View all Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon

To identify items in Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon, you’ll need to use a bonfire and a special material called ethereal cobwebs. These cobwebs and the bonfire system are the keys to unlocking hidden item stats and rarity tiers.

Here’s how the full process works.

Set Up a Bonfire

You can’t identify anything until you place a bonfire.

Press Q, then choose the campfire icon and place it down wherever you like. Make sure you’re somewhere safe, since enemies can interrupt the process.

Collect Ethereal Cobwebs

You’ll need ethereal cobwebs to use the bonfire for identifying.

These cobwebs drop mostly from nighttime enemies. Weird spawns are especially reliable for farming them, and they show up more frequently at night.

Each cobweb counts as a resource, and you’ll need a good amount depending on the item tier.

Fuel the Fire and Access the Identify Menu

Once your bonfire is set up:

Spend 10 ethereal cobwebs to fuel the fire.
After lighting it, you’ll see new menu options, including one for Identify.
Open the Identify tab to view all your unidentified items.

Item tiers matter here. Plain items cost less to identify, while Good or higher-tier items will cost more cobwebs. Example: A Good-tier item might cost 15 or more.

Identify and Collect Your Loot

Select an item and pay the cobweb cost to identify it. Once identified, you’ll usually get more than one item back; often gear or potions.

It’s a good idea to wait until you’ve got a stockpile of cobwebs so you can identify in batches. The stronger the tier, the better the potential rewards.

And no, if you’re running a dagger build, that Great Axe +4 isn’t going to help… unless you feel like respeccing. But you probably won’t.

Final Blurb

The bonfire-identify system is a simple but rewarding part of Tainted Grail. Farm at night, hoard cobwebs, then turn those mystery items into real gear.

Just don’t be shocked when the game hands you a killer greatsword and you’re still specced for daggers.
