Summary

TBD

Point of No Return

The exact delineation between Act One and Act Two can be somewhat confusing for new players as entering the Shadow-Cursed Lands from either the Mountain Pass or the Underdark will trigger an alert reminding the player to tie up any loose ends before proceeding. Despite this, the player will still able to return to the Wilderness and complete the majority of lingering quests at any point. The point of no return in Act Two takes place much later, inside the Gauntlet of Shar. Another alert will trigger, and after this point it becomes impossible to return to the Wilderness, all of the Wilderness waypoints will be inaccessible, and all incomplete quests from the Wilderness will automatically close.
