よくある質問

When is the exact point of no return in the Prologue?

The point of no return occurs when speaking with Captain Vane at the Iron Gatehouse after defeating the graveyard ghoul pack. The game will prompt a confirmation dialog before locking Sanguis Valley.

Can you obtain the Early Silver Broadsword later in the game?

No. The Prologue Silver Broadsword found in the Miller's cellar is the only silver weapon accessible before fighting the first major vampire boss. Missing it makes Act I combat substantially more difficult.

How many in-game days do you have in the Prologue?

You are given 5 in-game days (40 total ticks) to complete the Prologue area before the Valley falls to the twilight quarantine.

What Are the 10 Must-Complete Tasks in the Prologue?

The opening province of Sanguis Valley serves as both an introduction to the /guides/30-day-time-system/ and a crucible containing crucial early-game equipment. Once you initiate the transit to the Royal Bastion, Sanguis Valley is quarantined and becomes inaccessible for the remainder of the playthrough.

Time Cost: 1 Tick
Walkthrough: Commune with the Solar Shrine to enable 1-tick instant travel across the Valley before departing.

What Happens If You Skip These 10 Tasks?

Skipping these tasks locks out 3 unique trophies, 2 permanent crafting recipes, and forces you to fight the Act I boss /bosses/ambrus/ with mundane iron weapons rather than specialized silver blade armaments.
