Why the actual f*** did you put two knowledges under the Three-tentacled Octopus Boulder section instead of separating them?
Sorry about that! I just reread that and can see why it would be confusing. I edited it. Hope it helps future cliff divers.
The question is, Why NOT? Are you unable to read the descripton?
thank you very much for the hard work!
YW! Happy explores. 🙂
Solid work bro saved me plenty of time knocking all this out!!!!
Glad it helped. Have fun!
helped me alot thanks
YW!
Very Noice!
Thoinks! 🙂
Sir, if you write a guide, keep it consistent with the location screenshots. There’s nothing else needed. No rocket science, no “omg I played this game 10 years”, nothing like that. Add. A. F****. Screenshot. With. A. Location. on. a. map. ***
Start with the Sunset one.
If only I could see your sweet face while you said that to my face. Ha! Anyway, hope you feel better soon. I somehow forgot to take a screenshot of the world map for that one. It’s fixed. Thanks for any grumpy green heads up in the future as well. And I’m starting to feel better now that I know I’m not the only one that can have a mood.
Thanks for your work!
YW! 🙂
How to get knowledge “Kamasylvia Nature Expedition Quest”? I visited all locations mentioned here but it gives 25/26 knowledge in Exploration 1 category
Hello! Looks like there are three with that hint. Did you get that tricky knowledge point where you had to fall down the cliff from the first one? There are actually two knowledges points in that description.
