(Spoilers) Cutscene for clearing the ocean missing? | Stairway Games | Page 1

The cutscene that played when the roots above ground dissapear/the spirit manta is missing or i might've missed it/triggered it improperly, i've forgotten how i triggered it in early access, that or has it been cut/removed from release? I can't imagine why, it was such a magical and satisfying cutscene and honestly dissapointed i didn't get to see it again.

Be mindfull i am NOT talking about the cutscene AFTER this one where everyone on the beach gathers to celebrate.
Im also NOT talking about the cutscene with the coral tree in the beginning, that one played correctly.

Anyone got any answers? Scott_Crying_Emoji

Did you blow the magic conch?

tardy glen Dec 16, 2023, 10:54 PM

#

re-read what i typed in, yes i did, its the cutscene that played
also suprised they didnt keep in the sound from the conch, that or am i misremebering...

graceful jetty Dec 16, 2023, 10:54 PM

#

Ok no need to be rude. The conch scene is the remove roots scene......

tardy glen Dec 16, 2023, 10:55 PM

#

oh, sorry i didnt mean to sound rude!!

#

no but like- theres a scene that plays AFTER that scene

#

during at night above the ground

#

the manta should fly over the roots and they dissapear, with ling watching the whole thing

#

It should have played after you played the conch, maybe you skipped it by pressing f or something akin to that on another console. But that’s when it should have played.

tardy glen Dec 16, 2023, 10:56 PM

#

THATS the cutscene im refering to

cursive sedge Dec 16, 2023, 10:56 PM

#

Yes that scene is directly after the roots disappearing

i didnt skip it, thats kinda the problem. it kinda just...abuptly ended

#

without playing said cutscene

#

i didnt press anything, im on keyboard i was leaning back on my chair watching it

cursive sedge Dec 16, 2023, 10:57 PM

#

Might be a bug then, I had it play just fine.

tardy glen Dec 16, 2023, 10:58 PM

#

awww...thats rubbish, i wanted to see it again ToT

#

i hope it gets fixed if its a bug, also, would be lovely if somebody could record it and post it on youtube, i can't find it anywhere and i was trying to get my friend to see it..

I thought that was weird.... I'm sad I missed it

gleaming wyvern Dec 17, 2023, 5:32 PM

Mine didnt play either and I'm on Steam Deck

#

Just replayed this part, and the scene cut right after the light manta left the coral tree. Maybe it broke with the latest patch? It worked fine for me a week ago or so.

I just did this part on PS5 and the scene ended after the light manta left the coral tree, and i haven't gotten any sort of scenes aboveground, just people talking about the roots being gone/more fish and birds around, etc

#

I played that part recently (before the last hotfix) and I did kot know a manta was supposed to be on the surface and Ling watching. Also blew the conch and the roots retreated from the surface and that was about it.

#

Probably a bug since you guys mention there should have been more to that cutscene.

tardy glen Dec 18, 2023, 2:44 PM

#

yes there should be more!
the bugged version cuts off the cutscene when the manta spirit flies up.
The real version should be continued up to the surface, its night, ling is by the tree (temple? thing?) at the lookout point to the right where Ninas mansion is, sees the manta come from the water and all the roots retract, each area being cleansed as it flies over them.

#

i love this game but i hate bugs like this, it ruins the magic somewhat...

meager jasper Dec 18, 2023, 3:49 PM

Mine didn't play either, also the cutscene where people celebrate it in beach also didn't play in mine

Oh dear. Mine played correctly, but thats...thats depressing-

cursive sedge Dec 18, 2023, 5:24 PM

#

I wish I could have recorded mine when it played I had no idea the hotfix would have affected that 😭 but I bet Sarah sunstone has the scene since she’s been playing for a while

tardy glen Dec 18, 2023, 5:35 PM

ah, i gotta find the clip

That one triggered for me but a week or 2 later. I think it triggers when you go to the beach and i did not go to the beach for a long time after clearing the ocean. Mainly used the altars underwater when i wanted to dive.

