The Quest - Celtic Rift

The Quest - Celtic Rift is an expansion pack that adds a new hand-drawn open-world region and fresh adventures to the classic grid-based, turn-based role-playing experience. Players who own The Quest can enable this expansion to sail to the remote Islands of Lubdan, answer King Mersant’s urgent summons, and discover why they were called to the distant land of Loegria. The expansion can also be played as a standalone title, offering exploration and combat for newcomers. Expect tough encounters — save often and consider reaching around level 15 before tackling the main challenges.

Key Features

⭐ Hand-drawn open world with new locations and story content centered on the Islands of Lubdan.

⭐ Old-school grid-based movement combined with turn-based combat for tactical encounters.

⭐ The Quest - Celtic Rift can be added to the base game or run as a standalone release, giving flexible play options.

⭐ In-game access from Matras harbor: speak to captain Verra and select "Celtic Rift" as your destination to enter the new areas.

Advantages

✅ Expands the original game's world with new quests, NPCs, and exploration possibilities in Loegria.

✅ Classic RPG mechanics will appeal to fans of strategic, turn-based combat and grid movement.

✅ Can be experienced as a standalone, so new players don’t need prior progress to join the adventure.

✅ Clear guidance on access and recommended progression (around level 15) helps players prepare for a challenging campaign.

Disadvantages

❎ The expansion can be difficult and unforgiving — characters can die, so multiple save files are strongly recommended.

❎ To access the new areas from within the main game you must travel from Matras harbor; integration requires the base game unless running the standalone version.

❎ Recommended minimum level suggests newer characters may struggle without prior leveling.
