Ensure you do not defeat Maliketh in Farum Azula before collecting the Bolt of Gransax in Leyndell Royal Capital. Advancing past Maliketh triggers capital destruction, locking you out of Legendary Armaments on that save file.
Roadmap Step 1: Main Story & Quest Prerequisites
Begin your journey by exploring Limgrave and Liurnia. Prioritize unlocking Ranni's questline early as it leads to necessary underground zones (Nokron and Lake of Rot) required for both specific endings and Legendary Spirit Ashes.
Roadmap Step 2: Cleanup & Collectibles Strategy
Systematically gather all Legendary Armaments, Sorceries, Incantations, Talismans, and Spirit Ashes. Take advantage of cloud/USB save backups before triggering major story milestones to earn multiple ending trophies in a single playthrough.
