  • Complete Helping Molly

    Helping Molly is the step that hands this over.

    Get it the recorded way

Part of what this needs is recorded in a form we cannot turn into something you can check, so the list above is the part we can confirm.

Other requirements
  • You need 5 × Iron Bar

    The recipe for Staff of Darkness calls for it.

What You Can Check

You do not need to work out which of these something is first — search for it and we will take it from there.

  • Items

    Anything you can pick up, buy, craft, grow or loot.

How This Tool Works

  1. Search for whatever you are trying to get, and we show every requirement the release records for that thing.
  2. Tell us which of those you have already done, and the answer narrows to the one thing still in the way.
  3. Where a requirement is not recorded clearly enough to check, we say so instead of guessing.

Not Sure What You’re Missing?

The Progression Assistant starts from where you are and tells you what to do next. This page starts from the thing you want and works backwards.
