Starter Path
Start Here
Beginner walkthroughs for your first hours, base setup, starter gear, and safer progression.
Fresh saves that need a steadier opening
Core Keeper guides
Start here when you want the main guide sections first, not a long list of support pages.
This page is the main guide hub for the site. Use it to move into beginner help, progression, bosses, items, locations, builds, or farming without guessing which branch should own the next click.
Where most players should start
New save
Use these when the first hours still feel messy and the save needs a cleaner opening route before anything else.
Boss wall
This is the right branch when the save already knows the next target and only needs a cleaner plan to get through it.
Map blocker
Map problems usually want a location page, the interactive map, or one route clue before another broad guide.
Old save
Returning players usually need to reset one stale assumption before the normal guide stack becomes useful again.

Test disclosure
Each guide's review details describe the player situation and checking method used for that page. They are practical guide context, not official certification or a promise that every save, build, mod, or patch will behave identically.Pages get updated again when a route, boss prep note, or map clue stops helping in a normal save.
Revision note
Guide branches get reopened when a route, stage order, or section handoff stops feeling clear.Meaningful recommendation, layout, and media changes are logged on the corrections page.
Feedback route
Send the page, the branch, and the exact point where the next click feels wrong.If a guide missed your case, send the page URL, game version, and the exact step, screenshot, or route cue that felt wrong.
