ACT1 MAIN AREA:

Ruins ~ where you get Withers (right side of the crash)

Druid Grove ~ 2 areas in here

Then there's a secret entrance to a cave under the grove close to the Grove's jail.

Harpies northeast side accessible from the Grove Circle where they are channeling their spell.

Owl Bear Cave ~ but i decided to kill the followers of the Absolute instead. Owl Bear is protecting a baby. (a little southwest of the Grove I think)

Blighted Village (west of the Grove)

Goblin Fight on the village

Well that leads to big Spider boss (pickup the Gem)

Go into one of the basement to talk to the mirror and pickup the Book of Thay (use gem to open it)

Windmill Fight to release Mr. Gnome.

Ogre encounter (recruit them or fight them)

Help or fight the mercenaries protecting the shipment. It is up to you.

Slay Karlach Quest (east of Missing Shipments)

Save the people and don't fight them. If you rescue the woman, she gives you good Lightning Charge gear.

From west of the burning village, there is a secret entrance to the Zhentarim Mercenary hideout.

Zhentarim Hideout

I shopped then fought them. There's lots of loots here.

The elevator takes you to Underdark, but you can just not go yet.

Goblin Camp (Portal back to Blighted Village and head further West)

I shopped, get branded, befriended Goblins

For perma buffs, save VOLO. And get whipped by the BDSM dude.

I particularly lured Minthara to the Grove, long rested by the gate, and experienced the LOTR fight from the front gate of the Grove. AWESOME FIGHT HERE!!! MY FAVE!! Then party afterwards. Also, Halsin appears!

Went back to the Goblin camp to clean up all the remaining Goblins.

There's a path in here from Priestess Gus? room to the Underdark.

Don't go in yet. LOL.

Southwest of Blighted Village is the path to Ethel's Shack.

Explore the southern eastern parts of this area so you can get to the Old Druid Temples (good items and fight here).

Now head West to Ethel's. Do what you want here.
