The quick answer

Some routes require a later Phantom Edge or key item. PlayStation coverage reports that completing a story’s Blue Memory Flowers increases Soul’s health. Record a blocked route and return with the required ability rather than assuming every obstacle is immediately solvable.[1]

Read the environment

The Epic preview describes climbable sword-marked cliffs, anchor points suggesting a grappling tool and a hanging sack requiring a bow. These are observations from its first-chapter preview, not a complete launch map.[2]

Keep a small return-route log

  1. Locate

    Record your nearest named bell and the visible obstacle. Avoid relying on an unlabelled screenshot alone.

  2. Identify

    Note the ability you appear to be missing; keep it tentative until the game confirms it.

  3. Revisit

    After obtaining a new exploration tool, revisit your recorded routes and check whether related quests changed.
