The Bowerstone Resistance

The Bowerstone Resistance

Bowstone Industrial
Note: The houses here deteriorate really fast so they won't be good investments for now as you'll probably be spending more repairing them. Wait until you finish the sidequest called “Kidnapped” to stop this rapid deterioration. Refer to the sidequests section of this guide for the complete walkthrough of that quest.

Continue following Walter until you reach the bridge. To the left is a factory with lots of child laborers. There is a Silver Key on the second level of this factory. Steams are blocking the path and you need to activate the levers to remove the steam and access the key. Ignore the taunting of the gnome for now since you can't pull out your weapon yet. Just follow William to trigger the scene.

After the scene, you'll can't go anywhere yet without completing the current quest. The factory where the scene took place has a silver chest on the third level but that only contains 5 Slow Time Potions (which you can just buy if you really want them). Just follow the path and you should hear another gnome nearby. Check the video below to know its location. Just shoot the bastard later once you're free.

Just follow the trail for now and it will lead you to a door to the Sewers. Enter it to continue with the story.

Sewers (Bowerstone Industrial)
You should immediately see the Silver key to your immediate left but there's no way of accessing it for now since you'll need to use another entrance to reach it. For now, follow the trail to the next chamber. After the scene, check out the door to the right. It is the armory and there's a chest in it.

Just follow the trail to Page's chamber. You can explore the area for some random goodies from shelves if you want. After the conversation, you'll enter the Road to Rule.

Road to Rule
The next set of chests will introduce you to more expressions, a new spell called Force Push and upgrades for your Blacksmith, Pie Making and Lute playing skills. Grab the new expressions if you want. There's really no need to get the new spell, unless you want to complete the whole set of gauntlets and if you're after the Archmage achievement. Exit through the portal after your business.

Return to the Sanctuary to find more quests waiting for you. You should be able to do your normal stuff now. Check out the Sidequests section of this guide for the walkthroughs for the individual sidequests.

Once you've gathered enough followers by completing a few or all the other available quests, return to the resistance camp and meet up with Page.

Bowerstone Industrial
Meet up with Page and wait until you receive a new dress to use for your disguise. Equip it then check the map. Zoom in Millfields. Reaver's manor is your next destination so fast travel there.

Millfields
Follow the golden trail and head to the manor. Enter it. Keep heading to the next room and watch the scenes. You'll need to play a little game of his by entering the opened chambers and clearing it off enemies. Continue to the first chamber; don't forget to grab the Health Potion from the chest there.

After clearing the hobbe chamber, return to the main chamber and wait for the next chamber to open. Enter the hollow men chamber next. Grab the slow time potion on your way there. Like the other chamber, survive this battle to open the gates. The next chamber will pit you against mercenaries. Take out the gunners first. Be careful of the large mercs that look like Saker since they can deal a lot of damage if you're not careful. As for the next chamber, you'll be fighting Sand Furies. These are fast enemies that can close the distance between you in an instant. Equipping crowd control spells like Shock or Vortex should help in keeping them from surrounding or cornering you.

Remember that you can return to the Sanctuary anytime to change weapons or gauntlets. The last wave will require you to fight more agile enemies. These guys are dangerous up close so you may want to slow down time and use AoE spells then switch to melee when dealing with them up close. Don't hesitate to use health potions whenever you need them. Keep killing the beasts until the scene triggers.

After the battle, promise page and sign the note. You'll get your bonus guild seals for completing the quest and the portal to Road to Rule will now be open.

Road to Rule
You should have enough to purchase LV4 upgrades for your magic, ranged and weapon stats. There's also an Scary Expression Pack here that you can purchase as well but it will work well with an evil character. Grab the upgrades then exit the portal.
