Hidden shop left of boss needs to be warped to.
CHAPTER 19X
Stillness
Defeat Boss or Talk to Vic
Two options for clearing this.​​
The boss is fairly strong and Jonas will face him alone (at least initially). You can stand down by talking to Vic if it is too much. This is a valid moral option and carries no penalty. Vic will die (but he will leave the Black Fang otherwise).
Chadwick can visit the lower village for Eclipse and to bring Hannah to the map.
Luke can visit the same village for Hannah to join the map, but no eclipse.
The shop on the left sells promotion items.
Visit the bar on the right for a silly scene (if Achilles, Elton, and Batta are alive). Otherwise Niime talks to you.

Mid top village for a talk with Jaffar, no rewards.​
Jolene - Benandanti will join if Achilles is alive.
CHAPTER 20
Captis Essentia
Defeat Boss or Talk to Vaida
This chapter is going to be a nightmare to explain. It's simple to play but there is a ton going on behind the scenes. There are three different intros:
If you did not complete 8x or 19x, Elton and Cryptus die.​
If you completed 8x but not 19x, only Vic dies.
If 4x and 19x were completed, Vic is already gone and the White Fang confrontation with William is avoided. In this route Jonas will receive his personal House Cornwell sword Wingserpent.
Z can approach the Bern forces and they will all stand down once the commander can see him.
Defeating the Sacaean leader will make all Lycians green.
Defeating the Lycian leader will make all Sacaeans green.
Advancing south spawns more Lycians. Advancing east spawns Sacaeans.
Vaida is extremely strong and has her cursed spear. You can simply talk to her to get her to stand down. You can use Z, M, Paul, Chadwick, or Brunnya.
Jonas and Brunnya can talk. No rewards, just characterization.
Venom can talk to Vaida but the chapter doesn't end. Just characterization.
If the boss of 19x was killed, Chadwick can talk to Z for a personal weapon: Erymanthus (a powerful lance).

Defeat Four Bosses
Before starting, little tip: Clodagh, Maeve, Achilles, Leif, Jolene, and Niime don't get turned to stone. Everyone else does.
This map is absolutely massive, but you don't need to cover the whole thing. Just go clockwise around the shrine.
