Bandit's Pass

Head back into the Festering Banquet's first area and go through the previously locked door on the right side.

Exit the tower and speak with the unnamed NPC (non-player character — anyone the game controls, not you), referred to as the Questing Knight. Agree to help him on his quest by selecting "Yes" to his second dialogue option. Continue speaking with him until he repeats the same line of dialogue about being a rumormonger. Ensure you accept his quest and exhaust his dialogue to avoid locking yourself out of the Wise Words trophy for this playthrough.

Continue beyond the Knight and jump up to reach the Black Pearl.

Drop back down and go right to drop again to find the Woodsman's Axe, Cotton Tunic, and Cotton Trousers.

Drop down once more and continue right to the end. On the ledge above you at the wall, you will find the Pitchfork and Pouch of Salt.

While on the ledge with the Pitchfork and Pouch of Salt, move right against the wall and press the Circle button to reveal a hidden door. This door leads to a gate locked by a lever, which is inaccessible at this time, but provides a shortcut for later.

Jump up one more time from the ledge and head right into the next screen, which is a new Sanctuary.
