Very good game for a cheap price. My main criticism would be that while each area has a different ambiance and setting to it, most of them feel the same as to how you traverse them. After completing the map and playing for over 30 hours, including plenty of backtracking, I don't think I could point at even half the rooms and recall what exactly was in said room. Contrast that with the all-time greats of SotN and Super Metroid where the gameplay is considerably worse but the total map and each area's design/rooms was so much more memorable to me.

I didn't do the boss rush and a few other things.

Hey, guys, I think I'm stuck in some logical loop...

I'm at the Crystal peak now, beaten the first phase of Crystal Guardian...and to reach the second (enraged) stage of the boss I need the Monarch Wings from the other side of the gameworld.

...but I can't reach the location of Monarch wings without using Crystal Heart ability, which, in turn, I will have only after that second stage Crystal boss fight which can't be reached without Monarch wings.

Am I missing something? :badnews:

You cans do a few things, the most useful on is to

Get the monarch wings from the lost vessel in the Ancient Basin
You’re also getting near the “cleanup” phase of the game. So you can go around collecting mask/vessel shards and hunting for pale ore, nail arts, charms.

You can also head to Kingdom’s Edge or
The Hive
and complete the content there, but it will be harder.

Alternatively if you’re extremely masochistic I believe you can
enter the Queen’s Gardens with only Isma’s tear
, but I wouldn’t recommend it.

I got wings & crystal heart, long before that I completed the Kingdom's Edge (my sequence of walkthrough is probably weird). Should I go to the Abyss to obtain the black barrier-removing cloak?

Then yes the Shade Cloak is your next step. Colosseum of Fools is probably doable now too, although depending on how many masks/ores you have the latter two trials might be tricky.

Oh there’s also Zote the Mighty/Gray Prince Zote and The Grimm Troupe, but Grimm is probably the most difficult fight outside of the Godhome content, and Zote is no slouch either.
