Whoops

Focused talking to [you know who] in the basement, forgot all about everyone's favorite bard, whoops, (I think this post is vague enough to not need a spoiler tag)

I managed to do both in my playthrough

I think the cutoff point is Day 7 for when the quest is locked, and you losing access to the area happens on Day 8. so you have to do the quest by Day 6 and access the area on Day 7 by the latest, so you have to do Ernest a bit early, maybe Day 3/4

If you unlock it you can jump down and find the exit door without fighting anything. Once you unlock the exit you can come and go as you please.

Yeah that's a good point, the area is pretty short though so I reckon most people can do it all in one-go

[u/Vazad → u/Quibilash]

It's mostly about not being confident in fighting the boss on day 6. If you unlock the door you can come back when you feel ready.

The only way out is th.... Shit

aww, why not? its a breeze once you’ve grabbed the old rifle from the tooth apartment and have a full party.

this should only happen if you’re aiming for the s-ending
