Fast Travel Point

Exploring the right places early on in Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon can make a massive difference in power, XP gain, and survivability. This section highlights four key locations that provide critical loot, spells, and systems for beginners.

1. Miner’s Tunnel – Early Healing and Summon Combo

• Located shortly after the tutorial area, just walking up the beach after you wash up
• Loot the crate to find the Wolf Summon Spell and Soul Salvage. Kill the mole monster at the base of the Mine’s Tunnel, after dealing with the corpse eaters, and at the end of where it spawned, there is a hole in the ground you can fall into. Follow that path to the end until you find a crate with the spells.
• Combo lets you heal by sacrificing your summon. Perfect for healing out of combat without using your resources.
• This combo is also great for surviving the world in the early game without having to tap on your potions and meals, saving those for quick healing during fights.
