Progression
Act I – Awakening
Act I – Awakening is the first chapter of The Exalted Path, Soulrend’s main quest line. It starts as soon as Welcome to Soulrend in the Prologue is done. The act is short: one main line ends with killing three zombies, and most other quests are signposts that open side chapters such as Rise of the Champion, Factions and the weapon-path chapters.
Main line#
- Find a Place To Call Home: a checkmark that gives iron tools.
- New Faces, New Stories: a checkmark that opens Factions and The Overworld.
- Kill 3 Zombies: the only fight in the act.
- Act II – First Steps: the act’s closing quest, which opens Act II.
