Notes

• The scripted dialogue sequences can be repeated over and over by walking near their trigger points.
• Sir Hughes, Hosni at-Tura, and General Godrun don't appear with the usual red filter unlike the other enemies within the dream.
• The bosses guarding the keys will respawn shortly after being defeated the first time.
• When you engage High King Emeric, you will have to fight a gauntlet of the bosses you defeated before beating the final boss (Galthis).

Notes

* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.

• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
