South Liurnia

The south shore, Laskyar and the lake, the Village of the Albinaurics and the western shore, then the key, Academy Gate Town and the far side of the Academy's seal.

South Liurnia suits level 40 to 50 with a weapon at +3 or +4, or +1 or +2 on somber stones. The western shore is rated higher, at 60 to 70, which is why this route walks it after the south. Torrent rides the shallows freely, so nearly all of the lake is open to you from the start.

Before you touch a grace in Liurnia

Touching any grace here moves Roderika out of the Stormhill Shack for good, and a rest here can end Irina's part of her quest. So check these first: Roderika's shack talks and Gesture: Sitting Sideways in the Stormhill section, her Chrysalids' Memento step in the Stormveil Castle section, and Edgar: letter delivered in the Weeping Peninsula section. If any of these is open, go back and finish it.

Leave Hyetta unharmed

Never attack her. Killing her at any step ends her quest: Hyetta: first grape, her later grape steps in the East Liurnia and Lower Ainsel River section, and Gesture: As You Wish. If you killed Irina yourself she never comes. The route does neither.

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%.
