Important Items and Learning Point Shrines

Simplified guide of important things found in game. Ranging from +stat items to important questlines and accessories.

Will update as I find things on my current playthrough.

Learning Point Shrines

Learning Point Shrines are scattered all over the world.

Learning Point Shrines give +3 Learning Points.

Learning Point Shrine 1






Learning Point Shrine 2






Learning Point Shrine 3





Learning Point Shrine 4





Learning Point Shrine 5





Learning Point Shrine 6





Learning Point Shrine 7







Learning Point Shrine 8



From the 8th Mandragora or Southeastern Root Mother, go west/southwest and look for the semi-hidden path in the water (if you have the detailed map it's MUCH easier to see). The shrine is hidden under trees across the river to the north, verrrry sneaky spot.

Basaltroot

Basaltroot are located primarily in cave systems.

Basaltroot gives +1 to strength when consumed raw or +3 when combined with a Mandragora into a potion.

Basaltroot 1





Enter the cave and go Northeast from the entrance.



Basaltroot 2





Enter the cave and keep heading East/Northeast. Eventually you will reach a wall that can be broken. This will bring you inside the tavern cellar basement with all the rats. The Basaltroot will be in the Northeastern corner near a Rock Monster.

Alternatively, you can do the Rats! quest and get here as well.



Basaltroot 3

From the same cave, go south through the water passage and into the mole hole. From there, go east towards the mole by the water. Then, go south past the 4 sleeping rock monsters and head west when the passage forks. The Basaltroot will be in the corner.



Basaltroot 4





From the mole hole in the cellar, follow the passage through the rock worm section and up into the spider nest. Head west through the spider nest and keep destroying webbed passage entrances and you will eventually find a Basaltroot on the floor in the corner. This one can be tricky in the early game due to all the spiders but if you keep dodging and attack the main webs you can stay ahead of them.



Basaltroot 5



Lobo the merchant has one for sale for 200 coins.



Basaltroot 6





Very linear cave, just kill the few moles in here and it's right at the end. You can't miss it.

Void Plant

Void Plants are primarily found around the edges of the map in the death fog areas.

Void Plant gives +1 Mind when consumed raw or +3 Mind when combined with a Mandragora into a potion.

Void Plant 1





Void Plant 2





Void Plant 3





Void Plant 4

The plant is just south of the border of the Forest Map. From where you fight the spider boss, just head south and it's a little off the edge of the map.





Void Plant 5



Requires Misty Step to access. Near the Sword in the Stone.

Cliff Lichen

Cliff Lichen are found on walls in rocky areas.

Cliff Lichen gives +1 Dexterity when consumed raw or +3 when combined with a Mandragora into a potion.

Cliff Lichen 1





Cliff Lichen 2



Aiden has one for sale for 200 coins.



Cliff Lichen 3





Cliff Lichen 4



Sneaky path hidden in the trees




Cliff Lichen 5



It's a ridiculously wide wrap around. Come in from the south east, wrap around to the north west clockwise, then once you find a big quantity of black flame, go south east through it and look for the trees hidden path. It's hard to explain, this one is a tough one.

Alternatively, come in from the north side via the Bandit ruins entrance west of Remnant Ruins. It's another wide wrap but it's another option.





Cliff Lichen 6



Lobo has one for sale for 200 coins.



Cliff Lichen 7



Where you drop down to get to the Vorago shrine past the lady who gets mad at you for picking Rustroot. Look to your right and look behind the tree, if you just head straight down hugging the wall (like MOST of us do) you will not see the Cliff Lichen because it is barely outside the fog of war. Right click to see these sneaky shenanigans!

Luminous Bass

Luminous Bass is a rare fish that spawns in specific fishing spots on the map.

Luminous Bass gives +1 Base Focus when consumed raw or +3 Base Focus when combined with a Mandragora into a potion.

Luminous Bass 1





Luminous Bass 2





Luminous Bass 3





Luminous Bass 4

Hawthorne

Hawthorne tends to grow near monuments all over the world.

Hawthorne adds +2 Max HP when consumed raw or +5 Max HP when mixed with Mandragora into a potion.

