A compact early-game route to build Vigor for levels or purchases before pushing farther into Pilgrim’s Perch.
PC / Global, 2023 game
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
Sanctuary, starting at the Vestige of Chabui and clearing the nearby ground toward the Pilgrim’s Perch exit, including the adjoining left and right areas if they are safe for you.
This short circuit uses the enemies around the Sanctuary exit and resets them at Chabui. It is useful when those fights are already manageable and you want a little more character progression before moving on. Vigor carried from a fight remains at risk until you spend it, so use the Vestige’s Upgrade Character option when you have enough for a useful level.
Reach Sanctuary and activate the Vestige of Chabui on the route toward Pilgrim’s Perch.
Have a weapon, spell, or ranged option that can handle the local melee and kneeling ranged enemies.
Know the return path to Chabui so you can reset before your health becomes critical.
Rest at Chabui to restore your resources and ensure the nearby enemies have reset.
Head back toward the Sanctuary exit rather than continuing forward into the next area.
Clear the nearby melee enemies first, keeping space to avoid being surrounded.
Deal with the kneeling ranged enemy from a safe angle; it leaves Vigor despite its passive posture.
Extend the sweep into the nearby left and right areas only if the enemies there remain within an easy return to the Vestige.
Collect the Vigor drops as you clear, then return to Chabui before your health or healing runs low.
Choose Upgrade Character to spend carried Vigor when a level is useful, or rest to restore resources and repopulate the enemies.
Farming tips
Keep the loop tight; the route is an example, and a longer detour can erase its safety advantage.
If you use kicks near a drop or edge, maintain your footing and avoid following an enemy into a fall yourself.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeatable while the nearby enemies can be reset by resting at Chabui. The amount earned varies with enemies defeated and your build; there is no fixed yield.
Common mistakes
Running onward into Pilgrim’s Perch mid-loop: return to Chabui after the nearby circuit instead.
Ignoring the kneeling ranged enemy: include it if you can reach it safely, since it can leave Vigor.
Resting without spending a level’s worth of Vigor: resting restores resources but does not secure carried Vigor from death; use Upgrade Character to bank it.
When to stop or switch
Stop when the fights cease to be quick, you have the level or purchase you wanted, or the next area offers better progression for your character.
