Quest Description

The very first steps into your journey into Ravendawn are taken here in the first of three "tutorial" quests. You will get your bearings by being taught the basics of controlling your character and learning the user interface (UI).

Quest Progression

Mom just called... What does she want?

You wake up in your house in Lyderia without a profession, as you're still a young character. Use your arrow keys or WASD keys to move around.

Press the F key while standing next to the door, or right click the door to open it. Then, go downstairs by walking onto the stairs tile.

Talk with Mom.

Talk to your mother; today is your birthday, and she's preparing a great surprise for you. She asks you to pick up your present from the old blacksmith. Follow the arrows to the blacksmith, talk to him, and he will give you your new weapon (depending on your initial archetype choice).

Go out the front door and turn south to the neighbor's shop.

After talking with Mom, proceed through the door out of the house to the courtyard. Follow the golden arrows east to the well, then south toward Artisan's workshop. Interact with him to talk.

You will receive the weapon(s) of the starting archetype you chose when you created your character.

Return Home

After speaking with Artisan, go back north toward the well and west back toward your house.

Talk with Dad.

You will see Dad standing near a tree in the field, on the other side of the fence. Talk with him.

Equip the new weapon.

You'll see a prompt appear on the bottom to press I or click the icon that resembles a bag/backpack. This will open your inventory. Once you have, you'll see the item(s) you received for your archetype. Right-click the item(s) to equip to your character.

Attack the scarecrow.

You can close the inventory by pressing escape or clicking the X button in the upper right corner of the inventory window. Note that your character has changed appearance to reflect the weapon(s) you equipped.

Move yourself north to the scarecrow, you'll have a prompt to either press Tab to target it, or you can right-click it. This is teaching you how to target enemies in the game. Your character will automatically start attacking the scarecrow with the weapon(s) you've equipped.

Talk with Dad.

After three auto-attacks, worth 1 damage each, you'll be prompted to return to Dad. Talk with him again. You'll discuss your potential future with combat and how much you'll need to train.

Talk with Mom.

Proceed back inside to talk with Mom, still standing at the stove. Proud of you, her child hero, she has instructed you to go outside and harvest some strawberries from the garden.

Gather how many strawberries you want from the garden boxes.

Move outside of the house, directly south after leaving the door. Follow the golden arrows to the highlighted boxes.

Again you'll see an instructional prompt telling you to press F or right-click the plants in order to take the fruit from them. This is to teach you how to harvest things from your lands in-game. Each time you harvest, you will receive Strawberry.

Give the strawberries to Mom.

Go back inside, where Dad has walked to, and talk with your Mom. She will take the berries you collected and put them on your new cake, which she gives to you. Happy birthday!

Eat the birthday cake.

You know what to do, eat the cake you were given!

Open your inventory with I or clicking the bag icon. You'll find the birthday cake on the Quest tab. Right click it to eat it.

Talk to dad.

Beetles have attacked the garden. Speak with Dad, and he will charge you with your first duty as a hero -- Fighting the invasive beetles.

Follow Dad to the crops.

Dad will walk out of the house and stop north of the tree near the gate. Without a word, he expects you to now deal with the dangers.

Deal with the beetles.

This is the real combat tutorial, as the beetles will fight back and also move around. Just like you did with the scarecrow, either Tab or right-click to target the Beetle. Your character will use the weapon(s) you equipped earlier to auto-attack the creatures.

Talk to Dad.

Dad will be very happy to see your progress after defeating the beetles and congratulate you.

Spend the skill point by learning a new skill.

Congratulations on your level up! Once you finish talking with Dad, you'll see a "Legacy level up" appear with some new story quests unlocked. Your character will have a golden set of wings appear briefly, signifying that you've achieved level 1.

Immediately you'll see that you can press K or click the "tree" symbol in your bar to open the Skill Tree. The skills you are able to learn will be at the top. You can select one, and you'll be prompted if you're sure you'd like to learn this ability. Click yes, when you're sure, and close the menu.

Try out the new skill on the scarecrow.

You'll see that the new skill you've just learned will be added to the first spot of your action bar, at the bottom of the screen.

Target the scarecrow again, this time pressing 1. You'll notice that your character is auto-attacking just as it did previously, but now you're also using an active skill against it. When you've used the skill, you'll see that a timer appears over the skill, signifying that it's on cool-down, meaning it can't be used again until the time has run out.

After three active attacks against the scarecrow, you'll have destroyed it completely!

Talk with Dad again.

Dad was dumbfounded with your immense power and decides that it's time to give you an additional gift - a compass. This will serve as your quest tracker in the future of the game.

Use the compass to uncover Bandit's whereabouts.

After collecting the compass from Dad (not an item you actually receive, as it's just unlocking a feature of the game for you), you'll be prompted to click the "location pin" next to the Quest Log to the right of the screen. When you click it, you'll see a map of the area appear, as well as a yellow circle that signifies where Bandit is located.

The map is interactive and will allow you to zoom in and out, as well as dragging it around to see your surroundings. Press M to access it again at a later time.

Talk with the village lookout.

As you approach Bandit's location, you'll see Village Lookout, the village lookout, standing with him. Speak with Village Lookout, who is keeping Bandit company at the gate leading out of town. As you speak with him, you'll try to convince Village Lookout to let you out "to walk Bandit," unsuccessfully.

Congratulations on level 2, at the end of the conversation!

Go back home with Bandit.

Bandit is now following you at a distance and will go where ever your character goes. Bring him back home, the direction you came.

Talk with Dad.

Now that you've fetched Bandit, Dad expresses that there are still things to be done for the day despite it being your birthday. This concludes this quest and will take you to a short cutscene showing the hard working people of Lyderia.
