So you're doing your first playthrough? You should make sure to leave most of your geo in the bank at fog canyon if you're going to dangerous places like deepnest, you don't want to lose it all.

[@EternalDevotion11]

Oh dear… how did you get in there? There’s 2 ways and on which one you got in through determines just how f***ed you are. One is after beating the Mantis Lords you simply walked left and found yourself in the piles of remains skewered by the Mantis Lords’ lances. In which case simply walk right. However if you happened to stumble across a secret room in the Fungal Wastes and were sent plummeting down into the creepiest place known to bug, you’re completely f***ed. Just how f***ed you are depends on what tools you have. Mantis Claw? Should have a secret way out to the right of where you fell. No Mantis Claw? Um… you are in for a rough time. Hopefully you have the lantern. Best advice is to try and find the Failed Tramway and look for something there to get you outta that place.
