Serveral questions (potential spoilers)

[Man Plays Game]

I am trying to 100% the game and have a couple of questions for progressing after finishing most of the game. I am looking for hints only because the puzzles are enjoyable and I would like to feel like I achieved it fairly. Anything that can point me in the right direction concerning these 'loose ends' would be appreciated.

-mech lady's lair in upper left of map (seems to be connected to graveyard dungeon)
-the (at least) three secret areas: crystal cave, ship in a cave, cave with claw marked coffin.
-ANY of the locked doors around the map

If marriage is something that unlocks any of these please just indicate that without naming anyone. Again, just want to be pointed in the right direction.

Thanks for any advice!

We put a lot of hidden areas around the game as fun things to find, but they don't necessarily have any special events tied to them. There are some areas that are not immediately accessible, as we are planning on adding additional content related to them in the near future.

Are you trying to get the last few locked achieves?

[Man Plays Game]

Thank you for replying so quickly!
Yes. Trying for 'Prodigal Sun', 'Hearty' and 'Debtless'
Really been enjoying the game and I wanted to fully complete it.

[Mhinbron]

Prodigal Sun is linked to some special interactions with Pa. Which is part of Debtless.

Good luck!

[Man Plays Game]

Thank you very much! I will spend more time with Pa!

[Man Plays Game]

Wow, super glad I got THOSE achievements! You all made a wonderful game! Still looking for the remaining heart pieces. I am missing exactly 4. By chance are there pieces you have only one chance of getting in a play through?

[Mhinbron]

No all heart ore can be picked up at any time once you have the tools. Some are more sneakily hidden than others.

[Man Plays Game]

Ok. Time to do some backtracking. Thanks again! Wonderful experience!

hey! just wanted to jump on this topic with a couple questions of my own:

- what is the coin of crowl for? I have several and have yet to find anyone who wants it. am I missing a potential love interest?
- the "strange rock formation" in the second dungeon?
- how do I/can I access the chilling hole in the first dungeon?

otherwise I have every other item, so I'm not sure if or what else I might be missing (except for ONE dang heart ore, but hoping maybe there's a location in that list I'm missing)

[Porkadile]

In the graveyard dungeon there are two statues. Does the second one currently do anything? I have combed this place and can't find the other side of it for the life of me.

[Mhinbron]

Coins of Crowl will be very useful for you in a future patch. Hope you look forward to it. You will need more than what you can get now but having the ones accessible already will save you some time.

A lot of these little hidden spots and places that look like the entrances to sub-dungeons or dungeons are places where we have laid the ground work for continued content support of the game. I think you are the first person to find the chilling hole without help. Well done! That statue will help you out later.

I will double check the heart ore locations to see if something may be awry. I had someone tweet at us with 100% completion so hopefully one isn't failing to load for some folks. I will dig around and see what I can find.

Other side is the chilling hole somelamp is referring to.

hah! cool. I just kinda lucked out in that lasso. went in that dungeon a few times to see if I could figure out where the second statue went.

lovely game, and looking forward to future updates <3

edit: oh! I'm guessing the weathered shack on the beach is also for future potential?

also, nothing made me more sad than the time I hit the dog's ball into the ocean. very cute detail tho :)

Thank you very much for taking the time to play. I hope you enjoyed it.

[Porkadile]

Found it. That is... incredibly obtuse and feels like it breaks the rules of how the game behaves. Unless isn't like that specifically because there's no reason to access it I don't approve.

Now if I could just find this last heart ore, I've only got the one left myself...

[Porkadile]

I just got my last heart ore, so I can confirm that they all show up in general.
