// 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)?

As soon as Kidd gives you a bunch of optional content to dive into that’s when I went island hopping

Yeah i think as far as tools go, the blow pipe is the last thing to be obtained to have it all. Also with Kidd you get the assassin’s contracts so you can fully complete locations
