Oil Roots

[devout geyser]

I started a second playthrough and started on the ocean. I finished all of the activators they are all yellow and i have 20/20 in that area. i never got the cutscene where it shows the oil roots moving from that area. i did get the mermaid cutscene though. I can't get to the next part of the ocean on the quest " explore the ocean" it has said I have completed it, but I cant receive my reward for completing it I have also cleared every single piece of trash in the available areas that I can, does anyone know what to do??

Did you go to the pier to meet Ling after the mermaid cutscene?

[devout geyser]

Yes and she gave me the new suit

[rancid zenith]

Then you gotta clear all the orbs in the 20m area

[devout geyser]

It says I have all 20 tho?

[rancid zenith]

After the first 20 and you get the new suit, you need to go to the 20m (20 meter) section and do that one to unlock the next part of the ocean story

I can’t get to that area tho

provide as much info as you can, someone said that they encountered the issue after clearing all 15 sites in one day, if this is true for you also describe it

this might be a dumb question but did you actually swim up to the roots? like, just head straight into them

[devout geyser]

Yes I did! I didn’t take a pic of it but it says “oil roots blocking” or something like that and then also shows red Xs

Add to the bug report I linked earlier with as much information as you can remember

[devout geyser]

I did! I reported all of it, I played another play through today only activating a few orbs a day and got the cutscene and the oil roots moved so I think In that play through I activated to many orbs on one day , someone also had that problem so I guess you can’t activate more than 10 a day or it will glitch out the first 20 cutscene
