Anca

Cost unverified: the earlier catalog lists 4 segments; PowerPyx lists 6. Quest boundaries and optional actions need a save replay before either total can be used as a budget. PowerPyx

Anca’s ruins quest offers three Font choices: let Anca use it for a different epilogue, use it yourself for Font of Life, or destroy it for Ancient Greaves. These serve different goals; none is a verified best ending. The inn romance is a separate conversation.

Method.gg: romance is on the table regardless of the Font. The inn dialogue is the scene.
