Post-109 Secrets???

[Theta]

I finally hit 109, with 12 of all the gems and 13 keys, and I feel mixed. I absolutely LOVED the game, but the part that is bothering me is that I have SO many unsolved things in my workspace (where I track screenshots and notes). Yet I have absolutely no leads at this point on how to solve them.

Has anyone figured out how to access the 7x7 grid in frozen spire A1? The one with the compass?

Also the spirals on each island are in different rooms and very suspicious.

Also it drives me absolutely insane that there are still rooms I haven't visited, for instance the top left room of the starting island, the two rooms in the Stony Cliffs, and a room in Frozen Spire.

There's a painting of what seems to be a 5x5 path to walk along on the stone wall of the island you can access when you unlock the phoenix.

There are two islands that you can clearly see under the clouds that seem to be completely inaccessible. One is in the bottom left corner, the other is on the far right, protecting an area of water that would give you back access to the volcano island. It seems like the clouds covering these islands change to make the islands more or less visible.

There are SO many seeming useless "hidden" paths in the overworld. For instance, a path in the top right that takes you behind the whirlpool as if entering the whirlpool from a different side had any effect.

Stony Cliffs A2, and Frozen Spire A1 both have little 5x5 patterns that seem to mark the room they are in? In Stony Cliffs A2, the pattern has a hole in the A2 spot, and the Frozen Spire A1 pattern is missing rocks in all the spots where there are tree trunks in Stony Cliffs, and an ice patch in the spot A1.

In general it seems like there are MANY locations that would be possible to reach if you could move the actual rocks.

There are initials in the art in a few places, although this doesn't seem to be for a puzzle it just seems to be the initials of people involved in the game.

Does anyone have leads on any of these things?

The map pattern at Stoney Cliff A2 implies where you can open the seal in A2.
I prefer the Frozen Spire A1 is similar and is some future-update content?
My guess is the 7x7 grid implies there're more rooms outside the current map of Frozen Spire, but all the possible ways to reach outside are blocked now, such as the upward stairs at E0, the empty bird platform at D4...

But yes we cannot deny the possibility of there're some meta puzzles which can break all these dead ends , unless the developer says no.

For the back "access" to the volcano - you can see a turtle in E3 of the map in the volcano i expect to get to that island is to go through the volcano secret exit. Either there's a way to make the turtle appear or it was removed/not in game yet.

I remember this turtle showing on the map but wasn't it removed in a recent update?

I am about to collect the last stars and I have a few questions about post game as well!
In the serpent island, you can see in almost all clone rooms an upside down version of the sigil that summon the clones and a pedestal with a T symbol, and every time they are only accessible to your clones.
They suspiciously don't do anything when you put a clone on them...

There are also a bunch of obstacles that do an "found a secret" jingle when you push them but never actually have secret, along with a room in the volcano, that, when you reset the room, you see 3 unreachable empty blocks that reset along.
But for those, I wouldn't be surprised if those are incorrect blocks who found their way there.

Oh, also, in the water island there's little whirlpools that are inaccessible, they are suspicious.

And I vaguely remember finding at multiple points some sigil on the ground that are never used? I can't find them back for the life of me, I wish I took some notes! I think they were like the serpent island sigil? I am probably wrong.

Other mysteries:

Can we reach: Stoney Cliffs D0 and D4 or Stoney Caverns C0, B3, D3? Especially Cliffs D4!

Stray earth symbols. Stoney Cliffs B3 tile m1. (related to tiny sandy island with the same earth symbols?)

That last one is a star puzzle.

Is it solvable?

Yes, though it's not very intuitive.

The 100% collection guide (in the guide section) has the solution.

[james.wanders]

Agreed. Perhaps is another instance of Paquerette Down the Bunburrows: have more game they planned to release "in a few weeks" but instead will spend the next year doing bug-fixes and other qol upgrades. I understand and support both great games; but maybe just a few to many hints towards more content. Was sure I was going to learn to swim in lava and can't tell you how many times I revisited the Earth sigils in the temple and beach just to see if I'd triggered something.

So there's no solution to the other side of volcano island, the 7x7 grid or the T tiles? That makes me very mad, I've wasted so much time on those trying for 100% completion.

[Wolf]

This thread saved my sanity, because other than the E3 turtle, ALL of these things were in my notes as things I just couldn't solve. Please devs, don't do that, don't add rooms that cannot be accessed yet are visible on the map (or even have very obvious tells how to exit the room, including a ledge to jump off from).

It's just mean :P

Sorry no leads, just here to add to the confusion. I thought the three keys on Raging Volcano would actually unlock something. Access to more map or at least to what ever was behind it in open world.
There also seems to be a suspicious gap south on the last level of Snake Island. I tried so many times to break the tree with the ethereal block. Again thought it was going to open up more map.

the 3 keys on raging volcano absolutely unlock something. The armor that lets you take more steps on fire blocks

Also glad I came here. It's good to know there's a solution to the Earth sigils. I love this game, but the promise of an open-world puzzler is broken when you leave in teaser content without access or solutions. This game has so many great examples of showing clear limitations based on abilities --- Devs, please remove these red herrings or be more transparent about what's "coming soon"!

[Fish_in_a_Barrel]

There is a hidden frozen bird sigil in the frozen spire that isn't indicated by the serpents, nor glyph ... it does nothing aside from driving me insane with why it's there. Just a 1x1 block.

Also to the upside-down summoning circles, I have tested with the copy on them and me on the copy, nothing interesting, and also made my way to one with no effect either.
