1. Retrieve Andrei's memento: the ring is correct. 2. Decide whether to follow the ritual or attack. 3. Resolve Nora's danger; a hidden/inaction option can enter Nora's death outcome. 4. Meet Ocha by the river and advise what she should do next.
- Recommended
- Give Ocha Andrei's ring and follow the ritual for the fullest documented branch. Treat the later Nora and river choices as conditional until their exact combinations are verified.
- Later impact
- Ocha has two broad reported futures, but the available river dialogue depends on whether Andrei died through the spell or in combat.

PC Gamer reports two broad Ocha futures, with dialogue availability influenced by whether Andrei died by the spell or in combat. Ocha's name can later help Coen enter the Uriashi settlement during Lacra's Song of the Mountain, even if Ocha does not return there. The reported quest reward is the Broad Swing Swordmastery manual.

Material still needed
The searchable source excerpt does not expose every exact river dialogue line or the full Nora rescue sequence. Before publishing a complete choice table, verify the four combinations in separate saves: spell/combat × stay/leave. Mark any claim that Ocha becomes a trainer as unconfirmed; PC Gamer explicitly could not confirm it.
This guide draws on the sources listed in the article. Uncertain claims and limits are explained in the text.
