Backtrack and Explore Other Paths

Whenever you find yourself in an environment that appears to be ahead of your current progress, it is always useful to backtrack and explore other paths that you haven't trailed yet on the map.

Mount Qaf is huge and it is easy to get lost in other areas you aren't supposed to be in yet, so always keep in mind that retracing your steps isn't a bad idea.

Mark Your Maps

You can put marks on your map for unavailable areas in the beginning of the game. This is helpful when advancing on to the next main quests where it can then be accessible. Marking the map is accessible by clicking the map button. You may add different marks to anywhere you like on the map.

Once lost in any main quest, it is advisable to go back to these marked areas most especially when you gain new time powers.
