A big chunk of Where Winds Meet is a solo experience, so picking the right difficulty is key. There are five levels: Story, Recommended, Expert, Legend, and Hardcore. Story, Recommended, and Expert can be toggled anytime, but Legend is locked in at the start—no changing it later. And note that Hardcore isn't available yet, but when it drops, it'll bring permanent character death.

Story is the easiest, perfect if you're here for the narrative and combat basics. It's great for exploring the map with minimal fuss. Recommended gives you a balanced mix of story and challenge, with tougher bosses but still encourages exploration. Expert cranks up enemy difficulty and removes deflection and time cues—ideal for combat-focused players who want a test. Legend is for souls-like veterans: dramatically harder encounters, new boss rewards, and no time-stop or assist options.

Now, for the chapters themselves. Here's a list of every chapter in the game, with links to specific walkthroughs (you'll find them in the full guide). Each chapter is a step in the epic tale, so take your time and enjoy the ride.
