Warning: This guide has spoilers for Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon. Read only if you’ve finished the Horns of the South area or don’t mind story details.
Who Is Vidar?
Vidar is a character you meet in the Horns of the South, the first big area after escaping the starting island. He’s a tough, mysterious guy locked in a bandit camp. Freeing him starts the “Spread Your Wings” side quest, where you learn more about him and make a big choice that changes your story. We won’t spoil what happens next, but finding Vidar is key to unlocking new adventures.
How to Find Vidar
Follow these easy steps to find Vidar in the Horns of the South:
- Get to Horns of the South: After finishing the “Great Escape” main quest and sailing to the mainland, you’ll enter the Horns of the South area.
- Find the Bandit Camp: Vidar is in a small bandit camp north of the Ruined Broch fast travel point. Look for a path that splits off the main road. The camp has tents and enemies guarding a cage, but it’s not marked on your map.
- Beat the Bandits: Fight the bandits in the camp. They’re not too hard, so use your sword, bow, or magic to defeat them. Dodge their attacks to stay safe.
- Unlock Vidar’s Cage: Find a key on a crate near the tents. Use it to open the cage and free Vidar. Talk to him, and he’ll tell you to meet him in Roscree, a village marked on your map.
- Meet Vidar in Roscree: Travel to Roscree (walk or fast travel if you’ve unlocked it). Vidar will be in the village center. Talk to him to start the “Spread Your Wings” quest.
Tip: If you can’t find the camp, explore all small paths north of Ruined Broch. Check for tents or campfires. Try exploring during the day, as nights are tougher with stronger enemies.
What Happens After Finding Vidar?
In Roscree, you’ll talk to Vidar, but a group called the Children of Morrigan will show up. You’ll need to choose whether to side with Vidar or the Children. This choice changes your story and unlocks different quests and rewards. Save your game before deciding so you can try both paths later if you want.
Easy Tips
- Look Everywhere: The bandit camp isn’t on the map, so check side paths carefully.
- Be Ready to Fight: Bring a good weapon, like a sword or bow, to handle the bandits. Practice dodging to avoid getting hit.
- Save Your Game: Save before the Roscree choice to experiment with both story paths.
- Grab Loot: Pick up items like weapons or materials in the camp to sell or use later.

Finding Vidar in Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon is easy once you know where to look. Head to the bandit camp north of Ruined Broch in Horns of the South, free him, and meet him in Roscree to start the “Spread Your Wings” quest.
