La-Mulana: 0 Guardians Defeated: What Can You Do?

While I am unsure how appropriate it is for this to be listed as a “guide”, I felt this would be considered more of text-spam if posted as a discussion page (plus the sections are great for quick reference).

The information in these lists covers everything you can obtain and progress through without defeating a single guardian. No glitches (or exploits) were used to do anything; however, probably half of the items require knowledge of the backdoor to the Tower of the Goddess (which is also an achievement). I am open to having a section added for glitch-only items/progression (if there even are any).

This “guide” is a great way to get the most out of the Ruins before activating HARD MODE and also can make earlier bosses easier (especially if not using sub-weapons for the achievement).

If there is any wrong information or anything to add, please do post a comment so I can change it.

Also, obviously, spoilers ahead (especially in “Unobtainable” section).
