Bug....? (spoilers)

[No' Name]

Hello all.

So I've been playing this game for a while, or what I'd consider a while anyways, and ran into something game breaking.

Just finished the Pyramid build, and now have to go back to the tablet, however, when I do, nothing happens. I've completed the oasis, and the Pyramid, but upon going to the tablet, Both objectives are complete, and all I can do is click on them, nothing happens afterwards.

I was told to go to different island to get a shop keeper, and some other people etc, etc. Did that as well, but the main story is not progressing.

I really don't want to have to start all over, since my first "Pet/Monster" I captured was the Chimera allowing me to fly, and the second Monster/Pet, was a golden golem, allowing me to plow through stuff super fast....

So.... I guess Help?

at some point you will complete a task for one of the characters and it should progress the story, Story goes slower in this section to give you time to visit explore islands and do some of the tablet targets, read mail in mail box. Just keep doing quest for Characters and more story is coming.

I don't need to do optional quests, right? I've already fully explored the two new islands (Sunny something another, and Iredescelent or whatever), by which I mean I unlocked Infnite Iron ore, and the other ore

Did you build the Item Shop -within- the boundaries of the pyramid?

Did you visit Iridescent Island and recruit a Merchant?

Both of these quests are given by Ordelia and are required quests to proceed to the final phase of pyramid construction. There are four phases to the Pyramid, not the normal three. If you've not yet selected a Pyramid Pinnacle from either Digby or Dougie's suggestion (both stink) then you haven't finished the pyramid.

If you have completed the pinnacle then the tablet target should clear. Maybe you have to talk to Lulu first (or maybe its Babs) and she 'll tell you to check out the tablet, upon which the target list would expand.

There are actually very few truly optional quests in the game. (The many rats on Furrowfield asking for a particular food, the weapon scavenger at Moonbrooke, and the Bewarewolf deserter at Moonbrooke are the only ones that come to mind.)

Just talked to Lulu an Babs, both have nothing of real interest to say. Lulu just says the Pyramid is built, and is some sort of "Wonder", and questioning where she should put the other 10.

Oh well, I tried. Waste of 30 ish hours I guess.

Maybe you need to try some more things, like talking to Hairy Hermit or traveling to another island and then back. Or rebuild the item shop inside the pyramid or bring back another Merchant. Somethings blocked and you need to unblock it because its not happening on its own.

Thanks, but it was a major bug. The tablet, in my game was blank, like the actual picture where the "D", and island are supposed to be glowing was just blank, however, when I clicked on it, the list would come up, and tell me I had the temple. and oasis at 100% and showed "Complete".

I decided just to start over, since my Auto Save, and both my ONLY save file in that game were used after I had found this out.

I ended up just starting a new game, still took forever to get back there, and finally proceed beyond that game breaking bug. This is mainly due to how long talking from Npc's goes on, and drags out, even while skipping everything. Not to mention the unbearable cutscenes, especially the one's talking to Malroth. Holy crap.... I don't think I need a minute to read literally 15 words...

Anyways, point is, I'm past that point now, and have already beaten Moonbrooke at this point/ Thanks again though.

I'm trying everything, is the Item shop not being recognized a legitimate bug? I'm struggling through this game on ps4 and while I like it, the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up unintuitiveness is not professional. LIke this is stuff someone should get in ♥♥♥♥ for.
