·Multi-source verified (90/91)

The Lands Between are filled with hidden paths, secret areas, and valuable items. Thorough exploration is richly rewarded.

Key Exploration Tips:

  • Look Down: Many hidden paths are below you, requiring careful platforming.
  • Illusory Walls: Hit suspicious walls (especially in dungeons and castles) to reveal hidden passages.
  • Message System: Pay attention to player messages, but be wary of trolls.
  • Map Markers: Use the map markers to remember points of interest, difficult enemies, or unvisited areas.
  • Caves & Tunnels: Always check for small cave entrances, as they often lead to dungeons with valuable loot or bosses.
  • Evergaols: These circular arenas contain optional boss fights that reward powerful talismans or spells.
  • Walking Mausoleums: These colossal structures allow you to duplicate Remembrances, granting you both boss rewards.
