How do I get help past 10.9 the crystal ball lady says experience more events but im not to sure what refers to i can fight nel again but I dont know if that has anything to do with it and as far as progression goes ive made it to the dark wood in the dread Valley with ruins unlocked and the hero (liam?) Is not a stone anymore.
You can forget these numbers, just talk to the fortune teller, the bartender, look at the map and read the dialogues carefully. The characters who give the quest can also repeat its essence. The lady with the crystal ball hinted to you that you have not made much progress in the plot, the bartender will help with this.
