Help getting to level 6?

[buddy]

I can't get past the level 6 door in the secret area. Right now I have 322 EXP. I've been running around for hours trying to find more EXP, and I'm just at a loss. At this point I feel like I've combed through every area multiple times, and I can't find a single EXP cube.
Any help would be appreciated

Wow, yeah. Thanks for pointing that out.

I feel your pain. I finally got into the ? area and found the level 6 door, and even after exploring more of the Hollow and finishing some puzzles I had misunderstood or forgotten I am still at 358/360.

The only thing I haven't figured out is the owl at the top of the Inside the Tree area. He's flying around way too high to reach, on the opposite side from where the void screw is located. it's possible he's just an enemy to be avoided but every other owl in that area is something you can use to platform so I presume the same is true of him.

Off the top of my head, some of the more obscure XP pieces I found were:
- the red screw in the dragon's cave (you could easily miss this one forever; truly vicious)
- Inside the Tree, using a bomb bird to blow up the owl pellet pile and rescue the metal worm
- spinning the kid on the merry-go-round in the mirror world
- spinning the elevator in the mirror world to access the "Light the Cubes" challenge
- the dirt behind the zoo, as someone else mentioned

I suppose I'll have to climb the Anxiety Tower again to see where I'm missing the final pieces.

I went back to the block room and found 1 cube. I went from 347 to 348 exp.
I already found all the trash cans.
there's nothing in the spider grave either

There's one XP cube in the spider grave on the ceiling. It's a pretty fiendish place to hide one and I only found it because I was digging around on the walls and ceiling.

Did you ever find out if the owl in the tree is just an enemy to be avoided or necessary for some paltforming? I'm missing one single XP crystal

I redid the Anxiety Tower to check my score, and it indicated I had missed 1 item in the Hollow. I'm in the process of scouring the Hollow looking for my final XP cube, so I haven't gotten to Inside the Tree yet. But I don't think that owl flying at the top leads to XP.

If you're missing a red screw/5 XP Inside the Tree that you can see but can't reach, then the solution to that involves visiting the tree when the hollow is not flipped (since you need to flip the hollow in order to get into the tree before you fight the boss). There is also the second entrance into the tree, which involves the bat near the pentagonal bridge thing at the base of the cliff.

Getting that bat requires you to descend from the top of the cliff and you need to be in the flipped hollow (other people have found it pretty easily, so I'm not going to spoonfeed the answer here; it's really not too hard).

I finished the game with 110% and that owl doesn't do anything, no

I think I'm missing one EXP crystal. I'm at 350/360. Haven't revisited Anxiety to check the score screen again. Does anyone have a list of the EXP crystals in the game? I am basically out of ideas for where to continue looking. I believe I've also recovered all the void screws (needed a lot of help with some of those). Glad those were cleverly hidden (mostly).

Have you done the one next to the entrance to Hollow where you have to shoot bombs at 3 owls?

oh for some reason I didn't think that did anything. got it, now I just need 1 more cube and presumably one more crystal in hollow

[inappropriately_gendered_fungus]

FUDGE YEAH I DID IT! I found all the things and [REDACTED] [REDACTED] [REDACTED]!

I wound up redoing Anxiety to confirm I was only missing one crystal. So much easier the second time, honestly.

I felt like a total idiot when I found the last crystal. I forgot there was a crank in the trinket shop. All I had to do was activate it in the mirror world.

Still, fantastic game, warts and all.

Having trouble with the Grave puzzle. I got every one but Sniggy's grave. I assume it's related to the fish in the trinket shop, but I can't figure it out

i'm stuck at 357XP only one more item left in the park as i had two before i got the XP @ada pointed out in the cube room. Any one can help me with more obscure park XP? not sure how many left in hollow, did all the grave puzzles, got the two dragon related XP and all cranks. gonna have to re-do the tower to see if there is anything left in.
does the owl tower count towards hollow item? maybe i missed something there?

wow thank you. that looked familiar but was my last one :)

[Greyvine]

got my last screw in park, it was under the rock with the note (you have to destroy it with the bomb like the other one). That was everything. Neat ending!!
