Delaying Gwen's everdoor

[Dan Niton]

So I notice that the first spirit that I would have to bring to the everdoor in order to progress further is Gwen which would then gimme a flower that allow me to finally get the ice breaker upgrade. And the rest of the spirit's quest lies beyond the ice.

So my question is, is Gwen the first spirit to help pass on a must to progress or is there anyone else I can bring to the everdoor first like summer or atul (especially atul cause of the complains about his banging)!?

The reason why I wanted gwen to be the last spirit I would ferry to the everdoor is cause she is the first spirit in the game I encounter and she felt more like the closest companion to me given that the game's tutorial lessons were taught by her.

Taking Gwen to the Everdoor is the final step in the tutorial, so it's designed to be inevitable. Other spirits offer you more choice in who leaves before whom, but there are still limits - the two spirit flowers for the Rockbreaker can only be a specific pair (departed in either order), before having a genuine choice about who departs in order to afford the Mist Cleaner - there are a handful of spirits that don't require anything from beyond the mist, and you can choose from among them.

Once you have access to the full map, you have pretty much full control over the order you let the remaining spirits go, though some will require more work to get rid of, while others will be waiting to be let go pretty much immediately.
