I finished the final boss only to be greeted with this. It turns out that I needed to obtain two items in order to be able to properly purify the final boss and lift the curse on this blighted city.
So I trekked back, realized that an item I had found basically useless after I found it was really the key for unlocking the final item, in a place I’d long forgotten I had to unlock.
I’m so glad I’m playing this game long after the FAQs have been written for it.

Turned off one of the defensive items. Mostly because I wanted one of the additional passive abilities and there’s only two slots for passive, but it’s also helped me get a better feel for the combat rhythm. Not that I didn’t before, but being forced to be more careful does change up the space a bit and makes me more aware of the arrows’ utility.
I’ve also found out that the poison clouds that my arrows now make can also poison me. Rude. Though I do appreciate when effects and environmental dangers have the same rules applied to both the player and the enemy. It doesn’t happen often, but every time I interrupt an enemy attack or knock them into spikes I get a big kick out of it.

I found the new way. A strange underwater prison area. Its real dark, and can only be illuminated but a small item. Seems like a mostly meaningless gimmick but does add to the atmosphere. There’s a weird use of the water to let you use infinite jumps for exploration. It leads to an interesting area with instant death spikes that require careful timing. I’m glad I have the air dash otherwise this would be a lot harder.

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.

I’m gonna try it. I’m gonna try my damnedest to finish Momodora this time. I’m basically allergic to Metroidvania games. I’m hopeless with directions and I don’t enjoy getting lost. I need a GPS to get to my own house sometimes. So I don’t consider it entertainment to do that in a game.
But Momodora has a cute art style and the combat seems fun, even if there’s some gross hints of ~dark souls~ in it. So I’m gonna make a real effort to finish it this time before I fall into the inevitable Metroidvania cycle of getting lost, taking a break and then having to restart because I don’t remember what the hell I was doing.
