Progression Halting Bug in Endgame

[FortisVenaliter]

Path: The stone door after the observatory

Description:
Cannot progress. Pedestal has locked icon, cannot interact. Chose "Emergency Shutdown" option in Power Obelisk room.

Expected result:
Go through the doors. Experience the end of the game.

Repro rate:
Only once... not going through the hours of endgame with no save points to try again.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get to end of game after hours of play
2. Choose "Emergency Shutdown" to stop artifacts instead of saving dead boy I've known 15 seconds
3. Continue to stone door.
4. Notice a padlock icon on it's pedestal.
5. Have wonderful experience soured by inability to access ending.

This is not a bug. After you activated the emergency shut down an elevator will appear. You need to go to the yacht and open a locked door. There is the key to open the door.

Right, I did take the elevator. It led to a stone door with a pedestal. But the pedestal has a locked icon, so I can't open the door to get back to the penninsula. I was just stuck in the small bit of caves after the elevator. Since I couldn't save, I had no choice but to exit, losing all my endgame progress. Doubt I'll give it another shot now.

You missed an area further along UP. Dont go down the rope, keep going. Explodable wall there back to the main map! Then as Dutchcrazygamer said, back to the yacht for another key to get in that room u were at.

Ugh, really? What was the point of the stone door down there then? The game seemed to be signposting me to go there. Maybe I'll try it again in a week or two.
