Since I keep writing comments, I’ve decided to limit them to replies under this comment. I will henceforth be calling them “Elfie’s Research Notes”, discussing what I’ve found in the game so far. I will be using the spoiler tag so as to prevent future spoils.
Elfie's Research Notes
This is Elfie reporting in! Just in case anyone finds this note way later, here’s what I’ve done so far:
-The first boss I found was this strange tentacle thing? It dropped something called “the Watcher’s Eye”, as well as a magic key! I used the key on my home altar and it turned all purple. Still no idea what the Eye thing does, but it looks cool, so I think that’s worth keeping it around. I also managed to cross the void for the first time!! I used to be able to stand on the patches of grass in the void, but now even those spots cause the void damaging effect. Sorry void base, I’m going to have to let you go. You served me well!
-After hunting down more of the spooky purple bat things, I got enough dark aura to use on the crystal tower. Same thing as last time happened, but this time the beams of light were purple, too. Once I activated all the towers, another boss monster appeared; I think it might have been royalty, since it dropped a crown? I still have the crown, but none of the towers were reacting to it. I’m going to store it with the Watcher’s Eye; it seemed lonely in there.
-I took a stroll over to the crystal tower to find that the beams of purple light were still there, but pointing in places different than the three towers. I couldn’t extend the beams anymore, so I approximated where I thought they’d be and headed out! Along the way, I found many of these new strange alter things that, when I gave aura to, told me “a boss has been marked on my map” (I didn’t have a map at the time .v.). I also got a bit lost and found a new red-void biome! I call it a biome because it looks different, but standing there for even a little bit kills me instantly. Many lives were lost that day in service of science.
-On my way back to the red-void biome, I was surprised to see yet another Void boss monster appear from the dissolution! It ultimately wasn’t that hard to slay (thank you whisp pet! <3), but it did give me quite the fright! It had dropped a “Void Heart Shard”, which got me thinking - if there’s one shard, there must be more! Upon searching around the world, I eventually found those maps the alters were talking about. The map made it clear that there was the red-void all around the world, but it also showed that, much like the normal void, there were spots beyond it as well. I spent many days after that forging ahead into the red void in the name of science, finding rivers that cut through, but ultimately perishing all the same.
-While fishing, I checked the new catalogues I got of monsters and bosses, but all the bosses and monsters were empty. No matter how many monsters I killed, they would not appear in the log. I found more of the boss map alters and gave aura to them, but they claimed there was no boss to find. I guess I won’t know what those bosses names were. None of the other alters want my auras (dark or otherwise), so I’ve been stockpiling them for exploration.
-And that’s where I’ve been for the past several days! I found four new biomes (flower field [AVOID AT ALL COSTS], dark forest, jungle, and mushroom grove), and am continuing to carve my own little pocket in the dissolution. I hope this letter finds someone out there in this quantum space. Maybe if I keep walking back and forth enough times I’ll find someone to talk to… There’s always a healing soup for you!
Safe travels.
