The Veil Quests
The story questline that teaches the map and unlocks progression systems — plus the side quests worth grabbing.
The main quest is the game's best tutorial: it teaches the map, introduces NPCs and unlocks progression systems and waypoints. The developers confirmed the Ancient Bones and Cambion quests gained waypoint markers in Patch 3, and ancient bone spawns were increased 50%.
Ancient Bones — the early main quest
- What it asks: the early questline worked start to finish in under two minutes by creators — an intro quest around the nocturnal stalker Ancient Bones.
- Where players get stuck: finding the bones themselves — spawns were +50% boosted in Patch 3 to fix exactly this.
- Roadmap: the developers announced a rework of this questline.
Other documented quests
| Quest | Type | Reward / notes |

| Cambion quest | Early quest | Gained waypoint markers in Patch 3 |
| Disease Era questline | Era main quest | Every step from first kills to the era's mega boss (Festering Wound); clears the era and opens the Pale |
Era structure
The story runs in eras. Disease Era shipped complete and ends at the Festering Wound in the Maw of Decay. The developers confirmed the Sanguine Era shipped half-finished at launch with its finalization coming in a later update; how much content exists after era 3 depends on how the release performs.
The deepest content
Past the Disease Era, the world opens into the Pale — home to the casting Mastery trainer by the Aether Globe and the deepest boss in the current build, the Cell of Life (weapons guide for Mastery; bosses for the roster).
