As Frey wakes up and changes her clothes by putting on a Cloak inForspoken, she ventures out into Cipal, so she can figure out a way out of the city to complete Auden’s request. However, before leaving Cipal, it’s crucial that players do some stuff that will certainly help them in their journey beyond the city’s wall.
6Talk To NPCs And Gain EXP
NPC are non-playable characters that can be interacted with inForspoken. While exploring the city of Cipal and using Cuff’s scan, it’s possible to mark a few characters that can be talked to as some of them will reward Frey EXP upon completing the conversation.
Additionally,some characters will give players new informationthat wasn’t mentioned before, so it can be added to the Archive. An example of these characters are:
5Play The Partha Game To Receive Random Stat Boosts
Partha is a dice-based game from Junoon that’s made from animal bones and some sides are carved with symbols.To win the Partha game, players need to roll the dice; if it lands on a symbol, this will be a lucky day. As for what it means to the protagonist, getting a symbol from the Partha dice rewards Frey with a random boost forthe whole chapter inForspoken.

There’s a Health boost that makes her feel comforted and will continuously restore a small amount of HP when the Health bar is not full. There is also a Defense boost that makes Frey feel protected which increases her Defense and there is a Strength symbol that boosts the spell ATK, making her feel powerful.
4Craft Necessary Materials
As players progress throughchapter three inForspoken, they’ll eventually encounter a little orphan girl named Olevia who can help Frey get out of Cipal undetected. But before that, the orphan teaches Frey about Crafting and Upgrading. Additionally, Olevia gives some materials and teaches the protagonist a few recipes like how to make a Healing Draught, how to increase Medicine Pouch Capacity, and Materials Pouch Capacity.

It’s crucial to note that upon leaving the city, players will encounter many unforgiving enemies and also Mutants who will cause some heavy damage. So, using the Balm Flax given by Olevia, approach the Crafting Bench and enter the Craft option to create some much-needed Healing Draught.
3Upgrade Equipment To Strengthen Armor
Immediately after crafting some items on the Crafting Bench, Olevia shows Frey the stuff she ‘collected’ and tells her to use some of them to upgrade her equipment. Players will find a Crag Grass, a Grainstone, and a Wild Musk.
These items will help tremendously as they will upgrade some of Frey’s equipment stats like Health for the Elite Cloak and Purple Magic for the Spectra Combo Necklace.Boosting these stats can do wondersfor Frey when she’s exploring the open world full of malicious enemies.
2Collect Old Coins
Old Coins are one of the two currencies used inForspoken. Sadly,it cannot be used in chapter three as there are no merchants or traders available. But, that does not abolish the idea of collecting some coins to have an advantage when a merchant appears.
Before Frey sleeps andchanges her appearance, some Old Coins can be found on a ledge behind the hut she’s supposed to sleep in. As for the next day, head up the stairs across the plaza in the middle of the city and climb the upper railings then jump down to the lower platform to get some extra Old Coins. The location can be pinpointed if players use Cuff’s scan.
1Complete Detours To Get Unique Items
One of the first Detours (Side Quests) players will encounter isChasing the Calico CatQuest inForspoken. The cat can be found in the southern parts of the city near a river.Upon interacting with the animal, it will run away quickly and players must chase the cat before they lose sight of it.
The chase is not that difficult by any means if players manage to immediately follow the swift creature. After running around for a while, it will stop near an item that Frey can pick up. Turns out it’s a Poppet that cannot be used until later chapters. Poppets are also considered a currency so collecting them is highly vital inForspoken.The Side Quest rewards50 EXP and 11 Mana once finished.
Forspokenis now available on PS5 and PC.
