This guide, originally by chris-williams, covers the PS4 version of Shadows of Doubt. It's a massive resource, detailing everything from the very beginning of your detective career to the final, climactic confrontations.

We'll walk through character creation, breaking down attributes and races. Then, we dive deep into the game's classes: Warriors (Fighters, Barbarians, Rangers, Paladins), Arcane Spellcasters (Mages, Sorcerers, and their spells), Divine Spellcasters (Clerics, Druids, Monks, Shamans, and their spells), and Rogues (Thieves, Bards).

The guide also lays out your journey through the game's chapters, starting with Chapter 1: Finding a Way Out, which includes Irenicus' Dungeon and Waukeen's Promenade. It then moves into Chapter 2: Exploring Athkatla, covering various districts like the Slums, Government District, Docks, and Mae'Var's Guildhall, before venturing out in Chapter 2: Beyond Athkatla to places like de'Arnise Hold and Trademeet. Companion quests are also detailed, with specific sections for Anomen, Cernd, Edwin, and many others.

As you progress, you'll tackle Chapter 3: Picking a Side, dealing with the Shadow Thieves and the Rival Guild, followed by Chapter 4: Effecting a Rescue, which involves Brynnlaw and Spellhold. The journey continues through Chapter 5: Finding Your Way Back in the Underdark, Chapter 6: Staking a Claim with an assault on Bodhi's Lair, and Chapter 7: Taking Back What's Yours in Suldanessellar and Hell.

The later stages of the game are covered in Chapter 8: Besieged, detailing the Pocket Plane and Saradush, and Chapter 8: Companion Quests for ToB content. Finally, the guide culminates with Chapter 9: The Bhaalspawn, covering Amkethran and Abazigal's Lair, leading to the Finale: The Throne of Blood and the Appendix: True Lord of Murder.
