Search Barovia for "Evil's Bride."
Area Goal Quests & Cinematics
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Finding the trail back to the village is all but impossible in this fog. We'll end up wandering in circles if we're not careful.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Best make 'em small circles, then. Madam Eva made it clear that findin' evil's bride is tha startin' point fer us gettin' ta Strahd -- and gettin' ourselves home.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
But who in the village was she talking about? Does Strahd have some agent there?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Whatever it is, I'm sure we'll be learning any number of things we'll wish we hadn't known before this day is done...
1 Defeat 25 Monsters The Barovian wood is a deadly gauntlet. Take these twig blights down!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Them blights ain't lettin' up. Fast as I bash 'em down, two more spring out!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
We don't know how Strahd's magic infects these woods. Seize the shattered fragments of these blights! It might hinder the magic that draws them forth.
2 Collect 25 Twig Blight Pieces More blights assault your position. Tear these fiendish shrubs down for good!
3 Defeat 25 Monsters The beasts of this realm fight with an unnatural ferocity.
4 Defeat 25 Monsters Boars and wolves surround you on all sides! Fight on!
5 Defeat the Angry Boar The fury of this mad boar keeps the remainder of the pack in this fight! Take it out!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Back at the Blood of the Vine at last. I'm sure I'm not the only one who could use a drink.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
The villagers don't appear overly pleased to see us. It's like all hope has been drained from this place.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
That chap at the corner table is smiling. And watching us. With that look of someone about to ask a favor...
Icon Portrait IsmarkKolyana
Ismark:
Outlanders, you have returned. I am Ismark, and I salute you. Not many have what it takes to survive the wilds of Barovia.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Feh. We been in worse places and survived with more style. But we got business with tha so-called master o' tha realm, this Strahd. Ye don't seem as struck fearful o' tha vampire as most o' yer village folk.
Icon Portrait IsmarkKolyana
Ismark:
I have no fear because I put all my soul into hate for that vile creature, and I don't care who knows it. But if facing him is your goal, I might beseech your aid.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Called it. I should be taking side bets on this sort of thing.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Hush, Jarlaxle. Ismark, please tell us more.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Oi! There's somethin' scrabblin' at tha windows. Time ta cut this conversation short!
6 Defeat 25 Monsters This pack of giant rats seems intent on having a raucous night at the Blood of the Vine. Show them it's not that kind of place.
7 Defeat 25 Monsters More rats swarm the tavern. Look sharp!
8 Defeat 25 Monsters Vampire spawn! Strahd's minions are intent on stopping your quest!
9 Collect 25 Stakes The tavern is well stocked with stakes to deal with this vampiric threat. Grab them!
10 Defeat the Zombie Rat A monstrous undead rat holds the rest of the rat pack in thrall. End its threat!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
I'm gettin' tha feelin' that as long as we're here, this tavern ain't gonna be much o' a place fer a quiet drink. Strahd knows we've come -- and he knows we're trouble fer him.
Icon Portrait IsmarkKolyana
Ismark:
And this is but a small taste of the vampire's wrath. My friends, I see you are heroes. My sister, Ireena, is in dire need. She has become an obsession for the devil Strahd. He visits her in dreams, and sends his minions to assault our home at all hours.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Well, we'd be good ta lend a hand, but makin' one stand won't drive back all o' this Strahd's thralls. Ye Barovians seem ta hold yer own well 'nuff, though.
Icon Portrait IsmarkKolyana
Ismark:
But the villagers shun Ireena and our family now. Strahd... the fiend bit my sister, and no one in the village will go near her now. But there is another settlement, Vallaki. Far from Castle Ravenloft and Strahd's view. If you escort Ireena there, she might be safe.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
You say she was bitten by Strahd? And he obsesses over her? My friends, I think this Ireena might be who we seek. A bride to evil, even if an unwilling one. Ismark, we must see your sister. Take us to her, please.
11 Defeat 25 Monsters Heading to Ismark's house will be easier said than done. Strahd zombies try to hold you at the tavern!
12 Defeat 25 Monsters A skeletal strike force pursues you. Fight on!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
We ain't makin' any headway here. Fast as we knock these undead down, more o' 'em shamble inta tha fight! And tha villagers are gettin' tha worst o' it!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
We need to lessen their threat some other way. Follow my lead!
13 Collect 25 Swords Well-armed skeletons are a much more potent threat to the village. Claim their weapons to even the odds!
14 Defeat 25 Monsters The last of the skeletons try to regroup. Finish this undead mob!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Make haste, friends. It won't take long for more undead to pick up our trail.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
There's the house ahead. But we're not the only ones here...
15 Defeat the Upright Crawling Claw The crawling claws that swarm the manor grounds mean to overwhelm you! Fight your way through!
