Tips

As in any games doing the tutorial is highly recommended. But I found the tutorial storyline ‘Pilgrims of the Wasteland’ much harder than the rest of the game. So don’t get discouraged if you’re having significant difficulty finishing the prologue.

Vagrus is about exploration, so explore a lot. Go to the confines of the playable map ! Don’t hesitate to select every option when visiting a location. Even when you have visited a location many times, a new option may appear, because you have the requirements. Buy every rumor you can, because it may unlock quest, places or new interactions.

An important point is that you can’t explore the whole map. You can’t go beyond the fork north of Deven, The Twin Towers and Carravhon to the south, The Crimson gate to the east, Sadirar and Eitrar to the west.

Start small and then improve your comitatus little by little to transport more goods and generate more profits. Avoid travelling without transporting goods as much as possible, because you lose money this way.

Hire enough fighter so that your comitatus is sufficiently protected. It will be easier to maintain vigor, moral and obedience to high levels because you will not have a penalty of -1 vigor if you guard the camp when camping.

Outriders are stronger than fighters but they consume more supplies than the sum of fighters and mount. When you don’t have a fight, don’t forget to dismount them.

Recruit companions as soon as possible. You can recruit them as soon as you see Braxius. He will suggest that you recruit 2: Gor'goro or Garrik + a random one. Always choose Gor'goro because he is more powerful than Garrik. In this guide, you will find how to recruit each companion. Check regularly with them when you set camp. Sometimes they will ask you something and it will start a new quest and sometimes you can talk to them and gain insights or new codex entries.

Max your authority as soon as possible. And later in the game try to max your resourcefulness. Also, the leadership perk call ‘Command’ will help you a lot in Crew Combat even if you do not have enough combat strength. This perk unlock action that can make you win the fight.

Be careful to always get enough supplies when travelling. When you comitatus run out of supply, your crew members will wear themselves out and end up not being able to move forward. Save as often as possible, you don’t know what awaits you on the road.

Don’t spend your insight points too fast, rather wait to see what you need or you risk getting stuck.

How to make profit: Do tasks for factions. It will increase your reputation with them and you will get tasks with more interesting reward. Opposite of buying and reselling you don’t need to spend anything. Passenger transport isn’t the best way to make profit in most cases.

To win Vagrus, the simplest remains Renown, then Whealth and the hardest is the Knowledge ambition.

Pilgrims of the Wasteland (Part 1)

A Second Chance
Leave Scrapheap in ‘Pilgrims of the Wasteland’
First you need to travel to Scrapheap, two nodes away from where your comitatus is standing. But before you enter Javek will talk to you about your next mission.

Select: Time will tell, but I still have my doubts – It does yes – Our plan ought to give us another chance – If he is not willing, we must find a way to compel him – Taking a peek? – Apology accepted.

Select Track Down Narbo – Walk over to the bar – Wait until he is done with his paper – Walk over to Narbo’s table – Apologise to him – You breeze in – Tell him that you will be in his debt. Let him know that in exchange for his help, you can help him out with a problem he might have right now. He will ask you to deliver a package to Skornar in Avernum.

Buy everything for your journey to the market: 24 Scrap Metal, 800 Supplies, The Awnings equipment (you will be guided through this by the tutorial).

Don’t quit yet. In the story pane, click on: Stroll Scounger’s Lane. Find the merchant who is selling the cheap supply and buy the supplies. Then select: You recall a little shop hidden in an alley and buy the compass; it will be a great help to you. When you are read click on the exit arrow on the top right corner. You will have a conversation with Jarvek. You can choose what you want, but I advise you to spare the members of your comitatus: +3 Morale. The achievement should pop.

Press-ganged
Reach Avernum in ‘Pilgrims of the Wasteland’
Before moving don’t forget to equip the Compass. To travel you will have only one road so don’t bother about where Avernum is situated. It will take 10 days for you to arrive in Avernum. When camping you need to choose about defense, select: Post Guards.

At the end of day two after camping, you will see an event window and you will have to fight two Jhakra. The tutorial will guide you through your first fight. When it’s over choose to: Harvest the damned critters before going back to bed.” Reward: 2 Ivory, 90 Supplies, 5 Hides.

During the fifth day of travel (day 11 on your calendar), you will encounter The last Pilgrimage: Try to find a place where you can hide – Hunker down with the comitatus.

On the sixth day of travel, the game will remind you to pay your comitatus. You can’t yet, so continue to travel to Avernum.

When you reach the extremity of the voiceless lake, a window will appear. If you fail the test, you can still pass but you will lose : 1 Mount, 1 Fighter, 1 Slave and 2 Morale. If you fail, reload and try again. If you succeed you will gain +1 Morale.

