- 01How do I change race to Uruhan?UPDATE 7 · URUHANUpdate 7 put a race-change mirror on the southern shore, including a separate rule for non-host co-op players.
- 02What is the change appearance console command?CONSOLE · UPDATE 7NerveLabs added one documented appearance command in Update 7: changeappearance.
- 03How do I improve performance by disabling shadows?PERFORMANCE · UPDATE 7Update 7 added a full shadow-off option that NerveLabs says can improve performance significantly.
- 04How do I fix a crash after the NerveLabs logo?CRASH · UPDATE 6The developer tied most launch-logo crashes on Nvidia hardware to pre-600 drivers and added a warning in Update 6.
- 05How do I fix blurry or missing textures?TEXTURES · UPDATE 6Hotfixes 4–5 and Update 6 repaired wrong-GPU selection, a VRAM leak, texture settings and 4–6 GB streaming cases.
- 06How do I teleport to a co-op teammate?CO-OP · HOTFIX 5Hotfix 5 added teammate teleporting directly to each player's map marker.
- 07How do I fix missing co-op inventory or wiped progress?CO-OP · UPDATE 6Update 6 repairs client inventory and progress, while two independent sources say the host holds the campaign save and party consequences.
- 08What console command resets the camera?CONSOLE · UPDATE 6Update 6 added a single documented camera reset command: resetcamera.
- 09Why is my crafted spell using only one effect?SPELLCRAFTING · UPDATE 7Update 7 fixes crafted spells failing to use every effect placed on the spell.
- 10How do I replace Rold's broken claymore?CONSOLE · UPDATE 7Update 7 corrects future copies and gives affected saves an exact additem command for the replacement.
- 11Where is the magic trainer?MAGIC · TRAINERSThe game answers this question itself, in a greeting most players walk past. It names Theodorus. It does not name Bartolomaeus — and Bartolomaeus is the one the community actually goes looking for.
- 12What should I prepare before entering the Tower?TOWER · PREPARATIONThe game answers this question four times over, in dialogue, and its answer is not a checklist. Nobody — not an NPC, not a changelog, not a creator — states a level, an item or a stat.
- 13Where are the giant stone torches, and where is the hole?MAIN QUEST · THE HOLETwo players read the same objective out loud and then said they could not see a single torch. The torches are on the map, not on the path — and the hole they lead to is the tower’s only unsealed entrance.
- 14What happens when you kill an NPC?COMBAT · CONSEQUENCESThe developer answers this directly in two of their own videos and a trailer. Almost none of it has been reproduced on camera yet, so this page separates what NerveLabs claim from what anyone has shown.
- 15How do perks work — do I collect them, or do I have to pick one?PROGRESSION · PERKSPerks are slotted, not collected — but one player is running three of them at once, and the screen tells him the next batch unlocks at level five. Four channels have now read the list aloud, which is how thirty-two effects end up here, ten names survive the spelling test, and one entry turns out to be closed to the player reading it.
- 16Who gives the Old Gods quest, and where are the three shrines?QUEST · THE OLD GODSTwo unrelated sessions record the same recruitment speech word for word, so the quest text is solid. The three shrine locations come from one conversation on one channel, and are published as such.
- 17A shrine says “stay your weapon before you pray” and sheathing does nothing. What does it want?SHRINES · STUCKOne recorded player read the instruction the way anyone would, tried every version of putting a weapon away, reloaded twice, decided the game was bugged — and then found it. This page publishes his answer and marks it as one session.
- 18Where is the loose stone in the spiral stair, and where are the boy’s bones?QUEST · THE SPIRAL STAIRFour separate channels record the same request in identical words, which makes the quest text reliable. Not one of them completes it, so this page publishes what is asked and refuses to invent where.
- 19What are the consequences of each Amphitheater choice?CHOICES · AMPHITHEATERThe audience is the gate, not the reward. The developer’s store text states the seat rule in writing; three independent sessions record the Saint asking for the audience and saying what happens when it fills.
- 20How do I finish Nuisance with the cart, goods bag and shack?QUEST · NUISANCEFive playthroughs agree that Pichess gives Nuisance and rewards the returned goods bag with a shack key. The fifth was found on 24 August and moves three of this page’s claims off a single source, adds the two lines of item text the quest actually writes into your inventory, and reveals that the reward hint has a sentence on the end nobody else caught: “Can’t miss it.”
- 21Where do I find Sandor the woodcutter?QUEST · SANDORThis is the best-corroborated quest hook on the site and one of the worst-corroborated destinations. Five channels recording on four different days transcribe the request identically. Not one of them records the man asking it saying where to look.
