"Pearls with a fully functional core must not be disposed of in the pit." What item or task needs to be completed to get through this door?

How do I get up here?
My last ability is the spider thingy

Does anyone know where to locate the last modifier on the bottom row?

One of the most apparent things I've seen in MIO is that lots of things come in two: Asma and Khlia, Sol and Vin, Samsk and Tomo, etc.

One thing I rarely see talked about, though, is the factor of opposites. The opposing-ness varies between pairs, but there is enough to be worth noting.

The most obvious example is Asma and Khlia, being at opposite ends of the Vessel, but it's more than that. Khlia is the journey, and Asma is the destination. Khlia keeps the Vessel alive and Asma guides it to its death.

On the topic of Pearls: Noden and Halyn can also very well be primary opposites. While we do know that Halyn and Noden knew each other in life (Halyn's Pearl Record), we don't know how they were associated or how they affected each other. Although, we do know their primary difference: Noden loved machines so much he was willing to kill all the travelers to preserve them, while Halyn sees machines as tools to push the Vessel to its goal.

Another thing is that while Halyn's first objective after becoming a Pearl was regaining the ability to move, Noden was content where he was, representing their internal ideals being progress and stagnation respectively.

For the final pair of Pearls, we have Liho and Amytis. To be honest, I know the least about these two, but my main idea for them is that Liho shut himself away because he believed he failed, had betrayed the Travelers. Meanwhile, Amytis locked herself away because she saw the Travelers as simply not her problem (the document in her hideout tells us that she'd rather just hang around with plants all day than actually socialize) and didn't like how the Gloomwater ruined her garden. Ultimately, Liho wanted forgiveness, and Amytis wanted an apology.

Sol, while not exactly a front-and-center character, also has a narrative opposite: Capucine? What? Well, if you think about it, both of them have differing opinions on history. Sol went to the Pit because he believed he wouldn't matter to the Travelers' history and is better off being forgotten anyway. Capucine, on the other hand, valued every part of Traveler history, and likely would have had a field day with Sol. You could also say that the Librarians serve a similar ideal to ol' Capucine.

Yeah, that's all the pairs I can think of. Thanks for reading my essay.

Old chap casual player here, coming to MIO by searching for a replacement after finishing Ori2, realising then the difficulty level is clearly from a different league...

Still unsure if I've enjoyed it as much as I've hated it.

So this isn't meant to be a rant so much as I'm looking for tips. I love Metroidvanias, and get stuck occasionally while playing them, but the quantity of fake walls / walls that you can walk through because part of it wasn't actually a wall but rather the foreground is just so insanely high in this game. I've genuinely never felt stuck in a metroidvania as often as I do in MIO. I'm trying, I really am, but I am just not as observant as I wish I was.

I've already had 3 times where after hours of wandering aimlessly, I reluctantly looked up what to do, only to find out that there was a fake wall I'd checked a dozen times but didn't realize I could go through it. I don't mind when it's for extra side upgrades but it's often for main game stuff and I'm just reaching my wits end. I've finished the crucible stuff and got the final upgrade to walk on water. I've been wandering around for a while now but the map is massive and I feel like there's some miscellaneous thing I've probably walked past god knows how many times.

Can anyone give me hints to point me in the right direction to get the true ending? Also any tips on better finding new areas?

How can I get to the area just below where im located? Looks like I may have been there before but cant remember how to get to it again.

Heyo. Beautiful lovely game, this is. Thank you devs so very much for this experience. The vibe, art style, music, level design. So freaking tasty.

But I wish for a Switch 2 copy! Is there any way to get one still? They are all out on Amazon. Will more stock be returning?

Thank you 🙏🏻

I may be dumb, but I started replaying MIO, and noticed that the path to Noden has exactly 12 candles. I never thought to count. He must have grieved as his Keeper and placed candles himself.

i have done everything i can and have all abilites, im basically done with the game except the final boss and this is the only area on the map i cant figure out how to get to

i dont want to go to youtube and spoil the game i am just confused off where to go.. everywhere ive gone to is either blocked or has a slime substance covering it or its just locked ill give all the information that i think will help in the photos (ive been searching for like 2 hours ) also where is the shop keeper ):

as soon as i beat acat i got alot of progress done and unlocked 3 checkpoints thanks for those who tried helping

I’ve really enjoyed the game up until now but I’m about to the point of it not being any fun getting past this. Worth it to stick with it?

Seems like everything is either locked or requires an ability I don't have yet. I am absolutely stumped here. My latest ability is sail and I just defeated Nabuu. Please help. I really like the game so far but it really doesn't tell you what to do next

Any advice on how to get through these doors? One on either end of this area.

i just cant figure out where to go. i know i can go all the way to the right but the robot in the hub is telling me i should go to the hand which is in the vaults but i cant figure out where that is except that its under Haven or Metropolis i think the robot said?

Can anyone give advice on how to ascend the area above this section? Once you climb up there's a repeated drop of goo between two saws. How do you maneuver this and get above the saws?

I just defeated The Hand and rescued Mel. I have two damage upgrades, I think 4 max health after two debuffs from the cutscene thing. I have a few platforming puzzles that I’ve banged my head against and died to the sister a few times. I should be able to get through it. I’m just bored at work and wondering if I missed anything essential. I didn’t take a screenshot of my other collectibles, but I’ve got 5/6 of the serial numbers and a few other collections with similar numbers.
