Vicho's Cross

Choose Vicho’s survival or sunrise outcome

First finish the warehouse investigation for Vicho and open his shop. The Good Samaritan starts with the medic in central Svartrau and sends you to the farm south of the city. The discovery there reopens Vicho’s story; return to him with the information.

To keep him alive, tell him the truth about the farm rather than blaming bandits. Acknowledge what happened, ask him not to end his life, describe his condition as a gift and encourage him to help others. Reassure him that he has your support, promise to provide blood from blood transports and tell him you do not see him as a monster. This route awards Vicho’s Cross and leads to recurring blood deliveries.

If you support Vicho’s decision to face the sunrise, stay with him and then search the altar beside his bed for the cross. This route ends his life and access to his shop. Treat the sunrise as a story decision as well as an item route.

The equipped amulet provides +15% charge restoration from parries, +8% damage against supernatural enemies, +7.5% weapon critical damage and +3% physical damage reduction. Its charge bonus rewards successful parries; it does not replace the passive charge restoration offered by other amulets.

For a parry-based sword loadout, compare the cross with Mindbrace Amulet’s broader action-based charge restoration and Amulet of Crimson Steel’s weapon-focused bonuses. Choose around the enemies and actions you use most, rather than assuming every legendary amulet serves the same role.
