How to Use This Guide

The guide follows the chapter subdivisions found in the stargazer (a type of checkpoint (an auto-save point you restart from on death)) selection screen.

Each chapter covers the critical path plus any diversions to complete quests and obtain missables.

Bosses, hostile NPCs, and tough enemies with important drops are highlighted and bolded red.

Stargazers are highlighted bright blue.

Items you receive are highlighted a more subdued blue.

Important choices are preceded by a Warning: statement.

Notes about alternative ending decisions are in pink.

Example excerpt from Chapter 2 (@ Krat City Hall): Follow the street to a fountain and turn left into the alley. Press the button to open the shortcut. Continue up the steps past the fountain. Check near the tree on the left side of the entrance to pick up Krat News Issue 1124. Now go to the opposite side and defeat the Brawler Puppet. Check near the tree on the right side of the entrance to pick up Broken Baby Puppet. Enter city hall and look for a chest on the left. Open the chest to obtain the Puppet Destroyer's Amulet. Before most major boss arenas, you will find a basin that allows you to spend a Star Fragment to summon a Specter (an NPC (non-player character — anyone the game controls, not you) ally) who will assist in taking the boss down. Open the door to enter the courtyard. Defeat the Scrapped Watchman to get Overcharged Storage Battery, Broken Hero's Ergo, Core, Quartz, and Small Wooden Officer Puppet. Repair the Stargazer.

Example excerpt from @ Krat City Hall Courtyard: Investigate "Friends" near the bench on the left to get Faded Whistle.
