Through the snow

Go forward, to the right and watch the cutscene. Talk to Kirsha, go together to the inn and talk to the innkeeper.

First duel

Inside the house, talk to Kirsha, go outside, talk to the priest, merchant and servant to complete the additional quest "The Inn". We get 15 points of honor, which will increase Yuri's level. For each level you get a development point. With the help of development points you can open the boxes for amulets (rhombus) or artifacts (circle).

Talk to Kirsha outside and fight a duel. Talk to the Poles. We learn about the mercy and wrath system. It affects Yuri's character, but the plot will remain the same. So we choose the phrases at our discretion. Defeat the Poles and talk to Kirsha.

The first day in Kruczyny's manor

You can go around the manor, use intuition, find a magpie in the far right part, which will lead us to the chest. Or go straight to the chest to get a small dexterity potion that slightly speeds up the dodge recovery time by 15 seconds. Talk to Grigory, fight, get 150 experience points and the Tsar's Golden Artifact (Ratnik - an enemy with full health will take much more damage from Yuri's light attack). Put a development point into the round slot of the Ratnik branch to install this artifact. Each branch has two round slots, and for each artifact category you will have 5 artifacts to choose from. That is, only two of the five will work, but they can be swapped freely. Drinking water from a well or charka will restore your health. All such places will be marked on the map.

Communicate with Prokhor. If you wish, do the additional quest "Prokhor's request". Just talk to everyone, decide whether to cover the stableman in front of Prokhor or not. Earn 300 experience points.

Talk to Grigory after Prokhor. Night will fall. Crouch down and visit three places to overhear the conversation. We go to Grigori. We decide whether to tell the truth or cover up for the servants. Either way we get 100 experience points. Near Kruchina's house we talk to Alyonushka, inside - with Nastya and the owner. We leave the territory of the estate.

Arrival in Nizhny Novgorod

If you go left along the piers, you can find a gatehouse (changes the time of day, you can also change your image) and a chest behind the last pier with a serpentine amulet that gives 15% health. Go outside the gate, follow the marker and talk to Khariton. Go outside. Earn 100 experience points.

Defense against brigands

At the market square talk to Filatov and get the artifact "Yamshchik's Glove". At the first opportunity unlock the round slot of the "Travel" branch. The artifact will highlight forty nearby. Follow the marker, kill the enemies and go back to Filatov.

First go to the exclamation mark on the upper left to pass the additional quest "Robbers' Raid". Defeat all the enemies inside the cave and leave it to get the reward (amulet, experience).

Go to the south, talk to Minin and his voivode in the camp. Unlock the Sagittarius class. We get a red suit, a white horse, new equipment. Go to the Sagittarius, attack the scarecrow. We get the amulet of Alatyr, which increases damage.

For a good cause

Talk to Minin and go to the village at the bottom of the location. Talk to Kalashnikov and Mosin. Talk to Kalashnikov again, go to the specified yard and at the end there is a chest with compromise. Show it to Mosin. There is also a magpie in the village. Chase her until she leads to the chest. Inside we find the artifact "Tamga of Khan" (the horse is constantly galloping at maximum speed).

Go to Degtyaryov's warehouse, go back down and find a guardhouse on the right (a small wooden tent camouflaged with branches). We wait until evening, kill brigands, wait in the gatehouse until morning and talk to Degtyaryov.

Talk to Minin, visit the village to the west and drink water. Talk to the headman, go to the marked place where the guardhouse is. Wait for the evening, kill two brigands, deal with the third and interrogate. Nearby appears the entrance point to the cave. Go inside. Do not go into the corridors marked with a "cross", otherwise we will fall into a trap. Memorize the path. Kill two enemies, go to the third. If necessary, heal. Go to the right and find four more enemies. After defeating all of them, we leave the cave the same way.

Tools for the militia

Go to Minin, who will send us in pursuit. Leave the location in the specified place. We need to catch up with the wagon with gold.