Hawthorne 1





Hawthorne 2



Guarded by a bunch of Spriggan



Hawthorne 3





Hawthorne 4





Hawthorne 5





Hawthorne 6

Humbert has a quest you can get after you finish the Talisman stuff for the kids that gives you another Hawthorne. It has to do with his garden being ransacked.

Mandragora

The Mandrake lives under the soil and will instantly kill you without ear protection if you get caught in it's scream once picked out of the ground. Just back up for a second and then move in to snatch and bonk the little bugger on the head. Listen for the singing to figure out where it is if you have trouble.

Mandragora 1





Mandragora 2



Talk to Jesko, he is selling one for 500 coins.



Mandragora 3 (optional)

This one is part of the "Man in the Moor" quest. Henrik teaches you how to catch Mandragoras and even gives you ear plugs so you don't die. What a nice guy! Let's repay him by not giving him the Mandragora we catch. More Stats vs just XP, you decide.

IF YOU DECIDE TO KEEP THIS MANDRAGORA, YOU ARE LOCKED OUT OF THE NEMETON FACTION. HENRIK CANNOT HELP YOU WITH THE VANISHED WEAPONS QUEST IN ORDER TO JOIN THEM WITHOUT GIVING HIM THE MANDRAGORA.

you can get the Optional Mandragora back if you pull out your weapon and fight him in town after you give it to him. It's a tough fight, but when you win, you can loot him for his gear which includes the Mandragora you gave.

He will be mad at you and you will need to pay 200 to forgive the crime, though.

-HunTurkey





Mandragora 4





Mandragora 5





Mandragora 6





Mandragora 7



Bombus has one in chapter 2+ for 500 coins



Mandragora 8





Mandragora - 9-infinite

This is BARELY worth mentioning but you can get mandragoras as a super rare drop from jingling purses. I didn't include this because again, it's barely worth it and not worthwhile to plan around. The average player won't save scum for days to try to get more of these but it is an option. People just keep reporting it so I'm posting this here to shut em up lol.

Signet Stones

Signet Stones are required for the Best In Slot weapons the game has to offer as well as key items for the "good" ending.

Signet Stone 1



In Boris' Chest. Sleep til 23hr and Gera will be outside smoking. Creep inside and grab the stone out of the chest.



Signet Stone 2



Talk to Jesko, he is selling one for 1500 coins.



Signet Stone 3






Go into the ruins and do the light up floor tile puzzle to get access to the loot room that has the Signet Stone in it.



Signet Stone 4

Check the 4 corner rooms of the ruin and press the hidden blocks there are bandits looking around for them as well pretty much walking right up to half of the blocks (super obvious, no need for screenshots).





Signet Stone 5



Nothing too crazy, just dodge ghosts, they won't follow.



Signet Stone 6



Just unlock the hatch in the ruin on the plateau.




Complete the "Missing" Quest to receive the Strange Relic which acts as the 7th Signet Stone.



Then, bring them all to the Ruin Raiders and you can buy the Best Weapons in the game as well as an Elixir of Concentration and an Elixir of Life.

Legendary Signet Weapons

Find and turn in all Signets to unlock the ability to purchase the Best In Slot weapons (Sorry, no sling for some reason).


Axe




Bow




Daggers




Shield




Spear




Sword

Armor Pieces

Armor Pieces are used in groups of 3 to craft Legendary Armor, there are 9 total in the game prior to entering the red tower.

When you have 3 pieces, bring them to Bardok or Chunnaic (must be a member of their faction).

Armor Piece 1



Open the hatch on the plateau.



Armor Piece 2 and 3



Push the stone on the wall behind the statue to open the stairs down. Then you need to bring your fully activated key. All Signets found/combined and activated via turning on all 7 shrines. This will open the way to the end of the Ruin's Raiders questline where you will fight 2 golems that hold armor pieces as well as Drivanius for the Nexus Helmet which is used for the good ending of the game.



Armor Piece 4 and 5



Armor pieces 4 and 5 are located in the back of the Hewer Cave in the Remnant Camp. Misty Step across the water and prepare for the hardest fight in the whole game (imo). This fight has 2 golems much like the previous one, but this time, a TON of adds that just won't stop coming. Kill the golems FAST and drop the adds even faster to even have a chance at this one. The second you pick up the Vortex Mask on the table, the door behind you seals you in and all hell breaks loose. Have fun!





