To rest in Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon, you need to place a bonfire and interact with it. Resting is how you pass time, recover, and most importantly, level up.
Here’s everything you need to know about how resting works and why it matters.
Place a Bonfire First
You can only rest at bonfires.
To place one:
On keyboard, press Q and select the bonfire icon from the radial menu.
On controller, hold L1 and press D-pad Up, then choose the bonfire icon.
If the icon is greyed out, you haven’t progressed far enough in the story or you’re indoors. Bonfires only work after reaching the beach and speaking to the NPC near the boat.
Resting Is How You Level Up
Once you’ve gained enough experience to level, the game won’t let you assign points until you rest.
When you interact with a bonfire, choose how long you want to rest. Even resting one hour is enough to trigger the level-up menu if XP is ready.
No bonfire, no leveling. It’s that simple.
What Happens When You Rest
Resting does a few important things:
Heals you
Triggers level-up screen, if applicable
Advances in-game time
Progresses quests (some require resting to continue)
You don’t need fuel to rest, but certain features like fast travel or crafting at the bonfire do require Ethereal Cobwebs.
Resting Time Matters
Some events in the game world are time-based.
Resting helps:
Skip nighttime if you want to avoid tougher enemies
Pass time to trigger shop restocks or NPC changes
Reset bonfire harvest points like wood or herbs
You choose how many hours to rest when you interact with the bonfire. If a quest won’t move forward, try resting at least one hour.
Bonfire Requirements
If your bonfire won’t place:
Make sure you’ve reached the point in the story where they unlock
You’re outdoors; they can’t be placed in caves, buildings, or the prison
You’ve selected the correct radial menu option
You don’t need cobwebs to rest, but you do need cobwebs to access other features like crafting, identifying items, or fast travel.
Final Blurb & FAQ
Resting in Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon is more than a way to pass the time. It’s how you level up, heal, and move the world forward.
Just don’t forget to use it; plenty of quests and upgrades are locked behind a quick nap, and you’ll stay stuck until you light a fire and lie down.
