It occurs to me I never tried to see hat happens if I donāt speak to him.
Every time I finish Port Valbury I run past the āteleport backā stone, to that small balcony and take a long thoughtful look around the opening scenery. Haven enjoyed that moment of stillness, I then climb down and, satisfied, teleport back 
Never skipped that ritual yet

Something else I tend to always do is cleanse all shrines even after I have 55 devotion points. I hate seeing them with an X on them on the main map showing theyāve not been cleansed. Even PV, Conflagration and Stonerend Quarry Iāll go into to cleanse them, though I sorta hate both areas due to the ground crap.

i looove cleansing the 3 secret boss shrines even tho the cost is high/a skeleton key. For some reason when i do that last one it just feels like everything is ādoneā (even if iāve example skipped the shrine in Fort Ikon tomb 
)
Havenāt done those yet. Not got many characters in Ultimate, only 1-2.

Are you referring to Mogdrogenās shrine and such?
nop, the shrines in the entry to the 3 āsecretā bosses
Spoiler
Crate, Lokarr, Bourbons I guess.
correctamundo, those 3 have devotion shrine in their āfoyerā, which requires a Skeleton Key as material/offering to restore
Yeah I had to rack my brains and figured this out as well. Iām not used to hearing them referred to collectively so it took me a moment.
I disabled damage numbers, monster health bars above their heads and monster levels. Thanks 
for these options.
Another thing I do is always loot everything I can before I release any prisoners. I open chests, smash bone piles, etc, before I even talk to them.

I actually do the same tbh.I max my 1 mastery with 1 passive usually in my second mastery so when i max the first mastery i focus on second.First usually are my damage mastery and my second mastery are mainly for passives
Lol same Iām like let me get this and that and that before I free/talk to youš
After almost 2000 hours on GD, Iāll pick it up every now and then (particularly after an update), theorycraft something (hopefully) new and different in Grimtools, create a total-cheat level 100 GD-Stash version of the build to see if itās actually viable for anything at all, then do a āclean startā and level the same target build from scratch with self-found everything.
I know thereās so much wrong with that itās not even funny, and I wouldnāt recommend itā¦ however it suits me and I find it fun.

I do similar, but instead of self-found from level 1 I have 2 saves at Homestead at level 94 in Ultimate. One is ODV and one is Kymon, so I just craft items and play from there with level 1 Devotions. By the end of FG everything is capped. 
Honestly, I canāt slog through Act 1 and 2 much at this point since Iāve played those areas many, many times since the Alpha first releasedā¦
I take second mastery at ten, because I want the pretty pictures, and OCD. I am a slow leveler early on because I max them together.
Must get every chest, even the ones I know drop crap.
Mentioned before I assume, must do all quests on all difficulties, even if I transferred gear and am 100 in normal (from SR)
And finally, embarrassingly, I get up and do the snoopy happy dance when a pink MI drops (except the Magi) then I kill them both.
I think the happy dance is just me though. LOL
what? pink?
Rainbow Filter tool colours them pink.
