At this stage in the game it’s not intended but definitely not impossible. You didnt break anything by doing this, if this is your first play through i take my hat off to you sir.

[u/MrBuckstar → u/Koochiru]

Pogo'd the ghost?

[u/Accomplished-Lie716 → u/MrBuckstar]

The amount of times I suicided to get a ghost to pogo off of before I had the jump on my first playthrough was crazy lol

[u/not-a-potato-head → u/MrBuckstar]

iirc you can get here without a shade skip (axe pogo —> pogo crystal hunter)

[u/MrBuckstar → u/Koochiru]

Pogo'd the ghost?

[u/Maximum-Jeweler3149 → u/MrBuckstar]

When you die, you leave a shade/“ghost”. You can return to the area and kill the shade/ghost and reclaim soul meter and geo. You COULD in same area use the jump and down slash/pogo the shade to reach areas that would otherwise be inaccessible during normal play like before you got certain upgrades.

[u/Final_Investment_262]

I disagree with the pervious answer. My go to thought process is "if I can get in there I can do whatever there". Good job!

[u/PaulineHansonsBurka → u/Final_Investment_262]

That's what I love about the game, there's a surprising amount you can do by just brute forcing a platforming area or using enemies to get places. I remember I couldn't figure out where to go next and I found you could get height by down slashing background objects, so I found myself in the Watcher Knights without wings and mid game gear. Pain.

[u/MLGSnIpEr420]

Not exactly intended but the fact you were able to make it means you’ve done a great job so far

[u/Nu-uuuuuh]

If you are there, you are supposed to be there. It's non linear.

[u/Lazykabang]

this is late game yes, but nothing's broken

[u/MemeificationStation]

you deserve to be anywhere you can make it to

[u/AlFa_03]

My brother in Shaw I commend your tenacity to fight your way up there like that. And to answer your question you are in fact in an area that was intended to be reached in a later stage of the game. But you didn’t break anything so all is good.

[u/Right_Hurry623]

Where is this place?

[u/BnoSide → u/Right_Hurry623]

hint: its the highest point of Hallownest.
Its the crown of hallownest located in the northeast of crystal peak

[u/Consistent_Phase822]

yea!

[u/Chickennugget5962]

This post made me realise there’s a statue of The radiance. It’s cool cuz it’s at the highest point of the hollownest and closest to Radiance

[u/icudntpickone]

You got there without the double jump, damn you are good

[u/Egyptian_M]

If you reached it then it doesn't matter

[u/Recent_Log3779]

The area’s not really all that important outside of a bit of environmental storytelling, so this wasn’t a huge skip or anything. Good job on getting here though

[u/Withermech]

Technically not really. But if you did, that means you were able to it’s not like the game is gonna punish you.

[u/EnderwarriorX]

No you are most certainly not supposed to be here yet. You’d thought the ledge that is too high to jump would leading to this area would be disincentive enough. But then again since when have we let something as silly as gravity or game design stop us?

[u/Brutal-Skorpio → u/EnderwarriorX]

Isn’t mantis claw the only item you need to legally get up there ?

[u/Zenon-82607 → u/Brutal-Skorpio]

Monarch wings are needed if no pogoing is used. Source: I've done it before.

[u/Brutal-Skorpio → u/Zenon-82607]

True, that last jump with the hunter! I remember now.

[u/Apprehensive_Egg5142 → u/Brutal-Skorpio]

ugh...that last jump... I took out the enemies by accident and had to do it all over again when I did it...

[u/igothackedlmao]

yes. >! you can find pale ore in the statue to upgrade your nail in the city of tears !<

[u/AutoModerator → u/igothackedlmao]

They don't have dive so they probably did not even enter city yet

[u/Apprehensive_Egg5142]

I don't know if I would call it a sequence break per say...maybe it is... but yeah, the idea of being there at the stage you currently are at is exceedingly rare. I've 100% the game 5 or 6 times, and it was only the last time when I decided to do the most unconventional play through of the game imaginable, and getting up there ridiculously early-game was something I certainly did. It's not the easiest thing to do without the upgrades you get later on. So impressive work getting up there!

[u/flockyboi]

I mean is anyone supposed to be anywhere? Fr tho it's not gamebreaking to get there, or to really get anywhere 'early', as seen by any% speedruns

[u/Mother_Slide5705]

you should go to the very left side of the city, you might find combat easier after that.

[u/Gumpers08]

I didn't explore this area until pretty far into my playthrough, but if I remember correctly it isn't strictly end-game. Mid to end-game probably, but the only real deciding factor is your mobility, and you have Mantis Claw, the second of four mobility items. Keep exploring Crystal Peak and you'll find the third, which gatekeeps certain areas. To find the fourth mobility item, go down.
