This guide aims to aid you in reaching every collectible and getting 100% completion rate for Minrathous Dock Town.
Q&A before embarking on the journey
A: As soon as possible. There’s currently a bug that prevents the player to reach some locations if they’ve completed some of the missions. Particularly “Shadows of Minrathous” which is post Neve’s first mission, and “The Returned Cultist Case” which is Neve’s final mission of her arc – these will lock 2 of the chests from ever being reached and you’ll have to reload a previous save.
Q: What else should I be worrying about?
A: Nothing really, but some of the chests will be locked behind the following quests (in no particular order):
1. The Cobbled Swan Case
2. Cornered in the Catacombs
3. A Snake Nest Deal
4. Desperate in Dock Town
5. Out of Tune
6. A Hidden Hoard
