Yes. The Font of Life choice changes Anca’s long-term outcome in The Blood of Dawnwalker.
Letting Anca use the Font gives her the most favorable personal outcome because she is freed from the witch condition she has been trying to escape. If Coen uses the Font or you destroy it, Anca remains a witch and her future takes a different path.
This choice is therefore much more important for Anca’s eventual fate than it is for whether you can romance her.
What Happens to Anca If She Uses the Font of Life?
Letting Anca use the Font gives her the most favorable long-term outcome.
The Font removes the condition she considers a curse, including the visible signs connected to her witchcraft, and she loses her witch abilities.
More importantly, Anca no longer has to continue searching for another way to free herself from that condition.
Her outlook becomes noticeably more hopeful, and her later outcome reflects that change.
If your priority is giving Anca the best future for herself, this is the strongest Font of Life choice.
The trade-off is that Coen does not receive the Font of Life perk.
What Happens to Anca If Coen Uses the Font?
If Coen uses the Font, Anca remains a witch.
She accepts Coen’s decision and believes there may still be another way to remove her condition, but the problem is not resolved during the Font quest.
This affects what happens to her later.
Instead of receiving the resolution available through the Font, Anca eventually continues her search for another cure.
Coen receives the permanent Font of Life perk, so this option gives the player a stronger direct gameplay reward at the cost of Anca’s more favorable personal outcome.
In simple terms:
- Coen gets the perk
- Anca keeps her witch condition
- Anca’s search for another solution continues
What Happens to Anca If You Destroy the Font?
Destroying the Font also leaves Anca as a witch.
Neither Coen nor Anca receives the Font’s power, so Anca loses the opportunity to use it as a cure.
The player instead receives the Ancient Greaves.
For Anca’s story, this produces a less favorable outcome than allowing her to use the Font because the problem she wanted to solve remains unresolved.
Unlike choosing Coen, destroying the Font does not even provide the Font of Life perk as a trade-off.
So if Anca’s future is your main concern, destroying the Font gives you little reason to prefer it over letting her use it.
Which Font Choice Gives Anca the Best Ending?
Letting Anca use the Font gives her the best personal outcome.
The three choices can be summarized this way:
| Font Choice | Anca’s Long-Term Outcome | What Coen Gets |
|---|---|---|
| Anca | Freed from her witch condition and no longer needs to search for another cure | No Font of Life perk |
| Coen | Remains a witch and continues searching for another solution | Font of Life perk |
| Destroy | Remains a witch without using the Font | Ancient Greaves |
If you are choosing entirely based on what is best for Anca, there is very little ambiguity: let her use the Font.
If you care more about strengthening Coen, then the choice becomes less straightforward because his perk provides a permanent gameplay benefit.
Does Choosing Coen Give Anca a Bad Ending?
Not necessarily a “bad” ending, but it is less favorable for Anca than allowing her to use the Font.
Choosing Coen does not immediately doom Anca or end her story.
Instead, her main problem remains unresolved.
She continues looking for another way to change her condition rather than receiving the direct resolution provided by the Font.
So it is more accurate to think of the outcomes as:
Anca uses the Font → her problem is resolved
Coen uses the Font → her search continues
rather than simply labeling one ending “good” and the other “bad.”
Does Destroying the Font Give Anca a Different Ending Than Choosing Coen?
Both choices leave Anca without the cure provided by the Font, but the player reward is different.
If Coen uses it, he gains the Font of Life perk.
If the Font is destroyed, you receive the Ancient Greaves instead.
From Anca’s perspective, however, the important similarity is that she remains a witch in either case.
That is why players focused primarily on Anca’s ending have little reason to choose either of these options over giving the Font to her.
Does Anca’s Ending Affect Her Romance?
The Font choice can affect Anca’s long-term outlook while still allowing the romance to occur.
That distinction matters.
You can choose Coen and still pursue Anca romantically, but her eventual personal outcome will not be the same as if you gave her the Font.
So:
Romance outcome and Anca’s personal ending are related, but they are not the same thing.
If your only concern is keeping the romance available, you have several options.
If your concern is Anca’s best long-term outcome, letting her use the Font is the clear choice.

Should You Give Anca the Font for the Best Ending?
Yes. If your goal is specifically to give Anca the most favorable ending, let her use the Font of Life.
Doing so resolves the condition she has been trying to escape and changes her future accordingly.
Choose Coen instead if the Font of Life perk matters more to you than Anca’s personal outcome.
Destroy the Font only if you specifically prefer the Ancient Greaves and are willing to leave Anca’s condition unresolved.
The decision therefore comes down to three priorities:
- Best outcome for Anca → Anca
- Permanent gameplay perk → Coen
- Armor reward → Destroy
For Anca herself, using the Font provides the strongest ending.
