What to do after finishing Act 1 in No Rest for the Wicked

After beating the required bosses and reaching the end of the main story in Act 1 of No Rest for the Wicked, what can you do after finishing all the quests? Here are some things you can do before the next big update arrives.

No Rest for the Wicked: What to do after finishing Act 1

Many players online are wondering what they should do after the Servant of God quest which is the final main quest of Act 1. Seeing as No Rest for the Wicked is in Early Access there are content updates planned for the future, but what are you supposed to do after making it to the end of Act 1? Some things you can do before the next update rolls out are play the Crucible, complete building projects, take on Bounties and Challenges, and discover all the available side quests.

The Crucible

The Crucible will be unlocked for you in the masonry basement after you finish the Servant of God quest. This is a rogue-lite type of dungeon that is arduous to get through but will reward you with plenty of high-level loot.

While you can beat the Echo Knight boss in the Crucible, you’re free to keep replaying it. You just have to spend Fallen Embers to enter the Crucible in the masonry’s basement in Sacrament.

Complete building projects

Speak to Danos in Sacrament to start working on rebuilding Sacrament. It’s in a state of disrepair, and it’s your job to help supply materials to rebuild some shops, as well as shortcuts to farther places in Sacrament.

Since there are nearly a dozen projects to take care of, you have a lot of time on your hands to gather the necessary materials for builds such as Markos’ Alchemy Stand, Filmore’s Smithy, and much more. Completing these will unlock more crafting stations, as well as easier pathways to the Rookery.

Finish Bounties and Challenges

Every day and week you’ll get a few Bounties to complete, and there are larger Challenges as well. Speak to Captain Randolph in Sacrament to activate a bounty and challenge which will be noted in your Activities menu.

Bounties typically ask you to kill a certain amount of one enemy type in a specific area. Challenges will more likely ask you to collect a type of material. Once you complete a Bounty or Challenge you’ll earn yourself some loot and other nice rewards for your efforts.

Complete all side quests

Although you may not realize it, there are plenty of side quests that are easily missable in No Rest for the Wicked. As an example, The Potion Seller is only attainable if you find the hidden entrance to Iona’s Cavern in the Orban Glades.

There’s also the Innkeeper’s husband quest that has you rescue Gordon which can allow you to rebuild the Inn, and you can discover Finley’s secret shop too. There’s a lot more to discover if you keep your eyes peeled for hidden side quests.

Now that you’re taking on side content to wait until NRFTW brings their next huge content update, what does their roadmap look like for Early Access?
