It's great to hear from you again! (And woah, that's a staggering amount of battles). :O

It seems that you still have one more big challenge to complete, and it's related to the plushies! There are 9 of them in total, hidden around Artistry Highway - one for each of the 8 party members, plus Arianna. If you tell me which ones you're missing, then I can give hints or tell you where to find them.

You can access the Sky Abyss from the summit of Mt. Dramatica, which is to the east of Wikipedia. :3

The DLC doesn't really change anything about the base game, before or after beating it; except for a couple of places (like one of the street stalls in YouTube) now being able to sell furniture for your house in Etsy.

By the way, did you ever join the BoxxyQuest Discord server? It's not very active at all, but I'd still love to have you there. :D

The ones that I currently have are: Anon, Catie, Til, Shift, Shrimp, Cornelia, Arianna, and Tyalie.

Also, I presume that most of the other places on the map (using the Google gem) are just there for decoration? There are a lot of towers, buildings, and towns you can't access.

And sorry but I don't use Discord.

So it seems like you’re just missing Eddie - he’s near the fountain with the boy running around it, in the middle of some blue mushrooms. Good luck with what comes next! :P

Also yeah, there are a lot of sites you don’t get to visit that are still mentioned in the game, so I wanted to put them on the map to show that it covers the whole Internet.

And no worries about Discord, I’m happy to keep talking in whatever way you prefer!

Got it, and I also found the delivery side quest... but then when I went to the next boss it turns out it was a platforming challenge. Fuck that, quit before even trying to figure out how the mechanics work.

And I can't use Google search to backtrack from that dungeon either... so the last useful save I have is one right before I fought the DLC final boss. I guess I'll beat it again, do the delivery quest again, get the last plush again, but not go into Alwaysland 2, and then, uh, do the Sky Abyss again, I guess...

Bahaha, I don’t really blame you - that battle is very, very difficult (although not impossible!)

You should be able to use the Save Statue at the end of Alwaysland to warp back to the beginning, so there’s no need for all that replaying! D:

Thanks for that. Although there are still a lot of obscure things in this game that I have questions about. For example, what's with the instruction to use an egg against a 'gold enemy' to get a gold egg? I don't even have an egg to begin with.

SpherianGames31 days ago

If you check a certain bush on Artistry Highway in the base game, near the train tracks before the forest area, an Egg will pop out. It didn't have any use besides being a minor healing item (and a Paper Mario reference). So in the DLC, I decided to give it a new use! If you use the Egg in battle against a Karma Chameleon or a Pile o' Gold, it will turn into a Golden Egg that can be sold for a high price.

The game is full of tiny little secrets like that! :P

SirPellucidar30 days ago

And where are the piles of gold again? Sorry, it's been a while since I remember encountering them...

SpherianGames29 days ago

No worries! They’re on the route between YouTube and 4chan. :D

Well I played through the true ending again and beat the final boss a second time (it was easy since I had the bouquet). I think that, apart from the annoying platforming bonuses which I don't feel like ever trying, I've probably explored at least 95% of what the game has in terms of content. I might play it again someday (but not any time soon, as even the mandatory platforming sections piss me off).

But overall I give it an A-. My biggest complaint (besides the platforming) is that my favorite website, YTMND, was only mentioned once... I wanted to visit it! Maybe there could be a special YTMND bonus episode? (YTMND is actually still around... well, it's glitched as of the last few days, but Max will fix it eventually, as he usually does)... I could even write the script for the YTMND adventure, if you would actually let me (probably not going to happen, but I figured I'd offer anyway).
