Walkthrough
By Erdbeertoertchen
A little map (crude but hey best i could do) to have a overview, a walkthrough and a description to most of the Achievements.

I only put in the bare minimum information, so as not to spoil the game and all you can find here, but if there are questions i can probablöy answer them, as i keep my notes to the game.

walkthrough
I´ll try to put together the least difficult way, so that even with a mediocore roll on stats you should be able to do it. But there are some really hard monsters in there, and some can´t be skipped. The numbers are refering to the locations on the map and here i will only mention the ones used for the walkthrough, because i don´t want to spoil the story and places to explore.

After rolling your stats you can bring one potion with you, i used Luck if i got less than 8 and any other time the Stamina restoring one. Skillpotion isn´t that needed if you follow this walkthrough.
