Choices determine your destiny which can sometimes be deadly in Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon. This walkthrough delves into the consequences that come when attempting to romance Morgen, a charming mermaid in the “Deep Calleth Upon Deep” quest. Discover how the interaction plays out, the deadly trap hidden within it, and the wiser alternative for survival.
Consequence of Trying to Romance Morgen
Braving through Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon is no cakewalk. From gruesome monsters to treacherous allies, Avalon is replete with threats around every corner. A few of these can be playful and even seem romantic, but appearances can be deceiving.
One of the characters who may catch your eye is Morgen, a mystifying mermaid you encounter on the “Deep Calleth Upon Deep” quest. She seems magical and flirtatious, and sure enough, there is a chance to woo her. But this is where things get tricky: it has a fatal price tag.
How the Romance Option Plays Out
After returning her lost treasure, Morgen presents you with a series of dialogue options. If you want to trigger the romance path, you’ll need to respond with:
- “I’ve never been with… someone like you.”
- Then follow it up by selecting “Move closer.”
At this point, things take a dark turn. Although the game hints at an intimate moment, it quickly becomes clear that Morgen had no intentions of cuddling. Instead, she brutally murders your character after luring you in. It’s not just a game-over moment—it’s a lesson in misplaced trust.
What’s the Smart Choice?
If you’re not looking to die a poetic (yet gruesome) death, it’s best to avoid the romantic route altogether. When given the chance, just pick “No, thank you” instead of advancing the scene. This keeps you alive and lets you continue your journey through Avalon without becoming mermaid chow.