But you are not at the end of your sorrows. After leaving the lake behind, you will hear battle sounds. Rush in and attack the undead and get +1 Morale. A fight will commence against two cinderborns and one congregated. You will have two allies at your side. Place Morwen on the front row and Jawek behind Sedarias. After the fight you loose 1 fighter. Tell him that you are a trading comitatus travelling south – Best not to make him wait – Exhaust all four options and ask him what he plans to do now.

Now you don’t have enough fighter so when camping play between : Post no guards and Post guard to keep Morale, Obedience and Vigor above 3.

On the seventh day of travel (Day 19 on your calendar), you encounter The last Pilgrimage again. Hide and gain +5 Insights

On the ninth day, you will arrive in the city of Avernum.

Before entering Avernus, Sedarias will want to have a chat with you. Ask him every question then agrees to help him (you can choose the reason). Enter the city, pay the tax gate and the achievement should pop.

The Package
Deliver Narbo’s package to Skornar in ‘Pilgrims of the Wasteland’
When you have reached Avernum on the story pane select: Meet Skornar – Talk to Skornar – Hand him the package. Reward: +2 Insights.

After you have delivered the package to Skornar enter the temple of Ahskul ask the priests about the walls and their gods and Visit the Great Ossuary to gain +2 Insight. You also gain +2 Insight each time you add 10 new codex entries. So, try to exhaust every option. As there are many, I won’t detail all of them.

Visit the Sorcerer – Tell me what you can about the last Pilgrimage and exhaust all options: +5 Insights

To dispose of the Sergorodites belongings: Seek out the foundries – Smelt down the arms and armors of the dead Sergorodites: +1 Iron, +1 Bronze

In Sedarias’ hideout, you can ask him to pay for the tax gate: +1 Lyrg. Then report to him, he will give you three targets. You need a day by target.

• Assistant Magistrate Geludis Darro: Tell him you have heard rumors – Tell him the fake story - … and my scout returned with news of dead bodies – We took some weapons.
  
• Centurion Vardis Pendius: Talk to the bartender – Convince the bartender to spice up Pendius’ drinks – Continue to buy him spiced-up drink (you can use resourcefulness to ease the test).
  
• Smelter’s Collegium: Lavinus’ watering holes – Ask Skornar if he can help you the investigate the Smelter’s Collegium – Use Skornar’s help in dealing with the collegium.

Report your findings on the three suspects to Sedarias. You can tell him anything that you want in the list, it will not change a thing: +7 Insights.

When you are ready head to The Warehouse but be wary as there will be tough combat in there. So be sure that you companions get at least 6 hp. First fight: Three enemies and two allies (Sedarias included). Second fight: 4 enemies and Sedarias. Reward: +10 Insights

When you leave the city gate a Sergorodite will give you 350 supplies, so leave enough places to take it with you. To help Sedarias you will have to eliminate three abolitionist camps.

• For the first one (see location below, on the left you can see Vitrar): Make plans for an attack – Send scouts – Send in several scout – Send in a lot of fighters. You will have to fight 3 enemies – Turn right and go down the dark corridor: 150 supplies, 8 grains, 11 obsidian blades, 3 wine, 3 Ivory. The second fight is again against 3 enemies. Try to persuade Serdarias to give the slaves to you. You can choose between two tests or use your former service to Sergorod as leverage.

• For the second one: See the Embellished achievement (Skornar’s quest)
  
• For the third one sees location below. Buy two mounts. Before reaching this place get four outriders with mounts and fighters. Take your fighting crew and approach the camp – But do you remember to check what happens behind you? – You can send outriders ahead. Reduced casualties: - 1 slave, -1 workers, -2 fighters. Fight against 5 enemies but with Sergorod followers instead of your companions. Reward: 400 Supplies, 12 Grains, 2 Scrap Metal, 16 Bogweed, 2 Dwarven Gadgets, 3 Medical supplies.

When you have found, all three of them Sedarias will send you to a fourth Abolitionists camp see location below. But before going there be sur to have 4 outriders and 3 scouts. Approach the camp in formation – Send your outriders to fight them (4 required) – Lead the counterattack yourself. You will have to fight 4 enemies. Choose to send Morwen with some scouts - Have your fighters enter the fray – Did you manage to turn the tide of the battle?

I tried different combinations but every time I lost 8 fighters just before the second fight against. Stay at Javek’s side. Reward: 380 supplies. The day after you will lose 2 companions and 3 workers.

