Upper Calrath Door blocked by umbral entity (NG+), whats going on?

[Namae]

Reached Upper Calrath through the elevator after fighting Skinstealer as you do, except I cant open the door. Basically, the same thing that happens later when you fight the Lightreaper is happening now, except Im not at that point yet. The first time you reach this door, you should be able to open it without issues, since thats the only way to progress the game.

The only other way into Calrath is through the shortcut you open from Skyrest Bridge, except you open that shortcut FROM inside Calrath... and since I cant get in, I cant open the shortcut either. So in other words, Im stuck.

Ive searched both here and on reddit and cant find anything about this. I cant be the only one with this issue.

EDIT: Ok this is bizarre, I decided to check the skyrest shortcut anyway and somehow its open, even though Ive never been there in this playthrough, lol. On top of that, the game somehow activated the final lightreaper fight even though I havent even fought him more than once, at the start of the game. What the hell. I think my game just broke completely.

i have the exact same thing happen to me, i also have had the previous lightreaper fights basically skipped. maybe it has something to do with a different ending when you dont light the beacons?

[ZEROEIGHTVALK]

or maybe its just different in ng+ to make the game more linear? since you cant activate vestiges?

i'm not ng+, and i have 1 beacon left (im searching for it and cant find it) but the entry is blocked and it wasnt before.

That seems to be normal, once you only have the last beacon left the entrance becomes blocked and you need to go around, where you have to fight the lightreaper. On NG+ however the entrance is always blocked by an umbral entity. Who the ♥♥♥♥ knows what the devs intended here, if any of it even is intended.

you have to use the "rear" door to get back up. its opposite the place you first fight Pieta. there should be a open door.

Wikis guide is your friend ;)

That shortcut in the Skyrest Bridge is open from the beginning in the NG+. Probably it is some intended alteration of the first playthrough. Can't figure out what's the point of it, though.

the upper calrath shortcut door gets blocked by an umbral entity after you've acquired the rune of adyr. If you've killed the lightreaper already, just head through upper calrath to the shortcut door and kill the umbral entity blocking the path.

The door is open early in the game for players who want to explore the area.

I have this rune but the door to the lamp is still open, what should I do?

Depending on your decisions, you need to take different routes to Upper Cahart / Sewers.

[BlankMinded/Rovie]

This is intended.

You have to go from skyrest bridge to upper calrath via a shortcut described in pervious posts. It should be open automatically. If you didn't open it yourself, you can view it as an npc having opened it themself.

This FORCES you to fight the lightreaper in his "final" location. You can encounter him in a few areas, but if he kills you, he leaves those areas. You only get a proper fight to the death with the Lightreaper during the "endgame", denoted by the umbral entity blocking the Calrath Vestige Door.

As mentioned, different decisions can have minor alterations on game environments. For example, some new enemies spawn in certain locations that weren't there before when doing the inferno ending.

OP, did you already clear out the abbey?
