dumbass. learn directions, and stop saying “across elevator” that doesn’t make sense. Imagine telling people to avoid the north door (compass: east), and instead go through the east door (compass north). Absolute moron.
There’s numerous mistakes in the guide already and I’m only at the point of getting to Forneus. Whoever wrote this should learn both the difference between west and east (as it’s wrong in several places, such as at the elevator bit) and note that Pretas do not seem to be recuitable when it says to recruit it
Preta are recruitable when the moon/kagatsuchi is at a FULL state
