Title: Almost done with the game. Will I be allowed to keep exploring? **Spoilers**
Post by: Neuromante on February 10, 2011, 01:27:13 pm

Hello all!

After over 14 hours, I think I'm on the final boss (In the deepier part of the abyss, the one who kidnaps Li in statue form and then ran away), but I got a strange "Once you beat him you will not be able to explore further" feeling. I know I got several things to be discovered (over three bosses, some locations, recipes, etc given the achievements I got blocked yet, plus several treasures, the fact that I can't go through steam streams), and I would like to know if, after kicking this final boss ass I will be allowed to explore further on the game or if I will have to reload the last savegame to track back all my way to "the veil".


(Please notice I'm just asking about the ability to continue after the final boss fight, not on hints on how to get the things I don't have yet, I wanna discover them by myself, thanks ;) )

You're allowed to save immediately before the final boss, and you won't have to swim all the way back to keep exploring.

Does that strike the right balance between being informative and avoiding spoilers? (:

Oh, but you can always just say "Yeah, when the final boss is defeated you will have to re-load your previous savegame to keep exploring" or "No, you can still exploring after defeating the final boss". Although I'm guessing I've done right taking the bus (http://www.answersingenesis.org/assets/images/articles/am/v2/n3/sea-turtle-2.jpg) to upper places before finishing him off.
(It's just it's not the same reloading the game after you already had defeated the boss than playing and end your game with the boss defeat :V)

(Very clever placement, to be honest. Veeery clever placement)

There is no save after the final boss. AKA, you explore before the battle and are able to keep doing it over and over.

I meant, you can defeat the final boss at ANY time now, seeing you'll always end up back at the save game. You could go explore, or defeat the final boss.
If you defeat the boss you'll end up back at the save game again and are able to explore again.
