Great game overall, really enjoyed it.
If you have the intention to explore everything and complete it as much as you can, the game has actually a lot of content.
It took me 32 hours to complete my first playthrough, obtain all 3 endings and beat the final boss of Transient Nightmare.

The only thing that I am probably missing and that I have probably screwed is Blanton's storyline.
I managed to get the ending for each NPC except Blanton.
Does anyone know what happens to Blanton or where can you find him?
Last time that I saw him was at Basin of Decay but never had the opportunity to interact with him there.
By the time that I got in the same room where I saw him at Basin of Decay, he was no longer there.
After that, I did not manage to find him anymore for the rest of the game.

As a helpful tip, if you are having trouble for end game bosses, this Shadow Soul combination might prove useful:
  • Level 10 Farouk
  • Level 10 Sylvan equipped with 2x Ring of World Weariness
If I am not wrong, you can find one Ring of World Weariness by exploring and the other by defeating a boss or enemy.
That Shadow Soul combination easily beats all bosses in the game without even needing to use any items.
No idea if replacing Sylvan with Dawn (who has also a taunt) might work.

I've had the same issue as you on my first playthrough. Unfortunately, missing that one scene will lock you out from completing the rest of Blanton's storyline. This one can be easy to miss, because you have until the defeat of the Basin of Decay's boss to interact with Blanton there. My advice is to find a save file, either a spare one or from this thread, so you don't have to go all the way from the beginning to that point.

There have been multiple questions and answers from what I have seen on this post but sure.
Make sure to always speak with all NPCs until they repeat the same last line.

As a matter of fact, Alaine's storyline is not progress locked.
You can do her storyline at any point in time and you cannot fail it (as far as I know).
  1. (Path of Awakening > Sanctuary Entrance) At the right path, in front of the altar
  2. (Ullamvarna, City of Longing > Ullamvarna Streets) Next to the city's well
  3. (Crystal Lake > Glimmering Shore) Inside top right cave
  4. (Basin of Decay > Connecting Bridge) Just below the pyre
  5. (Castle of the Midnight Sun > Cruz's Gaol) On one of the bottom floor locked cells
To progress Alaine's story from both point 3 to point 5 included, you need to kill all 7 NPC Cruz's knights that you find on your journey. I do not how many Cruz's knights you need to kill to progress each Alaine's storyline point. My guess is that if you simply explore all places before the next meeting point and kill the Cruz's knights, you can probably find her on the designed place. If not, you could simply visit the next storyline point everytime you kill a Cruz's knight.

One important thing to keep in mind is that once you have killed the necessary Cruz's knights to move to storyline point 3. You will still be able to see Alaine at her point 2 location. Do not let this confuse you. Alaine seems to stay in that place even if you can progress her story.

And finally, for the location of the 7 Cruz's knights:
  1. (Garden of Pruners > Garden Center) Left garden path at the bottom middle
  2. (Groaning Valley > Valley Entrance) Top of the tower where you can retrieve your currency
  3. (Crystal Lake > Glimmering Shore) Next to the temple at the middle of the zone
  4. (Forest of the Blackbeast > Forest Edge) Just go completely right from the pyre
  5. (Basin of Decay > Sunken Building) Take left path and go to the top right house
  6. (Fortress of the Midnight Sun > Fortress Outskirts) Go left and up after leaving the pyre
  7. (Castle of the Midnight Sun > The Great Library) Go up the stairs next to the pyre

Knowing that this is dark fantasy game and how each NPC ends up.
I might probably be better to be ignorant of what happens to Blanton, as he was easily my favourite character.
Maybe this was a blessing in disguise for me.
Even if Basin of Decay is the place where everything goes downhill for most NPCs, I can see Blanton probably being fine.
Would be kind of a wasted opportunity to let Blanton die before reaching Fortress of the Midnight Sun (but well maybe it happens) since he is a knight himself.

hey guys, ive had a question/bug that's preventing me from proceed the playthrough, I was playing without knowing any spoilers and when i get to the castle of midnight sun, i didn't walk up the to the end of stair and instead i went to the right side to explore first and get Sylvan's Shadow Soul WITHOUT FIGHTING HER. I then go back to repose and backing to the castle, this time i went to the end of the staircase and found that i need "proof" to unlock the huge gate. According to the thread i find here https://f95zone.to/threads/the-heart-of-darkness-v1-01-bigwednesday.80029/post-8029151 I must fight Sylvan to get the proof to unlock the gate but Ive already obtain her, did i do something wrong miss something or is this a bug?

sorry for grammar im not native english speaker lol

You should be fine. I think that's a mistake in the guide. I don't remember ever fighting Sylvan either. I just remember there's a pathway to the barracks to retrieve Sylvan's shadow soul. You'll eventually come across another boss you need to fight, and then you can take the blade of honor behind them. iirc, the "proof" you're talking about is the blade of honor. You may even already have it. I remember on my first playthrough I thought it was a weapon, so it confused me at first when I couldn't find it for equipping.
