InTainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon, the best spells are the ones that are found in random chests out in the wild, tucked away in a forgotten corner in a dungeon, or found on an unnamed corpse halfway across the ocean.
While the most fun to be had is to find these spells naturally by stumbling upon them by accident, for players who want to get theirmage build onlinequickly, this might be too slow. In order to get a jump start and not get left behind the difficulty curve, it’s important to know where to look when exploring Avalon.
10Blood Transfusion
Blood Lake & Island Asylum
Alongside Burning Ember, Blood Transfusion is one of the two spells that can be obtained in the starting area, Island Asylum. However, it’s easy to miss it as players can easily ignore the altar where it is located and continue with the storyline. If theyleave the Asylum with Caradoc, there is no way to return.
Luckily, Blood Transfusion can also be found on the mainland of Avalon. From where players crashland on the beach, head north until a large blood-red lake with a big statue in the middle appears. This is the Blood Lake. Swimming over to the statue and praying to it will grant players another copy of Blood Transfusion, one of the best status-afflicting spells in the game.
9Flickerbolt
Horns of the South Fort
Flickerbolt can be purchased for400 goldfrom Jann Peber, the resident doctor at the Horns of the South Fort. He can be found in Jann’s Quarters, directly behind the player stash location.
Jann Peber also sells Venom Flick, Hailstone, and Burning Ember. However, among them, Flickerbolt is the best option, as not only does it cost little to cast, but Heavy Casting can allow it to chain between enemies, giving mage builds an easy way to deal with multiple swarming enemies at early levels.
8Wolf’s Call
Miner’s Tunnel
Wolf’s Call is a summoning spell that summons a large black wolf with glowing patterns on it. The wolf is not especially strong, but it’s quite fast, which means it can keep up with fast-moving enemies and provide adequate support by forcibly tanking enemies.
Wolf’s Call can be found in the Miner’s Tunnel, northeast of the Blood Lake. Simply follow the road until a large statue of King Arthur appears; the Miner’s Tunnel’s entrance is underneath it. To find Wolf’s Call, defeat the Buggane, the local boss, and enter the door behind it. Jump down and follow the tunnel until a small lake appears. Cross the lake and turn left to find the crate with Wolf’s Call in it.
7Life Transfusion
Blood Cave
Life Transfusion is an upgraded version of Blood Transfusion, which can be found in Blood Cave.The Blood Cave’s entrance is located under the red waters of the Blood Lake, beneath the large statue.
Enter the Blood Cave and defeat Mallory, the NPC guarding the path ahead. Clear the dungeon and defeat the final boss, Blood Abomination, to obtain some powerful loot. After it is defeated, take the tunnel behind towards the exit. At the end of this tunnel is a chest with the Life Transfusion spell in it.
6Summon Keeper
Wreck of Andraste
In the sea east of the coastline is a lone island, visible in the distance. It’s directly east of Smuggler’s Bay. Behind this island is the Wreck of Andraste, a location related toLady Elain’s questline, “The Last Voyage.”
On the northern side of the island is a corpse with the Summon Keeper spell. Summon Keeper summons a human fighter wielding a bow and arrow. He is relatively slow but serves as excellent ranged support for dedicated summoner builds.
5Winter Crone’s Wrath
Eckheart’s Cave
In the northernmost section of the Horns of the South map is the Shrine of the Druid, easily accessible by taking the road north from the Ancient Cromlech Fast Travel point. Just west of this shrine is the hidden entrance to Eckheart’s Cave, a quest location for the “Behind the Curtain Lays a Darker World.” This quest is triggered by talking to Taranis in the Mistbearer Cave.
In Eckheart’s Cave is a hidden tunnel next to a bookcase (pictured above). Crouch down to enter the tunnel to find a locked chest and some crates. The Winter Crone’s Wrath spell is inside the chest.
4Abhartach’s Calling
Forgotten Cemetery
Abhartach’s Calling is a unique spell that allows players to siphon off health from corpses, making it one of the best ways to recover health outside of combat. Abhartach’s Calling can be obtained as one of the possible rewards for clearing the Forgotten Cemetery.
To get it, enter the Forgotten Cemetery and convince Yorath to become an undead as part of the main questline. Then, talk to Huardoc, the talkative undead guard near the entrance. He’ll agree to take care of his former master as part of his duties and reward the player with the Abhartach’s Calling spell.
3Thunder Lash
Abandoned Stronghold
Thunder Lash is one of the most mana-efficient spells inTainted Grail: The Fall of Avalonand can be obtained from multiple locations. However, the easiest way to obtain it is through the Abandoned Stronghold, the residence of Silent Silia, one of the targets of the bounty issued by Cillian.
Enter the Stronghold after defeating the gate guards and turn right. There is a small archway leading to a wooden door. The Thunder Lash spell is pinned to the door alongside a Parrying Dagger.
2Scorching Blaze
Scorching Blaze is among the most potent fire spells in all of Act 1 inTainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon, and it can be obtained in the same location as the Thunder Lash spell: The Abandoned Stronghold.
Climb the scaffolding around the inner walls of the Stronghold to reach the top and defeat Silent Silia. Continue exploring the scaffolding, and the Scorching Blaze will appear inside a locked chest.
1Scorching Pathway
Crypt of Sewal Firstfoot
Scorching Pathway is a piercing spell, one of the very few in the game, which means it can be used to efficiently whittle down crowds of enemies. Best of all, Heavy Casting Scorching Pathway makes the AoE bigger, catching more enemies.
Players can find Scorching Pathway in Sewal’s Tomb in the Sunken Village, a location that is only accessible if playerschoose to side with One-Eye and kill Galahadduring the course of the main story. Once inside, the spell can be found behind the statue in the first room on the right.
