	87	+* **Description:** Tricky frequently gets stuck in walls and has difficulty navigating Swapstone Hollow's well. This doesn't block progression but it is bothersome! This area has multiple tunnels for Tricky to dig, but it seems as though Rare only intended for Tricky to be able to visit the well later on when entering it from SnowHorn Wastes (after Tricky learns to burn down vines). He shouldn't be able to follow Sabre into the well when entered from SwapStone Hollow, since he's unable to climb.

The mecanic is introduced in the tutorial area with Sabre (Snowhorn, alpine roots, lone Sharpclaw and digging are introduced as well) but isn't used for the rest of the game and the sidekicks will perform the actions without losing their hunger meter nor refusing to do said action even though certain ones are repeated (and would usually make them hungry, like in the tutorial) This could have been made so by the team, to avoid to feed the sidekicks during testing.
106		-* **Workaround:** None. The UI was also probably hard coded as well at the moment, since it doesn't reflect changes in the hunger as well.
	105	+* **Description: **Tricky and Kyte are intended to need Blue Mushrooms/Blue Grubs to perform their sidekick actions, and should be unable to help you if they're too hungry. The mechanic is introduced in the SnowHorn Wastes' tutorial area (with the SnowHorn, alpine roots, geyser, and digging spots) and it does function correctly in this area: Tricky needs to build his digging experience before he can dig certain spots, and he needs to be fed mushrooms before he has enough energy to continue digging. This mechanic isn't used for the rest of the game however, in some cases because the buddy interaction points have their energy and experience requirements set to 0. The sidekicks will simply perform the actions without any cost! It's likely that Rare simply had yet to add the energy costs to these object, or disabled them to facilitate debugging and testing the game. Additionally, Tricky and Kyte's blue/red UI mushroom gauges don't update at any stage.

162		-* **Workaround:** Blocking the tunnel in the Well with the vines (As intended?) or invisible wall until swapping back to Sabre after learning Distract with Tricky.
	161	+* **Description:** The route to SnowHorn Wastes in the well is not blocked early in the game, even though vines should prevent you from passing through until Tricky learns to use Flame. This allows you to reach Garunta Te earlier than intended! You shouldn't be able to free him and do his (tedious) frost weed quest until after a number of other quests (healing the Queen, meeting Rocky, switching to Krystal, Discovery Falls, Test of Combat's spirit, and then switching back to Sabre after Tricky learns Distract).
	162	+* **Workaround:** Rare's had a permanent invisible wall on the vines in the well, which was removed in the community patch in the hopes of eventually adding a proper vine game objects which Tricky can burn away as intended, but such an object has yet to be added (since it's a difficult edit!) A progression gate needs to be readded here, to prevent players from unintentionally sequence breaking.
