== Closing ==
As of October 2021, I have soloed all Praetorian content on three different characters, found a few undocumented bugs and quirks here and there in the process, and discovered ways around them.  That led to my writing this guide, so others can enjoy all the Praetorian content without encountering any issues and enjoy a smooth experience.

I hope that you find this guide helpful.  I'm a villain for life, but I will always have a soft spot for Praetoria.  Drink Enriche, and hail Emperor Cole!
