Prologue from Solasta 2 he wastes no time throwing you in at the deep end. After a disorienting teleportation tears your party away from everything familiar, you find yourself stranded in an unknown land with one pressing priority: finding your brother Rickard.
Two Inches From Death is the game's first proper story quest, and while it's not the most mechanically demanding chapter in the adventure, it sets the tone – introducing you to world politics, its dangers, and local powers that you'll need to carefully navigate if you want to survive.
Seek help
Once you have control of your party, explore the area around the starting location. You will meet a group Wood gnomes and garden nymphs.
You will be prompted to try it assault enemy, and that can help, but it's not particularly necessary. The best way to ambush enemies is with a a ranged character attacking the nearest Wood Sprite. The rest of the enemy group will be far away by then and easy to take down.
This fight is straightforward, but it's worth understanding the distribution of enemies: Wood goblins clash in close combat range while Garden nymphs hold back and ranged attack. The natural instinct may be to send your melee fighters behind the Goblins since they range anyway, but resist it; prioritize send your melee units right into the Garden Nymphs to stop their ranged attacks soon. Have your own characters or wizards deal with the goblins. Controlling the Nymph first significantly cleaner encounters.
Once the fight is resolved, follow a linear path forward (use the map to see where you can actually go) until you run into a group of strangers. The conversation starts automatically.
This dialogue has a choice, but don't worry about it – no matter what you say, your party will be arrested. Make sure to mention RickardOf course.
