Steam PC Demo · Opening guide

Opening route and Dagger Belt

Use the campfire, crossed boards, blue crystal monument, and shoreline wreck to follow the Steam PC Demo's opening and collect one early item.

The short route

Get the rusted sword at the campfire and strike the crossed boards until the exit clears. Look left for the blue crystal rest monument. After that, find the stairs leading toward the tower and look to their right for the small shoreline island. The Dagger Belt is beside its broken boat and hanging rope.

From campfire to shoreline item

  1. Find the campfire and get the sword

    The camp has a fire between two seated armored figures, with banners against the stone wall. Speak to the character who gives you the rusted sword before trying the blocked exit.

    Look for: the campfire and two seated figures shown above.

  2. Look for the crossed wooden boards

    At the narrow opening, crossed boards block the way. Strike them until the opening clears. If the boards react but remain in place, keep striking; Steam players discuss this camp exit.

    You are through this section when the boards no longer block the opening and you can walk through.

  3. Look left for the blue crystal monument

    Once through the board barrier, look left for the stone monument topped by a blue crystal. Interact with it to bring up the location menu.

    You have reached this rest point when the menu reads “Knight's Encampment / Isle of Neasied” and shows Save, Rest, and Leave.

  4. Find the island beside the shore

    Back on the path outside the camp, look for the stairs leading toward the tower. The island lies to the right of the stair area, as described in a Steam player route tip. At the shore, look for its sparse trees and broken wooden boat near a high stone wall.

    Look for: the broken boat on the small island, with the tall stone structure along this stretch of shore.

  5. Collect the Dagger Belt at the wreck

    Jump across to the island and move beside the broken boat. Near its angled timber and hanging rope, find the item labeled Dagger Belt and collect it.

    The item name should read “Dagger Belt”; after collection, a “Throwing Weapons” guide update appears.
