A practical prologue route

The important cutoff is committing to Blood Mass, not merely seeing Sacred Covenant in the journal. After Like Father, Like Son, you can still use the remaining daylight on village quests; returning to Pieter to wait skips that remaining time. Finish the activities you care about before taking that option. PowerPyx: Sacred Covenant.

Prioritise Live Bait and the medicine errand, then visit Deep Down in the afternoon, following PC Gamer's selective route. PC Gamer: prologue order.

Withering Away: find Anca and prepare the medicine

1. After All Good Things, complete Pieter's household chores and equip the sword.
2. At Anca's empty house, use Focus Mode to inspect the partly watered patch and empty barrel. Follow the path around the house to find her by the river.
3. Return with her for the herbs. If you cannot afford the asking price, the recorded dialogue offers a reduced payment or a promise to pay later.
4. Staying through the rain starts Page-Turner and adds time; leaving continues the medicine errand.
5. Back with Pieter, choose hot water and three spoonfuls of herbs. Tell Esme a story to persuade her to drink.

The correct medicine prevents her immediate death at Blood Mass. That is a consequence at this scene, not a guarantee of every later outcome. Published guides count the combined errands differently, so check each displayed time cost rather than using a fixed total here. PowerPyx: Withering Away steps.

Dead Drop: a short investigation without a time charge

At the Outcast's Burial Ground, inspect the fresh flowers on the forgotten grave using Focus Mode. Follow footprints uphill, then the carved symbols on trees, until you reach a fallen tree. Search below its symbol, behind the rocks, for the stash. It contains the Ring of Purging, money and a letter about resistance to Brencis; completion awards 100 XP. PowerPyx records no time cost and places its cutoff before Sacred Covenant's prologue conclusion. PowerPyx: Dead Drop.

Deep Down: route, time cost and outcome

After All Good Things, speak to Gavril at his farm. Cross the northwest bridge toward the bogs. Beyond the shrine, find Lazar's cart; use Focus Mode to follow footprints past the basket, wolves and hole. Underground, follow the river through the narrow gap into the ruins. See the Forgotten Guardian fight for the exit.

Budget one time segment. In PowerPyx's dead-Lazar branch, discovering his body spends it. After escaping, report to Gavril; the listed completion reward is 250 XP and 25 Denarius. Informing the elderman afterward is optional. PowerPyx: Deep Down.

If Lazar is alive: PC Gamer's afternoon route has you talk to him, escape the ruins, then offer to walk him back to Gavril. Escort is optional: he returns safely alone. The guide finds him dead if delayed until evening. It does not establish the dead branch's body-discovery trigger for this living branch. PC Gamer: Deep Down section.

Launch quest name index

This searchable index complements the 20 recorded quests above. In a September 5, 2026 capture, GamerGuides displayed 99 checklist rows. Four labels appeared twice, leaving 95 distinct displayed quest labels after case-insensitive de-duplication.

This is not an authoritative total for the game. A repeated title can represent separate rows, and a name-only checklist does not prove prerequisites, outcomes or completeness. Use this index to find a label; use the quest notes and linked walkthroughs where available.
