The Battle of Solace Bridge is a Tutorial Adventuring Area scene.

When you first arrive in New Britannia after Character Creation you will arrive in a Scene named Battle of Solace Bridge. This scene is a mandatory tutorial scene that all new players will arrive in. This scene is designed to show some basic game play for players new to Shroud of the Avatar.
After taking the boat to Solace Bridge Outskirts you can never return to this specific named scene again (Battle of Solace Bridge). On the World Map a similar scene named Solace Bridge can be entered into and will be very similar to the Battle of Solace Bridge scene.

Beginning Tips[edit]

After your character appears in the scene you will be given 2 basic quests to complete.

  • Rotate Your Camera
  • Move with W, A, S and D keys
  • After you complete these 2 quests you will be given a new quest, Escape the Battle of Solace Bridge.

In the top middle area of your screen is the Compass. This will display compass directions and Points of Interest markers.

If you do not see a window named Map, press the default m key to bring up the Map Window. This will show you a map of the current scene and provide you with a way to navigate around the scene.
