I Can't harvest Clione Queen!!

[Duke_Bubblez]

So after killing the Clione Queen Boss, an icon of what i assum e is a submersible (???) pops up, with the BIG RED X next to it. I assume this is informing me i need a sub to pick up her drops???

How have i been able to kill her if i havent unlocked a sub yet? Ive literally got the game paused irl atm. Im hoping someone has an answer else im going to have to quit the game & NOT complete the Clione Quest for Maki until later on.

Im not sure why ive been allowed to access this Boss if ive not the correct gear to harvest her! I looked on You-Tube, & there's a photo of her dad i cant pick up neither, i assume its all connected!

Someone. or the devs, plz help ASAP!

EDIT: Ive just realised that also, im STUCK in the Clione Queen boss room with her corpse!!!!

Looks like im going to have to end this run via ALT+F4

Best to start from the sea people village so you can beeline there in about 2 minutes. The Cliones will be in the same place as they were. Quattro Axle was a helpful non-elemental gun for this. Surprisingly, it was a bit easier to outdamage her when staying still infront of her. I also avoided using the harpoon to rule that out aswell.

If it's still breaking, be sure to share all the details like stuff you picked up or equipment you brought. I'm sure it can be narrowed down if need be.

Ok hold on....I just unlocked the Village today and I tried leaving the village to the west/left but when I go to the left of that outside area there's like a gate in the way so I can't get out there....are you supposed to? (I kind of thought it was perfect to have the mirror to go down with so I didn't have to swim all the way down but then I couldn't leave the village without porting back to the boat)

And yes I swam to that gate and there was no light to show there's a door and there's no popup saying I could hold a button to leave.

If you now tell me you have to swim up to leave I'll be annoyed =p

Can't remember the village's gates being closed, but they should most definitely open after some talking to the king or doing an errand. One you could do is talking to the "Arcade" Lady Linchen on the right end of the village and catch some stray seahorses. Other errands involve fetching things from outside, for which they definitely have to open the gate.

Once that's done, you can take the gate to the Wolf eel arena, and vice versa.
After harvesting the Clione queen, the game will play a short scene, then automatically return you to the boat.

If you're talking about a similar looking door on the left edge of the dephts, that one's related to a later sea people quest involving a seaturtle.

Again, my memory is very blurry on when exactly the village gate opened, but i'm certain it was pretty much on my first visit there.

I've done a few of the quests but one of them was to kill that Megamouth Shark so I tried leaving the village which worked out but then in the big Eels area there's a like grate on the opening to the left/west and I can't get past that.

I teleported back and got the ball for the kids in that way instead so it worked out but I was hoping for that shortcut to work =)



And yeah, I've done the flowers for the statue, I've picked up the song slate (which I did while also getting the ball), I got 2 of the seahorses but couldn't find the last 2 yet (didn't look very hard), I also finished the food delivery

If you meant a "gate" that looks similar then that's not a shortcut, but a quest area. The two ways back to the surface are either swim back to the mirror or swim all the way up directly.

If you meant "grate" then i can't remember seeing one, honestly.

Either way, good to hear it's solved.

OP might wanna mark an answer if possible, in case others are still looking.

The Clione Queen, and also the goblin shark, bug out when hit with status effects during the fight.

Solution: Either bring only weapons without elements, like quattra axle, or hit the corpse with a harpoon.

Well solved as in, I teleported back but I still don't know how to leave the Village without teleporting =) But yeah, porting works for now.

Edit: yeah this is me being stupid, you swim upwards, I just noticed (and remembered) =p
Second edit, I assume that that's what Dark is saying in his comment which is still awaiting analysis....so thank you for the help Dark =)

think i'm starting to understand what you mean. There's likely a blockade that's meant to keep you from fleeing while fighting the big eel. A grate that, for whatever reason, didn't get deactivated for you after finishing the fight. i'm afraid your save might be stuck with that, best to report that to the devs, sounds very inconvenient.

Gotcha, good to hear everything's intact ^^

Bruh what is with this boss fight? I had a net gun when it started out of the blue (I thought it was going to be a photo event) and beating her with my harpoon and whatever I could manage to get out of the weapon crate without dying was possibly the most frustrating experience I’ve ever had in a video game.

Took me like 30 attempts. Now the objective is bugged (shooting her corpse with my harpoon doesn’t work, I can’t get any kind of action out of her or the photo) and now I am slowly suffocating in her chamber and trying to Google my way out of it.

I was in love with this game an hour ago, it’s going to be really hard to get back to that feeling. Why would you spring such a hard (and inescapable) boss fight on players when load out is so important to being able to beat her?

edit: I figured it out, I’ll leave the above for posterity to convey how frustrating the situation was. I did not realise that my oxygen was not depleting after I defeated the queen. Eventually, after about 5 minutes of spamming X on her and the photo, I got the event to trigger. What a bummer this was.

Which reminds me: why is it so hard to trigger O2 or weapon chests? I really discovered this when I was trying to get air and guns before she killed me. The “am I trying to open this” detector needs to be way more sensitive.

Sigh, sounds like EXACTLY my experience tbh.

Id clocked up a load of hours on the game (Without even getting far!!!) coz i just loved the "feel" of the game. I didnt stress myself with completion etc>, just enjoyed swimming around, lol. Unfortunately my experience with the Clione Queen totally killed the entire game for me! Im not even sure why it impacted me so negatively tbh, coz i WAS lovin the game. I played every, single day, for at least a few hours. It was part of my "chill-out/de-stress" time.

Even after seeing possible solutions here i never went back... :(

Sad to hear the issue still isnt fixed tho mate :/
