Well I'll give you some decisive points (this is based on the only bibliography of the game in the wiki since I can't play).
You know there are rumors that in the outskirts of the city(tutorial) there is a citizen that if you help him he can give you a potion of courage(???) which can give the protagonist a boost in his worst moments(only this potion has a small problem).
And I think we should accept the gift of the silver one so we can even the situation, however we have to be careful because he might not have the mental strength to keep the beast.
And if we mix amber it could be a fun recipe that could lead to a unique direction giving a "reverse" touch to the story.
The rest is your choice and if you want I can give you more details here or talk to you privately about it to leave it as a special route.
