Quick notes

  • Four collection tracks. Lifestone shards and Wrath shards increase resource capacity when completed.
  • Use dungeon navigation items. A map clarifies rooms and the Hoardseeker reveals treasure positions.
  • Return through Serpent Holes. Once the travel network becomes available, revisit earlier areas with new equipment.
  • Keep final cleanup distinct from progression. An optional chest may not contain the story item needed next.
