Rushing to the Consecrated Snowfield
If I CAN get through to the mountains before doing anything much in Altus or the Capital, does this close off any quests, if I don't mess with the Fire Giant? (FYI, I have been farming and leveling my character to a desired build, and now I just want to have total map freedom, to play the game any which way, before going into the end game.) It's not my first campaign but I am worried about losing out on quest rewards if I do do this.

You can do it. It isn't easy if you're doing it for the first time. You have to fight some major bosses in the Capital in order to reach the Mountaintop of the Giants. Then you have to make your way through there to Castle Sol to fight a very nasty boss to get half of the medallion that unlocks the elevator to the Consecrated Snowfields. The other half you get from Nepheli Loux's quest line if you haven't done that yet. You need two great runes to get into the Capital.

Oh, I'm ready for him. He's not ready for me....

If you haven't done Bloody Finger Hunter Yura's quest like it will be impossible to do it once you reach Mountaintops of the Giants. I think that's the only one that fails. If you didn't talk to Latenna the Albinauric after getting half of the medallion in the Albinauric Village then you won't get the reward she gives you for carrying her Ash to the Consecrated Snowfields. I think that's all. I didn't do what you're trying to do before NG+2, so I wasn't thinking about the quests since I'd done them all before. If you go any further than the Snowfields though, other quests will fail.

I will have to look up Yura's quest to see where I'm at with that. Latenna is sorted out.

I was thinking about Alexander, but I don't do much with him in ALtus and I don't think going up the Rold Lift early will stop him being a summons for the Fire Giant, when I'm eventually, finally ready to push into the end game. (Alexander was, IMO, hands down the greatest single NPC summons in the game for that fight.)

My main goal for going up "early" is to access certain weapons and armor to enjoy playing with back in Altus and the Capital, without going into NG+. I'm ready to hit the Rold Lift now.

Any replies after the next ten minutes will be too late, I'm afraid and the damage will be done.

Update: I'm going to hit the Yura quest in ALtus first.