Icon Portrait IsmarkKolyana
Ismark:
Ireena! I have brought friends who can help us. Champions, this is my sister.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Well met and all that, me lady. And sorry ta be brusque, but we got questions that need answerin' and no time ta spare.
Icon Portrait IreenaKoylana
Ireena:
This is folly. I know nothing that is any concern of yours. Ismark, you should not have done this.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Ireena, it's all right. Strahd is our enemy, too. We mean to fight him, but we need to determine where he's vulnerable. And I believe you might be the key to that.
Icon Portrait IreenaKoylana
Ireena:
No... I have dreams, but... Ismark claims I was bitten, but I don't remember it. I want nothing to do with that monster. His creatures' ceaseless attacks have cost us everything.
Icon Portrait IsmarkKolyana
Ismark:
Three nights ago, my friends, our father's heart gave in to fear and anguish. He was burgomaster here. A pillar of the community. And now no one in the village will even help us bury him for their fear of Strahd.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Well, that sounds like a small boon we can help ye and yer family with, lass. But unless me ears is hearin' things, we've got some more o' Strahd's critters ta deal with first.
16 Defeat 25 Monsters The Master of Ravenloft continues his efforts to break Ireena's will -- but he hasn't counted on you. Clear the threats from the mansion!
17 Defeat 25 Monsters Strahd's rats make a last stand to try to overwhelm you. Send this pack packing!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
That's done it fer them rats. Quick, now. We need ta get some kind o' contraption built ta carry tha coffin ta tha cemetery, all respectful-like.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
There's plenty of wood stored here from when the family boarded over the windows, and I saw an old cart outside. We can put a wagon together easily enough.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Hold that thought. Some of this wood is moving...
18 Collect 25 Planks Twig blights are trying to establish themselves inside the mansion -- and are in the way of the planks you need!
19 Defeat 25 Monsters Strahd's next assault has begun! Stand fast!
20 Defeat the Ghoul Lord The ghoul pack regroups behind its powerful master. Defeat this ghoul lord or all is lost!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Ireena, we've got yer house cleared, fer now at least. Now let's get yer dad ta his restin' place, as he deserves.
Icon Portrait IreenaKoylana
Ireena:
I... I can't thank you enough for this. I'm sorry for my anger earlier.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
It's all right, Ireena. We understand what you've been through.
Icon Portrait Strahd
Strahd:
You understand nothing, mortal. And your ignorant insolence will be your downfall...
Icon Portrait IsmarkKolyana
Ismark:
The devil Strahd has come! Watch yourselves, my friends!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
We always do, lad. But I'm guessin' he ain't come fer a fight this time. He's all but ignorin' us... and it's Ireena he's got eyes fer...
Icon Portrait Strahd
Strahd:
My darling... my Tatyana... why do you continue to spurn me so?
Icon Portrait IreenaKoylana
Ireena:
You talk no sense, monster. I am Ireena Kolyana, grieving daughter of a father you killed. Get out! Or I swear, I will lay down my life for any chance to destroy you.
Icon Portrait Strahd
Strahd:
No! My Tatyana, you cannot speak of such things... but I will make you understand, my darling... I will have you in time... No threats, no heroes will keep you from me again.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
He's taken mist form. Let him go, everyone. This isn't a fight we can win today. But I think I understand a few things now...
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Plenty o' time ta talk while we walk. Come on, all. We got a funeral ta attend.
21 Defeat 25 Monsters The route to the chapel is set to be a battleground. But with Ireena at your side, you can't let Strahd's servants get in your way!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
These creatures are legion. But we seem to be making headway.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
And I think I know why. Strahd's interest in Ireena works to our advantage while she's with us. He wants to scare her into capitulation, but he won't risk any harm coming to her.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Good fer her, that is. But these servants o' his are dealin' out more than 'nuff harm fer tha rest o' us. Look sharp!
22 Defeat 25 Monsters The street is temporarily cleared -- but the sky is darkened by Strahd's bat swarms!
23 Defeat 25 Monsters From bats to ravens. The creatures that serve the vampire have no end!
24 Collect 25 Raven Feathers The ravens are overwhelming you! Clip their wings to even the odds!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I can see the chapel and the cemetery just ahead. But there's a howling on the wind -- and it's getting closer.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Looks like that aerial assault was just softenin' us up fer tha main event...
25 Defeat the Dire Wolf A dire wolf leads a ravenous pack on the threshold of the chapel. Fight your way through!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
There's tha priest. 'Donavich,' Ismark was callin' him. Nayeli, maybe best ye speak with him. Ye and he can have all them fancy church words.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
My good priest. We are friends of Ireena and Ismark, and have come to help them bury their father, Kolyan Indirovich. We put ourselves in your hands, and the power of your faith.
