Climb to Talon Crest

[Qlii256]

I cannot get up to Talon Crest. My energy is depleted just as I'm about to get on top of the climb. I have the 2 bars of energy as I finished the moon machine quest closeby. Am I doing something wrong?

EDIT: Was able to get on top on the left side of the mountain. Strange that you cannot take the clearly indicated path, or was this intended?

Yo! The climb to Talon Crest should be very doable IF you've drank hot chocolate. Without hot chocolate, your stamina will drain very fast in the cold weather. Have you drank hot chocolate? That said, there are some secrets in Talon Crest if you can sneak in early (because I knew savvy players would find a way lol)...

Thank you for the quick response! I noticed the sign said I should drink hot chocolate. However, I did not know it slowed the draining.

I did just finish the game, I have to congratulate you on such a nice game! I liked the story and how cozy the whole game feels. I did however expect to be able to continue explorer the game after completion. I did the after credits and then when I click continue or load the game I'm back in the last section of the game again. I'm wondering if that's something you'd keep in mind for future development of the game where we have a way back from the house/room into the world so we can explorer.

I still had two quests open, to increase my stamina even more. And I'm sure I've missed some dialogue. Also some more things to do with ore mining so we can craft or buy better/other tools and weapons. I'm dreaming now but you did an amazing job!

Hey I'm glad you are able to finish! And I'm glad you liked it. It is my intention to allow you to explore the world after you beat the game. Your last save should in the Heart of Souls just before you talk to the Oracle. Sounds like that wasn't the case for you... where did you game load?

[Qlii256]

Yes, that is what I meant by "last section of the game". I am in the Heart of Souls just before I talk to the Oracle. I don't think I can leave the HoS at that point and continue explorer, can I?

[AdvanceNine]

yeah... just go out the way you came in and you'll be back outside. I didn't want to move people directly outside in case they hadn't beaten the game yet. I hope that makes sense :)

[Qlii256]

Ok, so I can go outside after completing once and "continuing" the save? I mean, I still can "beat" the game again so it seems like it just restarts, but it actually knows I've already beaten te game? A bit strange that you can interact with the Oracle again.

[AdvanceNine]

If you "Continue" after beating the game, you load in Mythica with all your abilities and items so you can finish any sidequests, achievements, or find any missing items. If you start a new game, you'll begin the game like normally. No matter what you choose, your "Finish Game" achievement will remain since you have successfully beaten the game. There is no option to continue within Mythica after you've passed through the Portal since that breaks the core story. But, if there is another option you'd like me to support, just let me know/ Thanks for helping me to make the game better!

[Qlii256]

Ok I think I understand now. So you left the last save right before interacting with the Oracle so we can "restart" after we've finished the game to explore the rest of the world. Now, maybe there could be a way to access the portal to Mythica from within the room of the player. Or maybe interacting with the dog. Just to make it more "streamlined" into the story. However, I do not know what your plans might be into the future with the story so this might break any potential for the future.
