Act 2 Choice

[slquoue]

I've just started Act 2 - would you do Infiltrate Moonrise Towers (Underdark Route) or Infiltrate Moonrise Towers (Mountain Pass Route)?

It doesn't really matter, it only changes where on the Act 2 map you start off. Personally I did both questlines but entered Act 2 via the Underdark. Mainly because I liked the idea of my character going "At last, we're going aboveground, I can see the sun again!" *Arrives in Shadow Cursed Lands* "Oh, ffs!"

There is a possibility of slightly altering the sequence of events leading up to Last Light and Moonrise, from either of the two entrances.

If you do Mountain Pass entrance, you first meet Kar'Niss' caravan and are asked to summon him for the journey to Moonrise. If you do, you meet the Harpers sent to retrieve Kar'Niss' Moonlantern.

If you do the Underdark entrance, the first major encounter you have is with Harper Lassandra and the shadows that attack her cohort, who will then give you the pin to head immediately to Last Light (note that since it's a pin, you can ignore it and explore the rest of this region first, which can allow you to circle back to the caravan and the other Harpers - something that may be helpful for Last Light).

Similarly, certain encounters are closer than others. The Shambling Mound is closer to the Underdark entrance while He Who Asks and his b*tch raven are closer to the Mountin Pass entrance. The Shadow Mastiffs & the Meazels are kinda middle of the road.

I went through the Mountain Pass just to save Hyena from an abusive master. Without doing anything more after that, I went back and returned to the Shadow-Cursed Lands through Grymforge and continued that way.

I did this but the moon lantern I had received from killing Karniss (I'd release the pixie inside) no longer seemed to work. But it seems I can circle up to that entrance to the map anyway so I'm not missing anything?

You are missing something.

You can click the bell she gives you and she’ll come and rebuff you again
