I'm finding boxes in the spiral that, when I open them, are saying: "The box contains the broken fragments of a crystal. There's also some ash and charred wood. It looks like the crystal exploded inside the box."
What I am wondering is if I did something (or failed to do something) which caused the crystals to explode. I feel like there may have been a reward inside these boxes, but, through some action or inaction, I caused the crystals to explode before I got to the boxes.
Or are they just put there to be a disappointment?
Thanks for any enlightenment you can share!
