Coward’s Path is a broken bridge west of the valley — the valley exit, and the location behind one of The Blood of Dawnwalker’s hidden endings. This page contains full spoilers.

What it is

A crossing out of Vale Sangora, reachable at the end of a run for players chasing a specific ending rather than the standard finale. On the master world page it is listed as the location behind the hidden ending A Hero They Deserve.

Why it matters

Hidden ending route

To use it: cross at night with Planeshift. The night form’s traversal is what makes the crossing possible — by day the broken bridge is simply a dead end. Crossing triggers the A Hero They Deserve hidden ending, the exit from a standard run of the story.

Because it is an ending route rather than a quest, it has no place in the early-game priority list — plan it only once you know which ending you are going for. The 30-day timer still applies: any hours of story you spend before the crossing count against the same 30-day window.
