chapter 3 progress question

[kpr]

simple one.

I got to the turtle island. fighting with dragon lady. how much of chapter 3 still ahead of me? got a little tired with all this snow.

I would say about slightly less than half in terms of shines you've unlocked. Although after the fight with the lady you have one small section then you can directly head to the final boss without any requirement if you really want to rush through a giant chuck of the shines are from optional areas

thanks. no, no. I'm doing everything optional I can find :)

hope at least in terms of area covered it will be quickier. these longs corridors of pagoda and snow paths were tiring.

chapter 3 is the largest in term of physical size and there is a lot of hidden secrets and bosses compared to other chapters. a couple of the hidden bosses are also lost forever if you beat the chapter 3 final boss before finding them

thanks. chapter 3 is quite linear so far though. can you hint at what is a level of open-worldness of chapters 4, 5 and 6.

chapter 2 turned out nice ultimately, but since I am completionist and I'm sticking to every wall, it was quite exhausting. how are chapters 4, 5 and 6 in that manner?

Chapter 4 is pretty much the worst when it comes to exploration, i only say Cave Network alot of ups and downs, different parts where you have to decide to jump down, then later teleport back to shrine to look for the otherway (provided you still remember which way you took the first time.)

i dont mind the missing compass or map to make exploration a little bit more exciting.
but i would have appreciated if they had given the monkey a piece of chalk or so, so that we could mark the ways we have already taken.
