Echoes of the Eye - No Spoilers but I just have to say this
I still have more to do but...
The EotE title card showed because I did something... final. I think it's the thing I was supposed to do.
And f#&* ... What a situation.
@joel@fosstodon.org @irgndsondepp@gts.da-miez.de - if you need to talk about it, I'm here!

@paul I'm interested to hear which parts you skipped to get to the ending. I feel like I needed all the hints the game would give me for the final challenge.
Although...I did notice that I could drop my lantern, I just got scared and never walked too far from it. Otherwise I would have jumped ahead quite a bit.

@irgndsondepp@gts.da-miez.de dropping the lantern was something I did when trying to pick other things up - it just so happened to be in an area where what that gave me became clear.
Then I did what any good bug tester would do... try to break the system! and found myself on the useful side of lock 2
The third one I am going to hold back on for now (unless you've got across bridge 3 yet?) as for me it was accidental due to some other things that happened during that particular loop and a particular thing I was trying to do at the time. the clues are there though.

@paul I finished it earlier today. 😁
That third bridge was very fun. I didn't discover any of the hacks without a hint, so I always got super excited when I saw one. Except the one about dying. I ignored that for "obvious" reasons. 😅

@irgndsondepp@gts.da-miez.de Excellent - what an experience!
I was generally using the dropping of the lantern quite a lot to be able to see a path through. (I also got the "Oof Ouch, My Bones" achievement).
The third bridge... well let's just say I had a crash landing that hurt quite a lot then I jumped in the fire when going to sleep and was pleasantly surprised. I was trying to work out the towers at the time anyway... so when I tried again... "huh!".
I have since found the archive that explains this too, but I have no idea how you'd get there without knowing this as there's an alarm tower right there above the lift!!

@paul oh fun. So you never figured out the other way to trick the alarm turrets? You actually only need to die once for the final turrets at the end. Everything else can be done without dying. 🙂

@irgndsondepp@gts.da-miez.de nope. I figured if I didn't light the candles and conceal my flame I could get past but isn't there the light fixtures around the central well as well?
Oh no, there's going to be a way to turn all the lights off in that area isn't there... :facepalm:
