: Look for stone or wood icons on the map to target specific resources you need for base building.

: Trade Eye of Witness items (from defeating mini-bosses in revisited areas) or complete NPC quests to get shards for permanent player fleeces.

: Start with simple berry meals, but move toward better recipes using fish or meat. Unlock traits like Grass Eater or Cannibal to remove negative faith penalties for certain foods.

To reach 100% completion, you will need to hunt for specific relics and locations.

: Focus on unlocking the Stone Mine and Lumber Yard early through Divine Inspiration so you don't run out of building materials. 2. Follower Care & Maintenance Happy followers work faster and generate more devotion.
