Search this section for the exact wording from your journal, then use the action, requirement and location notes to work out what to do next.
Branch and optional objectives may appear in a different order.
Where a step says “Marker only”, the journal does not give a fixed entrance, so follow the in-game marker for it.
A related objective target opens the objective area; it may not be the exact entrance or the NPC’s current position.