Icon Portrait Donavich
Donavich:
No! This cannot be done... The dead come, I cannot bury them all... I cannot... I am not... Begone with you!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
... That was not the reaction I was expecting. Is there anyone in this village not consumed by fear, rage, or madness?
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Look there! Giant rats is swarmin'! That priest is gonna get consumed in a whole new way!
26 Defeat 25 Monsters If you have any hope of figuring out what's got this priest in a panic, you'll need to save him first -- and secure the chapel!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
There's more folk there by the altar! Quickly, get them to safety.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Wait a mountain minute... those don't look like parishioners ta me!
27 Defeat 25 Monsters A force of bandits has slipped inside the chapel under cover of the chaos. Show them the door!
28 Collect 25 Foreign Coins These bandits are too bold to scatter. Lightening the load of their spoils might give them cause to think again.
29 Defeat 25 Monsters The bandits regroup with annoying tenacity. Stand fast!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Away with you! You will not desecrate this place of refuge with your thievery this day!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
That one there with tha crossbow. She's givin' tha orders. Looks like these curs fear her more than they care about any sense o' what's right.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Well, let's see if they fear a righteous anger. Follow me!
30 Defeat the Barovian Bandit Leader This brigand mob won't give up until its leader is bested. Take her out!
31 Defeat 25 Monsters A last few straggler bandits haven't figured out that this fight is done. Send them that message one last time!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Never met a group o' more dedicated bandits in me life. That were a fight and a half, and make no mistake.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
It's the effect of a lifetime spent in this place. There's nothing but darkness in their hearts.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
And there's worse darkness still ta come, seemin'. We got spiders swarmin'! And they got tha look o' undead ta 'em!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
They're trying to hem us in. Tear those webs down, quickly!
32 Collect 25 Spider Webs The bandits are finally cleared out -- but the noise of that fight has brought Strahd's vermin down upon you!
33 Defeat 25 Monsters Zombie spiders invade the chapel through every crack and crevice. Stomp them all!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Hold up that stomping, dwarf! Do you hear something?
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
I got nothin' in me ears 'cept blood poundin'. What is it?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
A voice... someone screaming... from under the floor!
Icon Portrait Doru
Doru:
FATHER! I'M STARVING!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Someone's in trouble. There must be an undercroft below us. We need to find a way down!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
First things first, lass. Vampire spawn! Take 'em out!
34 Defeat 25 Monsters It's not clear where these vampire spawn are coming from -- but you'll need to end their threat before you can discover their secret.
35 Defeat the Giant Zombie Spider The last of the undead horde are cornered within the chapel. Finish this fight!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
That mad screamin' won't let up. How is someone starvin' got 'nuff strength fer all that?
Icon Portrait Donavich
Donavich:
No! Stop it! I cannot feed you, Doru! You must let go, you must go back...! Ah, the darkness...!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Speaking of mad screaming...
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Speak on it a bit later, and grab that priest before he gets hurt. Look ta tha windows!
36 Defeat 25 Monsters Twig blights push in through shattered glass! Strahd's assault against the chapel is renewed!
37 Defeat 25 Monsters The blights come on in a never-ending wave. Stand fast!
38 Collect 25 Twig Blight Pieces New blights are being spawned from the shattered fragments of those you destroy. Seize those pieces to tip the balance of this fight!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
There, in that ruined side chamber. A trapdoor!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Looks like that's where our screamin' friend is hidin'... and where them vampire spawn was comin' from. And they weren't alone!
39 Defeat 25 Monsters This mysterious Doru seems about to make an entrance -- and swarms of bats are clearing the way!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Them bats is pushin' back, finally. And there be someone chained up ahead!
Icon Portrait Doru
Doru:
FEED ME! FATHER, I STARVE!
Icon Portrait Donavich
Donavich:
No! You cannot ask this of me, my son! Please, do not free him!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Ah, of course. Just another happy scene of family life in Barovia.
Icon Portrait Donavich
Donavich:
You don't understand. My son did this to himself. I warned him! He and his friends followed the mad mage who thought to stand against Strahd. And this curse is the price he pays for his folly!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
His own fault or not, he's breakin' them chains. Look sharp, all! We gotta keep this spawn under control!
40 Defeat the Doru The starving vampire spawn that was once Doru won't listen to reason. Take him down!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
That took some doin', but we got him subdued. Celeste, is there anythin' ye can do fer this poor lad?
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Reversing this curse is beyond my power, Bruenor. But we can't let this go on. Donavich, you're torturing your son. Please, for his sake. Let him go to his rest.
