Storyline questions *Major spoilers*
So, I pretty much did a full completion (at least of everything I could find on an "Imperial" playthrough), getting to 44 renown. One thing I can't complete is Critaa's last story quest because then Ellyani leaves and i don't know how to increase her disposition - saving her town and the entirety of the desert from sand wyrms didn't seem to affect her in the slightest. (Well, I did complete it and then had to reload)

Feels like the main quest is Tectum Carvos and its conclusion in the lost city to the south, you need to do pretty much everything on the map to complete it and it's the hardest one by far both in terms of crew and companion combat (in absolute numbers, it's actually not hard if you come fully prepared and maxed out).

Which leaves us with the wind quest, the one you get visions about throughout the whole game. It did feel like this was the main quest and that we'll need to deal with the undead elf witch at some point. Is this part of the game just not implemented yet or did I miss anything? Asking about the winds has one missing requirement (smth like "voice of nightmares level"), does it ever happen? I'm around turn 1900 now.

Another thing is Bestiaris arena - I did a lot of fights on it, but never got to the next stage to unlock the "challenge". Did I just not fight enough (I did more than any other arena i think), is it bugged or is it not implemented?

Last thing is the Temple of Sleepers - what's the deal with it? I can get inside with some heavy losses just by using cut through ranks every time and thinning out the ghosts with companions, but feels like I'm not supposed to go there this way, there's no journal entry either, is this quest finished?

With Eylani, you need to avoid slaughtering animals, avoid fighting in the Bestiaris Arena, avoid doing bounties on animals, etc. I don't know why she would leave after Criftaa's story specifically, but you can raise her disposition slightly by gifting her Survival Kits (I believe you can buy these at Fort Refugis and maybe some of the desert tribes, as well as a few other places on a limited time basis). Two should be enough to safely complete Criftaa's quest, five should get her back up to Disgruntled if you want to be safe. You can also show her various pets (e.g. the lizard pet from Lost Oasis), those give a much higher boost than Survival Kits but each can only be shown to her once.

And... if there are any pets left you absolutely should try to find them and show them to her because you haven't even started the main part of her personal quest, which diverges from TC after you complete the first stage of preparations.

When investigating the winds you were given a dream crystal, this lets you record the dreams you occasionally get while travelling. If you reach the end of those dreams (requires beating some challenges), then you can turn that crystal in when you turn in the rest of the investigation in TZS. If you don't wait before turning it in, then I don't think you can do anything with the dreams or the crystal. Currently as far as I'm aware there is no way to progress further.

Bestiaris Arena is kind of random. You have to beat enough of the "hard" fights there to unlock the challenge, but it may just give you easy fight after easy fight. As mentioned though, fighting in this arena tanks Eylani's loyalty.

I don't think you can do anything beyond gathering intelligence on the winds. When your enter the elven city it's instant death, a strong hint that this is business beyond a Vagrus' capabilities. Plus there would no longer be a plausible explanation why you couldn't travel south.

Temple of sleepers has a quest from the Scythichnis tied to it, I don't think there's anything else story wise (though not entirely sure, I have yet to discover what slumbers beneath the salt). You can go there to plunder tombs and get nice loot, I think that's everything there is to it atm.

Bestiaris arena gives you a fight against one of those crystal giants eventually, but I don't remember what triggered it. It's nothing major.

Another thing I'm wondering about: has anyone ever found a use for Tor'Zags library? It's always closed. Is this maybe tied to a renown victory? I'm doing the wealth ambition.

I did show Eylani every possible pet I own, but I didn't know she actually has a repeatable gift (beast lures were 1 time). I'll try Survival Kits, thanks. She seems to not like killing Abolitionists either, her loyalty tanked quite heavily after Criftaa's manhunt, she would probably be fine with the abolitionist option but I don't have it.

I already finished her personal quest a long time ago, she was Resentful the whole time :D.

I also did finish the dream crystal/Carravhon quest, it seemed logical it should continue at some point.

Thanks for the tips.

RE: library - closed for me too and I picked renown.

You've just reminded me that I can still do the salt thing as there's no active quest but I indeed never investigated it.

Just found out that there is a "great temple" with glyphs in the valley of sleepers. You need to find 8 clues to decipher them. I have 0...

It's probably tied to the Knowledge Victory (which isn't out yet).
