I'm assuming 1 is in the unknown gate, but where is the last area? Has anyone gotten 15/16 who could help? I also presume the last hat and soul gem are in that gate. It is one that Hoodsickle can't enter, correct?

Yes, they are beyond that Gate.

However, did you fall off the cliff, at the beginning of the level, or did you explore all the roofs, when confronting Gulper?

There is also a super tricky area, you can only get there if you fall down precisely after the second Boost Pad, if I remember correctly.

It's a platform under the area with the Tech Elemental Gate.

I actually wound up looking in the strategy guide, I had played that level probably a dozen times (currently going through it on Nightmare mode). I coulda swore I had tried to jump there before, but maybe it was while enemies were in the way or something!

I'm really frustrated that ya can never tell if you missed something, or its because of the missing elemental Trappers. The strategy guide is helpful in some cases, but there should be a list of CAN DO and CAN'T DO as of this current wave. Perhaps someone should maintain that?

Yes.

It's probably that really hidden area you are missing.

When I found it, by playing around with the borderless areas, I thought it was a "bug", at first.
