Rivington Walkthrough:

Upon arriving in Rivington, explore the area and speak to specific NPCs to trigger story events. Recommended interactions include speaking to the blacksmith near the Rivington General and the journalist near the start of the bridge crossing from Rivington. Orin will reveal herself during these interactions.

To enter the Wyrm Gate and proceed to the Lower City, you have two options:

  1. Convince the guards to lower the gate through dialogue checks.
  2. Obtain a pass by completing the 'Investigate the Murders' side quest at the Open Hand Monk temple.

After entering the Wyrm Gate, you can visit Gortash in Wyrm Rock Hall. He will grant you access to the city and may offer a deal. You will also see Grand Duke Ravengard with him. Florrick may be arrested at this point, potentially unlocking the 'Rescue the Grand Duke' side quest if you saved her in Act 1.

Rivington Side Quests:

  • Investigate the Murders (Monk Temple near the Circus and the Bridge)
  • Investigate the Suspicious Toys (Rivington Mansion)
  • The Missing Worker at the Sharess Caress (A pub along the bridge)
  • Find The Missing Letters (Mail room on the east side of Rivington, near the bridge crossing)
  • Help The Cursed Monk (Underneath Rivington, accessible via a basement or a cave on the beach leading to ruins)
  • The Gur (Along the refugee camps to the far east of Rivington)
  • Dribbles The Clown (Part of the Circus on the western side of Rivington)
  • The Strange Ox (Inside a small barn above the Rivington Refugee area)
  • Win the Jackpot from the Genie at the Circus (Rivington Circus)
  • Rescue Florrick (Inside the Wyrmgate Prison, after lowering the bridge)
  • Raphael’s Deal (Inside one of the bedrooms in the Sharess Caress)

The 'Investigate the Murders' quest requires finding evidence in the Open Hand Monk Temple and reporting to the floating Elephant at the Sharess Caress. The 'The Gur' and 'The Strange Ox' quests can provide allies but require progression into the Lower City to complete.

Tips
  • Act 3 can take approximately 40 hours of playtime to complete if you engage with most of the side content.
  • Completing side quests and companion questlines is crucial for gathering allies who provide combat support, spell buffs, or passive buffs for the final showdown.
  • Gaining allies can make tougher parts of the game easier and provide additional RPG content, money, and experience.
  • Ensure you complete quests for your companions to strengthen your bond and potentially gain their aid in Act 3.
  • Be aware that many quests from Acts 1 and 2 may have consequences or continuation points in Act 3.
