Salt and Sanctuary: NPC Quest Guide [Achievements]

Haven't seen many npc quest guides apart from the many Russian ones so here's an English one I guess
these are in order from first to encounter to last [not location wise]

Masterless Knight

Numba one

The Masterless knight is the first npc quest you can start in the game, when first talking to him make sure to answer yes whenever you can, to start the quest.

There are 6 locations he appears in, making him the npc with the most locations.

• First Location
  The first location he appears in is right outside of The Festering Banquet just before the broken bridge in Bandit's Pass
  Remember to answer Yes when he asks about hearing his quest or he will not appear again
  
  
  
  
• Second Location
  The second location he appears in is The Castle of Storms next to the elevator shortcut outside
  If you kill the Kraekan Wyrm before speaking to him he will not appear again
  
  
  
  
• Third Location
  The third location he appears in is The Red Hall of Cages just outside from the right of the sanctuary, right before the steps
  If you defeat The Tree of Men before speaking to him he will not appear again
  
  
  
  
• Fourth Location
  The fourth location he appears in is Hager's Cavern on the ledge above the sanctuary
  To get there, there's another ledge higher with an Armor mite that you can drop from to land there
  If you defeat The Disembowelled Husk before speaking to him he will not appear again
  
  
  
  
• Fifth Location
  The fifth location he appears in is at the bottom of The Ruined Temple before or after The Coveted is defeated
  There are multiple different ways to reach the bottom of The Ruined Temple, the most common way is to defeat The Coveted to reach the bottom, but you can also travel to the Pitchwoods and go past the Spindlebeast [Ska Studios worst creation] to the left to get there
  Red: Coveted path
  Black: Knight
  Blue: Pitchwoods path
  
  You don't need to beat The Coveted to have him appear there but if you kill Carsejaw the Cruel before speaking to him he will not appear at the final location
  
  
  
  
• Final Location
  The final location he appears in is past Carsejaw The Cruel right before the water in Pitchwoods
  After speaking to him in the fifth location all you need to do is defeat Carsejaw to have him appear here
  

Despondent Thief

nUmba 2

The Despondent Thief has 4 total locations and is the fastest quest line to complete [in my opinion]

• First Location
  The thief first appears above you at an unreachable platform right before the platforms that lead to fighting the Kraekan Wyrm
  To reach her you have to defeat the Kraekan Wyrm
  Once you reach her she rewards you with the Shadowflip Brand
  
  
  
  
  
• Second Location
  The second location she appears is in The Red Hall of Cages right after the fight with the Heartseeker and Red lord, in the pathway that requires the Shadowflip Brand
  
  using the Vertigo Brand to reach the platform at the very top
  
  
  If you defeat The Tree of Men before speaking to her, she won't appear again
  
  
  
  
  
• Third Location
  The third location she appears in is Hager's Cavern at the very top platforms requiring the Shadowflip brand, travelling as high as possible from the sanctuary **Remember to reply Yes so she will appear at the final location**
  
  
  If you defeat The Disembowelled Husk before speaking to her, she won't appear again
  
  
  
• Final Location
  The final location the thief appears in is at The Far Beach sitting on the abandoned raft
  If you have talked to her at all previous locations and replying Yes at the third location she will be here
  

Black Sands Sorcerer

Numba tree

The Black Sands Sorcerer has 3 locations and is the rarest achievement in the game ^_^

• First Location
  The sorcerer first appears in the Ziggurat of Dust after defeating The Dried King
  He rewards you with the Dart Brand [second best movement R.I.P long jump] when you first talk to him
  Make sure to Exhaust all dialogue and reply Yes in order for him to appear in the second location
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Second Location
  The second location he appears in is The Ruined Temple after defeating The Coveted at the top path inside the small Hager's Cave passage, you need to use the Shadowflip and/or Dart brand to get there
  
  
  Again you need to exhaust all dialogue for him to appear in the next location
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Final Location
  After exhausting all dialogue in the first and second locations as well as replying Yes in the first location and defeating The Witch of The Lake and The Coveted , he will appear at the very first area The Shivering Shore in the water
  If you defeat The Witch Of The Lake before The Coveted then he will not appear
  
  After you speak to him he presumably drowns himself Rip
  

GG

That's all the quest lines that give achievements gg

[dunno how tf I got Fading Fast first on my first run lol]

[CtenosaurOaxacana]

Good guide.
Besides doing these quests for the achievements & lore,
it's worth finishing them for quest rewards.
Each NPC gives you an end game upgrade material:

Masterless Knight --> A King's Orders

Despondent Thief --> Frozen Tome

Black Sands Sorcerer --> Charred Tome

no problem, magic is very fun

[Alpha Stark]

Thank you for your help with this guide. Got my 100%. My first magic run is going incredibly well. Why did no one tell me magic was so powerful lol.

[pamquake]

good luck then and remember to keep talking to him until he repeats his dialogue

[Alpha Stark]

It doesn't matter now just got to bum rush the game again just for that. probably a magic run. i mainly play paladin type characters so i haven't explored much of the magic so this is the perfect opportunity.

[pamquake]

thats sucks, did you make sure that you exhausted all his dialogue?

[Alpha Stark]

I picked the game back up again to finish all the achievements and i don't know what happened but after beating the coveted after finishing the knights quest he (the sorcerer) didn't show up to the second location. I swear i hit yes on the sorcerer's quest but now i just got gear up to get far enough to just get that last dang achievement.
