Part 4

Practice your spells on the beetles.

Follow the golden trail across a stone bridge, ignoring the Demon Door on the left path for now.

You will reach Bert, a guard who informs you the road to Bowerstone is closed until Thag and his gang are dealt with.

Follow the golden trail to the bandit camp and enter.

Defeat the bandits who ambush you.

Thag will emerge from his house; defeat him.

Your dog is now hurt. Walk up to your dog, press RB (the button to interact with your dog), choose 'Dog', then choose 'Heal'.

Enter Thag's house and open the chest to find Thag's Cage Key, Rancid Beef Jerky, and 300 gold.

You can also grab the Grubby Journal from his bed.

Exit Thag's house. A bandit named Dick will demand the key. You can choose to free the people or give the key to Dick.

Follow the golden trail to Bowerstone Market.

Once inside, turn right towards an archway leading into a building.

Move towards the stairs and find a chest on the left.

Exit this building and turn right towards the 'Bowerstone's Big Pile of Stuff' store.

Speak to the General Goods Trader. It is recommended to sell your Jets and the Necklace.

It is recommended to buy the Rubber Ball to play with your dog and the Lute for an expression.

Cross the bridge towards the Town Square and enter the clock tower.

Theresa will inform you she is 5 minutes away.

Go to the blacksmith on the right and sell your Rusty Longsword.

Enter the bookstore "Fiction Burns", opposite the "Up in Arms" store.

It is recommended to buy "Treasure Hunting. Book 1" and "The Dogs of War. Book 1".

Go up to your dog. When the book icon appears on your D-Pad (directional pad), press down to "upgrade" your dog. You can buy better books later.

Do as you wish until Theresa arrives. You can check out the Pub Game in "The Cow & Corset" bar, buy new clothing, or work as a blacksmith.

When Theresa arrives, she will be standing near the bar. Walk up to her and she will speak to you. You will be able to use an expression with the D-Pad for the first time in this scene.

Follow Theresa, and she will show you The Spire.

After receiving cards, follow the golden trail to Bowerstone Old Town. The area's appearance depends on who you gave the Warrants to as a child.

From Bowerstone Old Town, you can go to Bowerstone Cemetery, where there is a Demon Door.

Follow the golden trail out of Bowerstone Old Town and onto Rookridge.

Follow the path and find a person looting a carriage; you can pick up items here.

Continue along the path and encounter bandits; defeat them with a long-range weapon.

Continue following the golden trail and you will be attacked again.

Down the hill, you will have an opportunity to ambush bandits; do so. There is also a Demon Door in this area.

Continue to a broken bridge. The bandits will tell you to dive.

Dive and swim to the beach on the left, where you will find a person needing help.

Enter Hobbe Cave. The person will follow you.

Advance through the cave until you reach a room full of bones, where the person will vomit.

Advance further to fight Hobbes for the first time.

Go up the rickety walkways and advance to a locked door.

Follow your dog to a side tunnel.

You will reach a room with sand and blood. Break through the wooden boards to meet Herman's son, who is now a Hobbe.

Continue through the next large area filled with Hobbes and exit into Rookridge again.

You can visit the Rookridge Inn, located a little way up the hill.

Continue following the golden trail to your objective.

Before exiting Rookridge, you can get a closer look at The Temple of Shadows.

Enter Oakfield.

Sell any useless items you have collected.

Visit The Sandgoose bar. You can try the Woodcutter job, find a Demon Door, and start the "The Sculptor" side quest.

A Rusty Turret Pistol can be found in a Dive spot under the bridge here.

Follow the golden trail up to The Temple of Light. The abbot will state he does not trust you enough and you need more Renown Points.

He will inform you of a bandit problem in Rookridge. The "A Bridge Too Far" quest is technically a side quest; refer to the Side Quests section for completion details.

After completing "A Bridge Too Far", return to Bowerstone to receive side quests: The Sculptor (again), The Temple of Shadows, Till Death Do Us Part, and The Archeologist. Refer to the Side Quests section if you wish to pursue them.

If you have enough Renown for the abbot to trust you, go to The Temple of Light and speak to him.

Walk with the abbot as he explains the next steps.

Follow the golden trail to Hannah, who is by the Wellspring Cave. You will hear her singing as you approach.

Once Hannah finishes talking and picks up the ewer, go down the steps into Wellspring Cave.

Continue through the tunnel and a large open area with a steep descent until you reach a large circular room called the Central Chamber.

Go through the first door on the left.

Advance along the tunnels until you reach the room at the end. A Silver Key is located behind the platform here.

Hannah will go up the steps and stand on a platform.
