Welcome to my Portuguese storyline guide. The most complete, update and detailed (NPC by NPC) portuguese guide.
Would you like to make a contribution to our UWO community? Why not become my patron?
The main storyline allows you to experience the age of exploration. Its events, struggles and accomplishments.
Note: I have kept spoilers at a minimum by not including the dialogs (Which you might otherwise accidentally read / ruining the story)
If you are stuck, revisit NPC by NPC to find which dialog / action you missed. Other tips:
- Sometimes you can find key NPC in the mini map.
- Sometimes you need to ask the right question so the story advances.
- Sometimes you need a certain amount of fame for a new chapter to start.
- Sometimes you need to sail a few days before a new chapter to starts.
