Early chapters: Battlefield to Caverns

Revival introduces combat and ends with a General Lothaire encounter you are meant to lose. Regroup moves through the Valley of Ashes to the Quarry and the Abandoned Church hub, where the real Lothaire fight takes place. Rendezvous covers the Fallen Village and The Iron Marshall, then Dark Descent drops into the Caverns, the Old Mine and the Sphinx arena.

Most early side quests start here, including An Unheard Farewell, The Emissary and The Scarecrow. Pick up the pistol in Regroup before the Lothaire rematch, and grab the Mining Shaft Key in the Old Mine for a shortcut and a Ferrofluid upgrade.

Middle chapters: Vale of Wrath to the University

Crime takes you across the Vale of Wrath to Slaughtermill, and Punishment continues into the flooded Cursed Hollow and the fight with Anna, the Bride. Witch Hunt is the only chapter with two main bosses, Justicar Aurelius and Experiment 83. Blasphemy spans the City of Orphans streets, sewers and the University before The Orphan.

The Vale of Wrath, Cursed Hollow and City of Orphans hold most of the side quests, so these chapters take the longest if you clear optional content.

Final chapters and the point of no return

In Ruins climbs the Fortress to Nephtis Superioris. Shackled is spent inside Napoleon’s Prison, where Lanterns are not fast-travel points and The Choir is the only missable side quest. Reflection returns to the Salt Mine caves and the Ancient Lair for the final boss, The Entity.

Finish the Fortress Oathbound duel before climbing the High Tower, because guides warn that fast travel is unavailable after that point.

Why the First Update mentions Chapter 12

The official October 16 patch notes fix a progression blocker on Chapter 12, while walkthrough sites stop at Chapter XI. MetaBot’s launch-build data lists Entropy, the area of the final fight, as a twelfth region without a chapter name, which may explain the difference. Guide sites also disagree on a few chapter titles, so check the Quests menu in your own game if a name does not match.
