Tips
  • The Swamp Forest contains Drowners, Bloedzuigers, and Drowned Dead in most areas.
  • There are many plants to harvest throughout the area.
  • The "Nosy Dog" may follow you but its purpose is not apparent.
  • Coccacidium's poison can be very damaging; use Igni and Strong Silver Style.
  • Gramps cannot die during the escort quest.
  • The quest “Worth its Weight in Gold” will eventually require you to return to town.
  • Completing “The Drowned Dead Contract” is likely to happen naturally while exploring.
