Hints and Spoilers
-
Meadows Crypts:
- Crypts have walls that are destroyable with a pickaxe.
- Crypts could also have a room that seems impossible to get across. There is a way, and there are stones to help you back up to the entrance if you fall.
- The Banshee mini boss can be summoned in the crypts using the surtling core found in the same room.
-
Black Forest Caves: Both caves have the same shaped entrance. Cave 2 will need to have the ground leading into it mined away to access the gateway.
