WhileTainted Grail: The Fall Of Avalonattempts to guide you along the main quest, you may derail the adventure by doing your own thing. From wandering off the beaten path to attacking (and killing) essential characters that shape your journey, almost nothing is off the table. You can even earn achievements for unleashing chaos, and Caradoc better watch his back.
It’s no easy task to kill Caradoc, but it can be done with patience and practice. We’ll help you not only kill him, but get some excellent loot and a couple achievements and trophies in the process. Don’t worry, there won’t be any hard feelings.
Where To Find Caradoc At The Island Asylum
AfterCaradoc breaks you out of your cellin the Red Priest’s prison, you can spend as much time as you like exploring the Island Asylum. However, eventually you’ll need to leave. Without an indoor map, it’s easy to get turned around.
To find Caradoc easily, follow these steps:
While you can kill Caradoc here, it’s incredibly difficult and not recommended.
How To Kill Caradoc At The Island Asylum
The easiest way to kill Caradoc is towait until he returns to the beachwith you at night. This gives youan opportunity to level up at the campfireand save before attempting to challenge him.
When you’re ready, you’ll want to verify youhave your loadout set with both spells and a bow. Strike fast tohit Caradoc with a sneak attack, then bolt out of range.
Don’t go too far! If you do, Caradoc willswitch from melee to ranged weapons, making this much more difficult.
If even one of Caradoc’s attacks hits you, it’s over. What you need to do isfind cover either over by the rocks or hop into the boat. If you stand on the crates so Caradoc can’t reach you, he’ll just stand there and wait while youwhittle away his health.
When his health gets low, he’ll try to heal.Use a headshotto stop this, although there’sa good chance that Caradoc will stumbleand move out of his trapped position. Stay calm and readjust as needed. Keep attacking with your spells and arrows, andavoid up-close combatat all costs.
The Burning Embers spell will set Caradoc on fire, dealing significant damage over time.
When Caradoc’s HP reaches zero, he’ll collapse. However, he’s not dead yet. Quicklyget to his body and use the execute commandbefore his HP replenishes or you’ll have to start from the beginning.
Once he’s executed, you canloot his body for a note and take all his gear. It will overload you at first, but you’re able to get away with wearing a couple of pieces to keep yourself safe. You’llunlock the No Chains, No Destiny achievement/trophy.
Hold onto this armor! You’ll need it tounlock the Double Identity trophy/achievement.
From there,get into the boatand head to the mainland. There’s still work to be done.
How To Get The Double Identity Trophy/Achievement
Once youreach the Horns of the South, head north from the shipwrecked beach andnortheast of the Blood Lake. You’ll find a path leading up tothe Shrine of a Forgotten God. Before you may enterthe Lair of the Beast, you’llspot Caradoc sitting on the rocks.
Make sure youequip each piece of Caradoc’s Ranger Armor, then speak with him. Ask whatever questions you like, as he’ll have varied responses based on your previous discussions. However, he’ll tell you that you need to get Excalibur on your own.
He won’t comment on you killing him or wearing his gear, surprisingly enough.
Select whichever options you like. After he leaves, the trophy/achievement should pop, and you’ll havesuccessfully stolen Caradoc’s identity and dignity. Well done!
Speaking to Caradoc after retrieving Excalibur does not count towards the achievement, even if you’re wearing the armor. It has to be before you obtain the second piece of King Arthur’s soul.