- 22Where do I find spongestone for the Dark Water quest?QUEST · DARK WATERThe quest sounds like a fetch from a body. The only recorded run finds no body, finds several spongestones lying loose to the left of a large pipe, and then has to hold two different keys to get one into a talking well. Four more recordings have since been found that never do the quest at all — and between them they corroborate the well, the curse, the referral and the solution.
- 23Where is the real Ramba?QUEST · RIGHT WHERE I FOUND ITTwo recordings, five days apart, transcribe the same confession in the same words. One of them then walks the route east and swims the shoreline; the game’s own journal entry says northern forest. This page publishes both and picks neither.
- 24Where is the Fisherman's Friend knife?ITEM · UNIQUE KNIFEIt is picked up on the way to somewhere else. The route is the merchant's ring quest; the knife is a detour up the tower, and the walkthrough reads the numbers off the screen.
- 25Where is Bartolomaeus?MAGIC · BARTOLOMAEUSThe one thing both walkthroughs agree on is that the quest's own hint does not get you there. They disagree about everything after that.
- 26Where is Theodorus, and how do I start magic?MAGIC · LOST TOMEThe game names this trainer twice before you go looking for him. Four launch-week recordings supply the quest premise, the beach direction and what handing the tome back is worth.
- 27How many players is co-op, and is there split-screen?CO-OP · STORE RECORDThe Steam listing declares online co-op, shared/split-screen co-op and Remote Play Together; the six-player cap comes from a wiki, not from NerveLabs.
- 28Can my PC run it, and what are the requirements?STORE RECORD · SPECSTwo sources publish the same six minimum values. Neither publishes a recommended tier, because NerveLabs has not filled one in.
- 29What languages does the game support?STORE RECORD · LANGUAGESOne language is listed, and it is listed as fully voiced. Nothing cited here promises a second.
- 30Can I play with a controller?STORE RECORD · INPUTA controller works. Which parts of the game it works in is the question neither source answers.
- 31What is the difference between sorcery, channeling and psionics?MAGIC · SKILLSNobody has to guess at this one. The three schools describe themselves in a sentence each, and four separate recordings read those sentences aloud.
- 32Which race should I pick, and what does each one actually give me?CHARACTER · RACESCharacter creation is the one screen in this game that states its numbers plainly. Two unrelated recordings read all five entries in the same order and agree — and NerveLabs has since made the whole choice reversible.
- 33A guard is attacking me and I don’t want to fight. Can I surrender, and what does it cost?CRIME · GUARDSFour launch-week recordings, four channels, four different outcomes to the same input. The mechanic is solid. The price is not — and this page prints the spread rather than averaging it into a number the game never said.
- 34Nobody will buy my stolen goods. Where do I sell them, and what counts as stealing?CRIME · THEFTTwo launch-week players hit the same wall an hour apart — a full pack of loot and no one to sell it to. One of them says on camera that the game needs a black-market vendor. Update 7 answers him directly.
- 35The mage in town won’t sell me spells. What does he actually want?MAGIC · QUESTTwo players wrote this NPC off as unfinished content. Three others did the fetch quest he asks for and walked out with a spell shop — and with the one thing he will never sell you.
- 36My potions keep failing and the ingredients disappear. How does alchemy actually work?CRAFTING · ALCHEMYTwo players on different days read the same kind of number off the same screen — sixty per cent on one brew, forty-five on another — and both lose their ingredients when it fails. The failures still level the skill, which is the part that makes the system make sense.
- 37I ate the food and my health bar did not move. How am I supposed to heal?SURVIVAL · HEALTHOne player says it out loud after eating cheese, crab meat and bone meal in a row: everything he has restores fatigue, not health. Another eats bread twice at fifty HP, reads restore health off the effect line, and stays at fifty.
- 38Do skills level up on their own, or only when I spend points?PROGRESSION · SKILLSYour build moves while you are nowhere near a menu. Two channels state the rule, two more read the same eighteen-skill list in the same order, and four tooltips read aloud show what level 100 is actually worth.
- 39What lockpicking level do I need, and can I get past a lock without it?PROGRESSION · LOCKPICKINGThis page collects every lockpicking requirement anyone has read off the screen, and every recorded way of getting past one without the skill.
- 40Are blessings always an upgrade?PROGRESSION · BLESSINGSOne recorded blessing is a straight gain. Another halves a resource. They are not one category.
