I just blew up the Filth Factory on the island and have basically wrapped up that area of the game. I liked having an overarching story.

So far I’ve answered the Anana with only what they want to hear. I think it’s too late to throw a wrench into hhe works, but was that wise?

I realized today that certain compositions of monsters, such as a drake with ten fire lizards, means you’re not supposed to do it that way. It’s a red herring to get to the sage Philomos, or a Pac-Man ghost to avoid while you try to make your way through the woods, The encounter with a pack of sliths and the drake guarding the treasure are optional “superfights” at endgame-level levels. I dunno, are you supposed to ever get through the gorge through the mountains in Krizsan Province, killing the group of troglodytes? I’m glad I’m playing it as intended; if I could steamroll everything I wouldn’t have noticed that.

I think I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be at my level.

It’s suggested I go east – I think east; you can get a ferry there. I wxplorer the western part of Krizsan Province before taking the ferry to Begain Island and cleared that out. Am I expected to have finished that before moving on? I have a feeling you can stop the plague of slimes.
