Hi @quartz barn , thank you for reaching out to us! Do you remember the in-game date when you finished the Petrified Giant I quest? Could you also share your Backup Files here so we can take a closer look?
Hi, I have the same issue:
After completing the giant village mission I didn't receive the petrified giant II, it also happened during summer I just can't remeber the exact date.
Reproduction Steps: Complete Petrified Giant 1 and Giant Village, never received Petrified Giant II quest and finish Water Mine floor 40
Repro Rate: Every time
In-Game Date & Time: This happened during the start of Summer for me too.
Players & Platform: Only two players, I'm on Steam and my friend is on PS5. it's also affecting their game.

I'm sorry to hear that you're also experiencing this issue. Could you let us know the in-game date when you finished the Petrified Giant I quest? Do you remember who triggered the cutscene at the time (Host or Guest)?
Also, could you send your Backup Files here so we can take a closer look?
Sorry, I can't remember the exact date but it was me (host) who triggered the cutscene.
I'm having the same issue in my MP game. I'm hosting the game and I triggered the scene with the Earth Giant where he teaches you about enchanting, but we never got the free petrified giant II quest. I'm not sure if thats where it's supposed to happen but yeah we never got it. Here's the files if it helps
same issues here, We didn't get Petrified Giant III quest despite having reached the end of the wind mine. We couldn't proceed with the giants quest and subsequently, after unlocking Savannah, we cannot access it. Here's our save file.
I'm experiencing the same issue. The end of day hit as I was in the cut scene at the end of the earth mine and the quest won't advance. I'm playing on PS5, so I'm not sure how to get a save to share
Hi everyone, thanks for sending in the files and I'm sorry to hear that you're all experiencing similar issue. And @oblique mason , could you also send your Backup Files here and let us know the in-game date when you finished the Petrified Giant II quest?
backup files are here. Neither me nor my co-op partner are entirely sure about the date but it was sometime during Year 1
Has this issue been figured out yet? I am unable to get it to trigger in multiplayer mode as well...
Hi there! We're currently still gathering information on this issue, as we haven't been able to replicate it on our end. If there's any additional detail you think might help with the investigation, please don't hesitate to share it with us here. Thank you for your support and patience 
This is almost certainly the same thing as my earlier thread:

Seems extremely common if you start the "freeing the giant" cutscene in multiplayer and then the day ends during the middle of the cutscene.
I came here searching for solutions for my multiplayer game as well. As we triggered the cutscene, the day ended and the quest was never given for the Petrified Giant II Quest.
Hi, I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing this issue as well. We're still gathering more information regarding this issue, could you let us know which platform the Host and Guest are playing from (Steam PC/Deck, Xbox PC/S/X, PlayStation 5)?
Thank you, both host and guest are playing from Steam PC
Y'all, I'm not even seeing this listed as a known issue, and we've given you a repro and this completely breaks game progression. What gives?
Hey everyone @here, Just a quick update — the team is still investigating this issue.
We really appreciate everyone who’s shared their info so far. If you have any additional details to share, please let us know here. We’re currently gathering as much information as possible to identify the cause.
Thank you so much for your patience and understanding 🙇♂️
Well me and my partner figured out that so long as we trigger the cutscene everything works fine. Idk how to describe it well but when you break the tablet it plays a scene, then it reverts to normal game play for a minute until you go back to the surface and another scene plays where you get the quest. If you pass out between the two scenes during that moment of normal game play then then the second one never triggers and you never get the quest.
I'm going to assume that in single player, time pauses during mandatory cut screens like this, but it doesn't in MP.
When the cut screen ends, it likely triggers the next step of the quest, but passing out causes it to not end.
I think the overall fix is pausing time during cutscreens, and having all players view all of them (skip if all players skip).
I'm gonna try to recreate either today or tomorrow. Again, either way, something is going to need to be added to restore the quest to people who are in a broken state right now.
Same issue here!!!
Title: I finished the water cavern but I can't free the giant
Reproduction Steps: In the Earth Cavern I clicked on the stone, completed the quest, and freed the Earth Giant, but in the Water Cavern, I can't click on the stone.
Steps already taken:
checked files on Steam
already freed the 4 altars in the temple
Giant Village is already unlocked
already completed the Wind Cavern and started the Fire Cavern
already entered the last level of the Earth Cavern and then entered the last level of the Water Cavern
already redid floors 30 to 40 in the Water Cavern
Repro Rate: recurring
Game Platform: Steam
Game Version v1.2 - 1242
Input Mode: Keyboard and mouse
Could you let us know the in-game date when you completed the Water Cavern? And could you also send your Backup Files here for further review?
