wound in the sand valve not working

[Desolate Eden]

anyone else got this issue?

[.Master Jiren, The Strongest]

I saw someone else talking about this in another thread. I just got to this quest myself and I completed the quest without any problems.

the other poster said he eventually found out that the valve is timed. So you have to turn it and the characters will tell you if you did it right. then you talk to the girl and she says to meet her back in the village or whatever.

if thats not the problem you're having, then idk. you didnt actually specify specifically what issue you were having. but yeah i did it today and it worked fine for me.

i got inside the pump room and the valve upstairs cant be interacted with, the lever at the bottom works but i have to turn the valve first but apparently climbing back up and standing in front of the valve does nothing, theres no prompt to turn it or anything, it feels like its a bug

that valve for reference, theres no prompt to turn it

If anyone else gets this problem, I can confirm it was a bug, reloading to a previous save and re-doing the quest or at least re-doing the sequence just as you're entering the room will fix it.

Still a problem. Really frustrating ...

I’m having that problem now.. reloaded from save didn’t fix

[Desolate Eden]

you have to load a save before you even entered the room and started that part of the quest, so for me, i loaded back a quick save that was just after clearing the area of the enemies before the room, that worked for me at least

What I did, that worked for me was that I: Load game, chose the 3rd autosave when I was running up the mountain. Restarting and pressing restart from save didnt work!, chose one earlier :)

[joridiculous]

had no issues with the valves in this mission, (besides for the timed sequence when Aloy refuse to jump to the half-ladder).

Having the same problem, please fix it!!

It's a bug that can only be fixed by restarting to an earlier save (or until they patch the issue). People having the prompt not appearing problem has nothing to do with the puzzle, since you have to activate/turn the valve before even attempting the puzzle.

There is another prompt issue in Stillsands with the Tall neck... that's probably related. That prompt appears but can mess up mid animation causing the Tall Neck to never resurrect. Once it fails, the prompt never reappears and the Tall Neck goes low res mode....or ghosty. (umm. reloading from an earlier save is the only way to fix that one, too; or waiting till New Game+ probably....)

Still a problem even into January 2025. Has anything been done about this bug? Not sure why I am asking as I have the latest release (Steam) so probably still no patch. I HATE the general lack of service after a game is released. Take our money with no responsibility given.

Don't know if it's fixed, but as mentioned above: restarting the mission does the trick.
Keep in mind that it's a timed mission (for the valves) though.
