Castellan clocks are already destroyed on a new playthrough?

[Seamus]

I started a fresh run on professional and I'm trying to get all of the castellan clocks, however all of the ones I've come across are already destroyed. All i see is a little pair of boots where salazar should be standing. Is this normal?

So the clocks you have destroyed in your previous playthroughs remain persistent?

So even if you don't choose new game + on any difficulty, you can't do the castellans again?
Does that mean the primal knife is then immediately available on every new game you start?

Yes. But using it counts as a bonus weapon so you can't use it for some of the challenge runs.

Yes its normal. Part of the game autosaves stuff like the clock progress. Been like that ever since the Mr Raccoon's in 2Remake. Even if you start a save from before your destruction of the collectible it will still be gone when you get back there again as part of a different auto save file. Which I really dont like to be honest. It should just be tied to normal saves cause if you have to restart, it doesnt make sense for the collectible to be counted already when you start further back again.
