*Spoilers* Enter Coral Hideout Early

[Jamation]

So this may have been really obvious to other people or some content creator may have posted a video/short, but I just recently found it myself and thought it was neat so wanted to share!

So the Coral Snakes Hideout is usually attached to Hugo's questline. If you go to the normal entrance you'd take while chasing Hugo where he talks to the 2 guards, you'll come across the entry way being blocked by a giant gate:

But while trying to follow the sound of a Seeker Tokens I stumbled across a climbable mountain ridge:

It doesn't get marked as a cave entrance on your map despite having the "cave" exploration map upon entering the hideout. The climbable cliffs are here on the map where my character is standing:

You can explore the hideout, claim all the chests including the cool (*ba dum tss*) Frosted Edges, as well as talk to (and gift!) Hugo, Sasha, and Quentin. Sasha and Quentin have your usual "rough guy" dialogue lines while Hugo had some lines I hadn't heard him say/didn't recognize from other NPCs.

Hugo at the point he crosses the bridge:

Sasha where the gate closes for the fleeing kids:

Quentin near the early access entrance:

I always found it weird that out of all the bandits, you could revive Quentin and Sasha for some reason. I can't remember if they are the two in jail beside Brefft or if they were related to those other quests where you have to talk to prisoners, but I feel like they were supposed to be more involved in the quests than they were...considering when we meet them....we also murder them...

Anyways, this may be old news or irrelevant, but I just wanted to share something a little lighter than what we normally see around here.

It was quite a long storyline, but in the end, you have a chance to get Hugo to run Isaac's shop in Bakbatahl ( If Isaac's wife/daughter had a bad ending in the Short-Sighted quest ).

You can also have him work at the Rose Chateau if you did that quest.

Yeah I still need to get this ending, only had him work at the Rose Chateau so far. Still got a long way to go this playthrough as I haven't even talked to Brant at the tavern at night to start of the main story hahahaha

i learned too late that its more meaningful to get him to be a shop owner, even though it's a bad ending of sorts, if you are trying to collect everything as hugos merchant store has a few otherwise unobtainable items
