Twenty Things Bohemia Does Not Tell You

Twenty tips

• Decide about Lent before you eat anything: no meat, no animal kills, for the whole story.
• Pay the herbwoman before Hans does. A Knight’s Word is early Trosky and easy to lose.
• Combat Training I and II with Tomcat before any fight that matters.
• The master strike is the game. Learn it in Trosky; Zavish will check.
• Every main quest starts with a permanent save. A missed trophy is a reload.
• Trosky before Necessary Evil; Kuttenberg before Oratores. Both regions come back after the credits, but the story does not wait.
• Read. Scholarship makes every other skill book usable.
• Bathe before you talk to anyone important. Charisma is soap.
• Groschen in the bank of a good reputation: sell in towns that like you.
• Mutt fetches, tracks and pulls attention in fights. Feed him.
• Blunt weapons through plate, stabs through mail. Read the armour before you pick the weapon.
• Stamina wins duels. Let them swing at air.
• Four loaded hand cannons is a trophy, not a strategy.
• Brushes with Death opens in Trosky after quest 6; do its four Trosky quests before quest 8 or you will be doing them after the credits — the last six wait for Kuttenberg.
• Legacy of the Forge and Mysteria Ecclesiae both open early in Kuttenberg; the forge pays for itself.
• Hardcore: never Menace on a first run.
• The gold dice badge is the Shiny trophy, and dice is how a poor Henry gets rich.
• A crime seen is a crime; a crime unseen is a rumour. Reputation remembers both differently.
• Pebbles is out there. An Old Friend.
• Been There, Done That is 90% of everything: tasks count. Do the small jobs.
