"Loose Ends" Warning

[Doonky]

I reached the part where I gotta head to Moonrise Towers to continue my quest. Game's warning me to tie up any loose ends before entering. So is there like any points of no return if I do proceed. For example, I still need to save Myrina in that dungeon but I'm pretty under leveled.

If you're underlevelled you really don't want to go to Act 2 just yet.

There's a reason for the warning, yes. It's not an instant point of no return, you can still come back to the earlier areas, but several things change if you go past it, including some quests potentially failing.

Also, if saving Mayrina is something you're under leveled for, you'd probably have a bad time in the areas after that warning anyway, as they're tougher than the area she's in. If you're underleveled for that there's probably plenty of stuff to go back and find anyway.

[MystShade]

you mean in Act 1 ?
crossing that threshold resolves the conflict between the goblin camp and the grove so if you wish to pick a side, you must do so before travelling further. it may also impact some other parts like the underdark but im not sure to what extent.

It is not a point of no return "yet" but i would strongly suggest clearing all the map marker before proceeding.

as long as you've done the grove quests, ie: Goblin leaders, Halsin, Save/betray the grove your fine. I would do both the underdark and the creche first but its not necessary

I always wanted to know: If i take the mountain pass, save Minthara in the Towers, can i still experience the Underdark with her? Or are all the plotlins already automaticly resolved when entering act 2?

Act 1 gets locked post entering the Shadowfell in the Gauntlet of Shar.
So as long you dont start the endgame of Act2, you can go back.

Edit: I am reading that both Halsin and Minthara will refuse to go back to act1. But you can stop their qq. Cast silence on them before moving, stops dialogue from triggering.

Ah that is what i remembered. No reason to go back than. My usual playtrough is to go to the monasty, than clear the underdark and depending if it is a good or evil playthrough choose the route into act 2. That way i don't miss out on quest areas.

tbh, it doesnt matter which route you choose to act 2. Theres no good or evil routes.

Imho, I like the route that meets you up with the absolutists even if i play good. Because you get an easy way to go through the darkness once you slay the summoned drider, and can go grab the moonrise towers waypoint. And go examine moonrise towers, and buy sell stuff. And 'leaving' by freeing the prisoners in the cellars. Joining on the boat, gets you a free trip back to the inn even if you havent seen it before.

Yes, time progresses when you head into the mountain pass. Thats why the warning exists.

what level would you recommend for act 2

[Moonbane]

Upon cleaning everything in act1, which includes underdark and the creche, i hit the lvl 7 mark. You should be fine with lvl 5-6.
Depending on class, you get extra attack and fireball at 5/6. Which is a major powerup.

This is incorrect. I have gone to moonrise at level 4 just to do some shoping. The only thing that gets affected is the grove quests. You can backtrack to the underdark or the cresche all the way until the last part of the trials of Shar.

Unfortunately you cannot bring Minthara to act 1. She is level 6 when you meet her at moonrise. Perhaps this is the reason but you can still recruit her but a cut scene will trigger anytime you try to return to act 1 and Minty will tell you she will stay behind and plot the next move vs Kethric

She'll dispear from camp but will re-appear once you return to act2

Cast silence on minthara. Cant start dialogue

I'm all for chaos and life lessons.

MARCH ON TO ACT 2, OP!
