Frequently asked questions

What do I do if a side quest will not progress?

Check the missables list to see whether it has already closed and what closes it. If it is still open, open its step-by-step guide from the region where it starts.

How do I know if I am too early for a boss?

The list of all bosses shows their health and region; if the boss belongs to a region you have not finished yet, it is usually better to come back later.
