Before Mirage Estate
Keep a separate save before the Green Serpent House passage. Review the purple quest chain, including Illusory Pipa, Crimson Manor and Secrets at the Heart of the Lake. If the game warns of unfinished requirements, return to the Journal instead of confirming.
After entering
Complete the remaining Bloodline Awakening requirement through the five Long Pillar challenges. At Mount Soulrend’s Last Chance bell, audit again. That final warning also appears after requirements are met; it is not a failure indicator by itself.
What this checklist covers
This is a progression safety check, not an item-by-item solution to every purple quest. Sources disagree about the total number of endings and how late tasks remain available. Use the earlier completion window and retain a save rather than relying on the more permissive claim.
