Legend
This chapter is designed to guide you through the game. The path is both dangerous and complex, so you’ll find very careful instructions to keep things clear. The walkthrough itself is intended to give you a solid path. (NPC questlines are not discussed heavily here because they are covered in a separate chapter.) Instead, this section gives you the information you need to explore and beat each region.
The provided maps will expand on this, giving you access to all the nooks and crannies (and treasure) that the game provides. Your best bet is to complete the areas using the walkthrough, and then to look for any treasure that you missed, using the maps to pinpoint anything that you still need.
This may sound complicated at first, but this guide will keep it as simple as possible!
Important! NPC Questlines
We do not discuss NPC storylines heavily here in the walkthrough.
However, if you wish to follow as many of the NPC plots as possible, please visit the NPC chapter (“A Few May Help You On Your Path”) near the end of the book. Be aware that for obvious reasons, the chapter contains heavy spoilers.
Many of the NPC quests (and even their appearances) are tied to extremely specific actions in specific sequences, and some are mutually exclusive, so if you’re trying to see a lot of them in a single playthrough, you need to decide early which you want to tackle and how you want to resolve them.
