Order of quests / maps

[seeliewight]

If we follow the game as per the walkthrough, we will do Witch Woods, then Outer World and then the rest of the quests.

I found that it is possible, and maybe desirable to do the Peak of Heroes before Outer World. To do this, exit out of Witch Woods before completing the quest (I did it before the Manor), and talk to Kevin the Explorer.

It is difficult, and needs a few attempts, but the reward is very good - I chose the "Blessed State" spell, and this makes things easier (I'm in Outer World, just finished the path of blood). Also, very good to level up. The Griphin is a pain though ...

I'm thinking it may be possible to do other areas as well before Outer World.
