Arcanum Season 1 walkthroughs

**Welcome to the Arcanum walkthroughs.**
This page features the walkthroughs for **Season 1**. Click here if you are looking for walkthroughs for other seasons.

This book is complete.

**What are walkthroughs?** Walkthroughs are episode-by-episode guides that will reveal the effects each choice has on your character and the plot. Please note that these pages are always under construction as we learn more about each book.

Most choices you make for the Main Character in this book influence the following variables: **High Priestess** 🌙 or **Emperor** 💀. These variables will affect the plot of the story. Your choices are also affected by **Redemption** ⛓️ (High or Low Redemption can dramatically change your story and how others treat you) and **Major Arcana** 🎴 (The tarot cards will help you solve problems and lift the veil of the past and the future).

**PLEASE NOTE:** choices that have no significant effect on the plot (as in, no effect on game points and statistics) or that do not give interesting information on characters or backstories might have not been included in the walkthroughs.

Premium choices that require in-game currency to be unlocked are marked by a 💎 diamond symbol. Quick choices that are timed are marked by a ⏰ timer symbol.

*Text written in Italic provides a summary of the episode and extra information.*

⚠️**TRIGGER WARNINGS:** Arcanum is a dark fantasy book and has sound effects and images that might scare some readers. Please proceed with caution! Be aware that in **Episode 3** it contains scenes related to death. In **Episode 5** some playthroughs may mention suicide.

**DISCLAIMER:** due to the very intricate nature of this game, where every choice you make sets into motion a complicated series of consequences, there are many possible game routes and scene combinations. As a result, the walkthroughs on this wiki might not be exactly identical to your game experience. If you experience something that is *not* covered in our walkthroughs, please leave a comment so we can update the page and add an extra possible route to our wiki.

**Also please note:** The descriptions of the scenes included in these walkthroughs might be paraphrases of what happens, so please don't take them as word by word copies of what is said in the book.
