Temptation Quest Answers | Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon

In Act II’s **Temptation quest**, you’ll confront a fiery priest determined to burn provocative literature. To resolve this peacefully, you must reference specific sermons scattered around his hideout.

Below is the optimal path to persuade him without violence—or accidental arson.

Step 1: Locate the Sermons

Three critical texts must be read **before** engaging the priest. All are found in his chamber:

🔸 A Sermon on the Path to Discipline – Behind the priest, perched on a crate to the right.
🔸 A Sermon on Purity and Temperance – Left side, highest shelf behind him.
🔸 A Clarification on Purity and Temperance – Adjacent to the previous text.

Important: Reading all three unlocks key dialogue choices.

Step 2: Skill Checks (Optional)

Strength or Perception checks allow bypassing the debate. If failed, search **under the table** for an incriminating letter. Presenting it forces the priest to negotiate.

Step 3: Dialogue Sequence

Use these responses in order:

“Yet it is not the act of the hand that condemns, but the heart that guides it astray.”
“You seem to adopt an accusatory tone… what about forgiveness?”
(Proceed with the only available option)
“I think you allocate sanctity to the wrong things.”
(Choose the single option again)
“But is it really for you to judge? Even the Prophet is careful in judgment.”
“I believe people should decide for themselves what to do with their own bodies.”
“I’ve met people tempted before… good hearts, doing good things.”

Success persuades the priest to stand down, letting you retrieve the books.
