Without spoiling anything, the flame vent puzzle is overall helpful but not a pre-requisite for that dungeon, I've come to discover. Don't lose too much time there.

Chain Dash was first for me, and I'm glad it was. Key to a puzzle for an upgrade chip in one of the dungeons, and it helps get space and quickly get back in on certain mobs.

Thanks! Yeah, I ended up abandoning my progress in the East and just wandered around. Now I'm in the West dungeon area playing around there.

I began the game and got to a point where a skull (presumably a boss) appears on the eastern part of my map. I proceed to the dungeon and start going through.

It's pretty tough. I'm at a part where I believe the game wants me to platform across these flame vents, but I'm not sure if I need some upgrade to do this safely or if it's on me as a player to do something differently that makes it safe.

Which brings me to my questions. Are the dungeons in a certain order? Or is the path up to the player?
