How to fast skip Chapter 4 - Abyss?

[Anıl]

Hey,

So far game was great but ch 4 - abyss part extremely boring for me. Which quests should I focus to skip fast?

Depends on the Mythic Path. Can't say much to Aeon, but Azata takes long, because you have to kill the slavers. Trickster is very quick, Demon as well, Lich has not much to do. Angel has to do an additional quest.

Otherwise, you do the battlebliss arena first. After that, you have to do Rapture of Rupture in the upper town, what is basically just talking and last The art of making friends, what is a fetch quest for a crystal.

I think chapter 4 is extremely overhelming and complicated. I managed to get lost in the first area already... Who thought it is a good idea tp create changing architecture? To be hones, after 40 hours into the game, this is so much I think I abort the game...

And after your response (I am playing Azata) it seems even more complicated.

I just finisshed CH4 and yeah, really overwhelming. But I think I did lot of side quests too. Just do main ones as the @Baldurs_Gate_2 says and skip fast.

No idea why but I really liked it. Change of angle shifts, the atmosphere of total corruption and deceit... and the colour choice was great. Daeran and Arueshelae shine in their character interaction. By the way, Rapture of Rupture always ended into a fight for me. First time because I messed up and second time because I just could not leave the victims as furniture. It is a good fight.

You can also climb to the upper levels with mobility and athletics check.

Actually I think this might be a reason why the act has somewhat of a bad rep. Personally I did enjoy it, but the constant doom and gloom and especially the music were really getting to me.

I get it's the abyss but the atmosphere was genuinely unpleasant, and that's coming from someone who enjoys evil playthroughs.

I don't find the aesthetics unpleasant. I just get annoyed there is so much backtracking with an inability to simply click on the map and trust that the party will navigate to the target location while I do something else...

That said I do enjoy Chapter 4 overall. Rotating the camera to modify the geography as though the camera itself were a lock-pick can get annoying while back tracking tho.

Yes atmosphere of abyss was great but that damn camera angles... It was annoying and hard to find my way. Unfortunately Daeran died on my walkthrough but I was wondering what'll happen to him.
