Guide:Acts quick guide

The Quick Guide is a speed-running guide for all the Acts. It is designed to assist experienced players who have completed the Acts at least once and are aware of the game mechanics. Therefore we do not cover basic gameplay aspects in this guide.

This guide includes:

• All Book of Skill Quests
• All Trials
• All minor and major Gods (to fully unlock The Pantheon)
• Kills all Bandits (optional, you can save the bandit of your choice as per your build guide)

This guide does not include:

• All Book of Regrets Quests, because regret points can be easily obtained through s.

Terminology

• "WP" means Waypoint - use a Waypoint at a town to quickly navigate to the location
• "TP" means Teleport - use a Portal Scroll, the Portal skill or exit to character select to teleport straight to the last town you have been in
