Where do I start as a new player?

Check the beginner's guide for combat basics, Shell introduction, and exploration tips. Or browse the full guides hub for combat, Shells, bosses, and progression.

What is the recommended main story route?

Use the spoiler-light walkthrough for the route from the prologue and Marrow Keep through Fainweald, Mammon, the six Corrupted Gates, Unfound Path, and Zmey.

What is the point of no return?

Defeating the final boss does not immediately close free roam. The irreversible action is choosing Send Ova at the Gloom Siphon, which starts the ending and New Game Plus.

Where are all eight sidearms?

The sidearm checklist covers the prologue Nayleshotte, both Fainweald dungeon pickups, the tavern Lute, and the four later Mammon weapons with their nearest Beacons.

How do I reveal the full map?

Collect five Fainweald and six Mammon Map Fragments from Ruk map stations. Finding all eleven completes the Sat Nav achievement and makes Beacon and collectible cleanup easier.
