Dawnwalker Respec Guide: Draught of Mind Rebirth Locations
Check the verified and reported Witchcraft sellers for the Draught of Mind Rebirth, learn what Update 1.1 resets, and respec safely.
This page synthesizes the attributed sources below. It does not present another outlet's test as our own; unresolved player reports stay provisional.
Update 1.1 adds a full skill respec through the Draught of Mind Rebirth. Rebel Wolves officially confirms what the potion does. A first-hand current-build screenshot verifies it in the Matriarch's Uriash shop, while newer player reports also name Anca and Vera or another Witchcraft vendor. Availability is not guaranteed across saves, so check Witchcraft merchants rather than assuming one fixed seller and keep price, stock and repeat-purchase claims provisional.
Respec potion locations: spoiler-light answer
Install Update 1.1 and check merchants associated with Witchcraft. A first-hand screenshot from the current retail build verifies the Draught of Mind Rebirth in the Matriarch's shop in Uriash village. Separate current reports name Anca and Vera or another Witchcraft vendor, but those reports do not establish that every seller stocks it in every save.
The official changelog confirms the item and its effect but names no seller, price, restock rule or prerequisite. Treat the Matriarch as the strongest verified lead, then check other Witchcraft merchants if her inventory does not contain it.
| Seller or detail | Current answer | Evidence boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Item | Draught of Mind Rebirth | Officially added in Update 1.1 |
| Matriarch, Uriash | Best verified lead | Shown in a first-hand current-build screenshot |
| Anca | Reported lead | Named in current player and guide reports; not guaranteed |
| Vera / another Witchcraft vendor | Reported lead | Named in current community reports; not guaranteed |
| Price | Not reliably verified | Check the value in your own shop |
| Repeat purchases | Not reliably verified | Keep a manual save before testing |
| Required version | Update 1.1 | Official release is live on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S |
How to get the Draught of Mind Rebirth
Confirm the game is fully updated before travelling. Start with the Matriarch in Uriash because that location has the clearest first-hand evidence. If the potion is absent, check Anca and Vera or another Witchcraft merchant available in your current story state. If it appears, make a manual save before the purchase and keep that save until you have rebuilt and tested your ability set.
- Finish installing Update 1.1 and relaunch the game
- Check the Matriarch's Uriash shop first
- If absent, check Anca and other accessible Witchcraft merchants
- Do not assume that waiting will refresh the stock
- Create a separate manual save before buying or consuming it
- Record your current abilities before committing to the reset
What the respec potion resets
Rebel Wolves says the Draught removes learned abilities from Swordmastery, Witchcraft and Vampirism, then returns the time spent learning those abilities so it can be used on a different set. That is a skill-tree reset, not a claim that the calendar, quests, equipment or story choices are rewound.
The official wording describes time invested in learned abilities. It does not promise a broader character reset, a refund of unrelated purchases or a reversal of narrative consequences.
| System | Confirmed effect | Not confirmed |
|---|---|---|
| Swordmastery | Learned abilities are removed and their time is returned | Weapon or equipment rollback |
| Witchcraft | Learned abilities are removed and their time is returned | Manual or inventory rollback |
| Vampirism | Learned abilities are removed and their time is returned | Story-state reversal |
| 30-day clock | No reset is stated | Calendar days are not advertised as refundable |
| Quests and choices | No reset is stated | Narrative decisions are not advertised as reversible |
Safe respec checklist
A respec changes a large part of the build at once. Preserve a restore point and plan the replacement abilities before consuming the item. This avoids spending the refunded time impulsively and discovering that a key combat interaction is missing after the old allocation is gone.
- Keep a manual save from before the purchase
- Take screenshots of all three current skill trees
- Write down the core abilities your new build needs
- Consume the potion only when you have time to rebuild
- Verify the returned time before spending it
- Test the new build in a repeatable encounter before overwriting the old save
If no merchant has the potion
First verify that Update 1.1 has finished downloading. Check the Matriarch in Uriash, then other accessible Witchcraft merchants such as Anca and Vera. A fresh player report says the item was absent from the expected sellers, so the currently available evidence does not support promising that any one inventory will always contain it.
No reliable source checked for this guide establishes a restock timer, a wait requirement or a guaranteed prerequisite. Do not spend in-game days repeatedly resting on the assumption that the shop will refresh, because time is a core campaign resource. Preserve your save and record platform, version, quest state and the sellers checked before filing a bug report.
- Confirm Update 1.1 is installed
- Check the Matriarch and all accessible Witchcraft merchants
- Reopen each shop once
- Do not overwrite the pre-check manual save
- Avoid unverified waiting or restock methods
- Report platform, version, quest state and checked sellers if it remains absent
Confirmed facts versus provisional details
The potion's respec function comes from the developer's official Update 1.1 notes. The Matriarch and Uriash location comes from a first-hand current-build screenshot and a separate route demonstration. Anca and Vera are useful reported leads, not guaranteed inventories. Price, stock behavior, prerequisites and repeatability remain provisional because the official notes do not specify them and current player reports conflict.
| Claim | Status | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Update 1.1 adds skill respec | Confirmed | Official Rebel Wolves notes |
| The potion refunds time from all three ability families | Confirmed | Official Rebel Wolves notes |
| The Matriarch in Uriash can sell it | Launch verified | First-hand current-build report and route demonstration |
| Anca or Vera can sell it | Reported | Current community reports; availability may vary |
| Exact price | Provisional | No reliable fixed value checked |
| Restock, prerequisite or repeat purchase | Provisional | No stable rule checked |
