Let me reiterate a previous hint.
You know how the Misty Woods are just like any other "trail in the woods" map? (after you cross it once, you don't have to go inside again) They all have 2 entry points.
That's all I'll say now xD
Funny enough, I left so many secrets early in the game I kinda ran out of loot for the late game lol. It's basically all mithril and a few rings (the highest tier of accessories) now.
Tho I guess this isn't so bad considering there's no point in finding a powerful item if you don't have any enemies to use it against.
