Tips
- All camp setup tasks can be completed in any order — prioritize easier ones to flow
- Mallet and pickaxe are located at camp, grab them before starting the physical tasks
- Each mallet strike hits once — you need three successful hits per stake for four stakes total
- Cooking ingredients are lying on tables and inside supply crates around camp
- Natural swap ingredients if you lack exact recipe ingredients — the game accepts alternatives
- For House of Healing infiltration, roof method is fastest, guard disguise is safest
- Purchasing St. Halssius Visitor Pass is expensive but grants legitimate entry (no stealth needed)