Defy the black knight: +2 Morale and a fight against Sedarias and a wounded priest of Sergorod. Sedarias can’t be moved or stunned so just hit him. When Sedarias is on the ground take care of the priest. You gain 15 slaves. If you obey the black knight: -2 Morale and you will still have to fight against Sedarias and a wounded priest of Sergorod. So, it’s a better choice to defy him.
After the fight you will be able to follow only one route. And a fight against the last pilgrimage will happen. You can’t win this fight but you have to fight till the end to finish Pilgrim of the Wasteland.

After the tutorial you can create your own Vagrus or you can skip the tutorial and begin the main storyline. You will that the main game take place 10 years later, so the cities you have visited in Pilgrim of the Wasteland might have changed.

Crew combat encounter

Conciliator
Successfully appease the foe during a crew combat encounter.
When you get a crew combat encounter choose to flee from it. Then to the right side of the screen you can give them money to increase your chance to flee. Use the button automates to give them automatically the right amount to avoid combat. If the Move On button is available then you can’t flee. It’s because the group you met isn’t aggressive so you can fight them or just pass them without doing anything.

Fight Another Day
Successfully flee from a crew combat encounter.
Same as above except don’t give them any gold. Prefer to do it with a crew combat where you get a high chance of fleeing. If the Move On button is available then you can’t flee. It’s because the group you met isn’t aggressive so you can fight them or just pass them without doing anything.

You will need 2 days to built a permanent camp. See below for the outpost location:

• 12 imbued masks,
  
• 15 potteries,
  
• 15 Linen,
  
• 25 Hides

To mine the salts effectively you will need an expert. To find him: Salum - Lakeview Square – Visit the Ratharnak outpost – Accept an invitation – Hire Bergavuor to survey your salt mining trip (40 Bross). Or you can find two other miners at the Salt Shaker inn.

Then bring him to your outpost and come back in 20 days.

After those 3 months your journal will update and you will need to bring:

• 500 Ivory
  
• 100 Timber
  
• 150 Brightkelp

Masked Achievements (Part 1)

And the Sky Full of Stars
First, you need to reach The Crystal Archives in The Sunken Tower (see Seeker achievement).
In the Crystal Archives you may find Memory Crystal of Parhassus (Random event pretty rare). When you have found it Break the seal on the Star Garden.
You will then access the Star Garden – Continue to explore until you meet with Lalitheassin – Try to stop Laletheassin – combat against 5 anomalies – A second fight against 3 anomalies and an abomination – A strong-minded test – Exhaust every option (6 insights. Reward: 6 insights, the Wand of Parhassus and the achievement)

What Lies Below
Learn the truth about the Great Machine.
For this quest explore (torch icon) areas in front of Salum to mine some salt. Explore area with bigger circles. Those are controlled by the Scythichnis Covenant. To mine there you will need permits: Salum - Covenant House – Purchase permits. Purchase at least 10 tokens. When mining salt you will meet a wounded miner’s group and a new quality will be add to your journal: Brine Mere: Unfortunate Miners. Go back to Salum – Lakeview Square – Salt Shaker – Talk to the salt miners and then ask about wounded miners. They will indicate you where they came from and a new quality will be added: Brine Mere: Decimated Camp. To see where the camp is situated see screenshot below.
Look for the camp of the dead crew on the plateau

• Bury the dead: + 5 Church of Ahskul
  
• Load up the salt the miner has abandoned: +2 Salt
  
• Scout the area: You need to take 3 companions with you (Bring Garrik if your are not a dwarf)

You can break open the pipe and then follow it, nothing bad will happen to your crew.
An easy test (Navigation, Savvy and a bonus if you are a dwarf or if you take Garrik with you).
Continue to follow the quest until you can take a look around an old miner’s camp :

• Take the lamp crystal and valuables: +4 Crystal Lamp, +1Arcane Text, +2 Ancient Tablets, Good quality tools
  
• Observe the edifice close up: If you can do everything below: +3 Insight
  
  • The runes appear to be Dwarven (Garrik or history test)
    
  • The technology and design of the structure is intriguing (need: 5 in Savvy and Engineering)
    
  • Perhaps there is magic at work here (Need: Magic sense 3, Arcanic lore 4)
• Try to search the place thoroughly: new quality added “Brine Mere: What lies Below” and someone will approach but you will get no reward, so prefer to observe the edifice close up (see above)

You can’t avoid combat even if you are friend with the Scythichnis covenant: 2 Renegade Dragonguards
Try to run down into the tunnel you will have a fight against 2 Renegade Dragonguards again.
You will meet a tall dragonkin: You can tell him that you want assurance or ask him who they are but it will not change anything. Do not surrender or you will be dead instantly.
This will start a new quest: Secret below
Escape from the tunnel with the help of Garrik and gain +1 Insight and lose 6 movement.

