Common Questions

No. It is a comfort route for exploration value and beginner safety.

When should I explore the Depths?

Go deeper once map coverage and gear feel steadier. Early on, activate a few Lightroots and create safe fast-travel points.

Should I clear all shrines before main quests?

No. Clear them along your route, then do focused shrine cleanup when hearts or stamina feel low.
