It should work again. Thanks for letting me know!
Awesome!
Now, unrelated, I got a few questions (spoilers abound)

What does this fresco(?) found all over the Tower of Bones’ dungeon, plus near the Unearthed Blademaster and then the Heart of the Traitor, represent? (On that note: who is the Traitor? Whom did he betray?
Who is this statue the bird knight is sitting by (when you find the second secret)? Is this another saint?
When you find the third secret, why does the rabbit appear where the Stoatlike Shaman is
Why does there seem to be a dead body in the non-weapons salesman’s place (when you teleport into the house behind him)? Is that the daughter he mentions…?
Now, in terms of gameplay: what exactly does dark damage do? Fire weapons burn grass, but what about dark-type ones? Do they work better on stoats and kangaroos, who are ostensibly fire-type, Pokémon-style?
The first art is just a crypt with bones in it, the second a grave marker. The traitor is Saint Sebas, since that is his tomb. Why he would be considered a traitor is still a mystery, although clearly not everbody thinks of him that way.
The dialogue is meant to hint that the Rabbit is associated with the tower, although I kinda screwed up putting him on the bridge totally out of place after he leaves the letter. That positioning is meaningless.
The body in the house is not the daughter, but maybe what she brings to the merchant.
Dark aspect does more damage the more armor the target has, but only Lizardmen and glowing enemies have armor, so it's not particularly useful to the player.
In the sequel, armor is more like a barrier that can be removed with attacks, so dark damage instead gets bonus armor burn with training.
The traitor is Saint Sebas
OK, this just sparks more questions. Who’s buried at the gravesite? Did the daughter steal that body? Is she the one who unsealed the crypts?
Also, who are the Lizardmen? The ones who are there with the kangaroos? I thought those were stoats, too…
Also also, did you see my other question about the eyes?
