im stuck atm, how do I get to the temple sections I've been seeing in the newgrounds updates?
Do you mean the inner temple, basically the Trial areas, it's part of the quest for Nymph, and Nymosa, if you finish the first part of the Temple aka saving Nymph, and Nymosa, from totally dangerous situations called being pampered by trading with multiple Foxgirl, and Catgirls, THEN you can proceed under the temple to do the Trials you can choose one of them to participate with you.
Have you met Nymph, and Nymosa, in their village?
In the deeper forest you will meet a hunter, chase him around and find a way to block his path so that you can find where he hides.
After is another quest concerning a certain Alruane, you possibly meet earlier on.
To get to the deeper forest you must know the Fairy Queen, within the abandoned forest, after playing with them ask of the gaping plant, this needs a fully refurbished Milk-Farm, without it you lack the necessary item to go forward, which is Cheese....
