Grimmchild bugged

[drowsy plume]

Hello, I detected a (minor) issue with grimmchild. On the 24th this month I played a few rounds of Pantheon 3 with the binding of shell and at my last try i swithced to carefree melody for the second part. After losing again, I had to turn off the game because steam had some issues with its connection on that day. I got a warning that HK had disconnected from the cloud service, so I waited until the symbol said it was ok to shut down the pc before doing so. Next time I played was today, still trying to get along with the binding. As I loaded the same file as before, Grimmchild was spawned before my position on the bench. Un- and rebenching shoved it a bit into the ground, after a second time it floated alongside me for a short period of time before sinking down. Getting closer to Grimmchild kind of picked it up and it floated after me again. As it is just floating (and making its noises) but not actually moving its wings I tried to get into the pantheon again. During the first fight Grimmchild was present but not moving (I couldn´t shove it under the bench), the other fights went normal. After dying it spawned outside the pantheon door. You can shove it into the ground there if you use the bench above.

I have installed a bunch of mods I´m using to play around in my "100%-file" and for randos, before today I probably updated them the last time in summer, but until today I had no issues with them (exept some boss loading times). To help finding out what the issue could be, I made a video where I played a bit around with the floating Grimmchild (keep in mind, the charm used was carefree melody). I also showed my used mods in it and tried to take of Carefree and put on the actual Grimmchild Charm, after reloading it flew normally around me. After changing back and reloading the bug reappeared.

Let me know if you need further informations or if I should send the video to someone who would be able to look into it. Thanks in advance!

• I wrote what is wrong and what I have tried so far in the text above. I don´t know what else to try, because I don´t have a clue which mod could be the issue. The ones that would make sense weren´t updated for months, last update of any of the installed ones was a few months ago (and then today to see if it would fix the issue) and I never had any issues before.
• screenshots and ModLog attatched. In the first you can see Grimmchild not moving (I loaded on that bench with Carefree Melody equipped, so it shouldn´t be there in the first place (see picture2) and in picture 3 Grimmchild in the first boss of pantheon 2.
• I use Windows11
• I am on actual patch, I didn´t load anything else from steam (it just shows me the modding API 1.5.78 11833-77 and down below under the icons of the DLCs 1.5.78.11833
• Using Lumafly (upgraded from Scarab a while ago); version 3.3.0.0
• I bought the game on Steam.

Addition: I am a very casual PC user, I can get along with guides but if I try to fix something by myself which is out of my knowledge, I might as well just set my system on fire.

Also, I have a video recorded which shows it betther than the screenshots, but I don´t think I can upload it here, it would be too big I guess.

You shouldn't have Trial of the Crusader installed unless you are playing it (and you shouldn't have the Rando stuff installed if you are).

Generally Vanilla Map Mod is not recommended unless you're playing a Classic Mode file

[drowsy plume]

The issue is with file 1 where I practice the pantheons (accidentally gave the charms from the extra charm mod there, just not using them, the convenience-mods don´t seem to make a difference between a new created file and an old one). Trial of the Crusader is on file 4, where I play that separately. File2 is for Randos with friends and file 3 is my Steelsoul 100% I refuse to delete.
I can try to uninstall Vanilla Map Mod.

Having Trial of Crusader installed when your not using it is very likely going to cause issues

[drowsy plume]

So I have to uninstall it everytime I start a different file than number4 for the trial?

I will try it out and update if it got solved. Thank you.
