Do not miss

Protect the two missable trophies

These choices cannot be repaired on the same save. Stop and check the warning before advancing the related quest.

Give the Astrologer a real gold-star Book Missable When his combined quest asks for a Book, craft one or combine a purchased Hard cover with a gold-star Chapter. Do not hand over Research Obsidian, the Stranger Sins substitute. It skips the follow-up and permanently locks the trophy. Trophy: Best seller
Tell the Inquisitor “About Gerry” Missable One week after returning the three dark organs, choose this evidence option when he asks for more. The conversation is a one-time choice. Gerry remains safe, so there is no downside. Trophy: He trusted you…
