Comment on I finished Mina the Hollower 100%! (Plus short review)

That’s rough, but the game does generally guide you to the right order. NPCs in the town lead you to the crypt, and the newspaper always points you to the next area. When you beat the crypt, it tells you to go to Nox’s Bayou, then Septemburg, etc.
The order is also listed in the in-game manual, but the game never really tells you it’s there…

I picked up on the townsfolk talking about the crypt, but its a very weak hint for ‘you should go here first’, when there’s townfolk complaining about all sort of issues. I had loosely had the crypt in mind, as I was exploring, but I never found it before getting pulled forward by the Spark dropping into Septembersburg, and I just figured ‘if the game didn’t want me here, then it shouldn’t be possible to be here’. Which, I think is a natural assumption, considering how Zelda coded the game is visually and mechanically.
Its just, the game isn’t structurally a zelda game, so that was a bad assumption on my part. I just wish there was a bit more communication, that the game is structurally Elden Ring, not Oracle of Ages.
