Unannounced Point Of No Return (Final Request Spoiler)

[Raster]

When you see the final request of the game, the sixth Blue Medallion quest, DO NOT ENTER THE DOOR NEXT TO IT. Look up and take out the last medal. Once you finish Specimen Storage, this Medallion is not visible from any other place in the following area, and you can't backtrack. The game always tells you when you can't go back to handle something except for this point, and even if you get the right angle seen in guides and screenshots, once you cross that point, the Medallion is on your map but physically not there/visible anymore.

This will ruin your attempt to finish all Requests in one run. A single Medallion. It's extremely frustrating. If the game regularly gave you points of no return without warning, it would be a different story, but the Merchant ALWAYS tells you when you can't go back, so having him AFTER this moment is poor placement.

Whichever designer at Capcom thought to do this can eat the fattest part of my ass. Now I'm permanently stuck at 18/19 for literally no good reason.

Screwed that up my first playthrough, so for the second I made sure to take all of them out before going in, I assume you have to turn it into the merchant for it to count. I end up dying once in that bodybag room and then get through and for some reason the last medal didn't count/wasn't saved in the checkpoint

I was doing the all treasure achievement and got myself locked out of the basement lab with the nitrogen (after you fall down the hole in the castle) when you jump down to fight the two giant.

Same goes for the clock tower, once you jump on the elevator theres no return but the merchant only tells you theres no point of return after the you already got up and fully locked from the rest of the map. Got locked out the emerald and portrait side mission as a result on my first run.

They need to do a better job of placing points of no return. The merchant is literally at the start there but he doesnt tell you until after you walk passed him to the next station despite being right at where the actual point of no return is.

They seem to tell you point of no return only because your'e going to move away from said map (Lake, end of castle, end of island) rather than being outright hardlocked from an area of importance.

oh this happened to me I was so mad
I did everything except that blue medallion in the church because I thought it was in the church are on an upper floor
adn ofc I saved 2 times after the fights and only had 2 save files....
