Don't forget to retrieve the Urchin Armor from the series of bubbles above where you found the egg - the armor hurts anything that touches you, and is very useful for bosses that you can cling on to (the Creator, Sea Dragon, etc.)
Yeah, I actually had that loooooong before I posted here. BTW, what's that condor for that's above that particular piece of armor? He just seems to flap around a bunch in one spot. Getting to his nest is such a complete pain that I've only managed to do it twice, but there's not a single thing there. For a detail that's THAT hard to reach, you'd think there'd be some point to him. That armor though was easier to find than some of this other stuff. For example...
I was mainly wondering if you had found the temple in The Veil. The form you get from it pretty much allows you to go anywhere in the game.
Temple? Eh, never mind, this is getting into spoiler territory. I'll find whatever it is you're talking about eventually. (I've been everywhere in the veil so far as I can see. Maybe there's an entire zone I haven't found yet. Who knows.)
