So, I headed into the ruins after gearing up a bit. The ruins weren't any harder than I remember from last time. I zipped through, grabbing all of the praise that I could, learned the Vine technique and headed for the boss.
Right at the end of the ruins, in front of the boss's chamber, I was reminded of just how good Okami's atmosphere can be. The creepy music and decorations, combined with some awe-inspiring level design makes the run up to the boss really exciting. Unfortunately, in my opinion, this is broken a bit by the comedic custscene.
The boss itself is a lot of fun. The Spider Queen has a woman's head with no face but a horrid fanged mouth, and a flower-wrapped abdomen filled with eyes. It's amazing, but not too hard to beat. I wound up using a Steel Fist Sake and an Inkfinity Stone during the fight. I finished that off, grabbed Ume (the dog that Kokari, the boy in the forest, lost) and headed back to the forest.
Once in the forest, I reuinited Ume and Kokari, finished off the Sleepy Bear, and headed for Taka Pass. I found the Guardian Sapling, revived it, and gathered up all of the animals I could find. I also beat up some moles, and reunited the treasure that they stole with it's owner. Next up is Kusa Village and the Gale Shrine.
