Thanks! Trying not to be hand-holded but I got past the part where the eggs-hatched and had that dialogue between them when I went towards the direction of the factory. Not exactly sure where I'm heading off next....maybe I overlooked the dialogue?
You're heading down to where the second chimera encounter took place (the first time the egg chimera was seen) - after seeing the dialogue in the canals, you can go past the part that was blocked off before. Please don't feel bad about asking questions - it's good to know when the given directions aren't as clear.
