In the Roblox action RPG Derelict, developed by Scrambledly Studios, Wilhelm's Guidance is an early NPC quest offered by Sir Wilhelm. The quest functions as the game's core combat tutorial, tasking you with completing Wilhelm's training at Monte Sant'Angelo. Completing it awards Insight Exp, currency, crafting materials, and access to Gideon's subsequent tasks.
How to Unlock Wilhelm's Guidance
Before you can accept Wilhelm's Guidance, you must rescue Sir Wilhelm from his holding cell during another NPC storyline.
- Accept and progress Percival's quest, Dying Wish.
- Enter the Crooked Cavern located near Gideon's Camp to find Sir Wilhelm locked in a cage.
- Defeat the enemy guarding him and unlock the cage door to free him.
- Speak to Sir Wilhelm once he is released, after which he leaves the dungeon.
- Return to Gideon's Camp and talk to Sir Wilhelm again. He will redirect you to Monte Sant'Angelo to initiate the Wilhelm's Guidance quest.
Sir Wilhelm provides players with a basic combat tutorial during this encounter. According to official wiki documentation, this combat tutorial can be repeated at any time if you wish to practice basic combat mechanics again.