Oh I'll try it again, I've been coming to the beach almost everyday because I put some traps in that area but maybe it takes time
I'll wait and update again

tardy glen Dec 21, 2023, 3:28 PM

#

oh yea talking about cutscenes that are missing, the cutscene that happens in the giants village after the fire giant is freed never played for me

#

(they were supposed to talk about what happened)

gleaming wyvern Dec 21, 2023, 4:08 PM

#

Huh now that I think about it I never got that one either

tardy glen Dec 21, 2023, 4:29 PM

#

"Must rest now, lots to discuss with giants" "We talk later"
never brings it up ever again

cursive sedge Dec 21, 2023, 4:30 PM

#

You have to go to the giant village

tardy glen Dec 21, 2023, 4:31 PM

#

ive done so...the last 5-6 times
it never triggered.

cursive sedge Dec 21, 2023, 4:31 PM

#

Are you on Xbox by chance?

tardy glen Dec 21, 2023, 4:31 PM

#

pc

cursive sedge Dec 21, 2023, 4:31 PM

#

Like gamepass or steam?

tardy glen Dec 21, 2023, 4:32 PM

#

trust me, ive tried the morning, ive tried midday, evening, night-
steam

cursive sedge Dec 21, 2023, 4:33 PM

#

There’s a slight chance you have a corrupted file but I’m not sure I had all of the cutscenes play and had no issues but I do remember people saying they had an issues with the fire giant cutscenes

tardy glen Dec 21, 2023, 4:34 PM

#

thats odd, some cutscenes still play but some of the story ones are bugged out.

#

besides, i did a clean re-install of the game when version 1.0 came out

#

verified files n stuff and it was all normal..

cursive sedge Dec 21, 2023, 4:37 PM

#

That sucks I’m sorry, I would report it to bugs and see if they respond I have been very lucky so I don’t know what else could be the issue😢

tardy glen Dec 21, 2023, 4:38 PM

#

well...i have been playing since EA so i have seen the original cutscenes before, so im not super bothered, but im still confused on how this happened

cursive sedge Dec 21, 2023, 5:14 PM

#

Not sure tbh I played early access as well so not sure why some people got bugs and others didn’t

gleaming wyvern Dec 21, 2023, 9:00 PM

#

I really hope it's not a corrupt file as those of us who had new game plus and just rebuilt all our farms would be gutted

tardy glen Dec 21, 2023, 9:32 PM

THIS^^^honestly

I’m trying not to jump to that but I also had ng+ file and did not have those issues

gleaming wyvern Dec 22, 2023, 5:02 PM

#

Might be a timing thing, who knows hopefully it's just a bug that knocked things out a bit 😄

low spindle Dec 22, 2023, 6:47 PM

#

I'll join the camp for missing cutscenes (although I wouldn't have noticed without this thread, because I never played far enough during early access). Has this already been reported as a bug yet? Since it seems to affect multiple people

reef tulip Dec 22, 2023, 10:11 PM

#

tardy glen "Must rest now, lots to discuss with giants" "We talk later" *never brings it up...

They took the giant village one with the fire giant out because people complained that it wasn’t finished. So those of us who played EA are confused that it wasn’t playing.

tardy glen Dec 22, 2023, 11:08 PM

#

oh weird.

pliant grail Dec 22, 2023, 11:10 PM

#

Finished it today, didn´t play out for me either. 😦

meager jasper Dec 23, 2023, 4:13 AM

#

Update, I just got the cutscene where everyone gather in the beach
It took me a week after I cleared it.
I was hopeless about it either cause everyone already talking about the roots are gone, but yea I still got the cutscene in the end

#

Also I don't know if it matters or no, I came to the beach at 12PM+

gleaming wyvern Dec 23, 2023, 8:54 PM

#

Yeah mine appeared a while after too, looks like triggers maybe changed and least we know the reason teh fire giant scene wasn't playing now

tardy glen Dec 24, 2023, 4:40 AM

#

if its unfinished until the full story is out, then i wont bother it much.

hybrid cedar Dec 24, 2023, 6:18 AM

#

I have the exact same problem here. After the hotfix last time, the cutscene for fire giant explaining things and the root above the surface retreating never showed up 😄

minor oasis Jan 7, 2024, 7:36 PM

#

I had the same bug here - went to the tree, played the conch, extra careful not to touch any buttons annnnd end cutscene before the roots above retreated.
