This is an amazing quest. I basically wrote a review in the quest thread, so I'll link that below; I put any spoiler-y stuff in spoilers:

Heh, how did I miss this quest when it was released? <checks release date> oh duh, it was right before Breath of the Wild came out
Anyway, kudos to the creators. I hadn't played the first Nargad game, but if there's ever a third, I'd be thrilled to play it.

Description
This is the sequel to Nargad's Trail: Argon's Evil Lair, but the gameplay and concept is quite different from NTAEL. The quest doesn't put much emphasis on story, but instead focuses on an emerging world to explore. Besides that, there are 8 classical dungeons featured in this quest and 1 big final dungeon. While you go through the dungeons in a linear order, side quests and a massive overworld to explore change up the pace constantly.

Tips & Cheats
Use the map signs when lost, since the last major update they don't only show where you are, but also show where to go!
You continue at the last village or dungeon you were in, or at the last place you entered or left. Remember this when dying much in the overworld.
When you've saved, you continue at the last dungeon or village you were in.
Exploration is key in finding Heart Container Pieces, nice money rewards or upgrades.
You always get a hint where to go next after each dungeon, so be sure to pay attention to the text!
The road to level 2 is very long, so prepare for a long travel!
Pay much attention to what Frozenblood says after each dungeon. He will usually give you a direction on what to do next, even if it seems irrelevant.
