Show Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Talk to Diego at the exchange platform and go through every dialogue option. Ask him how to join the Old Camp.
  2. 2
    Speak to Thorus at the castle gate. Thorus sends the hero back to Diego, who explains the vote process and points the hero into the outer ring.
  3. 3
    Ask Diego for trainer recommendations - he names Fingers for thievery. Learning Lockpicking or Pickpocket from Fingers earns his vote (+3 points, optional).
  4. 4
    Go to Scatty's arena. Challenge Kirgo (easiest) or Kharim (harder). A Kirgo win is +2, a Kharim win +5, a Kharim loss still counts +2, a Kirgo loss costs -1. Sharing a beer with Kirgo before the fight reveals a fragment of the hero's own past.
  5. 5
    Do Whistler's sword errand: Whistler is estranged from Fisk and asks the hero to buy a specific ornamented short sword for him (100 ore handed over). At Fisk, ask for the ornamented sword directly (not through the trade menu) - he offers it for 110 ore. Do NOT mention Whistler, or Fisk refuses to sell. Short the 10 ore by going back to Whistler for more. Delivering the sword to Whistler is +3; absconding with his 100 ore is +2 (Fisk's respect). Do not dawdle for days.
  6. 6
    Complete the full Rezept der Sekte for Dexter (+5) and the Verschwundener Gardist arc for Sly (+4).
  7. 7
    Complete Neuer Hehler für Fisk by setting Sharky up as Fisk's new supplier (+5).
  8. 8
    Optional: drive Mordrag out of the Old Camp (+5) or refuse the run and lose the points (-5).
  9. 9
    Finish the Prüfung des Vertrauens - this counts separately and is mandatory regardless of the point vote.
  10. 10
    Ask Diego how the hero's standing looks - he reports the current point total. With 16+ points and the Trial done, Diego sends the hero up to the castle.
  11. 11
    Raven stops the hero briefly at the castle gate, then leads him to Gomez in the throne room.
  12. 12
    Tell Gomez about the hero's contacts in the other camps - select every camp except Y'Berion's Brotherhood in the dialogue. Gomez is satisfied and sworn-in follows.
  13. 13
    Raven hands over the shadow armour after the audience. +2450 XP total.

Every new arrival in the Old Camp has to earn the right to wear the shadow's cloak. Diego runs the hero through a layered process: the Trial of Trust in the Old Mine proves loyalty in action, a round of errands in the outer ring earns the camp's good word, and a level-five minimum keeps the door shut on anyone who has not yet proven he survives the Colony at all. Pass the vote and Raven walks the hero to Gomez's throne room; fail and the Old Camp stays a landlord, never a faction.
