Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous – Enhanced Edition: Spoiler-Full Visual Guide with Checklist (Crafting/Quests/Secret Ending)

This guide is mainly created to keep track of the easily-missable content that’s both meaningful from a gameplay and story perspective, not for obvious things which are kept in the quest log.
Best used by creating a folder for yourself at the start of a playthrough, then putting in either a text file or 5 text files (1 per chapter) as well as saving copies of the Visual Guide images, then as you progress you remove things from the text files in notepad and from the images with your chosen image editor (or just one of those, whichever you find most convenient).

This guide is not extremely comprehensive, because the game is huge in content, however I made sure to include important information regarding these aspects:
1. Storyteller notes (usually marked as EN – Elven Notes)
2. Storyteller relics, and all the crafting components required for crafting them.
3. All the checks and details regarding the prerequisites for the Secret Ending, and when they appear (summarized in Chapter 5)
4. World Map areas, and the triggers for unlocking them (including the triggers for them in Drezen Events and road events)
5. Related to World Map areas, the triggers required to progress Companion Quests
6. Maps or descriptions for important loot and puzzles of certain dungeons, including an Enigma speedrun guide in Chapter 5 (included in the images)

What this guide doesn’t include:
1. Detailed information on Companion progression – especially important for characters like Wenduag, whose triggers are very complicated. I only mention the world map events required for unlocking the related areas. I recommend using the Neoseeker guide for those:
https://www.neoseeker.com/pathfinder-wrath-of-the-righteous/guides/Companion_Endings

2. List of all unique items and permanent bonuses – there’s too many of them to list, especially with all the books offering permanent bonuses. If you’re curious about any unique items, I recommend the neoseeker guide as well:
https://www.neoseeker.com/pathfinder-wrath-of-the-righteous/guides/Unique_Items
and for the permanent bonuses, there is a separate, helpful page
https://www.neoseeker.com/pathfinder-wrath-of-the-righteous/Permanent_Bonuses

3. List of Crusade Relics which you gain from killing world map enemies and researching with Diplomacy Decrees – there’s a very good guide for those available on Steam:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2608364853

4. Guide to playing the Crusade Mode – I might make a separate guide for it someday because I haven’t found a good one myself when playing the game first time.

5. Secrets of Creation puzzle guide: readily available online, just search the quest name.

The images even after compression ended up too big to fit in a Steam guide, so here are the links:

Make yourself a copy of each list per chapter and delete the things you already did for simplicity.
If you’re planning to go LEGEND of SWARM paths, feel free to delete all SECRET ENDING entries preemptively – inaccessible in these paths.
