Where to find Alvwyn in DragonSword: Awakening
To begin the quest, travel to the east of the Meadows of Beginning. Here you’ll find Alvwyn standing near a mysterious web-covered statue.
Speak with Alvwyn to learn about the strange statue and begin the Eona’s Legacy quest. After the conversation, you’ll be free to investigate the area yourself.
How to unlock the Shadowed Woods in DragonSword Awakening
Step 1 – Speak with Alvwyn
Find Alvwyn east of the Meadows of Beginning and start a conversation. He explains the mystery surrounding the statue that’s completely covered in thick webs.
Step 2 – Burn away the webs
The statue cannot be interacted with while it’s covered.
Equip your Fire Bow or use any fire-element combo or skill capable of dealing fire damage. Attack the webs until they burn away, revealing the statue hidden beneath.
If your current weapon doesn’t deal fire damage, switch to a character or weapon setup that can inflict fire before attempting the puzzle.
Step 3 – Talk to Alvwyn again
Once the statue has been fully revealed, return to Alvwyn and initiate another conversation.
This triggers the next part of the quest and confirms that the puzzle has been solved.
Step 4 – Watch the cutscene
A short cutscene will play after speaking with Alvwyn.
When it ends, the Shadowed Woods region becomes permanently unlocked, allowing you to continue exploring the next area of DragonSword: Awakening.
Why the puzzle may not work
If the quest doesn’t progress, check the following:
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Webs won’t disappear | Use a fire-based attack instead of normal damage. |
| Statue doesn’t trigger | Make sure every section of the webs has been burned away. |
| Alvwyn has no new dialogue | Reveal the entire statue before speaking with him again. |
| Shadowed Woods remains locked | Finish the post-puzzle dialogue and allow the cutscene to complete. |
What you unlock after completing Eona’s Legacy
The Eona’s Legacy quest is straightforward once you know the solution. Simply find Alvwyn east of the Meadows of Beginning, burn the webs covering the statue with a Fire Bow or any fire-element attack, speak with him again, and watch the final cutscene. After that, the Shadowed Woods is fully unlocked and ready to explore.
Completing this quest grants access to the Shadowed Woods, opening the next major exploration zone in DragonSword: Awakening. From here, you’ll gain access to new enemies, additional quests, collectible resources, and story progression tied to the forest region.
