Chapter 1 — The Witch Tree


Once the cutscenes end and you can move forward, you’ll arrive at the Witch Tree. This is your central hub, and you’ll return here constantly throughout your adventure.


At the Witch Stone, you can now level up. You should have enough experience to reach roughly level 4–5 if you grinded a little. You’ll also be introduced to your skill tree.


Skill Check
If you’re keeping up with my specific build, follow the linked skill checkpoints throughout the walkthrough.
This guide focuses on my Vanguard setup, but feel free to apply the same logic to other classes.

Head west of the Witch Stone and speak with Ulfar. Browse his shop and familiarize yourself with upgrades. We can’t do a cart upgrade yet, but keep it in mind. We’ll be watching for Linen Cloth, Light Leather, Wood, and Copper Ore.


Feel free to craft. You can save materials or craft copper pieces. I opted to create Copper Leggings and upgrade Ulfar himself to level 2 (not the cart). Go to the Upgrade tab and hold Y. My goal is to finish the copper set, and I don’t recommend buying much right now.


Continue west and upward on the shiny cliffs to enter a new zone and activate another Witch Stone. Hunter’s Trail is our first early grind spot. You can skip grinding and push forward, but for this guide I’m taking it slow and steady.


Continue west until you find a statue. Remember the Sage from the tutorial? Use it here for a free skill point. If you’re following this Vanguard route, return to the Witch Stone and grab Veteran now. This begins your 10% health scaling from enemy kills.

Farming Tip
Resting at Witch Stones respawns enemies. This is mandatory knowledge if you plan to grind levels, materials, or cart upgrades later.

Continue downward and westward, collecting the copper node. Watch for ambushes and manage stamina. Destroy crates for extra drops. You’ll find bird eggs and Calendula — make a mental note. You will backtrack later if you’re doing cart upgrades (recommended).


Make your way over the wall and into Old Wickham. If ghouls that drain stamina/speed are giving you trouble, slow down and take your time.


Stay grounded and head west through the doorway. Drop down for linen and a locked door. Head back up and climb as high as you can. Break crates at the top and jump right.


Use a lockpick here to open your first locked chest and grab the Ring of Energy (+20 stamina). Huge early find.


Head west to the Witch Stone and try to hit level 5.
