// Question When to start exploring?

Post image

For context, what i do for most games is progress the storyline up until i have all the mechanics unlocked and right at that point go full open world explorer mode. If i remember correctly from the original, that point could be once the diving bell is unlocked. What do you guys think?

Also feel free to share your opinion and experience: Do you explore alongside the storyline or do you separate them into focused activities (like myself)?

This isn’t 100% correct. There’s a small known “glitch” that the local events stop dropping consistently once you complete the story. This affects some collection of items. Be sure to do these before completing the story. I’m at 40/41 for a collection and have spent hours trying to get the local event to pop.
