Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Travel to The Krozjit Echoes obelisk to reach Eastern Dhalmekia. Head south towards Tabor.
  2. 2
    A diversion southwest leads to a Coeurl's den. Defeat the Coeurl to obtain the Regal Sash from a chest.
  3. 3
    Return to the main path and cross the ruins, fighting Defense Nodes and Fallen Bugs.
  4. 4
    Continue south, fighting Fallen Hunters and a Bomb. A detour to the southwest leads to a Fallen Guardian miniboss, but it guards no valuable items.
  5. 5
    Proceed through the Rymasov Flat, fighting Helldivers and Akashic Nakk.
  6. 6
    Encounter a Wounded Republican Soldier who offers the side quest Bad Blood.
  7. 7
    Continue south to reach Tabor. Activate the Tabor Obelisk and enter the house to trigger scenes.
  8. 8
    After the scenes, new side quests Carved in Stone and Skin Trade become available in Tabor.
  9. 9
    'Skin Trade' requires travel to The Fields of Corava.
  10. 10
    New side quests For Great Justice II, Rekindling the Flame, and Trading Places are available in other regions. It is recommended to return to The Hideaway to manage these.
  11. 11
    Exit Tabor via the southeastern gate to reach The Gilded Path.
  12. 12
    Head east from The Gilded Path, fighting Orcish Fodder and Orcish Mesmerizers.
  13. 13
    Choose either fork in the path to reach The Gilded Path obelisk. The right fork is more direct but has more enemies (Helldivers, Leg Eaters, Orcish Fodder).
