Progression Overview

The cleanest first playthrough is to follow the active story objective, learn the movement toolkit as it arrives, and postpone inaccessible routes until you have the right traversal option.

  • Use the central area to reconnect routes between regions.
  • Treat a clear ability gate as a return-later marker.
  • Check the Boss Guide before a major encounter.

Regions and Boss Checkpoints

The game has five major regions, each ending in a boss. This hub keeps the route broad on purpose: it avoids naming an exact boss order or route sequence until full-game footage confirms it.

  • Finish the current region objective before deep cleanup.
  • A boss checkpoint is a useful moment to review upgrades and collectibles.
  • Link unfinished exploration to the relevant collectibles guide.

Ability Unlocks and Backtracking

Jumping, dashing, grappling and gliding form the confirmed core movement set. When a new movement option changes how you read the environment, revisit obvious height, distance and gap checks.

  • Dash for short horizontal gaps.
  • Grapple for traversal anchors and routes.
  • Glide helps convert height into distance.

Common Progression Problems

If the route feels blocked, first confirm the active objective, then look for a missed interaction near the most recent story landmark. Do not assume an inaccessible route is required immediately.
