Guide to forming an alliance with the Ash Giants in Outward. Learn how to navigate Hallowed Marsh, solve the Ziggurat Passage dungeon, and reach the Giant's Village.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From Berg, travel south, cross the bridge, and follow the path northeast. At the split, head northwest until you reach Hallowed Marsh.
  2. 2
    Enter Hallowed Marsh from the southeast and head north along the road towards Ziggurat Passage. Locate the dungeon entrance sinking into the water.
  3. 3
    Enter the dungeon, turn north, and use the lift mechanism to ascend. Defeat the skeleton mob.
  4. 4
    Turn left, then left again from the first tunnel to find a lever. Use it to open two gates. Loot the junk pile and knight's corpse to the west, then loot the chest behind the previously locked gate to the east.
  5. 5
    Return to the lift and descend to the main hall. Head south through the now-open gate to face a Blade-Dancer. Use the main hall space to kite the enemy, or use the lift for respite. Focus on the Blade-Dancer's spinning blades for attack cues.
  6. 6
    After defeating the Blade-Dancer, return to its room and use the lever to open a chest. Loot the chest, then head back upstairs through the west gate to a cavern. Jump down the ledge to reach the other side of Ziggurat Passage.
  7. 7
    Alternatively, to open the bridge outside: return to the main hall, head west down the stairs through the now-open gate. Carefully approach to encounter a Phytosaur. Use ranged attacks to lure it into the main hall and defeat it. Avoid its poisonous fumes and the rancid water.
  8. 8
    Enter the Phytosaur's cavern, find the Jade Lich's Idol on a stone plinth, and take it.
  9. 9
    Return to the main hall and place the idol on the stone plinth. This activates the bridge outside.
  10. 10
    Exit the dungeon. The bridge will be to the southwest. Use it to travel west between islands until you reach the main road.
  11. 11
    Turn north and descend a steep slope, then follow the path north. You will see the Giant's Village to the east.
  12. 12
    Continue north until you find a stone bridge. Turn east and cross it to reach the Giant's Village.
Tips
  • Stock up on travel rations (at least 8) and poison antidotes before leaving Berg.
  • The Hallowed Marsh can inflict poison; be prepared.
  • The skeleton mob in the dungeon is weak but has wide sweeps.
  • The Blade-Dancer can be kited in the main hall or fought from the upper floors.
  • The Phytosaur is slow but emits poisonous fumes.
  • Avoid standing in the rancid water in the Phytosaur's area.
  • The Jade Lich's Idol is key to opening the bridge.
  • The path through the water after placing the idol is faster but has more mobs (Tuanosaurs).
  • If you encounter fireflies, walk near a plant to get rid of them.
