinned and rejected the piece as he pointed to the host's wife. He then quipped in Hindi, 'Feed your wife first; you live here, I'll be gone soon..' The room immediately cracked up. The light joke doubled as etiquette advice, and Dhoni slipped back into the crowd. After being fed a piece by 'Kaki,' he once again offers a piece to Dhoni. However, Dhoni quickly stopped him, suggesting the children be fed instead. Only after the two youngsters were served did he finally accept a bite. The exchange lasted under a minute, yet users labelled it 'classic MSD,' praising the 43-year-old's restraint and social awareness. Viral numbers and genuine tears Kumar had posted the reel with the caption 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAKA SIR. THANK YOU SO MUCH MAHI SIR' with a cake emoji and hearts. The video quickly garnered attention, and amassed over 14,000 likes. A later video of events from the same day depicted Dhoni feeding Kumar as well. Within 48 hours the upload had drawn more than 600,000 views and 60,000 likes. As fans spotted Kumar wiping his eyes as Dhoni offered him cake, they realized just how personal the visit was. Replies ranged from 'Luckiest man alive' to 'That's why we love him… simplicity and down to earth….my captain!' Dhoni's pattern of private gestures The Free Press Journal notes this is as the second consecutive year Dhoni has turned up for the same friend's celebration, slipping in without PR staff or photographers. Away from public stadiums, the former India captain routinely shuns big parties. When he does venture out, he leaves with minimal fuss, drivers idling no longer than necessary. The birthday detour came a month after Chennai Super Kings' forgettable IPL campaign, where Dhoni collected 196 runs at 24.50 and CSK finished last. Results, however, have little effect on his aura. Fresh off his ICC Hall of Fame induction, Dhoni's real legacy seems to be the ease with which he trades global stardom for small-town courtesy. He proves yet again that charisma can look a lot like good manners.
