The Momodora Diaries are a chronicle through Momodora Under the Moonlight.

I’m lost. I’m hopelessly lost. I knew this would happen it always does. somehow I’ve explored all the available map and haven’t been able to get to any of the obstacles. It’s nothing but dead ends and frustration. I must have run through the three or four available areas seven times trying to figure out what I’m missing.

I’m missing something right? There’s always something obvious you’re missing. something that isn’t telegraphed and is part of the cool mystique but goddammit this is exactly why I can’t deal with this backtracking nonsense. I swear I must have spent over an hour being lost. Give me a damn waypoint. Metroid Fusion had it right all along.

The worst part is walkthroughs can’t help. I feel like I’m missing something. The written walkthrough I can only follow step by step, and by all accounts I should be able to get there but then it just takes me to a dead end I can’t break through!!

The video walkthroughs are impossible to search and I swear I did something out of sequence accidentally. None of this seems familiar. 

I’m lost I’m lost I’m lost I’m lost. Oh god what if I never find it and have to start the game over? What if I have to play all those bosses again, lose that progress and never—

Ah.

I found it. it was in a place I’d already been, with a very tiny connecting platform that’s easy to mistake as something I shouldn’t go into, since its full of water. you know, that thing that kills you every other time?

I guess I’ll check this area and see if it has anything that’ll get me through that roadblock two steps ahead.
