Need help with progress

[VR456]

So far, I've killed two out of three dreamers, with the remaining one being located in Deepnest. The problem is that I have no idea how to reach him. The only path shown on the map seems to be blocked, and there's no way around (or maybe I'm just unattentive...).

I've explored everything, and the only unvisited places are blocked by those dark energy gates (by the way, how do you disable them?).

To my knowledge there should be nothing in Deepnest that blocks progression like that. Would you be able to post a screenshot of your map?

Edit: you get the ability to get through the dark barrier things fairly late in the game. In fact the way through them is entirely optional and not required to beat the game.

There are two ways you can get there, one is via Deepnest (if memory serves correctly) and another way is through the Queen's Garden. Try looking at your map and figure out the unexplored area that would eventually connect to the Dreamer's place.

As for the dark gates.. you won't disable them. You'll get the ability to dash through them later. Like the above poster said, it's optional.

This map shows how to get to the village where the dreamer is located, the lumafly lantern if required to get through a dark area but apart from that there should be no obstructions.

nothing blocks your path to the deepnest dreamer except having the dreamnail and having a latern (not required just HELPFUL)

Well, that was awkward. Turns out I just had to find a breakable floor. The thing is that it didn't break until I started flailing my nail like crazy, checking for secret spots. Weird.

Thanks for you answers everyone!
