Stuck after Eternal Engine

[rightfn]

I beat the council and EE, I have the 'adaptation' upgrade and the ligaments (hang on ledge) upgrade as well as the 'cortex' upgrade to unlock the fast travel and certain other interact-able objects.

Can't find anything else to do on The Surface or Gardens or 'old waters' or whatever it was called. Or the depths below the commons. My map does not seem to have any goals marked on it.

Sorry I'm pretty new and don't have a lot of these names memorized.

Am I supposed to be 'stuck' until I earn more $$$ to excavate more of the shrine?
Feel free to just tell me what area(s) to (re)check again

[( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡ °)]

Expedition connects to another area. Check the long vertical shaft to the right of the 2nd save room, iirc there's a breakable floor/wall in there.

Thanks. If you're talking about the garden, I had been there but missed something on my previous passes. Game opened up after I found something in the gardens I had missed before.

If you are talking about some other place, no worries I'm going to compare your notes to my map :)

Much further along in the game now and I've beaten 2 out of 3 important looking bosses. Thanks for the help.

Aha yes, i was talking about the Gardens, missed that you mentioned them between The Surface and the Old Waters, sorry

The thing I missed was in Gardens so your advice was better than you give it credit for :)

I just finished the game (I think), lol. It was fun while it lasted, pacing felt slightly un-even but the non-linear upgrade path was interesting. It was weird how beating 1 boss unlocked TWO major upgrades. Overall fun and glad I played it, but I'll be damned if I understood what the story was saying lol
