InTainted Grail: The Fall Of Avalon, you’ll find numerous people in need of your help in the 600 years after the fall of King Arthur. However, there are also elusive dungeons and caves that offer unique opportunities to pillage and uncover long-lost secrets.
The Blood Lake dungeon is one such place, and it’s a dangerous one to boot. We’ll help you locate the dungeon and clear it to claim unique rewards and put an ancient experiment to rest. Here’s everything you need to know about what lurks beneath the crimson waves.
Where To Find The Blood Lake Dungeon
Deep under the waves,towards the back wall near the ruined gate and village, you’ll find a hidden door. Take a deep breath thendive below the bloody laketo reach it. Open the door to reach relative safety, for now,in the Blood Cave.
This will start the Blood Stains The Circle quest, though it’s recommended that you leave and come back later if you’re a low level character.

How To Beat Mallory In The Blood Lake
Do not speak with Mallory unless you’re ready for a fight.
When you approach, you canask the skeletal man as many questions as you like. He vaguely remembershis name was Mallory, but he’s been trapped in the Blood Cave for gods know how long, waiting for those giant doors to open.
In all that time, he’sslain countless competitorsunder the belief thatthe last man standing will open the doors– yet he’s still waiting. When you wrap up the conversation, Malloryasks that you at least try to kill himand end his suffering.
If you’re a low level, Mallory will wipe the floor with you.
Hardened by years of combat and a need to survive,Mallory is relentless. He’ll take swings at you with his sword while knocking you back with his shield. Thankfully, the Blood Cave is an open space you may move around in circles.
Try toput clusters of swords between you and Malloryto keep your distance. Usethrowing knives, magic, or arrowsto help whittle down his health whilestaying just out of reach.
Once Mallory falls, thegiant doors surrounded by bodies will openand you can progress further into the dungeon, gettingcloser to the Gardenof legend.
