Successfully romancing Beor in Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon requires careful effort rather than accidental choices. The process involves **rescuing him**, **assisting in reconstructing his heart** (in a literal sense), and **remaining loyal** through perilous missions. **Critical mistakes** could ruin your chances or lead to his demise.
Step 1: Rescue Beor From the Fae
- Begin the “Change of Heart” Quest: In Cuanacht’s craftsman district, locate the blacksmith’s house to find Erfyr and a gravely injured Beor.
- Explore the Cave: Travel northwest of town to a marked cave. Defeat the Fae creature at the waterfall’s peak and retrieve Beor’s stolen heart.
- Restore His Heart: Return the heart to Erfyr, who revives Beor and reopens the forge.
Step 2: Craft a Functional Heart for Beor
- Unlock “The Heart That Defies” Quest: Revisit Beor after a few days. He’ll ask for help creating a stable replacement heart.
- Consult Kvorr: Find this NPC southeast of town. He’ll forge the heart if you gather materials, but its power source determines Beor’s fate.
- Critical Choice:
- Sacrifice Innocents: Results in Beor’s descent into madness.
- Abandon the Heart: Leaves him emotionally withdrawn.
- Sacrifice 40 Max HP: The only path to romance. Beor fully recovers and bonds with you.
Step 3: Gather Materials for Beor’s Warhammer
- Start “Stitch by Stitch” Quest: Beor requests resources to craft a warhammer for someone important to him.
- Required Items:
- Black Alder Branches: Collected from the western swamp.
- Beor’s Family Iron: Buried north of town (requires a shovel).
- Whispering Crystals: Mined south of the city gates.
- Prepare for combat: Each location is guarded by hostile creatures.
Step 4: Confess Your Feelings
- Complete the Warhammer: After delivering all materials, Beor confesses his feelings and gifts you Heartwrought—a warhammer requiring 15 Strength with high stagger potential.
- Romance Lock-In: Choose to reciprocate his feelings to solidify the relationship. He’ll support your adventures but urges you to visit occasionally.
