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 perform cart upgrades yet, but keep them in mind. Be on the lookout for:

  • Linen Cloth
  • Light Leather
  • Wood
  • Copper Ore
