whats a game that you got significantly far into, only to realize you were doing something wrong or missing a key feature/ability altogether? (lemmy.one)

This is fairly recent, but I was playing through a good chunk of Zelda TotK after the training area without the glider. I thought going towards the castle was supposed to be towards the end, so I wound up crawling up the great plateau to the old temple of time hoping to find it.

I was trying to play without spoilers, but luckily a friend set me in the right direction

The glider placement was a lot less obvious in TOTK for sure.

Similarly, I was completely ignorant about what the chasms were for until 2 days in when my friend casually drops that she's been exploring [redacted because spoiler markdown isn't working for me] and I went "Wait, there's a WHAT?"

I'd missed a pretty critical side quest and I probably wouldn't have noticed if my friend hadn't told me.

Times like these are when our inclination to ignore quests for later really bites us in the behind...

I also ignored them for way too long.

When I finally decided to drop down and discovered the old mine with everything else that place has to offer (trying not to spoil), I was a bit pissed for not exploring earlier.

It also took me waaaay to long to realize the maps are "connected" and so are shrines/lightroots...
Just randomly noticed it after probably 50 hours in-game

The game even gives you hints that the connection is there on the loading screens 😁
