>>49366311you can explore more than you're supposed to which is good for finding higher level mons if needed but there will be some cases where the game will set up invisible walls
a good example is 3rd area when you first enter have to talk to Irida when she then asks for a battle. if you try th use Wyrdeer to climb up the short cliff to go around her you'll get pushed back down by an invisible wall and that wall doesn't go away until you battle her
