I'm kinda stuck in Valhalla

There's a mimir statue that supposedly needs a mantra read in front of it to get a ladder spawning. The lower level leads nowhere. I have met a naked guy and hit him to have him teleport somewhere, I don't know where he went.

I was able to kill Nidhogg by completely cheesing him with the gun and got [spoiler]the claw]/spoiler] from the next area but I haven't found any place to use it.

I wish I could remember where he went after the second time I hit him.

e: okay, I found some crab miniboss near the save tablet. So far unable to beat him.

i actually dunno where to find the spooky naked man in his...final? appearance in the zone he's in after hitting him like 2-3 times, which i feel would be a more pertinent road to follow than loving around in the ice/fire funhouse of gently caress you

e: lmao he's a sneaky little gently caress hiding behind foreground stuff like that

I dunno if you're stuck at the same part as me but I figured it out by accident.

you need to go talk to the bearded geezer again At "Anterior chamber of cataclysm" and he'll open a wall for you. How am I supposed to figure this out? Earlier he just said something about a huge danger coming.

Well, I got quickly stuck after the boss fight again. I guess I can't progress in this area anymore without the mantra. But the only areas I have unlocked right now are Annfwn and Fire & Ice treetops and neither look very welcoming.

e: I'm having trouble with cryptic quests and progression just a few hours in. I have no hope with this game.

You should take notes whenever you see something you can't do now. It makes it much easier to figure out what you've unlocked whenever you get a new item.

I like how if you're even slightly paying attention to the tablets and NPCs you realize almost immediately that you're loving everything up and hastening the end of the world or whatever, just to get some ARCHEOLOGY done. The first goddamn thing you do is free Loki, and it only escalates from there.

Wow, this seems like absolutely crazy since I was pretty sure those are the only two areas I can go to right now. No idea what I've missed.

Unless you mean Corridor of blood which takes me to all kinds of areas that feel like I'm certainly not supposed to be in?

e: Also wow stupid me not catching the whole Loki thing immediately. The snake dropping venom on his head and everything.

e2: I've found at least 2 area entrance but they are sealed behind gates that won't open for me.

especially when you go back and talk to the guy right outside where you fought the boss again and all the hugely obvious signs and lore bits make it clear beforehand that this guy is gonna be all for making things go to poo poo really quick. and he's ecstatic about it.

Get exploring in annfwn, it's the next reasonable step up in difficulty and branches out into two more areas.

I'm stuck in GOTD, cheesed the miniboss unicorn by doing him upside down and throwing spears from the area above where he can't hit me at all, but now I'm stuck - I got three pedestals that always shock me when I try to place weights on them, any small hint about what I'm missing?

You can actually slightly sequence break some of them by throwing caltrops down in them, but doesn't seem like it gives you any upgrades quicker anyway.