Icon Portrait Donavich
Donavich:
No... my son... but I can't... I don't know what to do...
Icon Portrait Doru
Doru:
Father... feed me... FEED ME!!!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Look out, he's loose! One chance...!
Icon Portrait Donavich
Donavich:
No! My son... destroyed... he would have killed me. No other way... it's for the best...
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
There is no end to the horror that the folk of this land endure. Strahd will pay for this. I will see it done.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
It's past time to get this burial done. Donavich, are you're sure you're well enough for this?
Icon Portrait Donavich
Donavich:
Where strength fails, I have my duty. To my son's memory. To the memory of our burgomaster, Kolyan. I will do this.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
My priest, if you are knowledgeable in lore, answer me this: Do you know the name Tatyana? And what connection that name holds for Strahd, and might hold to Ireena?
Icon Portrait Donavich
Donavich:
Aye, I know that name as history. Before he became the monster he is, Strahd once knew love. Tatyana, her name was, but her love was for no one but Strahd's brother, Sergei. Strahd killed his brother the night of his wedding to Tatyana, and she killed herself rather than live without her beloved.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
That explains the vampire's obsession, then. But why would he call Ireena by that name?
Icon Portrait Donavich
Donavich:
That, I do not know. But Strahd's madness runs deep. And we will all pay the price for that madness before the end.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
We might be payin' a price at tha vampire's behest sooner than that. Watch out!
41 Defeat 25 Monsters A darkness falls along the street that leads to the cemetery -- the bats that serve Strahd make another assault!
42 Collect 25 Wolf Pelts Their blood fury means these wolves won't back down! But maybe the threat of becoming fur coats will sober them up a bit.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Them wolves is still circlin', but they won't stay that way long. We gotta get a move on.
Icon Portrait Donavich
Donavich:
We are hurrying, friend. The cemetery is not far. But before we arrive... Ireena, it falls to me to reveal certain secrets.
Icon Portrait IreenaKoylana
Ireena:
Secrets? What do you mean, priest? What do you know?
Icon Portrait Donavich
Donavich:
I know how much your father loved you and your brother alike, and how you were both his world. But he bade me tell you something if he were to die before you learned it. Though he was your father in all ways, you are not the natural daughter of my friend Kolyan.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Interesting. Ireena, Donavich, forgive my questioning -- but who else knew this?
Icon Portrait Donavich
Donavich:
None but Kolyan and me. Ireena, you were a foundling, your birth parents lost. Kolyan took you as his own child, and kept the truth from you for fear that you would while away in sorrow for the first family you had lost.
Icon Portrait IreenaKoylana
Ireena:
I grieve even more now, for not being able to thank my father for saving me... for the sense of loss I feel. This life I thought I had...
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Not meanin' ta be interruptin', but them wolves is back -- and they ain't alone!
43 Defeat 25 Monsters Even as the wolves circle in for another attack, Strahd's zombies make a desperate assault!
44 Defeat 25 Monsters A wall of zombies closes in around you. Fight hard to turn the tide!
45 Defeat the Wight The zombie soldiers make a last assault on the orders of their wight commander! Stand fast!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
There's tha cemetery gates. Let's go!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
That's an awful lot of undead we'll be 'let's-going' straight into...
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Feh! They already died once. Just makes it easier fer 'em ta remember how ta do it again...
46 Defeat 25 Monsters The burials of the burgomaster and the priest's son have brought the undead of Barovia out in full force -- and they are ready to defend their resting place!
47 Defeat 25 Monsters Skeletal archers at the edge of the fray are taking a terrible toll on you. Push on!
48 Defeat 25 Monsters Surging ahead, you leave the skeletons behind for a moment's respite -- but twig blights are there to take up the assault!

But this victory will only make the vampire more determined -- and makes it even more imperative that Ireena be safe. My sister, I implore you as I have before. Leave the village. Flee to Vallaki. Escape the sight of the castle. Let these champions take you there. I must stay and protect what few are left in the village. It is what father would have wanted.

My brother, I have told you more than once that I fear to leave you alone here... but I think that fear must be set aside this time. I will go. Protect the town, as our father did, Burgomaster Ismark.

Ireena, I don't know Strahd's mind or his dark heart. But this Tatyana that he yearns for... clearly, he believes that you are her. This puts you in danger -- even as it makes you dangerous to him.

Aye, that seems clear 'nuff. So if it's vengeance fer yer father ye want, lass, ye're welcome ta stand by us, and we'll stand by ye just as strong.
Icon Portrait IreenaKoylana
Ireena:
It shall be done, my friends. Strahd has taken... everything from me. And now he mistakes me for the woman he could never have? I'll do what it takes to stop him.
