If that doesn't work, try exiting to the main menu and jump back into the game.

I have this issue happen a lot at the Mimic Tear arena SoG. The message is so close that I don't even get the prompt to touch the grace.

One would think that From would have fixed this after a decade of troll messages, but nope.

That one is actually misplaced.

I've heard playing offline as a solution, but that also disables multiplayer, cooperatively or competitively, so you would have to decide for yourself if that's a viable solution.

are you sure the lever can even be interacted with at all? most levers that cant be activated give you a prompt to interact and then give a message that says something like "this contraption cannot move", but there are a few levers sprinkled around the game that need to be activated in another area, but give absolutely no message or interaction prompt until you activate it from the other side. one example of this is the lever for the elevator in the small area of leyndell that you get taken to via transporter trap early on in the game, where you fight one golem and get the blessed dew talisman.

people are always thinking a message is preventing them from interacting with the lever, but in reality, the lever cannot be interacted with at all until you activate the elevator from the other side after passing thru most of leyndell.

people do put troll messages next to this lever, but the troll isnt to prevent you from using an otherwise useable lever, the troll is to make you think that lever would be useable if the message wasnt there, even tho its not.

I really wish FromSoft would give a little space between activated things and messages.

Are you certain the lever is even usable? A lot of them don't work until you've activated the lift first.

I've heard a lot of people claim that a message is blocking interaction but, it's never actually been the case. It's either the grace interaction location is not in the same place as the grace (known bug), the grace became disabled because an enemy got too close (operator error), or the lever/interactable is disabled until you do something that enables it, like riding a lift (operator error again).

Interacting with an object always takes precedence over messages. If you're seeing the message, you're not in position to interact with the object or the object is not currently interactable. Messages do not block interaction with objects.

Its not ony the leaver, several other items (stone made) dont tell you, but need a No2 interaction to make the text disapear again. Just press the same button you pressed, one more time, and it will vanish.

That all sounds good. But NOPE!

Someone put a message directly in front of the ladder in the one cave that has a iron maiden at the bottom of a pit and the only way out is the ladder. I got chewed to pieces desperately trying to escape, but couldn't interact with the ladder. It said something like "try climbing" just to add insult to injury.

If you just need to activate a lever just go offline, pull it, then go back online.
