This route records interactions, route-only rewards and boss encounter points. Combat strategies are deliberately kept out of the walkthrough.

Start: Campfire clearing
Key unlock: Harros Shell
Destination: Marrow Keep

Opening path

Annotated route board for the first path after standing up — Route 02Once control returns, stand up and stay on the only main path. Treat this as a movement tutorial: do not leave the road looking for side content yet.

Annotated route board leading to Daisy — Route 03Continue along the road and speak with Daisy at the marked spot. Finish the conversation before taking the cave-side exit shown in red.

Annotated route board for the Mother statue and Harros Shell — Route 04At the Mother Statue, interact with the glowing point to acquire the Harros Shell. The story cutscene starts immediately after the pickup.

Annotated Village Outskirts Beacon route — Route 06Break the wooden crates, drop down and unlock the Village Outskirts Rebirth Beacon. Purify it, open the stone coffin inside for the Muradyn Actuator, then use the elevator and wall switch to finish the corruption route.

Annotated route to the Foul Remnant boss — Route 12Use the cave in front of the Beacon to reach the Foul Remnant. The encounter reward is the Charred Effigy.

Annotated descent from Faithful Grotto — Route 13Return to the Beacon and take the right-hand mountain descent. A hidden enemy appears at the marked point; collect the Heartstone behind it, climb up and speak with Rook.
