Secret Items question

[nub]

Are there items in secret areas that I should be searching for, or is it just straight forward?

There are 3 types of upgrades to health/mana/stamina. Also getting meditiation points get skill point each. Not to mention you need to find vendors and NPC to get use of them same with spirits. I recommend exploring.

it has some interesting hidden areas with bosses. you will have unique stuff to upgrade your gear

This game is full of secret bosses and rewards. Explore everywhere! If you want to beat all bosses you will probably need to watch some youtube vids as there are specific things you have to do to unlock secret areas and bosses. Secret key items needed for said secret areas

exploring is rly important.
If you miss secrets / Secret Boss fight => you miss good items.
Weapons, armor,. potions and other usefull stuff

and:
Never kill the end boss. after that youll never get a new chance for some secrets. Just NG+ or new game

Also, you can upgrade the starting gourd and all your lower tier armor if you unlock the npc's that do that. As well as permanently upgrading your base stats

Some quests actually disable for other reasons. Like in chapter 1 the wandering wight disappears when you encounter the boss (not kill, but encounter) in the secret area of that chapter. Or like killing the big guy first in that duo boss battle in chapter 2.
