please update the tutorial section there are 3 secrets in total, one as shown.

Another one where the dark elf was, dig up some of the stuff dropped on him and go upwards into the cave to find a chest.

Third is past the statue outside above the cave you left from, to reach there, go to the bed you jumped down to get the sack and build some blocks extending west till you manage to jump over, and proceed beyond the graveyard to reach the other chest.

With these two chests you will have all melee weapons in tin grade right from the start.

Please op update secret for tutorial :)

Oh my god. After a million tries, I finally got it. There was a scroll of dexterity in there. Ha ha, very funny.

Juglone 28 Oct, 2023 @ 5:47pm

How do you reach the secret on the roof at Bredon Camp? I've tried over and over again, it doesn't seem possible to jump up there.

Lost Question 29 Aug, 2023 @ 9:27pm

ok so there are 2 secrets in the tutorial 1 you know and the other is if you take a running leap off the left side you will arrive at a graveyard there is a large pot in a crypt that contains the second secret (a little further to the left is the pit you fall in at the start)

Fantastic guide! Probably the most info of any for this game that I have seen. Good work

FishMoony 9 Aug, 2023 @ 12:31am

great work tysm!

3.6 The feud. The big jump onto the roof is bogus.
You can just access the stash from inside the house if you jump.

I have the same problem as Mr Fantastic. Drysoil achievement is not triggering. I also let the shaman chief live.

Mr Fantastic 27 Jan, 2023 @ 1:27pm

Achievement for drysoil is not triggering and I've done all quests I could find and finished the game, might it be a bug? I let the shaman chief live, maybe that was something I could not do?
