Chapter walkthroughs from 29 October

From launch day this page grows one chapter at a time, in the order above, and every chapter section comes from our own play of the released game on a first playthrough. Each one answers the same five things: where you enter the region, the first thing worth doing there, where the bells are, which side quests expire and when, and the region’s boss, linked to its own fight page where the attacks and counters live.

Nothing is written from videos or other guides, and story beats stay out: the sections say where to go and what to do, not what happens. A chapter that is not listed below has not been played yet.

Every bossAll bosses named so far, with their fight pages. How long is it?About 25 to 30 hours per the director, eight chapters, and what you can miss. Is there a 66-day time limit?No time limit on a first playthrough, RPGFan reports from the director.
