Radahn Crash - Cannot Fast Travel

[Space Waffle]

After the cut-scene that plays after defeating Radahn, my game crashed. Rather than loading in within the wastes where you appear after the cut-scene, I was sent to the cave of knowledge (the area you start in after losing to the Grafted Scion at the beginning of the game). As a result, I am unable to fast travel. I believe that this is because I was unable to touch the site of grace that appears after killing Radahn.

I have tried various methods to undo this, such as using a "return to start" thingy that appears after defeating the boss of a dungeon or catacomb. I have also tried returning to the area where you initially fight Radahn. However the game still acknowledges that Radahn was killed, locking the door that leads to the lift that takes you down to the Radahn portal. I have been unable to find a way to undo this as of now. If there is a way to fix it please let me know.

I'm not sure if the game could be completed without fast traveling, even if it is I'm not sure it would be worth continuing this character with such a grueling handicap. Besides, without fast travelling, I can't visit Hewg or the rest of the Roundtable's residents. :(

just to check, is there a small symbol under your health/stamina bar that looks like a grace on a map, with a small red cross in the lower right corner?

you'll need that to disappear for you to travel. this is done by resting at a grace or stopping any multiplayer activity. If there appears to be like a mist behind the symbol then that means youre trapped, either youre in the cave or indoors.

I'm not sure if this helps or not.

Normally a new site of grace "Starscourge Radahn" spawns where Radahn is (Wailing Dunes) after the boss fight. The game then disables fast travel and requires the player to rest at that grace in order to enable fast travel again. So I guess you are stuck at such a state where you need to rest at that grace.

There is a speedrun trick to go back to Wailing Dunes by commiting suicide with double-jumping off of one of the many cliffs west of the Wailing Dunes in Caelid, so as to respawn at the Stake of Marika near Radahn.

This one uses the cliff at Fort Faroth in Caelid. Time index: 45:20

Fromsoftware patched some of those cliffs to prevent such a speedrun skip, but the cliff east of Church of the Plague in Caelid also works in v1.04.

The double jump has to be far enough to avoid the invisible kill-planes around the cliff so that your character does not die to those kill-planes mid air, but does die to crashing into Wailing Dunes.

@SleepyEyes happen to know of any fixes for the people who continued on after this glitch started and got stuck in a different boss room? I didnt know you could jump into radahns boss room and said "oh well, i guess i have to walk everywhere now." continued playing and now i am stuck in volcano manor in the boss room. any ideas on a fix?I kept going figuring a different boss would reverse it.

Sorry, I don't know how to get out of Rykard's arena without fast travelling.

This one may be a long shot. I've seen some streamers using Cheat Engine to clip through walls and fly around when they were doing speedrun routing, but I don't know much about the details nor how it really works. I know that using Cheat Engine requires disabling EAC (easy anit-cheat) and playing offline, so some googling FearlessRevolution.com is needed. I also know that even if the character can fly, most 3D models of zones, terrains, and buildings that are currently loaded in are simplified and aren't the real models (or not even loaded in). The flying character has to somehow collide with an invisible zone trigger, which will then load the real 3D models. So, this method may or may not work for getting out of Rykard's arena back into other parts of the world, because the rest of the world outside the arena may currently not even be loaded.

thank you very much for the info. i'll let you guys know if anything comes of the ticket I sent into bandai namco. I wouldn't be shocked if nothing happens I lose a level 200+ character in every one of their games, due to the game glitching, and they do nothing about it. Not trying to get banned on this game by trying to fix a glitch, like i have in previous games.

Ok, I did a test with a speedrun technique called "Alt F4 Wrong Warp" and it will teleport the character out of Rykard's arena to the front gate of Volcano Manor.

Steps:
1) Rest at Audience Pathway grace.
2) Use Memory of Grace.
3) Choose Yes.
4) The loading screen will appear and a progress bar will fill up.
5) Alt F4 right before the bar completely fill up.
6) Restart the game.
7) In the LOAD GAME menu, the character slot info (character name, level, location, time played) should display a wrong location name other than Volcano Manor.
8) Load the save file and the character will be at the default spot of the zone where Rykard arena is (i.e. the default spot of the zone where Rykard arena is is the front gate of Volcano Manor behind a giant that uses Frenzy Flame spell).

@SleepyEyes
does this work even after you have sat at the bonfire?

For Wrong Warp to work, it's required to rest at a grace that is an "unstable ground" (or touch such a grace for the first time).

An unstable ground is a spot of terrain where the game doesn't record the position of the character, e.g. on an elevator or on some thin ledge. The Audience Pathway grace is one of the several graces that are on an unstable ground.

Update: Thank you SleepyEyez for the cliff-jump suggestion, I eventually managed to do the skip. Resting at the site of grace successfully restored my ability to fast travel! Thank you everyone for providing suggestions to help me fix this issue, Praise the Tarnished!

If you are facing problem like this, the first thing you have to do to solve the problem is by killing your character first. This will force the game to reset & travel back
