work in progress - for a long while.

Note: this is mostly for self-use, as a cheat sheet to look at while playing the game.

Things I plan to include below are (either as bullet points or links) :
  • list of areas with general notes
  • single-pass full-clear tips
  • all-wp all-quest tips
  • all-super-unique all-sparkly-chests tips
  • quick leveling spots
  • quick farming spots
  • the notable change in drops - (e.g. 4os-when-larzuked polearms from this point on)
  • good 'save points' while playing single-pass
  • + any other useful info
  • achievements (steam-style)
People here could probably know most of the info off the top of their heads,
but I couldn't for example remember if the Hole lvl 2 has a sparkly chest or not...
