How do you tell what to do to unlock new stuff?

[Brian9824]

Loving game so far, only real complaint is its almost overwhelming with number of quests and objectives. How can you identify what the major ones are, for instance unlocking new features, char's, etc. I get lost on what to focus on

Rewards that give Traits, Blessings, Skills, and Items are your best bet to focus on for quests. These are permanent unlocks that can help you tremendously as you level, unlock new build options, and get more powerful. Basically anything that doesn't only unlock gold.

However, every quest you complete also adds to a global % increase to experience gain during runs so don't count out the gold quests either. All completion is helpful.

Hello there,

check your Quest Board regulary.
(can be done midrun as well via Quest Button in the lower left corner on your char screen)

You will get the feeling, which quests you are able to clear and which ones should be left for later.
IMO one of the most important things, dont be too stubborn early on.
You have no linear progression and you dont have to clear Haunted Caverns before atempting Ember Grounds.
In fact, you always might want to do a quick dip into new Halls, since some quests can be done by rushing them and give you a large boost in general power.

If you want some kind of "walkthrough":

But still, I highly recommend exploring on your own and never be afraid to do things "out of order"

Cheers!
