The Worst Guide Ever
I’m 99% sure this is a complete and comprehensive (while insanely primitive) list of every single action you have to complete to get every single npc’s questline fully completed while accounting for any weird softlocking and assuming that your goal is to repeat this on more than one NG cycle. This is not well done. This is not enjoyable. But it does what it’s supposed to do. If it doesn’t, please stone me to death in the comments as I have failed as both a DS3 player and a human being. Enjoy. 👍
Edit: I can’t link the file itself but here’s what the markdown is if anyone wants to copy/paste.
