Where To FInd All Ancient Circles In The Blood Of Dawnwalker

The Blood Of Dawnwalker: All Ancient Circle Locations Published Sep 8, 2026, 4:09 PM EDT Collin is a Guides Staff Writer at TheGamer who has been writing guides for nearly ten years. He is also a professional game/level designer. More importantly, he's still waiting for a new Ape Escape game to release. There's a lot to do in The Blood of Dawnwalker and little time to actually do it. From dismantling Brencis' court to the myriad of side quests to all the random side activities you can complete, it's easy to lose yourself trying to do everything in the game. However, one of the most important activities to finishes as they often reward fantastic manuals for your various skills, along with other rewards like money, armor, and weapons. There are a total of thirteen Ancient Rituals throughout the map, so here is where you can find them all. What Is The Ancient Circle The Ancient Circle is a side activity that can only be completed during the day. Vampire Coen cannot participate in this, so make sure the sun is out when you're trying to find all the ritual sites. The goal of the Ancient Circle is to slay a horde of spectral and undead enemies in a sealed-off arena. Killing them all will complete the Ancient Circle, and a nearby chest will become lootable, allowing you to obtain whatever treasure is inside. Additionally, starting the trial will cost you one segment of time, meaning you will need a total of two days if you want to visit all the Ancient Circle locations. Time is spent when you start the activity, so make sure you're prepared before performing the Astral Communion. I recommend equipping any gear that gives you increased damage against supernatural enemies, as that is all you will face in these fights. All Ancient Circle Sites And Rewards Location Key Rewards You can find the first Ancient Circle in the northern section of the swamps in Briar Sloughs. From the Briar Sloughs Cross shrine, go directly north, and you'll find the ritual location. Potent Revitalizing Tonic Recipe and Mercurial Favor Manual The second Ancient Circle site can be found in the eastern woods outside the town of Maragir. Soul Reaping Manual Ancient Circle site number three is located to the west of the Eerie Knoll shrine. Found along a rocky cliff, you can access this by going through a short path in the woods. Burning Blood Manual The fourth Ancient Circle site is actually pretty easy to miss since it's deep in the Boar's Back woods. From the town of Parlita, go east and look for the large stone slab to indicate where the ritual can be started. Potent Fortitude Paste Recipe and Burning Blood Manual Ancient Circle site number five is far west of Briar Sloughs and the Coward's Path shrine. When you arrive, go down into the gorge below the broken bridge and run to the end to find the ritual site. If you haven't killed the boss down here for the Durandal sword, you'll need to do that first! Cycle of Ruin Manual Ancient Circle Site six is located to the southwest of the town of Parlita. When leaving the town, follow the southern road and take the first right into the forest. You'll find the ritual area in a clearing in the woods. Cycle of Ruin Manual We're heading further south for the next Ancient Circle site. From the Hunter's Camp shrine, head southwest until you reach the ritual location along the mountain's base. Potent Vigor Infusion Recipe and Restless Blade Manual Located in the southern portion of The Silts, you can find the next ritual site southeast of the Turtle Rock shrine. Follow the main road south until it stops right outside of where the Ancient Circle is. Mortal's Blood Infusion Recipe and Artery Strike Manual The most annoying ritual site to reach; you will need to first head south of The Silts until you reach The Swamp Menhirs. Once you've arrived, cross all the muck and go to the southwestern corner to find this Ancient Circle activity. Stinging Blade Manual This one is fairly easy to find since it's the only large clearing in the Tantari Woods. From the Howling Keep shrine, head southwest up the mountain along the western side of the forest. There you'll find the clearing where the ritual site is. Perfect Riposte Manual Another easy Ancient Circle site to reach, is found to the south of the Silty Mug Inn. At the tavern, go directly south along the river until you reach the activity location in the woods. Perfect Riposte Manual Another extremely easy Ancient Circle location to miss, this one can be found in the southwestern part of St. Tyna's Grove. It's deep in the forest, and there's not much of an obvious clearing on the map, so use the photo for reference to easily locate it. Cycle of Ruin Manual Our final Ancient Circle site is in the northwestern section of St. Tyna's Grove. Specifically, it's northeast of St. Tyna's Grove Tower, there will be a mountain path you can take that will open up and have the ritual location on the right. Soul Reaping Manual
