Don't worry, you didn't say any accidental spoilers- since you seem to be a little further ahead maaaybe you can, ah, donate a spoiler?

My YouTube recommendations won't stop showing me the thumbnail for a piano cover (I've said I'm not interested for the time being) with this person on it…how do I describe them…Basically think of The Knight but infected, much lankier and taller with a posture I can't think of a way to describe.
Do not tell me who this is, but they look like a walking spoiler.
Thanks a lot, person who made the video. Not like there was anyone who didn't want to see that.

There is no main objective for this place, but I personally consider retrieving the Mantis Claw so; it is useful as it allows you to wall jump. If you've entered from the Queen's Station, Cornifer won't be very far right from there, and you can purchase a map from him, as always. Aforementioned Claw is at the end of a long path downwards into the Mantis Village, with acid pools galore, so be wary of that. There are also doors in the entire Wastes that you can only open from one side before being able to enter from both sides.
If you want to, in the Village, you can fight the Mantis Lords, but I personally recommend finding the Nailsmith (to strengthen your nail) first before you do so unless you're very, very good (and patient) already, who is in the place to the right of a statue in the Wastes which I am trying to get to currently but of course thorn parkour is in my way. I'll do it eventually. No Geo lost from that specific place, gladly.
Upon defeating aforementioned Lords you'll be granted the entrance to Deepnest and those darned Mantis Warriors will bow to you from then on.
EDIT: I have not defeated them yet. I only last ~11/2 minutes against them on average.

Okay so I entered Fungal Wastes from the Forgotten Crossroads, made it to mantis village, all ways to get to anywhere in the village are blocked by doors or on a ledge too high to reach, and occasionally both. What do I do?

EDIT: I found a lever, lol I didn't even know it was a lever, I thought it was just decoration.

Okay so now I got the wall jump claw, now what? I got lost and wandered to a room in the Fog Canyons to a black barrier I can't cross. I can hear the map dude humming on the other side.

My new least favourite sound (didn't have one until now) in this game is:
shrill scream

City of Tears is huge. The only real thing you might need to do once you've reached it is find a way to get south and acquire an upgrade that lets you swim in acidic waters. Once that's done, you're able to access everywhere you might need to go. (You might need to head east if you haven't already after this, but it's not necessary for progression in City of Tears, only for the rest of the game.)

Okay, so I have gone as far south as I can go, went to the nailsmith, got a nail upgrade, I never left the nailsmith. Where should I go to get the acid water swimming after that?

And where should I go after I get the acid water swimming?

Although for what it's relevant, I've been playing and progressing for like 30 hours more without having found that upgrade, so… it's at the very least not necessary for a very long time

Yeah, it's not going to be used for much - really, it's only used for one important thing I believe, and it's a technically-late-game-but-not-really upgrade.

Acid water swimming is even further south (requires a key). To get the key, head to the room east of the Nailsmith - there should be platforms in the air (accessible by elevator-thing) that allow you to progress further.

It's only really necessary for alternative routes into Fog Canyon. It's a little difficult to get to the area, though. Now that I think about it, you might need to have thoroughly explored Crystal Peak first… You can absolutely do that before City of Tears, which is what I did in a speedrun for that one achievement, but I just now realized most people won't have done that.

If you haven't explored the heck out of Crystal Peak, do that. Head north in City of Tears (using the same method of getting to the key mentioned previously), finish the Soul Sanctum sub-area, and fast-travel using the nearby Stag Station to the Forgotten Crossroads, and pass by Myla to get to the Crystal Peak.

Really, at this point in the game, it's a matter of getting the rest of the upgrades (Crystal Peak, Royal Waterways) and then finding a way to access the three Dreamers to fight the final boss. That's really it - everything else is optional.
