Progression Blocker in Buried Refuge on Jedha

[phroZac]

In the Buried Refuge right after Cal meets an Anchorite and Merris holds up the ceiling after the way back is blocked, she gives you an item I guess is supposed to allow you to pass through the green energy shield on the other side of the room. However, I decided to exit and reload from the last save point to explore more before the story progressed but when I got back in game I found that I'm stuck in this room with no way forward or back as the green shield stays put. Since there's only ONE save, I think my game is borked. Good job, Respawn. I was enjoying this run. 15hrs down the drain.

FYI, don't do what I did.

You have to dash through the green forcefields.

I tried but the game was bugged and didn't give me the item apparently. The ceiling rubble was already on the ground and Merrin was still in the room holding it up. No worries though, I found the backup file and swapped it in for my current save. I lost about 10 mins but I'm back, baby! Awesome boss fight sequence after that.
