This guide, authored by chris-williams and updated on 12/17/2025, serves as a comprehensive walkthrough for Pillars of Eternity on PS4. It's structured to help you navigate the game's many facets, from initial character creation to the climactic finale and challenging bonus content.

The guide is broken down into several key sections, starting with an introduction that covers game mechanics and provides helpful tips. You'll then dive into character creation, detailing everything from levels and experience to races, classes, attributes, culture, background, and skills. Following this is an in-depth look at each playable class: Barbarian, Chanter, Cipher, Druid, Fighter, Monk, Paladin, Priest, Ranger, Rogue, and Wizard, along with universal talents and pre-made builds.

The walkthrough then progresses through the game's narrative acts, covering 'The Hollowing of the Dyrwood' across Acts I, II, and III, and 'The White March' Parts 1 and 2. Specific questlines like 'Durgan's Battery,' 'The White Forge,' and 'The Siege of Crägholdt' are detailed, leading up to 'The Hollowing of the Dyrwood - The Finale' and its 'Memories of the Ancients' chapter.

Beyond the main story, the guide offers extensive coverage of optional and endgame content. This includes the 'Endless Paths of Od Nua' dungeon and the management of your stronghold, 'Caed Nua,' with sections on upgrades, events, and bounties. A robust section on 'Items' covers mundane equipment, unique weapons and armor, accessories, soulbound items, grimoires, and consumables. Crafting, including ingredients and specific materials like 'Durgan Iron Ingots,' is also explained. Finally, the guide touches on miscellaneous elements like pets and inns, provides a detailed 'Bestiary' of enemy types, and includes an appendix on 'Relative Pacifism' and a list of 'Trophies' to achieve.
