@Darkwing_Duckie Yeah! No problem asking for a little clarity! 💖
I did everything I could quest-wise leading up to Weisshaupt. The only things I couldn't do were (trying to keep this as spoiler for you as possible but keep in mind that it's hard to explain everything without mentioning at least a little bit):
- I couldn't do altars. This doesn't impede you quest-wise other than keeps you from getting extra skill points and health points, but you can do them after Weisshaupt. (Will note, that this may make Weisshaupt a little more difficult without those boosts, but you could always farm a bit and beat up some enemies in other areas to help make up for some of that)
- I couldn't break a wall in the mysterious mansion in the Wetlands so I couldn't explore it, But that quest was still available after Weisshaupt.
- I beat all of the champions that are part of the Heart of Corruption quest except for the one in Dock Town before Weisshaupt because you need to be able to access a Wolf Altar to get to the area where that champion is. (won't say which one to help prevent spoilers if people want to figure it out, but in fairness I was losing my mind since I couldn't figure out how to get down there and I didn't figure that out until I had my dagger back again lol.) Again that quest will still be available after Weisshaupt And you can get enough champion essences to complete the Heart of corruption quest without doing that one before you go to Weisshaupt (which again I'm going to test if we do that quest before going to Weisshaupt if we can avoid losing the dagger again when going to beat that)
As far as trying to walk your saved back, I thought about doing that as well but the problem is it's happening at different points for different people, so I don't know how far you would have to walk it back, and even if you walk it back, it may just happen again unfortunately based on what I've read from other posts.

On a separate but slightly related note:
I am going to try that thing I mentioned about beating the boss for the heart of corruption before Weisshaupt to see if that helps us get and keep the dagger after Weisshaupt, But I also have used a few little sneaky money cheats, so I don't know how feasible beating the boss before Weisshaupt Will be for most players if you're playing the game as is. 😅 But I'll still give it a try for testing purposes.