Armor Piece 6 and 7



Pieces 6 and 7 are both in the Old Library. The main quest line brings you here, very hard to miss these.





Armor Piece 8



Inside the Spider Temple on the Floodplain Knoll. Part of the main quest line, just make sure to clear out the spider tunnels to find it near the spear. Clear clockwise starting from the west once you get to the main room and work your way around to find it.



Armor Piece 9



Also part of the main quest inside the Forest Primeval Temple ruins. Can't miss this one, you have to fight the Golem to progress.

Legendary Armors

3 Armor Pieces given to your faction's blacksmith will allow you to choose 1 of these armors. There are 9 Armor Pieces in the game before the Red Tower so you can get them all if you want. That said, 3 Armor Pieces CAN be attained in Chapter 1.

Light

Going to try to get a full list of the various Trinket locations. Will take some time, doing another fresh playthrough for this one.

Inside the library, part of the main quest, you'd have to deliberately ignore picking it up on the table.

Late Game Merchants (I think).




Defeat Bady for the belt.

Important Quests/Rewards

Exhaust all dialog options when chopping wood with Jendrik in the beginning of the game to get +1 Strength.

Supposedly, there is a +1 strength (40 strength required) when doing the gladiator arena quests. (unconfirmed).

+1 Strength bonus from the 10 fish for Dunja quest from Nemeton bulletin board. You gotta drink the soup at the end.

Help Humbert (in Nemeton) with his garden after it gets trashed to get a Hawthorne as a quest reward.

Seduce Bady's girl Meluna after finding the note in Bady's tent to get +1 dexterity (40 Strength required).

There are several +Max HP and +Base Focus elixirs you can buy from Merchants. The Druids in Chapter 4, depending on which faction you join have some. There is also a Dexterity potion on a shelf in a warehouse and Strength potion for sale with the Remnant Druids. Edo has both +max hp and +Base Focus elixirs once you give him all of the signets.

The beginning of the library has a second code you can input to open up a bookshelf and lead you to the Whirling Energy magic stone. The code is red, blue, pink. Thanks to MrApollo for finding this one.





My Very Own Talisman

Either way, this gets you the "Strange Relic" which is the last Signet you need for legendary weapon purchases.

This quest can start wherever Lorthiz is when he has his dreams. I've seen him in Chapter 2 in the Primeval Forest, but most of the time at the Ripper Inn.

Grab the fossil off her body and bring it back to Lorthiz



Part 2 is the Ruins Raiders tunnels. Go Northeast and look for the parent and child skeletons





Part 3 is the starting ruined town hatch that wouldn't open.




Part 4 is in the moor with the lantern in the cave




Enjoy the awesome legendary ring. Multi hard hits are best for recovering HP.

[Argrimm]

Sorry, you were right.

[BOT Vitaliy]

The bandit armor that I got from the camp northwest of the Remnant's camp is only epic rarity, and not legendary.

[Argrimm]

I have found 4th legendary armour at the bandit's camp. It's to the north-west from Remnant's camp. Past the ruins with 1 harpy further to the north past 3 strong bandits into the cave (in the triangular hut) and after killing all the inhabitants it could be found in the chest

[Snakepit Sacrifice]

You can also get another +1 DEX from Meluna, talk to her after getting the belt from defeating Bady

[DreXav]

Single most important Drova guide! Thank you.

One suggestion and a wish, is that we had all the collectibles marked on one map.

[freaky.ashes]

Got 50 jiggling pouches from a guy in a camp next to Nemeton. Can confirm that a Mandragora dropped from one of them.

[CAPTAINCHROMOSOME]

i am in act one i am trying to get to the signet stone 6 at 19:18 but i cant get there

[Malkavia]

Not sure why the legendary weapon stats disappeared but there is another guide that has those so, no real reason to fix it imo. I might just delete it.

[Malkavia]

Idk if that is still accurate, it has been some time since I've played.

[Danerol Lord]

There is only 8 mandragor for entire game? Shame...
