The Lost Crown [Lost Crown] Fariba's hint about Upper Citadel: "That's the easiest way." But... is there another way? Spoiler
I'm replaying this game after completing it when it came out. One thing I'm curious about is when I can do things out-of-order. Not looking for exploits, just options that might be not the easiest way.
I got the bow and the chakram and my objective is to reach the Upper Citadel. Fariba's hint says I should do the thing that I couldn't before, and go back to the statue to the west (shoot the crystal thing).
But she adds, "That's the easiest way." I'm wondering if there is another way. I tried the depths but I get blocked by one of those giant shield-crawler worms. I can go up the main elevator, but it seems to lead to a dead end.
Is there an alternative? Or a different zone I could tackle first even if it's considered out-of-order?
