Finding a way to escape the neverending nightmare of Home Sweet Home in Blood of Dawnwalker took me longer than I'd care to admit. Like me, you probably thought defeating Aurelius in The Silts Tower would be a quick in-out jobbie, but now you're trapped in a grindy dream sequence defeating endless tides of spectres.
Fear not, though, there is a way to escape the dream, and I'll explain how below. If you're here and haven't encountered this quest yet, firstly, why? Secondly, leave now so as not to spoil yourself.
How to complete Home Sweet Home in Blood of Dawnwalker
After you run through the dream sequence once, having breakfast with your family, watching as they're kidnapped by a flying monster, then saving them all and heading to the church, you'll realise you're stuck in a time loop. In fact, I completed this whole sequence twice, after which, even the same dialogue repeats.
To break free from this neverending cycle, you need to interact with the well in the village. You can only do this after you've completed the whole dream sequence once. On the second runthrough, when you save your siblings from the spectres in the village, instead of continuing up the hill to your father, turn right in the area where you fought them to spot a well you can interact with. This sequence will open up a new route you can take.
You'll then find yourself in a funeral scene in a church and will have to examine the characters present in the correct order as the priest reads his sermon. The correct order is:
- Alin (in the coffin)
- Esme (Coen's mum on the right)
- Coen (the small child on the left)
After this, it's all smooth sailing. You'll leave the church and examine a clearing, and then head down to the river, where the dream concludes and you're able to escape back into reality and Aurelius's Tower in The Silts.