I don't remember exactly the date but it was between 20/09/2025 and 25/10/2025
Facing the same issue and cannot progress 😭😭😭😭
any progress?
I don't think so
Thanks for sending in the Backup files! I'll relay this with the team for checking 
I'm sorry to hear that you're also experiencing this issue. If you have any additional details to share, please let us know here. We’re currently gathering as much information as possible to identify the cause.
Thank you so much for your patience and understanding 
Was this fixed in the new update??
Any progress on this one?
Hi there, we're currently still investigating the cause and haven't found the trigger so far. Could you let us know the in-game date and time when you finished the Petrified Giant quest? Do you remember who triggered the stone cutscene at the time (Host or Guest), and if you passed out before you were able to get back to the Cavern's entrance?
Could you guys say if it will be fixed soon or it's better to restart the game?
I just encountered the same glitch, also in Multiplayer.
Never got the free the giants II quest, and now i cant click on the water tablet to free the water giant. Wind mine unlocked just fine, original cutscene was interrupted by the end of day cutscene.
I've finish all the four caves and now I'm stuck =/ sad that there's no feedbacks about it anymore. I found out that the water giant appears on the list of ppl known
Do we know if this was fixed on the latest update?
Hi everyone @here,
We truly appreciate your patience while we worked on this.
I’m happy to share that the fix for the Petrified Giant Quest not appearing is now included in the latest version (v1.2b-1244). Please update your game to apply the fix 🙌
The next quest should appear right away when you load your save file. You’ll just need to re-inspect the stone on level 40 from the point where you got stuck to trigger the cutscene and to complete the quest
If you still have any trouble completing it, feel free to let us know. Your detailed reports have been a huge help to the team — thank you!
And @distant coyote , regarding your issue with being unable to complete the Petrified Giant II quest, we wanted to clarify that the problem you’re encountering is slightly different from what others are reporting in this thread. In your case, the quest is stuck, while others are experiencing the quest missing entirely.
Rest assured, our team is actively working on a fix for this issue. We’re hoping to have it resolved as soon as possible. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding while we work on this! 🙇♂️
Thank you!!! my partner and I are so excited to jump back in!!
Okie, I'll keep waiting... Thank you for the updates
Hi there! I’m reaching out again to gather a bit more information about the issue. When you first reached level 40 of the Water Mine, do you recall whether it was the Host or the Guest who interacted with the stone tablet? Also, could you remember if you passed out during any of the cutscenes? If so, please let us know which cutscene it was, thank you 
it was the host doing the interaction and I don't remember if it was a cutscene or if I passed out =/ sorry (I have like 70% sure that was a cutscene but I won't remember which one)
I see, thank you for confirming! I'll relay this to the team for checking
any updates?
okay, so... I can't go to Savannah cause I haven't past for the last giant... because of this bug. @icy ocean there's any update about it? I have ask about it like two months ago and now, two months of gameplay, this... That's really disappointing....
Hey kett! I’m part of the team as well, and I’m really sorry about this. I completely understand how disappointing it must be to have your progression blocked after putting so much time into the game 🙇♀️
The team is still actively working on this issue, and we’ll let you know as soon as we have an update to share. Thank you so much for sticking with us and for your patience, we truly appreciate it 🙏 🙏
hello, thank you for the follow up... Have you tried to get my save (I'll send the recent one) and manually release my quest so I can continue with my game?
I took the liberty of trying something that maybe you can try, if you haven't tried it yet
Hello! We can’t manually edit save files to unlock quests, but the team is currently working on a fix. Don't worry, we’ll share an update as soon as it’s released 
ok
any updates here?
Hello! I just heard back from the dev, and good news the issue has been fixed!
It’s currently with our QA team for verification, so it may take a little more time before it’s fully rolled out.
Thanks so much for your patience! 
Yaaaasss!!! I wanna be able to go back to this game ❤️ thank you for the updates, hope to hear from you soon!
Hey there! I’ve got some great news 🎉
The issue where players couldn’t progress with the Petrified Giant II quest has been fixed in the latest hotfix (v1.2b-1246)! Just head over to the cavern lobby to trigger the cutscene and continue the quest ✨
