Walkthrough Hub
This walkthrough consolidates Dichotomy Beta progression routes through Silvernia's investigation arcs, combat encounters, and optional content. Silver Palace intertwines detective work with ARPG combat—missions often require evidence collection before boss fights unlock, making linear walkthroughs insufficient without investigation guidance.
Content reflects July 2026 beta scope; future patches may add chapters or reorder mission availability. Cross-reference map coverage for district unlock sequences.
