This guide covers the researched puzzle stops. Some connecting exploration and item pickups are still being documented.
Commonly missed
- The silver box picked up early only opens with a horseshoe found much later, so it sits in the inventory for a long time.
- A second object that looks like a silver box is really a hammer head, and its handle also turns up much later.
- An unanswered player question asks how to get rid of the snake in the cellar.