Go back to Salum. You will have three choices of allies. You can choose only one of them

• If you have at least 2 with Scythichnis Covenant: Covenant House – Visit the inner sanctum: Don’t ask them about a group of sickly miners of you will loose relation. Instead Report what you have found below the surface of Brine Mere. Confirm by choosing Inform the Dragon and the Archmage. Insist on helping them: + 80 Scythichnis Covenant + 5 Insight.
  
• If you have more than 0 with the Ratharnak Outpost: Lakeview Square – Visit the Ratharnak outpost – Chief Agent Welgan – Inform Welgan about what you have found below the surface of Brine Mere – Inform the chief agent – Offer your help: + 40 Ratharnak Alliance, +2 Insight
  
• If you have at least 2 in the Church of Ahskul/Church of Sergorod : Lakeview Square – Salt Shaker inn – Contact Xeshara - Report what you have found below the surface of Brine Mere – Inform the imperial spy – Agree to help : +20 Church of Ahskul and Church of Sergorod, +2 Insight

For the following I choose to take side with the Scythichnis Covenant (other path may diverge on some points) as the reward is much more interesting:

Go back to the camp of the dead crew on the plateau : visit the crevice that leads into the salt tunnels – Find your allies nearby and continue to follow the quest until have to fight against renegade dragonguards. You will be accompagnied by two allies. In the second fight you will be accompagnied by 3 allies againt 3 renegade dragonguard and 2 renegade dragonmage. After some times you will meet a third group of 3 renegade dragonguard and 1 renegade dragonmage. For the third combat you will have three allies with you. When prompted ask Garrik for help against the mage. You will gain +3 Insight after some times.

Reward at the end of the quest : 20 Salt Mining Tokens, 1 Rare Jewel, +70 Scythichnis Covenant, Dragonstone of Enchantment, +6 Insight, 6 Bross and the achievement should pop.

*bronze owl pendant(I was wondering where to find a second one)

So something weird about Vorax's meal when you finally have all ingredients: I chose reputation first time, I was bit like "72? eeeh that seems bit lame for all the work, I wonder what the riches option is" and was flabbergasted it was 320 bross, valuable treasure and masterwork weapons, then I got bonus reward including bronze pendant from lady who tells Lar's story. I didn't read dialog too much, but I had on whim tested out what the "give mercy to the thief" option gives party attitude wise(I was expecting treasure reward wasn't too great that Iw ould reload anyway) and then reloaded the scene again but this time chose dialog my character on playthrough would have picked. And I didn't get the extra reward just like on first time, because its not part of the riches reward option it seems.

So I'm not sure but seems like telling to be merciful on that scene gives extra reward surprisingly

This guide is overally really nice, but it also doesn't really delve into branching of quests. Like in renkailon's second mission, if you don't use con first time around, you get second chance to do it instead of fighting with comitus if you want to. So assuming its not nice guy playthrough, which one would be more effective opportunity to use it is kinda unclear.

[Jackdaw Mask]

Also warning on Thatmas quest: if you take too long, he will leave comitea on his own

Just to note, in pilgrims of wasteland, you can buy for cheap charm from Akshul temple that makes you fight abomination alone with it having lost hp

Celebrity ambition is 25 renown, not 40. Other than that - great guide!

Nice guide.
Need to mention another option for Yrg Propagation in Deven.
Elf Prince will help after reaching 16 loyalty with him. Which is easy 'cos he also like luxury wine and spices. Also there is one random event during exploring.
"Dwarven Compass (Eylani’s quest end - See Ever After achievement))"
- Compass you can buy in Torzag's Exploring city event. Trigger for this is amount of your bross. You need to have 100. Selling horses and beast of burden for a while is good option for having such amount

"The Voice of Hereafter
...... And because she uses magic she is able to harm spectre."
It's not magic what she use in fight, but electrical damage. And every attack which have specific type -fire (Nadir,Garrik,venari agent),electric(Finn), cold, poison, bleeding,magic -can harm (unless enemy is resistant at least in 100%points) enemies with Impervius perk.
Xavarian gambit- ”.. Your reward depends on your answer :"
There is also
No Alternative: Bloodstone

Win the game through the Knowledge Ambition.
I've done quest "For posterity", but nothing happend, what is wrong?

[stunlord]

Just a note, highest road tax is 500. Maybe it was 250 before, but it doesn't work with 250. I finally got it with avoiding a 500 bross road tax.

Not sure if you're still updating this guide... I hope so because it is extremely helpful! But RE: the white crystal quest that you obtain near Loom, it's just 1 dampsmoke per combat, for a total of 3 to avoid all combats. That might've been what you meant but when I read it originally I thought I needed to bring 9 dampsmoke if I wanted to avoid all of the combats there.
