Im really stuck in the abyss - please help!

[zuluhero]

Hi,

Can someone please give me a *hint* where i have to go next (just a location would be great! (like open water or kelp forest etc).  I've just got sun form and li, and im in the abyss.  I have found a..well.. thing...i 'think' its a whale?  It's 'nose' is sticking up through a crevice in the floor with spikey things each side?  It says something when you first go near to it, like "i will find you and you will worship me..."?

Ive read that i need a whale song?  but im not even sure if this IS the whale bit ive read so much about!

So i need a hint!

Sorry If im asking the same question for like the millionth time, ive already spoilt small sections for myself by using the "search" function...

Thanks again for your time

That's no whale (although there is a whale somewhere else in the Abyss).   It's not something you can do anything with now; the next area is to the left of it.

Thats not the whale at all.  When you find the whale, which is in the Abyss, you will clearly be able to see its a whale, which you have to play the whale song too.

 But as far as getting on with the story line, just search around a bit more,pull up your minimap and look for places that you haven't been to. Thats how you progress in this game at all..

well, ive pulled up my map (and isn't it annoying that it doesn't show you which bits youve explored unless you are in the zone you want to look at?  You have to get to the zone you want to look at - then open your map :S) but anyway...

Ive obviously already explored the tunnel to the left of what i *thought* was the whale, but it leads to a man-made entrance with the same symbol as Li's cave.  I have Li with me but he doesn't do anything :S

Ive explored pretty much everywhere else (the whole map) and now the only things that seem to block me in alot of the already explored areas is steam vents.

Oh and ive found a huge jellyfish 'boss' just above the save crystal i have used, but he is far too hard for me to defeat

 Go back to that entrance and just try fooling around, with the gate along with li..you have to get past that . !

Ahh ok - ill just try there again!  Thanks for the advice, ive really been pulling my hair out!  Its nice to know that im kinda on the right track though

If you are using a gamepad it may not be possible to open the gate.
And if the steam is still blocking you, you need another form you get in Mithalas. Not that hard to find if you have Nature form (kelp forest).

another form in Mithalas - not just Beast form?  Hmmm....  I have nature form so ill go have another look around - without giving away too much, does it have anything to do with that one cavern (it has a save crystal in it) that Najia says something like "hmm.. i'll have to return here later..."?

You are right - i am using a Gamepad!  I used the mouse to look around in that area (with the gate) and was able to get past it!

Thanks again for all the replies guys ^^
