Chapter route, step by step
CalculatedOur recommended order through Fallen Village, Lantern by Lantern: what sits near each one, where the side quests start and how to prepare for the boss. Distances are straight-line metres from the map data.
- Start at Fields (#301). A Ferrofluid Flask Power Upgrade chest is 30 m away and the Volatile End Amber chest about 84 m. The Letter with a Drawing (36 m) starts The Scarecrow — its sketch shows a shed with a crow above it.
- Move into the village and light Marketplace (#302). The Blunderbuss altar is 30 m from the Lantern. Pick up the Weathered Key (38 m), one of Lullaby's two items, and the Storage Key (121 m). Warrior's Fury is in a chest about 104 m out, with another Flask Power Upgrade chest at 82 m.
- You can't cross the stream yet (journal step 2). The grapple ability is granted near Orchard (#303): light it, open the Glass Soldier chest 11 m away, then use the new power to cross (journal step 3).
- The Iron Marshall waits about 47 m from Orchard: 2,400 Health, 800 Posture, and only 1 of his 8 attacks is unblockable, so blocking and parrying carry this fight. He resists explosives by 30% and Ignite build-up by 50% — rely on your blade. Reward: 7,000 Catalysts and Ultima Ratio Regum.
- Finish at Path of Fire (#304, internally 'BurningVillage'): an Empty Ferrofluid Flask chest (36 m) and two Epic Catalyst Clots are close by. Find Louis to end the chapter (journal step 4).
Tips & missables
When you find Louis you choose 'Go together.' or 'Stay.'. Both end the chapter; the files only record whether Louis travels to the hideout with you or stays in the village — neither option carries a reward.
Lullaby pays Tomorrow's Promise and 1,500 Catalysts. The same Amber also comes from Till Death (Cursed Hollow) and a chest in the Fortress, so it isn't a one-off, but Lullaby is the earliest copy.
Fallen Village keeps fast travel: nothing here is missable.

SpoilerShow all 4 journal steps
- 1
James asked me to find his comrade, Louis, who had gone to a nearby village and never returned. I should try to locate him.
- 2
I cannot hope to cross to the other side of the stream; I must turn back and devise some way to get across.
- 3
Now that I possess this new power, I should be able to cross to the other side of the stream. I must return there.
- 4Final entry
I managed to find Louis; but to my surprise, he was not particularly grateful. Perhaps he'll be more talkative back at the hideout.
