Brown walls with bodies?

[FunkyFrodo]

How the hell am I suppose to get through or break these walls? The ones that are brown and look like trees but has bodies in it. Do I need the big weapon? (I don't know how its called in English, the one with the chain that you can choose at the beginning of the game).

Just play the game. It'll come to you soon enough.

For a less vague answer, but in spoiler tags. You have to get high enough and use the downward attack of the Ruego Al Alba to break them.

Essentially what you'll come to learn is that whichever weapon you start with will give you access to *something*, and the other two weapons will do the same when you find them. Pay attention to what the weapons interact with in the world. You'll notice they don't interact with the same objects.

Thank you all for your answers!

Just a note, too, that most secret areas will require you to use multiple weapon abilities and/or mobility upgrades to access. So, don't be dismayed if you find a secret but can't quite use it yet. I've put the rest in spoilers if you're not interested, but to save you time:

Veredicto (mace) = Can ring bells that send out a shockwave that create watery steps and dissolve green/angel-looking barriers

Sarmiento & Centella (daggers) = Hitting the silver mirrors allows you to teleport

Ruego Al Alba (sword) = Destroys brown-looking tree barriers. However, you must be at a high elevation to trigger the effect. You'll know you're successful because the screen will slightly darken and red energy waves will come out when you land

Yellow floating sparkles = Your final mobility upgrade you won't receive until an end game area

Vertical blue chains = Requires air dash that you can get around mid-late game

I'd suggest you pick an icon for each type of barrier you run into so you can mark it on your map. You'll eventually gain an ability that allows you to fast travel between save points. That requires finding 5-6 of the lost Cobijadas and paying $6,000. The NPC you need is located above the pit to Profundo Lamento on the right-hand side.
