Discover the starting area of Outward 2, Chersonese, and its city of Cierzo. Learn about monsters, winter survival, key locations like Troglodyte Cave, Bandit Camp, and Wine Grave, and valuable items.
Chersonese, specifically the city of Cierzo, is your starting point in Outward 2. This guide covers the area's challenges, resources, and points of interest.
Walkthrough
- 1Area Overview: Chersonese features mostly easy monsters, with some exceptions that can be challenging early on. Be prepared for the winter season, during which you'll get cold quickly. It's often advisable to travel to other locations during winter for better income and survival.
- 2Key Flora and Fauna: Look for garberries, which provide a long-lasting stamina boost. White birds can rarely drop the valuable Pearlbird Mask (+20% movement speed).
- 3Troglodyte Cave (Blister Burrow): An easy dungeon required for a Cierzo quest. Find a secret room requiring a tiny aquamarine jewel. Mine mana crystals for a chance at hackmanite (worth 50 silver).
- 4Bandit Camp North: A challenging dungeon for new players with many bandits and a boss. The boss drops a strong early-game weapon and a key to an ornate chest. A 110-weight backpack can be found here.
- 5Ancient Ruins North: Requires passing Ghost Pass. Contains the 'Miriad of the Bones' quest for an ornate chest. It's story-related for the Holy Mission faction and has weak enemies except for an avoidable wendigo.
- 6Wine Grave: Located south of three ghoul monsters. Requires wine. Drinking wine grants an immediate Tsar Stone. Pouring wine on a weapon and then killing the spirit before obtaining the Tsar Stone allows for infinite farming of the material, used for heavy armor and a strong, albeit slow, physical damage weapon.
- 7Wine Cellar: A small dungeon near the Wine Grave with ghosts and wine. A lever opens a secret wall to an ornate chest.
- 8Cabal of Wind Tower: Accessible via Ghost Pass. Obtain the Explorer Lantern (better than the Old Lantern) and learn wind magic skills from a trainer. Interacting with a nearby totem pole permanently enables wind magic use in Chersonese.
- 9Ghost Pass: A difficult dungeon with narrow passages and many ghost and ghoul enemies. Ethereal damage is highly effective; potions for this can be found within. Enemies do not respawn if you stay in Chersonese. An ornate chest is located near the end.
- 10Immaculate Cave: Features a powerful Immaculate. Asking for power grants a unique boon spell. After finding all four Immaculate caves, you can receive a unique ethereal damage weapon. Joining the Holy Mission faction before finding all caves may prevent obtaining this weapon.
- 11Starfish Cave: Accessible at night when the tide is low. A good location for farming blue sand.
- 12Holy Mission Passage To Mana Mountain: An easy passage to Mana Mountain for magic acquisition. A strong ally within the dungeon will defeat enemies for you. The goal is to pull three levers to open a grate in the center room.
- 13Vigil Pylon/Tomb: The tomb is a small dungeon with two ghosts and loot. An ornate chest is located outside before the entrance; a key dropped by a mechanism on the stairs opens it.
Tips
- Prepare for winter by bringing warm clothing or seeking shelter.
