Did I break ymir's quest? (spoiler free)

[Morton Koopa Jr.]

He gave me one map. I went to the ruins of Rhia. Did the bell.

Went back, and he gave me a new map. Haven't been able to reach there yet.

Been checking on him every now and then. Came back and he was gone. I pressed a button on the chair and then died down there.

He returned to the chair, was holding his baby, and told me I saw something I shouldn't have. And now he won't leave the chair. My runes are still down there.

Google basically tells me I shouldn't have been able to get down there yet? But then the dialogue I got about seeing something I shouldn't have...I dunno. Can't find any record that anyone else has experienced the same.

Probably need to come back after reaching second map destination.

I had that too, except I did not die down there. I felt I was not meant to be there yet when I went down.
I left and did the other bell and when I came back the quest line continued as if nothing happened. Maybe this will work for you too. Depends heavily on how much your death messed it up. But I'd say just try do the other bell and come back after that.

Hmm damn lol. I'm trying to play this blind and haven't figured out (for sure) how to get to the second ruins.

Wonder if I can get by relying on twiggy so I can salvage my runes.

That you died is unfortunate but you definitely didn't break his quest.

Good to know.

Also, final update. I decided to explore the shadow keep again from the side entrance, and see if I could weasel my way to the north of the map. Randomly walked and jumped around rafters randomly. And suddenly took an elevator that took me to the area on top of the map, Scaduview.

It was gorgeous. I set up to take a screenshot.
Then suddenly boss gauge appeared. I tried to quickly equip a twig because my tear JUST expired.

Dead. Well, guess I don't gotta worry about my runes down there any more

The quest is fine, your runes are probably lost. Good luck if you are going the way of twiggy.

To access the second region, first, get all map fragments and then look around in the area(s) that is closest to the area that you want to get to.

You can catch a small glimpse said region from a certain boss arena, that should give you the clue.
