Region and kit
Region: Fainweald — One-Legged Wolf Tavern
Combat identity: Staggering Blow is a charged attack that deals heavy stagger. Revered Heart replaces normal heal regen with healing built from kills, which is strong in the overworld and weak in empty boss arenas.
Gragu unlock steps
- Reach the One-Legged Wolf Tavern after Mether's Breath opens the east (about five extra Ova in launch guides).
- Exhaust Gragu's dialogue until he asks for the Heart of Vatra.
- Take the Heart from the statue atop the Temple of Vatra, then run — grabbing it wakes petrified enemies.
- Return the Heart. After the death scene, inhabit Gragu for Heartless.
Before you leave
- Quest item grab is an encounter trigger. Prepare before touching the statue.
- Detailed click-by-click: the NPC quest page.
