Before taking the Rescue the Archaeologist Quest, take the Break The Siege Quest, the latter becomes unavailable after completing the former. You'll need to complete Break The Siege to unlock the Archery Competition mini-game, and it's one of the two ways to get the Robin or Arthur Achievement.
It's a short enough quest that has you protecting Knothole Glade from a wave of Bandits. Also take the Lost Trader Quest afterwards.
You'll have to head through The Clifftop Pass and slay all the bandits on the way to the palisade in the W then protect Thomas whilst the Bandits spawn in (you can heal as needed). Take him back to the E to receive another clue for the Frying Pan that we've found. I'm not sure if the buffs apply retroactively, but the Frying Pan really needs the augment slots filled in to be useful. If you never got it, go for the clues and max out mana regeneration on it if you wish, as it will give you a long period of casting offensive spells before recharging.
At this point I head back to Knothole Glade to finish off the 10,000G rent collection for the achievement, and take part in the Archery Competition. You simply need to beat your score set way back at the beginning of the game. Hopefully you didn't get it too high, though it should be easier now.
Winning gets you the Arthur or Robin achievement (unless you somehow did the Arthur part already from the Sword in the Stone at the Temple of Avo). You'll also get another Treasure Clue.
Head back to the Guild to spend experience and take on the Rescue The Archaeologist Quest.
Fight through the new Summoner enemies and their Minions until you reach Gibbet Woods, where a Rock Troll is summoned. We beat a pair back in the Arena, this should be easy enough. Follow through to Prison Path and take out all the enemies before the time runs out (or just run straight there and deal with the captors). You'll be told about Bargate Prison, where we'll be going as part of the main quest soon.
Head back to the Guild to find more Quests. Execution Tree is the good version of Execution Tree Rescue, so pick which you want.
I start with Darkwood Disturbance which has you teaming up with Briar Rose to investigate a Shrine being used as a portal. FIght off waves of summoners and heal her whilst she does her job.
Next up Execution Tree. A slow walk from Bowerstone Jail to Execution Tree in Headsman's HIll whilst helping the guards take on ambushes by bandits for a few screens.
Afterwards head through to Lychfield Graveyard to continue the main quest.
You'll overhear an old man intending to sell off some rare armour belonging to Nostro, and how he scattered it throughout the area. Then we'll join him on our way through.
Nab the Nostro Helmet form his house on the shelf. Dig through the graves whilst heading W and nab Silver Key 24/30 in the pond. Just W of here you'll find Nostro's Sword. In the nearby Crypt you can find Silver Key 25/30 in a Coffin and another grave nearby has Silver Key 26/30.
Fish up Nostro's Shield across the bridge in the SE corner of this area. Finally, the Crypt in the NW of this area has Nostro's Armour in a coffin.
Head on through to the next area and with all the Nostro's equipment you'll give it to his body to release his curse, and be allowed passage through the Demon Door (another non-achievement, mandatory one).
The Old Graveyard Path has infinitely spawning enemies, but they'll get cheap shots off as they rise from the ground, making a high combo hard to achieve. Worth it for an experience farm - particularly to wrap up The Temple of Avo, if you wish. Head through to the Circle of the Dead when satisfied. This is the Chest I missed (which just has an augment). Nab it before touching the glowing green circle so you don't forget.
Defeat the waves of enemies to fully activate the circle and be granted passage, head back to the Heroes' Guild and take the Bounty Hunt quest on, you'll be locked out of doing side activities for a while as part of the next main quest, so grind up and do anything leftover from earlier in this walkthrough if you wish.
Kill the trail of Bandits to Fisher Creek to rescue the brother then head to the lake and use a ranged attack to rescue the sister - approaching like I did the first time gets her killed and you'll have to reload. You get another clue for finishing the quest. The part ends in the Heroes' Guild
