It’s ok, I doubt I would have thought to do that on my own lol. And thanks for the tip! I believe I address this in the next part :) (or the part after, I’m not quite sure where it’s gonna fall yet lol).
I'm sure, once players got their eyes on that sword, they'd beat their head against the wall until they figured out the sewer grate thing by accident. Overall, it's all optional so if you don't figure it out before beating the game, you will for completion.
That’s true, I probably would have figured it out eventually, and the upgrades/souls behind them aren’t necessarily required for any of the bosses if you play well enough. I just wish they had put in a natural way of tutorializing it, like they did with firing arrows through fire in the Witch’s Estate.
Like it makes sense with the level design looking back, but usually in games with this mechanic, you also have the ability to jump lol. Oh well, it is what it is!
