Messaggio originale di steinea:
Posting in Discussions rather than Guides because I played on PS5 not Steam, and so can't add a guide. Feel free to use these notes to make a full guide, anyone who reads this and is so inclined!
Thanks steinea! If you feel helped by this guide, be sure to award the original post, not me.
