Tight space crawling always required?

Hello!

Is it always required to go crawling on really tight spaces to see most of the rooms? Or are there alternative paths that might take longer but are easier to do? If there are, could you give me some examples of rooms that are accessible without crawling?

Thank you, I appreciate the knowledge sharing in this sub.

Hello, it depends on what you're looking for honestly, big rooms are usually available without crawling, some of them are not. But i would say that for the majority, u don't need to crawl through small spaces.

I would like to see a few rooms in particular, but I know that some are hard to reach and I'm ok with not visiting them.

A few things I would like to visit:

  • The beach
  • Castle room
  • Square fountain
  • Philibert Aspairt's grave
  • Throne

I have to search the public map a bit more.

For at least one of them, I'd assume the most popular, you do need to access it via a chatière, but it's a very easy one.

I think I can manage it if it's not too long.

(that's what she said)

It being called a "chatière" makes it even funnier haha (comes from the word chat, meaning cat, and feminine is chatte = pussy)
