Awesome, thanks. I'll pin the thread. I think there should be also a finale for the 3rd quest but I guess it's unmissable after the 18th point.

Hey!

Is it possible to activate these quests, even though my protagonist is not a Vagrant?

(Or actually I would just like to do the 2 first one's)

With IATweak installed,am I able to chanllenge the quest "The Ancient Secret of Suldanesselar"?
My protagonist is not a vagrant but Valygar is.

I tried but I cannot enter the room in Tree of Life map, it prompts "you don't have the required wardstone".
I do have magic pull and Ruby of God in my inventory and finished the second quest "The Good, The Bad & the Ugly".

You cannot. The main protagonist needs to be a Vagrant.
There are still specific checks in the script to open the door, which makes sense because later comes at least one fight in which your main protagonist is on his/her own and needs to be able to summon a Swanmay.
