Where to find all Ancient Circles in The Blood of Dawnwalker
There are 13 Ancient Circles in The Blood of Dawnwalker, as you can see in the map images below. Here’s what you need to know about these activities:
- This type of activity can only be done during the day. That’s because, upon arriving at a location, you need to have access to your Astral Communion skill, which is part of the Witchcraft tree.
- Start the trial by holding the Focus button and interacting with the glowing altar. This action uses up 1x Time Segment.
- Multiple specter and undead enemies will be summoned. These include Vidmos, Psoglavs, and Guardians.
- We’ve listed the notable rewards that you can find in each chest. Most of these are actually skill manuals.
- The whole process is somewhat similar to what you need to do when tackling Haunted Site objectives.
