Ok, this drove me crazy for almost an hour last night. There's two spots in the opening area that I'm not able to get into and it's maddening. Both of them are near the Ivona's Threshold area on the map. One of them is a two-story building with vine-covered doors and windows, but there's a hole in the roof to get in, and there's loot right by the window so you can see it. There's a ruined section next to the house and it backs up to a mountain, but I can't access the door or the roof. How do I get in??
The other is a cave of those little lizard people up on a rise just out of reach. They leap down from there and attack, but there doesn't seem to be a way to access it. You can see the giant tusk/horns framing the cave entrance, but I can't find a way up and it's leaving a rather large fog-of-war unexplored. Is there a superjump mechanic you get later on or what?
I know both those places, and haven't been able to get into either of them.
In the case of the cave, it's possible that it's not intended to be accessible. I found a post on reddit where someone claimed (but with no screenshot to confirm it) that he was able to climb up the to the top of the hill and drop down into the cave. It involves going around to be back where you find [redacted] and "finessing" your way up to the top. I spent a half hour trying and wasn't able to figure it out. The post also says that there isn't anything interesting in the cave, so doing it would be purely for bragging rights.

Ugh...thanks. Hate unresolved fog of war and teases like obvious loot in an unrecoverable spot. Makes me waste hours trying to accomplish something that wasn't meant to be accomplished.

Time saver tip. It took me about 6 hours of game time to figure this out, but you can remap your quick slot (the ones on the D pad) abilities. On the Xbox you hit the LB to pull up the radial menu, go to the item or power you want and then hit the D pad direction you want to assign it to. I wish the game had the ability to quick switch multiple D-pad setups so that you could have at least 2 different loadouts ready at all times, but I don't think you can do that.
One reason not to play this on GamePass... there a 3.3GB update, it is downloading at 1MB/s max, but dropping to 0 frequently. So much for knocking out some quests at lunch.
15 minutes later. 2.8/3.3GBs... This would be a 30 second update on steam.

Can you post a screenshot with some red circles? I have gotten into every place I have seen at this point but not sure I remember those specific locations. Not much fog on my map of the first area and my gear is maxed for first area materials and 8k in my pocket.
