The Scorpionlord and the Stained Jade Gourd

The Scorpionlord boss is located on the roof of a hut near the Bounds of Deity’s Abode. Ascend the stairs and break the jars to initiate the boss fight.

Ensure to fight the Scorpionlord before confronting Duskveil to avoid missing the journal entry and gourd.

- Trapped inside a cocoon on the path to the Cliff of Oblivion Keeper’s Shrine

Old Man's Quest

The final missable involves the Old Man’s Quest. Players must speak to the bearded old man in every chapter and exhaust his dialogue. Failing to do so will require a replay in New Game+ to complete this quest.
