I have no idea how to get the Soul Fragments for the necklace that lets you keep your inventory. From what I can tell, you need to have iron armor (?) and wander around at night until you find a ghost, but it doesn't seem to be possible to interact with him.
Hi, thanks for the time you dedicated writing this playthrough, it's pretty well done!
Yes, you can collect Soul Fragments from Shy Ghosts, but you can't kill them with attacks. Instead, you need to chase them down and drop an Apple Pie nearby (made with 3 wheats, 2 apples and 1 bucket of milk in an Oven).
About the limited inventory space, did you try crafting a Crate? I kinda hoped this addition would fix early inventory problems, but let me know if it's still bad as it is.
I'm aware the boss spawn killing you can be very frustrating, and although you could use a Bed to set your spawn far enough away, I guess the encounter is still too difficult. I will try to tackle these problems ASAP!
I've got absolutely no idea how to get a bucket or a bucket of milk. I tried the Bag, it doesn't respond. Interacting brings up text. There is no bucket in the crafting stations. I've tried smelting iron ingots in the furnace. The cow does not respond to interacting with an Iron Helmet, Crown, or Death Crown.
I never learned to use a Crate. It does fix inventory problems I guess but with how slow the tools are, especially flint ones, I wouldn't bother making it again.
The boss spawnkilling isn't really a big deal, it's pretty trivial after a while. I just get used to dying since it's unavoidable.
The game has a few inconveniences here and there where nothing tells you what to do, so for example: I was lost on crafting a Death Crown (you need a recently-introduced Death Crown Scroll), farming (wheat seeds can be planted but last I checked they don't work when away from water, and confusing behaviors of the Oven & Furnace.
Hey!
It seems like there was a problem where the wooden bucket wasn't showing up in the workbench recipes. I just pushed a hotfix that fixes that and some other stuff. Being near a cow with a wooden bucket in hands will show the "Milk" interaction upon hovering.
As for the Death Crown Scroll, it isn't really a new feature, that's the only way to craft a Death Crown and spawn the boss since the first Flatlands release. Like The Oracle that is located near spawn implies, the Imps will drop it, then you can just use the scroll with right-click and the recipe will show up on Anvils.
Thanks for your feedback.
