Getting lost in Outward is almost a rite of passage for new players. With its sprawling regions, dense fog, and maze-like pathways, it’s easy to find yourself disoriented. This guide will help you navigate every region with confidence by focusing on key landmarks, paths, and tips to ensure you always know where you are.
General Navigation Tips for All Regions
