#all they had to do was make dragonhead inaccessible until you activate the quest

It turns out you can accidentally play the game in the wrong order to some extent.

———————————

So… apparently Mineru is supposed to be a secret that you don’t stumble across until after the four main areas are dealt with. But the game makes no attempt to bar you from coming across that quest on your own. Which means you can fuck up delivery of the main storyline by exploring and rolling with whatever you stumble into. So that’s kind of a bummer.

I found this out solely because I was curious if there was a way to see better on Dragonhead Island and found out that the storm clears as part of the Mineru quest. Which I’ve already completed. So essentially I have to catch everyone else up to where I’m at to get that to trigger properly.

(I also came across the construct factory way too early and was like “this is clearly something for later I guess”)

I am glad I didn’t do Mineru last though because the Lightning Temple boss was definitely a better one to end on.
