The C++ source files are stored in C:\Users\Andrew\UnrealProjects\UnrealRPGProject2\Source\ and the Visual Studio C++ solution is UnrealRPGProject2.sln.  You can open the Visual Studio C++ solution from the Windows Explorer independently from the Unreal Editor.

Game Actors come with a Blueprint (filename suffixed BP which can be opened in the Blueprint Editor) alongside the C++ Actor class counterpart. To use the Hell Hound Blueprint (Enemy Actor), right click it in the Content Browser and choose "Reload" (located in the Wolf Folder).  The player character “Ancient Warrior” is stored in the Character Folder.

 

The game levels are ThirdPersonMap  and MainMap (a Forest Canyon and a Canyon Level), the Visual Studio C++ Project Solution is the UnrealRPGProject2.sln solution which contains some custom C++ Actor Class code (Player Controller, AI and some GUI interface Code) and the Blueprint Visual Node scripts are stored in MyBlueprints folder for level interaction (switches, pickups and objective points).
