Faxanadu is a linear adventure game. You begin in the town of Eolis in the kingdom of the Elves, at the bottom of the World Tree. You must progress through the game, obtaining key items which enable you to proceed further and higher up the tree. Along the way you will encounter other towns, where you can acquire information and use the money obtained to improve your equipment, in particular:

  • Apolune (on the roots)
  • Forepaw (on the roots)
  • Mascon (inside the trunk)
  • Victim (inside the trunk)
  • Conflate (on the branches)
  • Daybreak (on the branches)
  • Dartmoor (inside the Dwarfs' fortress)

You will not be able to proceed to the next section of the game without successfully completing the quest that awaits you at each section. Below is a list of the items you need to collect throughout the game, and the area to which they will grant you access.
