What Am I Missing

[Five-Headed Snake God]

I just beat the first "final" boss, and I'm unsure what to do next. I know I need to find the remaining curios, and I have a general idea of where they might be, but no idea how to access them. Specifically, my map is missing large parts of Narthex (including all of the lowest floor that isn't past the Birdcage Key door), so I suspect that's where I need to look, but apart from a single locked door I can't see anything new that I can actually explore. Can someone help me out? At this point I'm fine with direct instructions.

If you beat the Marquis de Galleria, do all your requests then go to the lowest Narthex floor and enter the locked door

I have the exact opposite problem. I have collected all the curios d'arte but it just says "the witch isn't back yet, keep exploring". I haven't fought the boss yet but I've completely explored all of the floors. I even explored enough to unlock the prim reaper and immortal witch petitions.

At this point I'm assuming it must be some kind of real time timer? Or else I can't figure out what it wants me to do differently. I've completely cleared out the area past the birdcage key door except for 1 area that it stops me and says "I'll go back and talk to the witch about this door" except that obviously I can't do that because the witch isn't back yet.

i'm at your point now. Go to the bottom of that labyrinth and interact with the locked door there. There will be an exclamation mark on it.

This will be the 3rd time I've done that now, assuming you mean Narthex but at this point I'd try anything. Maybe the timing of the other 2 times was before some other thing, who knows?

Yeah that didn't change anything sadly. I don't know if I glitched it because the 1st time I interacted with that door was before I unlocked the dive ability IIRC.

I'm now stuck here as well. Done all the requests, have all the curio (well, the ones that I can find anyway since I have searched every corner of ever map I'm pretty sure), beat the boss and the game just tells me to keep looking. There are a few areas on my map that I just can not access because there's literally no way to enter them. I don't know what the game wants from me since my only way forward are some arrows that force me to move and I can't deal with them yet from what I can guess and a locked door on the 4th floor of Narthex.

EDIT: Had to look up a guide which is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, but the entire things holding me back was a single wall that I didn't try to break since there was no indication there was a path forward by doing so since every other wall in the area gave me no results. That is complete ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Here's the area you need to check if you are missing large parts of Narthex which apparently could have been accessed much early during the playthrough. Narthex 4th floor X:9 Y:20

Look for the gamefaqs guide. Everything is in there to proceed.

THANK YOU!!!!

Good god I was ready to uninstall this game. I'm walking around with a lv 70 party, 2K in defense and offense for every member, doing 60K with a simple flame dance donum spell and farming lv 48 bosses and tearing my hair out because I've spent 3 days walking around in circles. Thank you.

Got stuck at the same place; there are *two* exclamation-point doors you need to interact with: one at the bottom of Narthex, and the other at the bottom of Apse. Interacting with them before completing the moon sigils for Gartan doesn't count.
