The Birth of a Hero
Your first mission is to collect the equipment from the chest located next to the wagon, which will also serve you as a place where you can sleep. In the chest you will find some useful stuff: weapons (a sword and a crossbow), some elixirs, a shovel, and a collar with which we can, for example, change the name of our dog. After collecting everything go back to Theresa. Before doing so you can sleep in the house to collect a special bonus, given by every estate. Theresa will be waiting for you by the entrance to the gypsy camp.
She will give you the Bower Lake Tomb Seal, to which you must go. It is located in the middle of the lake - it's hard to miss. Of course you will have to swim to it. While following the glowing trail, your dog will find something. When you will be in the right spot, there will be an icon on the gestures panel, which will allow you to take out your shovel and dig up the treasure. You will find a rubber ball, that you can throw, and your dog will fetch it. A little further, behind the ruined pillars, the dog will find a treasure chest. After getting to the tomb use the Seal, unblock the door and get inside.
You have to find The Chamber of Fate, so just follow the trail. You will encounter your first obstacle - a hole. Before you jump, calm your dog (give him a snack, cheer) because he's quite afraid. Theresa's voice will assure you that the jump is absolutely safe. Get to the shore and head forward. You will bump into your first enemies - giant beetles. Kill them with your sword or shoot with a ranged weapon.
You will arrive at a closed gate. To open it, shoot the magical sphere that is floating in the air right above the entrance - the gate will open. On your left there is a second gate (you can open it by just pressing (A)), with a treasure chest behind. A couple steps behind the main gate there is a path to the left, with another chest at the end. Following the trail, you will encounter some more beetles. In the flooded part of the cave, you will find two skeletons (on the left and right side). You can search them, but you will only find a letter. Following the trail for a while, you will get to another door. In order to open it, you have to: shoot the magical sphere, hit it with a sword and shoot it once more. If you do all of this in the right moment, you will be able to enter the corridor.
After you arrive at a bifurcation at the center of which there is a bookshelf (search it), you can head left - there you will find some other books and two treasure chests. By following the trail you will finally reach the Chamber of Fate. After hearing out what Theresa has to say, step into the lightened circle.
You will become stronger, gain the ability to use magic. You will be able to buy skills divided into three main groups: Strength, Skill, Will. You can access then through the main menu, and the Abilities menu. Buy a spell, for the beginning I'd recommend those that do the most damage, for example Shock, Inferno or Blades (basically one of the first two, they will come in handy in the future). Just remember, that the final choice is up to you. After the shopping walk to the magical sphere that is glowing red, and use a spell on it (B). Teleport to the Bower Lake. You will have to face a bigger than before group of giant beetles. In this case it would be wise to make use of the spell you have just learnt, for quicker extermination.
