Softlocked near First Life Upgrade; any solutions, cheats, trainers...?

[AniGa]

I didn't get the first life upgrade immediately. So I am at the end of the game and decided to backtrack down to the Sacrificial Altar to get it.

Due to a glitch, a path the Dahaka smashed open down there in a past area (first Dahaka chase) is not smashed open anymore. But that's the only exit; I can effectively get the life upgrade, but if I do then I am stuck down there with no way out.

(Upon restarting the game it looked like the wall was smashed like it should be, but it just turned invisible; still can't get through, still softlocked.)

Does anyone know of a way to get around this...? A cheat, a trainer, anything?

After getting the upgrade, how far can you get? Details would help greatly.

I'm stuck here too. No wall visible, but the prince bounce as if there was one instead of grabing the ledge.
It's the jump at 53:31 on this video https://youtu.be/6BLrJPVySds?t=3210

Exactly as DonB described. I ended up using a save editor to place myself back in the great hall after getting the upgrade; there was legitimately no way out.

What save editor did you use? Im stuck in another part of the game that is impposible to escape.

You'll find what you need here... but are you sure? In the game's entire lifespan since 2004, there was only ever that ONE reported softlock. Everything else should be doable. It's extremely likely that you're just overlooking something.

The Bug: Re-entering the clock tower after access to the throne room and hourglass chamber is available may cause this player-faulted bug whereby the player cannot exit the clock tower.

Bug Status: Confirmed. Dead game if followed through.

The Fix: Having a previous save or not carrying out the bug. Entering the clock tower after the initial attempt may result in the player accidentally causing the dead game. The first vertical shaft is the one that players need the "slow time" power to jump past a set of gears near a save point. It features a central platform that can be moved upwards. Activating any switch that lifts the central platform after the initial run-through will result in the bug. The central platform is designed so after the initial run-through, players may use it to ascend and descend without any further effort (aside from jumping and climbing). Dying and retrying may also cause the bug.

The game has many softlocks in it.

Well, hot damn. Right, then that save editor will solve your issue. Just change your location to the great hall.
