Useful links:
Graven guide: Survival tips, secrets, and early-game puzzle solutions
PCgamingwiki (skipping intro method is really useful)


Where to buy it:
Epic Store
PSN Store
Xbox Marketplace

Walktrough:
99% of the time the game is just "clicks" and you will know where to go and what to do, but the remaining 1% can be annoying without some help



Tips and tricks

Upgrade your fire spell early, the last third of the game was amazing
Weapons can be upgraded at the blacksmith, spells at the alchemist
Keep an eye for shrines, early game without health upgrades and weak spells/weapons can be tricky
Speak with NPCs often. Sometimes the game progresses and new side missions will be available
Press the action button while opening chests. Gold is a light metal in this universe, often flies into the air and stucks unreachable height

Bugs

Bugs can be annoying, a new patch just dropped minutes ago. A really bad bug softlocked me in the last third of the game. I succesfully bypassed it with a trick. The new patch should be fixing this bug