- 41How do I finish Moon In The Man, and where is the hermit?QUESTS · MOON IN THE MANThree unrelated recordings now cover this quest between them, and between the three the whole of it is on tape: how the conversation starts, where it sends you, and what the cursed man says when you come back.
- 42How do I get into Hirom's locked house?QUESTS · LOCKED OUTFour channels record the same request, two read the same number off the same door, and two get past it from above. The key is still not where the man says it is.
- 43Where do I find serpentine grease for Rust In Peace?QUESTS · RUST IN PEACEThe quest names an item you will never see in your inventory, which is why searching merchants for serpentine grease goes nowhere.
- 44A skeleton on a beach started talking to me and gave me a quest called Have A Wonderful Day. What am I supposed to do?QUESTS · GREEN ISLETwo players on two channels reach the same skeleton three hours apart and give him opposite answers. He gives them the identical quest anyway. One of them finishes it without going anywhere near the spot the quest describes — and says on camera what he thinks did it.
- 45Someone in town said two of Rold’s old party went north to Saffron. Where is that, and what is waiting there?QUESTS · NORTHERN RUINSA rumour transcribed on two channels sends you after two missing men. One recording gets all the way to them. Only one of the two is still breathing, and what he says about the place is the clearest statement of the tower’s reach anywhere in the source pool.
- 46Where is the egg the woman in the Grand Hall asks for?QUESTS · THE EGGSix unrelated recordings sit through this conversation, four transcribe the riddle in the same words, and two read the journal entry aloud. Not one of them finds the egg — one player is still re-triggering the same speech five hours later.
- 47Pichess wants a cave cleared and his ring back. Where is the cave?QUESTS · MAGDAL’S RESTThis is Pichess’ second quest, and it is the one where the game contradicts itself. The journal calls it a cave on the western beach. The dialogue, on three separate channels, sends you north. Nobody in this repository finishes it — and the one player who gets to the sand is fighting things that heal themselves back up.
- 48A man outside town gives you a cursed die. What do you do with it?QUESTS · MAGDAL’S RESTHe was a gambler. He bought an enchanted die from a magic-folk trader who promised his luck would change forever, and it did. He has thrown it in the ocean and taken a hammer to it. It comes back. He will hand it to you if you ask — and this page can follow it exactly two conversations further before the trail stops.
- 49The mage in town calls himself a djinn. What is that, and can I be one?LORE · MAGICThe town mage is not human, says so, and will tell you exactly what he is if you ask — a definition of magic, a reason his people are hated, and the reason the saint’s call does not touch him. It sits behind an optional question, and thirty-one of the thirty-three recordings in this repository never ask it.
- 50Who’s Tanith?LORE · MAGDAL’S RESTOne player stopped the game and asked it out loud. The answer arrives about a minute later, from the first townsperson who speaks to you — and she answers it before you can ask.
- 51What is the lantern?LORE · THE SEERThe game will tell you what its title object is if you climb a hill and ask. The answer is a riddle — but the twenty lines around it are the clearest statement of the main quest anyone has recorded.
- 52Where do I find peaches for the tavern quest?QUEST · MAGDAL’S RESTThe first paid work in the game is a fetch quest whose fetch target one player could not pick up for three hours. He completed it by buying the difference from the merchant.
- 53Does the baker in Magdal’s Rest give a quest?NPC · MAGDAL’S RESTHe is the friendliest character in the starting town and the least useful one. What he is worth remembering for is the peach on his shelf — and for the fact that the quest people credit him with belongs to the man standing a few paces away.
- 54The butcher wants starfish eggs. Where do I find them?QUESTS · MAGDAL’S RESTThis is the rare quest on this site that somebody actually finishes on camera. The job is single-source, the item is on five channels, and the number ten comes from one line the player says to himself.
- 55Who is the guard in Magdal’s Rest, and is there any law here?TOWN · MAGDAL’S RESTHe is the best-recorded NPC on this site and one of the least written about, because players walk past him on the way to the tavern. He is the town’s only law, a retired mercenary, and — the same conversation — the man who asks you to find Sandor.
- 56Why is the fortune teller on fire, or already dead, when I reach her?NPC · SELF IMMOLATIONThis is the only bug on this site that the developer fixed by name. It is also the only one a player went hunting for on camera, because he had read the changelog and wanted to reach her first.
- 57Where is Akatun, and what do I get for delivering the message?QUEST · DELIVERYThis is the first quest on this site whose destination is a second settlement rather than a ruin. Six recordings can show you the offer. Exactly one gets through the gate, and what is inside is not a human town.
