The Journey Begins

Upon arriving in Bowerstone, you'll receive a message from Theresa stating she's running late. You have five minutes before she appears. During this time, you can explore Bowerstone Market, buy items, or earn gold by picking up a job (look for the glowing exclamation mark nearby!).

Head right from the blacksmith towards Bowerstone Old Town. As you enter, the guard or the crooked man (whomever you gave the warrants to) will approach and offer you a discount for all stores in Old Town. You can buy something if you wish.

Continue following the gold dust trail through Old Town and exit through the large stone gate to Rookridge Road.

Upon entering Rookridge, you'll be warned of bandits ahead. Continue down the path. You will encounter a looter by a wrecked cart. You can kill him if you choose.

Keep following the path. You will soon be ambushed by a small group of bandits. After defeating them, climb the hill at the back of the area (where they were shooting from). At the end of the path, you'll find a chest. Return to the main road and continue.

As you move along the set path, look for chests. There is one beneath the arches on the left and another behind a large rock on the right.

At the next set of ruins, fight another small group of bandits. Look beneath the arches for a chest. Continue along the dirt path.

At the base of the next hill, you'll find a small bandit camp. Kill the occupants and search for a chest behind the large rock in the center of the area.

Theresa will alert you to more bandits ahead. Deal with them and head left to find a broken bridge. Walk to the end of the bridge and dive into the water below.

Swim left and climb onto the beach. Talk to the NPC (non-player character — anyone the game controls, not you) Herman, whose son is missing in the nearby cave. He will join you.

Enter the Hobbe Cave and follow the path until a brief cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) introduces the Hobbes. Defeat the attacking group and continue up the ramp.

Navigate through the tunnels at the top of the room until you reach a locked door. Herman will ask you to find a way past it.

Your dog will wander off. Follow it, and it will lead you to another entrance. Proceed through the tunnel and jump down to the next room. Destroy the wooden barricade blocking the door in the water.

Ascend the ramp and take the tunnel away from the previously locked door into a large room filled with Hobbes. Fight your way through them.

Climb the large, circular ramp around the outside of the room, defeating any hobbes that attack you. At the top, you should see a tunnel leading to a lad.
