on the far left from where you spawn, there should be a path down into the fog. from there you jump (/teleport?) across and do some platforming to get up to the castle. that should? work.

i'm not sure if it's connected, but i just killed a couple corgis, and for 2/3 of them, i got partying xp for using a combat attack... the last one, i didn't.

can't say anything about the antler, but that underscore is still in the enemy's name.

having the same problem.

he still sinks through the ground - it's been happening (rarely and randomly) since i started playing again in January 2020. but it's ... well, yet another thing i forgot to report, lol

having the same problem.

update: at this point i'm missing large portions of the story. i clicked a few more times and have no idea what is happening anymore. Crypt Keeper has been replaced with more text:

update: it seems it *also* happens when you try to put a bunch of things into the bank (say, 100+) and there's another item in one of the slots. so in this case i had like 300 tin ore from golems, but i had linen padding in my bank. it had to skip over that slot and go to another one, and both times something like this happened, it gave me the "ran out of bank space" notice

small correction:
"i just made 3 pearlescent helmets"

this is happening to me, too.

i have more screenshots. some of the manestyles don't have thumbnails yet so i couldn't point out which ones they were, but i could for most of them.
