East Altus Plateau

From the broken greatbridge along the windmill road and up through Dominula, out to the tower above the capital road, then the lightning ridge, Sainted Hero's Grave and Stormcaller Church, with a last trip to Varré in Liurnia.

This section takes you to about level 80. It covers the plateau's north and east: the road under the broken greatbridge, the windmills, the road to the capital's gates and the ridge where the lightning falls. Don't go through the gates yet. The section ends with a short trip back to Liurnia for Varré.

About this guide

Expect about 230 hours over three runs, in a game where bosses take practice. This route uses no save backups. Run 1 collects everything in the base game and Shadow of the Erdtree, and takes about 170 of those hours. NG+ (about 40) and NG++ (about 20) are shorter runs for the other two endings and the other quest branches, with tougher enemies and some bosses to beat again for remembrance trades. Random drops and free-choice NPC kills never count toward 100%.
