The Siege of Dawn, also known as Flintlock, is an exhilarating RPG that incorporates elements from Soulslike games. As any player of these renowned FromSoft titles can attest, survival is crucial in maintaining your well-earned progress.
Despite the simplicity of upgrading Nor’s weapons and skills, raising her health level demands greater effort and exploration.
There are two methods for improving her health: replenishing healing flasks by defeating undead hamlets and discovering Inaya shrines that boost her maximum health.
Inaya Shrines and Healing Flasks in Flintlock
In order to permanently increase Nor’s health, you can visit Inaya Shrines, which are easily identified by their red glow and obelisk-like appearance scattered throughout the map. Alternatively, hamlets can be freed and healing flasks can be obtained from the host at the nearby coffee shop for temporary health boosts.
By pressing the “E” key, players can permanently increase Nor’s health by a small amount when interacting with an Inaya Shrine. Completing this action with all eight shrines will unlock the “Small Mercies”achievement.
Furthermore, Nor relies mainly on flasks for healing, which can be activated by pressing the Square button on PlayStation or the X button on Xbox, effectively restoring her health.
Locations of All Inaya Shrines
Throughout the world of Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn, shrines dedicated to Inaya, the goddess of life, can be found scattered across the map. These holy places possess the ability to boost Nor’s maximum health, making them a highly sought-after discovery.
Hidden throughout the realm of Kian are nine shrines, four of which can be found in Three Peaks, four in Wanderer’s Rest, and one near the end of the game. Though they can be seen from a distance, locating these ancient monuments can prove to be a difficult task, but the reward is well worth the effort.
The locations of all nine Inaya Shrines in Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn can be found below.
Inaya Shrines in Three Peaks
The initial area of Three Peaks is home to four Inaya Shrines. These shrines are extremely valuable in the early stages of the game, as they allow players to increase Nor’s health bar permanently. It would be wise to prioritize these four locations before moving on to the next regions.
Listed below are the locations of all the Inaya Shrines in Three Peaks, in the order they are typically encountered as you advance through the game.
The Inaya Shrine is located in Pilgrim’s Bend.
- During the Battle Hardened main quest, you’ll arrive at Pilgrim’s Bend, where you’ll find the first Inaya Shrine.
- From the Campsite, head southeast to the ruined watchtower.
- Circle around to the rear and jump across the gap to the ledge.
- As we ascended, we battled against bandits, but eventually reached the top to claim the shrine.
The Shrine of Rosy Mile Inaya
- From Pilgrim’s Bend, take the Rosy Mile road and look for an obelisk with a red beam on the left, just past the lodestone.
- Cross the river and climb the hill opposite the water wheel.
- Utilize the crates to reach the highest platform on the right, where you will come across the Inaya Shrine.
The shrine located in Foglands named Inaya Shrine.
- Once you have passed Whitebridge, continue until you come across the decaying castle in the Foglands. From there, descend into the ravine below the broken bridge and follow the path on the right.
- Find the skull on your right, which opens a rift to higher ledges and the monument.
- Conquer the adversaries in that location and continue to the left to uncover the Inaya Shrine.
The Inaya Shrine at Pitman’s Gate
- To reach this Inaya Shrine, head to Pitman’s Gate.
- In the town square, engage with the skull to generate a rift, followed by leaping and dashing to reach the cliffside ledges.
- Head east along the cliff wall and you will come across a climbing route that will take you to the Inaya Shrine.
Inaya Shrines in Wanderer’s Rest
In Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn, specifically within the Wanderer’s Rest region, you will come across four Inaya Shrines once again. To locate these holy locations, begin your journey from the western desert and make your way to the eastern City of Sibyl. Along your travels, you will gain insight into the importance of these shrines to Enki.
The Inaya Shrine on Nomad’s Coast.
- Halfway between Nomad Coast and Cape Reunion, climb the cliff to the east of the Nomad’s Coast Lodestone.
- A skull located on the cliffside will open rifts to an unattainable island, where you will come across a small obelisk along the coastline.
The Inaya Shrine’s ascent is jagged.
- You’ll find this Shrine as part of the main story as you’re progressing through The Enemy’s Grasp main quest.
- As you climb the Jagged Ascent, searching for Johara, follow the sloping path past the armored insectoids and defeat the cannoneer.
- The Shrine can be found inside the ruined temple dedicated to Inaya, in a small chamber that is directly in your path. It is impossible to miss.
The Inaya Shrine is surrounded by grasslands.
- To find this underground Inaya Shrine, head south from the Ravine’s Secret lodestone, past a hill with rabid wild emus, to a nearby cave entrance.
- Alternatively, from Wisdom’s Edge, follow the cliffs clockwise from the northwest gate to find a cave you can jump into, containing the Shrine.
- Upon entering, a lever can be used to open a grate, providing a more convenient route from the opposite side. However, caution must be taken as there may be patrolling Dead in the area.
The Inaya Shrine is located in the Merchant Quarter.
- In the City of Sibyl, navigate the war-torn streets to the south until you reach the western docks.
- To reach the final Inaya Shrine, utilize the skull located at the end of the pier to generate rifts that will transport you to a small island.
III. Inaya Shrine in Old Dawn
Hidden in the Old Dawn region, the last Inaya Shrine remains undiscovered until the conclusion of the campaign. To locate it, search for a structure on the opposite side of the gap from the lodestone and jump onto the ledge.
Upon entering and heading to the upper level, one will come across the final Inaya Shrine. This particular shrine is heavily protected by an Armored Dead Warrior, setting it apart from the rest and providing a thrilling final obstacle.
3. All Healing Flask Locations
“At the start of the game, players are given a limited supply of three healing flasks, which can prove challenging in Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn. However, scattered throughout the map are Coffee Shops waiting to be discovered, providing the opportunity to increase your healing flask capacity.”
To receive your reward, you must free the hamlets from the enemy’s grasp, which is often under the rule of powerful bandit leaders. It may take time to defeat the leader, so it is important to remain patient. Once you emerge triumphant, enter the recently liberated Coffee Shop, speak with the host, and claim your deserved upgrade for your flask.
After meeting Enki and completing the tutorial, you will come across a total of 7 Coffee Shops. The first one can be found in Port Solace, followed by the remaining six which are divided between the regions of Three Peaks and Wanderer’s Rest.
Three Peaks Hamlets is a group of three small villages located in the mountains.
- Gavel Gate: Starting from the Three Peaks camp, travel towards the west until you reach a locked gate. Utilize the rift skull located north of the gate to reach the spire rock, and then activate a different rift skull to enter the hamlet from the rear. Once inside, defeat the leader located in the center.
- Mudfish Dock: Once you have unlocked Pilgrim’s Bend camp, continue south along the road until you reach the Lodestone. From there, head west to locate the hamlet. You will find the leader in the northwest corner.
- The hamlet known as White Bridge is automatically cleared after the initial revenant battle. It can be found to the west of the third campsite.
Wanderer’s Rest Hamlets is the name of the small villages scattered throughout the countryside.
- Just beyond the original Wanderer’s Rest camp, locate the leader situated in the center.
- Backharvest: Once you have completed the sub-boss fight at Jagged Ascent, make your way north from the Sibyl’s Teeth camp to reach Backharvest. The leader can be found in the northeastern corner.
- Before proceeding to the City of Sibyl, make sure to locate Wisdom’s Edge, a hamlet located southeast of the optional camp. It is necessary to clear this area in order to progress through the main storyline.
May the blessings of Goddess Inaya and the cozy atmosphere of the Coffee Shops stay with you on your journey, and may your flasks always be filled with as much determination as they are with coffee!
